Weekly .... FARM PRICE OUTLOOK ! I ■

I — _ This i-» the way prospects for Virginia farm prices looked to the Virginia Department ot Agriculture on Friday, The De partment offers it to farmers with the warning that no one can predict prices and he right all the time.

Eggs By the end of th s week we'il probably be seeing the end of the welcome Pit Paster improvement in egg p:iees If this is any en couragement. the drop won’t be as harsh as it was last year when five

cents was shaved off the Easter price within four weeks. This year's already lower price level—running about ten cents lower than last year—is one reason. The pre-Easter rise amounted to about two cents higher on Grade A

i Larges, and the strong demand for ! white eggs proved "'ha! the season j was the big factor. Richmond price was 34 cents a dozen; Harrison burg. 34-35 cents: Roanoke 30-32 cents on Grade A Larges. Mediums were unchanged. Peak of production usually comes in March and April, so maybe some relief will come along in the not too distant future. Broilers We say cautiously that there may be some encouragement in the price outlook for the next three to six weeks, basing it on what happened l^st year and what is happening this year in production. Extended placements are moving upward steadily, but the margin be tween this year and last year's pro duction levels is narrowing consid erably. Right now we're up 13 per cent above last year, but that figure will di'op week by week until by the first of June, the production level should be just about even with last year. Sinco we'.r heading into the big gest consumption period of the year, that could mean at least some help in s^ht. Last year, when the supply line shot up without faltering, good de mand held the price fairly steady through this period, so actually this year’s outlook holds a little more promise. Virginia prices as well as North Carolina and Georgia were all about 18-19 cents last week.

Veal If you' have" vealers''to “sell, the sooner you can do it. the better, because the general price trend is downward, and that usually con tinues into June. If you have a chance, you might watch the market for any little hesi tation or upward fluctuation, but for this week it looks like we may have just passed such a time. Virginia auctions last week brought $23.50 to $29 for choice and prime grades. Stocker Cattle Demand was strong in the state graded Stocker cattle sales in Vir ginia this week. Sale results were: Lynchburg, steers, $23-$25.50: heifers, good and medium $17-$18; choice and fancy, $18.50 to $19.50 Richmond sale this week will be Wednesday at 1 p.m Winter Wheat Newest figures released on ex pected winter wheat production adds a bit more optimism to the outlook for this year's crop. U. S. production, based on smaller acreage .promises to be nine per cent below last year; 22 per cent below- the ten year average, at 669 million bushels. Virginia's preliminary forecast is! down ten per cent from last year,: at an estimated 6,480,000 bushels, the smallest crop since 1943. Report of on-farm stocks—a par tial picture of the stock situation—' ihows 23 per cent less than last year. 26 per cent below average,

with less than half under govern ment loan compared to two-thirds last year. Scottsville A double feature program at the Scottsville Lions club meeting Wed nesday night held the attention of Lions without the usual squirming. Robert Flood spoke on the forth coming tuberculosis mobile x-ray unit that will be sponsored in the Scottsville magisterial district by the Lions. Dr. George B Minor, of the Uni versity of Virginia Hospital, showed a cancer film, entitled "Warning Shadow." A n"nvnating committee was ap pointed to report at the next meet ing. Those appointed were L. G Dorrier, W. R. Pitts and R. F. Moon. Jr. Donald Carroll is chair man of the program committee and W. A Dawson, Jr., is chairman of the serving committee for the next, meeting, April 24. Crccn Bav ROUTE 1
