Feed supplies. are ample with prices on the firm but not rising side. Prices will range around the support levels except for dips during the harvest periods. Cattle prices in 1957 will average out about like 1956. Cattle numbers are not increasing and for the next four or five years, as population increases, supply of beef per person ought to decrease. Hogs - appear better for 1957 than 1956. Farrow- ings are dropping and supplies will be down. The summer of 1957 looks like a good marketing period. Broilers will be plentiful with pros- pects for somewhat better prices. Egg supplies will equal those of 1956 with no great change in prices for the year.

John McGowan, dairy the College of Agriculture Extension Ser- vice says Georgia ranks 26th in the na- tion with 14,270 cows on test and 27th in the nation percentage wise with 4.3 per- cent of the dairy cattle population on ' DHIA test. : And although artificial breeding is available to three-fourths of our dairy herds, only 7.5 percent of our cows were ~ bred artificially in 1955, McGowan says. Pointing out that the average size of (Continued On Page 4) Test Plots To Back Oat Production Tips The average Georgia farmer uses 24 pounds of nitrogen per acre on oats, while the application recommended by the Col- lege of Agriculture Extension Service is twice that amount. Test plots established to show the dif- ference in results of the two practices have been established in 36 counties, ac- cording to Ralph L. Wehunt and P. J. Bergeaux, Extension soils and fertilizer specialists at the University of Georgia. Bach test area will consist of. four acres, the agronomists explained. The oats will be harvested for grain and yield measurements made to determine the ef- - fect of each nitrogen source and rate of ap- plication. The programs purpose is to show farmers a comparison of nitrate of soda and ammonium nitrate used at different rates of application. The two nitrogen sources will be ap- plied at two rates 24 pounds and 48 pounds of N per acre.

BRUCELLOSIS Counties Free Of Disease 1 Help Make Georgia Brucellosis Free By 1960 ERADICATION Counties Not Free of Disease 158 Des Litfle Change Noted are competing with industry for labor, and its a tight squeeze. Machinery operation and repairs cost Georgia farmers $68,000,000 in 1953. Add another $68,000,000 for depreciation of eapital items and you have a yearly cost of $136,000,000. Steel prices are up. This cost will not go down. Farmers are having to add morenot lessmachinery to hold production up and try to push unit costs down. Three practices appear sound in 1957 operations. First, careful purchasing to get full price discounts in buying the things you must have, Second, getting full production per acre, per animal or fowl,- and per hour of labor and machine. Third, marketing for the top prices on what. you have to sell.
