If you had a few black -walnut trees, they would sell for almost any price put on them. Nut trees, as fruit trees, will produce all needed shade beside the production of edible foods. Hatcheries Test Flocks. The local hatcheries are blood- testing their flocks that furnish eggs for hatching, as commercial hatcheries are compelled to hatch from only tested flocks.

Many flocks are kept for eggs for consumption" only, Ijut nearly all farmers grow their own chicks, so whether flocks are kept for breeders it is advisable to have them bloodtested to help keep the premises free of disease. While having the flocks blood- tested, it is a good thing to have each individual deloused and wormed. Regardless of how good a flock one has, care is about two thirds of the battle. If you are not equipped to furnish warm water in cold weather, give them warm water each morning and noon and the extra eggs will more than pay for the time required.

Cattle on Feed In Corn Belt At Peak Level Record High Prices And Favorable Feed Situation Credited NATIONAL STOCK YARDS, high prices for fat cattle since decontrol, coupled with an extremely favorable feed situation, has encouraged heavy cattle feeding in the corn belt, according to the Producers Live Stock Commission Association. Shipments of feeder and stocker cattle into corn belt states for November and for five months. July to November, are shown to be the largest of record. Results will be a heavy movement of grain-fed cattle to market next spring and summer. The Department of Agriculture reports about 2.050.000 head of stocker and feeder cattle moved into eight corn belt states for the fiv months, around 330.000 head or 19 Dei- cent above 1945 and neariy 100,00 head more than in the previous record year of 1939.

Fewer Outside Corn Belt Reports from states outside the corn belt indicate that there will be a considerable reduction in the number of cattle finished in feedlots. but an increase in wheat pasture cattle. Of the 11. western states, only California and Oregon ar expected to feed more cattle this season than last. Due to November storms and snow, feeding in Colorado may be reduced even more than seemed probable early in November.

Weather has been generally favorable for cattle feeding in the corn belt and with abundant feed and good-quality corn, cattle are reported to have made made good gains. On the other hand, conditions in the western states have not been favorable. Current attractive prices for shortfed steers are encouraging the marketing of many beeves ahead of schedule. This may ease the supply situation somewhat later on. Some trade members look for a bunching of hogs next month.

but this, it is predicted, will be followed by smaller runs and strong prices until the fall of 1947. Christmas Pageant At Grant Chape! Thursday A Christmas pageant.
