A continued lower trend is expected in the cattle trade, particularly on lower quality cattle and weighty cattle.

Cattle that are near-finished should be soldi Herm advised. The lamb market appears steady following this week's sharp decline. He said lambs that are fat should be sold. Feeders will continue dull and need buying. The hog market appears steady next week.

Agency Reports Seasonable Wage Rates Set New Record WASHINGTON (UPI) state study of the problems of 1 low income The study was Seasonal farm wage rales have hit new record highs in every region of the country, an Agriculture Department report showed today. For the nation as a whole, the average hourly wage for farm workers was 80.6 cents an hour, up one per cent from last year. The largest regional increases reported were 3 to 4 per cent in the west-north-central, south central and Pacific states, the department said.

WASHINGTON (UPD-An Agriculture Department economist says farm price support programs can't solve the income problems of families in low-income rural areas. Buis T. Inman said this was one of the findings in a federal- 497 East Berrien Street PRICED-RITt PACKAGE LIQUOR 189 N. Cherry St. (on the near north side) "The oame tells the difference" done under the administration's rural development program.

Inman said the main trouble in such farm area's is underemployment and the failure to make fuft use of farm resources. One solution, he said, was industrial development. Another listed was more training to help farm people qualify for better jobs both on and off the farm. Inman said the study found that the problems of farmers can't be handled apart from the economic troubles of non-farmers living in the same areas. Both groups, he said, have to be helped at the same time by the same program.

WASHINGTON (UPI) The first water, conservation stamp ever issued in the United States will come out early next year. The Agriculture Department said the stamp will be a 4-center.

WASHINGTON (UPD-The Agriculture Department has decided to quit sterilizing male screw- worm flies and releasing them in southeastern states to mate with unsuspecting female flies. Reason: the release of more than 2,750,000,000 sterile males since July, 1958, has about eliminated the screwworm population of the Florida-Georgia-Alabama- South Carolina area.

The cattle pests were wiped out by taking scientific advantage of the fact that the female fly mates only once. Males, reared in captivity, were sterilized by exposure to radioactive cobalt. The males then were released by the millions over infested areas, They mated with females but the females' eggs didn't hatch. Gradually, the screwworm population was reduced to virtually nothing.

Mureen, who was already associated with the firm.

Macmillan May Propose Early Summit LONDON (AP) Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, backed by an overwhelming vote of confidence from the British people, hopes to arrange an Easl-West summit conference as early as next month, informants said. Macmillan told the nation Friday night that the sweeping election victory by his Conservative party meant a clear-cut mandate "to play our full part in the constant search for peace." Macmillan has told President Eisenhower privately he favors quick Western action to take advantage of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's current conciliatory attitude, informants said. Macmillan also fears too long a delay in setting up top-level talks could produce new international tensions.

The British consider November the best month to arrange a summit conference before the American presidential campaign begins to warm up. They are confident Eisenhower will go along with the idea if French President Charles de Gaulle and West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer agree. But De Gaulle has leaned toward another prior session of foreign ministers. Adenauer reportedly prefers delaying the summit conference until after Eisenhower's visit to the Soviet Union next spring. Macmillan constantly hit on the summit theme during his re-election campaign that ended Thursday with the Conservatives thoroughly trouncing Hugh Gaitskell's Labor party and doubling their majority in the House of Commons.

With only two of the 630 districts unreported, the Conservatives won 364 seats, compared with 258 for Labor and 5 for the Liberals. Of the two remaining contests, one is expected to go Conservative, the other liberal. In winning their third straight national election, the Conservatives piled up 49.4 per cent of the vote to 43.9 for the Laborites. Marriage Licenses E. Switzer and Mrs.
