FARM CONDmONS IN RED RIVER
COUNTY, SEEN BY COUNTY AGENT
By PAUL HERSCHLER
Red River County Agent
“A Million Dollar Raise" was
the comment made by many land-
owners when describing the week
end rain we received last week-
end.
Additional nitrogen fertiliser
on meadows and pastures will
pay dividends if we can maintain
enough soil moisture to encour-
age grass growth. With the rain
we have had. crop prospects look
much brighter for this area.
We have received a number
of different livestock product
situations and expected trends
which I would like to summar-
ise and send along for your con-
sideration.
A sharp cut in hatchings of re-
placement chicks will keep egg
production below 1959 level thru
the rest of I960. The number of
chickens raised in I960 is likely
to be at least a fifth below 1959
and the smallest since records
began in 1909. A small part of
this reduction in hen numbers
may be offset by higher produc-
tion per bird. Egg prices are ex-
pected to average considerably
higher for I960.
Hog prices have moved up
about $4 rirxe the December low.
By mid-year marketings will be
considerably below a year car- ________

tier. The fall price outlook is
considerably brighter than a year
ago because hog producers had
the good sense to cut back after
a bleak profit in 1959. High peak
is expected in August with a price
level well above last year for the
remainder of 1960.
Cattle slaughter is expected to
continue above last year; but
production should continue to
exceed slaughter. Numbers are
likely to increase again this year,
though probably at a slower rate
than the big 4.9 million head
boost of a year ago. Prices arc
expected to be some lower with
good quality calves remaining in
good demand.
Milk production during the
first four months of the vear has
»>ecn running about 1 per cent
ahead of 1959 output. Prices are
expected to be somewhat strong-
er for 1960.
Anothei big peach crop is be-
ing produced in the 9 Southern
States this year. Prospects indi-
cate a 15H million bushel pick,
which is 4 per cent above a year
ago and 56 per cent above aver-
age. Another large crop in Cali-
fornia looks likely.
Thought: A boy becomes a
man when he walks around a
puddle instead of through it.
