CATTLE PRICES AHEAD OF SOME FARM PRODUCTS Cattle .are marching in first place in the farm price parade. In March cattle prices stood at 100 percent of parity--and without benefit of price supp o r t , p r o d u c t i o n c o n t r o l s , marketing quotas, direct payments or export subsidies. Nor was this high standing achieved by small marketings. Beef 6utput in February and March was equal to that of the same months of 1958. And in 1958 there was enough beef to allow 80 pounds for every person in the United States. That was 5 pounds more than the 1949-58 ten-year average. And that ten-year average is thfe largest on record. Prices of cattle have stood up well under unusual competition from other meats. The February- March output of pork was up 22 percent over 1958 figures, and the supply of broilers was probably up 10 to 15 percent." A boost in consumer incomes has helped to support the demand for beef. Personal income was flowing in February at a record rate of $365 billion a year--a billion dollars a day! That was 5 percent more than one year before. And there was a further increase in March. Recent prices for cattle have been relatively higher than prices of closely associated farm products. Compared with the 1949-58 ten-year averages, cattle in March were 20 percent higher than milk, 41 percent higher than hogs and 59 percent higher than corn. Recent cattle prices have boon about midway between the highest and lowest annual a vomers of the past ten years. Highest yearly average price for steers at Chicago was $35.72 in 1951.

Steer prices at the end of March were $28.73. At the same times the farm prices of corn averaged $1.66, $1.30 and $£.06. Consequently 100 pounds of steers were worth as much as 21.5 bushels of corn in 1951 and only 17.2 bushels in 1956. But 100 pounds of steers was worth as much as 27.1 bushels of corn at the end of last month. Obviously prices of cattle and corn have strayed far from their normal relationship. Recent hog prices, too, have been high in relation to corn, but not so high as cattle. The hog-corn price ratio in March was 14.5 compared with a tenyear average of 13.1. Highest annual average in the past ten years was 18.2 in 1958. Lowest average was 11.0 in 1952. Cattle prices appartently have the most adjustment to make. Abundant feed supplies produced in 1957 and 1958 have been holding cattle on farms and ranches. The accumulataion began in . November 1957 and has been, going on for over 17 months. Not all of the holding has been for breeding purposes. Fbr example, the number of steers on farms Jan. 1 was up 8 percent from a year earlier, and up 12 percent from two years before. So far this year, fewer cattle have been slaughtered than in 1958. But by-iate summer or early fall, cattle slaughter may be running well over 1958 levels. Most ranch cow herds have been rebuilt, and sales of cows will probably increase moderately. The actual rate will depend somewhat on the weather. Government By Amateurs "Government" is a funny thing. It runs best when it is run by amateurs. You and I are the amateurs on whom successful government rests. If we amateurs don't take a personal interest in it. and try to do something 3|R>yit it, government will gat wbrse. And we are talkuig^about the federal government--the one what needs the most attention right now."
