“Let’s Talk
Live Stock”
By Ted Gouldy
There were four major devel-
opments in the livestock in-
dustry during the past week
which were noted at Fort Worth.
1. Packer’s were caught in a
squeeze between prices they can
get for the meat at their ceiling
levels and the fact that stocker
and feeder buyers were getting
the bulk of the calves since
their prices are restrained only
by the degree of optimism with
which they view the future.
2. The 'sharp advance of stock-
er prices, especially calves and
yearlings.
3. The rumors that Washing-
ton jAdministration circles are
girding for a battle which would
separate ceiling prices and
wage controls and that there
is some talk of abandonment of
the parity principal in Washing-
ton circles.
4. Increasing indications that
hogs will be the first livestock
and meat to have ceilings im-
posed Nationally and that dates
between the first and 15th of
March are the popular guess as
to when this will happen. Ru-
mor has it that $24 is the top
being talked of for hogs.
Some small packers were re-
ported cutting down slaughter
operations because of their in-
ability to get sufficient num-
bers of calves. Most packers
were limited to paying around
$35 to $36 for fat calves (they
could pay more but would lose
a great deal of money if they
did and had to sell the meat
at ceilings) and the kind of
calves which would attract such
packer bids were bringing from
$37 to $40 as stockers and light
calves sold to $45, and baby
calves reached $50 to $65 per
hundred. The F. M. Richards
Estate, Brady, had some baby
calves at $50 and averaged
around 160 pounds. Some 170-
pound calves sold at $65 later
in the week. Joe LaRoe, Kauf-
man, had some 260-pound calves
at $45. J. S. McDowell, Ranger,
had some 349-pound mixed
steers and heifers at $42. One
load of 300-pound calves bought
in the country at $29 last week,
brought $43.25 this week.
In the steer and yearling line,
Nelson Davis, Buckholts, had 27
mixed yearlings at 670 pounds
at $32.50 and 12 Brahmas at 774
pounds at $32.60. L. E. Robin-
son, O’Donnell, had two loads
of 533-pound steer yearlings at
$41, and 501-pound heifers at
$38, and some 715-pound yearl-
ings at $37. B. T. Gardner, Win-
30 steers at 925 pounds
new all time record for
heavy steers was set as a load
of 21 weighing 1,107 pounds
from Werner Bros., of Coleman
County, drew $37.
G. A. McClung again proved
the value of creep feeding calves
when he sold around six loads
of yearlings at Fort Worth that
averaged about 870 pounds from
his Johnson County ranch which
topped at $37. Mr. McClung is a
strong believer in keeping
his calves on the mend at all
times and feeds them steadily
from the time they will eat. His
success in topping the market
time after time reflects the suc-
cess of this type of operation.
The yearlings he sold this week
netted around $313 per head.
J. W. Tabor, Goodlett, had
two loads of $33.25 yearlings
that averaged 677 pounds. M. S.
Wells, Childress County, had
some heavy mixed steer and
heifer yearlings that scaled 1,-
005 pounds at Fort Worth and
brought $35.50. Several strong
’ s in the feeder department
uded 15 head from Mr. and
rs. J. D. Cartwright of Terrell
961 pounds at $34. R. L. Kin-
of Crowell had some 680-
pound feeders at $34 at Fort
Worth. Hunt Oil Company, Win-
ona, had 31 feeder steers of 887
pounds at $34 and the plainer
end were 17 steers of 897 pounds
at $33. W. M. Covington, Alvord,
marketed 17 yearlings at 437
pounds at $40.
New all time Fort Worth ree-
for milk fat lambs was set
at $38.50 this week when Andy
Taylor of Plainview had 41
head that weighed 89 pounds
at the price. A. L. Neal of Mc-
Culloch County, set a new all
time Fort Worth record with 380
clipped yearlings, they were
clipped the day before they were
sold, at 117 pounds at $28 per
hundred. A new all time Fort
Worth record for wooled feeder
lambs was set by Paul Kropp of
Floyd County, the 66 head
Get Your Car
Tags NOW
Under the state law you MUST have your car tags
on your car not later than the first of April, but they
can be placed any time this month.
BUY THEM EARLY
You are urged to get your car and truck tags early,
for there is always a rush at the last minute which
makes it very difficult to handle the sale of these tags.
REGISTER AT HOME
Last year several cars in Cottle County were regis-
tered in other counties. This is against the law and
we ask that you do not do this in the future.
A part of your registration fee remains in the
county and you thus get the benefit of it. It keeps
your money at home, besides being against the law to
register anywhere else.
ELMER CLARK, Collector
weighing 98 pounds at $37.50.
The weaker hog market this
week was credited to heavier
receipts around the market cir-
cle.
The dressed meat trade in the
East was sharply lower as the
week ended, reflecting in part
the roll-back of some packer
prices and also probably caused
by consumer resistance to high
prices in some degree.
Rheumatic Fever
Is Serious
Rheumatic fever is serious be-
cause it may affect the heart,
said Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer. Age is important.
Rheumatic fever usually begins
in childhood at about age five
or six, although adults may
have it. There is a suscepti-
bility to the disease which
causes rheumatic fever to be
more common in some families
than others. The other factors
which may favor its onset, com-
bined with an individual sus-
ceptibility, are frequent chill-
ing, damp or overcrowded liv-
ing quarters, and a poor diet.
It is also known that one at-
tack of rheumatic fever does
not protect a child from future
attacks as, for example, one at-
tack of measles does. On the
contrary, rheumatic fever tends
to recur. Repeated attacks are
more likely to damage the heart.
It is not communicable as
chickenpox and measles are,
and there is no danger of catch-
ing it by being in contact with
a child who has it.
Leon M. Lane, field represen-
tative for Texas’ farm bureau,
visited the first of this week with
his brother, Mr. and Mrs. G. J.
Lane.
