Sheep And Lambs Open
Once again the marketing open-
ed at Fort Worth Monday with
over 10,000 sheep and lambs at
hand and prices were fully steady
to strong. Choice fat Spring lambs-
topped at $22 and $22.50, and
some good clipped yearling lambs
sold at $16, with choice kinds
quotable $16 to $17.
Feeder Spring lambs at $15.50
down, and old crop wethers feed-
er lambs sold around $12 to $12.-
50. Yearling ewes were quotable
around $15, and stocker eyes con-
tinued very scarce and in very
broad demand.
Something For The
Figure Addicts!
Somebody figured out that 2,-
606,000,000 hot dogs will be con-
sumed this year between Memor-
ial Day and Labor Day. This would
be a string of hot dogs 246,780
miles long, or ten times the cir-
cumference of the earth. This av-
erages 15.85 hot dogs per capita
for our over 164,000,000 popula-
tion. Last year it was only 15.33
hot dogs per capita.

Testing Service
For Vetch Growers
Testing servias for vetch, grow-
ers, provided in recent years by
the Vetch Seed Testing Laboratory
of the Agricultural Experiment
been transferred to the Texas De-
partment of Agriculture.
The Seed Laboratory of the De-
partment is now equipped and has
the personnel to handle promptly
the testing of vetch as well as oth-
er seeds, says Dr. R. D. Lewis, di-
rector, Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station.
Cliff Deaton, Jr., enief. Seed Di-
vision, Texas Department of Agri-
culture, reports that the fees au-
thorized by "The Texas Seed Law"
will be used to support the testing
laboratory.
Instructions for sampling, test-
ing and labeling of vetch seed
have been distributed in the state
and vetch growers who plan to sell
seed may secure information on
the testing services from local
county agricultural agents.
Vetch seed producers are re-
minded that 14 days are required
for making the test. Seed samples
should be submitted for analysis
if possible, at least six weeks in
advance of the expected selling
date.

Some Corn Belt markets report-

Belt farmers are getting things
squared away to devote more time

This may also indicate that fed
cattle offerings will taper off a
little at those points. Grainfed
cattle have been under heavy
pressure due to heavy movements

year. Prices on fed cattle are 20<"f
lower now than on January 1.
Cows And Slaughter
Calves Decline Sharply
Shippers and independent pack-

bore down on cow prices at Forts
Worth in Monday's trade and pri-

calves also met sharply lower bids
in most cases. It was the first se-
rious break in prices on these
classes in several weeks.
