Freeport (III.) Journal-Standard Pg. 14 Friday, Nov. 8, 1963 Price Outlook On Cattle Is Troublesome By OVID A. MARTIN WASHINGTON (AP) The Agriculture Department said today it foresees possible serious price problems for the nation's cattle industry toward the end of 1964 and early in 1965. This forecast is based on a continuing expanion in cattle production.

Prices this year have been running considerably below last year. Should prices dip, the decline would be felt at a time when cattlemen were going to the polls in the coming presidential election. Cattle production and feeding are important sources of farm income in the Midwestern Corn Belt, the Southwest, the Rocky Mountain area and California. A department report on the livestock and meat situation said fed cattle supplies and prices in 1964 will be strongly influenced by the number of cattle and calves placed on feed during the next few months. "Thus far this fall the movement of feeder cattle into feedlots has been slow although by October feeder prices were from $2 to $3 a hundred poundes under a year earlier," the report said.

Scientists Plot Control Of Flies By Light, Sound WASHINGTON (AP) Scientists at the Agriculture Department's big experimental farm at nearby Beltsville, are experimenting with light, sound and radio waves as possible means of controlling flies. This research is designed to provide new ways of controlling insects without use of chemicals, some of which are hazardous. Light, sound and radio waves are being used as a means of attracting flies to traps and killing baits. Involved in the tests are houseflies, face flies, stable flies and horn flies.
