Weekly .... FARM PRICE OUTLOOK

1 his is the wav prospects for Virginia farm prices looked to the Virginia Department of Agriculture on Friday. The De partment offers it to farmers with the warning that no one can predict prices and be right all the time.

Hogs There probably won't be much change in ling prices in the next couple of weeks. Receipts art in the general down ward trend. Last week they were six per cent less than the week bo fop 17 per cent below the same week a year ago. In both 1955 and 1956, prices held fairly steady for around six weeks after Easter. Virginia auctions averaged five cents higher last week at $18.05 top weight; Richmond yards, 25 cents higher at $lf!-SI8.5(i. Mid-West mar kets were 25 cents higher at $18.25

to $18.75. Cattle It should pay to aim at moving any finished slaughter animals as soon as they're ready, with mid June as a sort of deadline. The slight slack in local supply will probably be felt through this period, the in-between time of fed cattle sales and off-grass sales. Results of the final state-graded Stocker sales last week compared to 1956. were: Richmond, good choice, and fancy teers, $23-$25.25; top $26: good, choice and fancy heifers, $18-$20; top, $21.50.

Last week's sale prices on regu j lar livestock auction markets were t Lynchburg, good, $20-$22.80, and Petersburg, good. $16-$19.50. White Potatoes Chances of hitting the streak of : luck Virginia's white potato growers : had last year are pretty slim. Plant growth is already a week j or more late, and acreage on the Shore is around nine per cent above last year; the rest of the state : about the same as last year. Harvesting will probably be | stretched out over more time, and chances of meeting volume compe tition from other producing areas are increased. Strawberries Strawberries on the Shore were hurt by frost last week, almost surely enough to delay volume pick ing as much as two weeks. Favor able weather between now and then is the only hope for overcoming the damage Acreage is eleven per cent above last year. Tomatoes Some tomato fields were badly hurt by the frost; some hurt none at all. Replanting is under way in some places.
