Swanson, general manager, announces that for (he first time a swine carcass contest will be held at Michigan State Fair Sept. 4 through 13. The show is designed lo grade barrows according to their carcass value as determined by the highest combination of pounds and quality of pork and pork products.

All breeds and cross breeds are eligible and will compete together, according to Swanson. who said that each exhibitor will be limited to one barrow weighing 190 to 220 pounds inclusive. Qualifying hogs will be judged at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 5, and ribbons awarded to the first 10 placings.

A substantial increase in cotton production is indicated as acreage plrinlcd is up 28 percent from last year when Hie soil bank idled five million of cotton land.

Much of the increase: in corn acreage has come from reductions in acreage planted lo competing grain sorghum and In addition, the end of the soil bank acreage reserve released considerable acreage for corn and oilier crops. Further, some land previously in hay and grass has been planted lo corn. The incentive lo expand corn acreage has come from higher support prices on corn coupled with lower support prices on alternative crops.

The 10. support for corn is $1,12 a bushel without any acreage allotments, compared with $1.00 for corn grown outside acreage; allotments in 1958. On the other hand, supports for the other feed grains have been cut 18 percent and for soybeans have been cut 11 percent. Corn yields this year arc indicated lo be bushels per acre, slighUy below last year's record of 51.7 bushels. Whether yield and production forecasts will be real- depends, of course, on the weather and growing conditions between now and harvest limr.

Some places in this area report the driest June and first half of July in history. Farm land values continue to increase in most areas of Seventh District, according to reports of country bankers.

Compared with a year ago, tin- increase in the district has been four percent with Illinois increasing somewhat, more and Michigan and Wisconsin somewhat less.

The report shows that June production in most Michigan markets was down from May and showed only slight increases over June, 1058. In the Detroit market, total production during June was 178,000,000 below May, and only 2,000,000 higher than last June. Prices remained steady with last month and last year.

Dealers paid for milk used for bottling purposes f58 percent of total deliveries). Under terms of the price agreement negotiated by MMPA, this was cents a hundred more Ihan the federal order price.

The largest number of Japanese, beetles trapped in the state in i years have been captured in the metropolitan Detroit area, according to Michigan department of culture's plant industry division. The total was 1,583 and most of them came from a limited area. The Japanese beetles are highly destructive to all types of vegetation, feeding on 250 or more types of plants. Slightly larger than a fly. it has a metallic appearing i bronze, body and a metallic green i head.

Under its wing coverings it has three white dots on each side of its body. To detect the presence of the pest, representatives of the stale 1 department of agriculture have placed 12,000 traps in the state, mainly along the southern boun- claries of the state and near transportation centers. The beetle is a hitch-hiker and finds hi.s way into Michigan on railroad cars, trucks, buses and cars. Japanese beetle traps often arc i seen in parks and on private prop- erty. They arc bright yellow with cone and fins and are supported i by a metal rod stuck into the ground.

The trap is baited, with a non-poisonous aromatic substance which lures Japanese beetles for a distance of 1,000 feet. Purpose of the traps is lo determine the presence of the insect. Adjacent areas are soil treated with chemicals that destroy the grubs in the ground where they live for 10 months before they emerge. In this state the normal lime of emergence is 'fuly. Because of its control and eradication program Michigan has never been quarantined for Japanese beetle.

Department of agriculture officials point out thai only by constant work can spread of infestation be checked.
