"SERVING Volume 51 Number 36 Delta Livestock Auction Begins Competitive Bidding at Hog Sales Delta Livestock Auction announces announ-ces this week a change on their sales schedule that is of interest and benefit to producers of hogs in the area. Commencing Tuesday, March 14, Delta Livestock Auction will sell fat and feeder hogs at public auc tion from 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon and every other Tuesday thereafter (March 28, April 11, April 25, and so on). Delta Livestock Auction will not Bennett Cosponsors Surplus Wheat and Feed Grain Bill Washington, March 3 Sen. Wallace Wal-lace F. Bennett (R-Utah) joined Friday as cosponsor of a bill to solve the nation's surplus wheat and feed grain problem. The bill, developed in coopera tion with the American Farm Bureau Federation, provides that the Secretary of Agriculture shall determine annually the over-all acreage adjustment of wheat, feed uiiio, ovyjr ui. uiiO) unit i 41ak iit,-o i sary to bring production in line; with anticipated need. The Secre- tary also shall establish annually the percentage of cropland which must be placed under contract to qualify for price support on these commodities. "One of the great benefits of this bill in Utah would be that it would reduce the cost of feed grains to the cattle, dairy, and poultry industries," Sen. Bennett said. "It will also be of long-run benefit to the wheat growers of the state, releasing wheat stocks so they can be used for feed. Under current programs, prices are too high to encourage the use of wheat by the feeders." Sen. Bennett said the long-run advantage to wheat growers would .be to reduce the wheat surplus and I open up future markets for wheat, j He said it also would reduce the cost of the farm program to the taxpayers. In order to participate in the price support program, producers of wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, sorghum, sor-ghum, soybeans and flax must par- ticipate in a proposed Cropland Adjustment Ad-justment Program. This program is designed to remove a basic cause ! of continuing low farm income by , retiring land from wheat and feed grain production, since these crops are in most serious surplus. "This bill is the culmination of extensive study by the American Farm Bureau, and I hope it will meet with Congressional approval," Sen. Bennett said. West Millard Wildlife Schedules Predatory Bird and Animal Contest West Millard Wildlife at their monthly meeting Monday night set up a program for getting people interested in Wildlife Conservation.

Of prime interest to local feeders and producers of hogs is the fact that packer buyers will be at the Tuesday auctions to bid on hogs. Elwin Pace, Delta Livestock Auction Auc-tion owner and manager, and hog producers are fully agreed that hogs sold at auction under competitive compe-titive bidding will result in better bet-ter prices. In fact, the change was made at the request of a number of hog producers, Mr. Pace said. Heretofore the auction company has bought hogs on commission for one packing company, Mr. Pace said. The new set-up will establish a good market for fat as well as feeder hogs, according to both Mr. Pace and producers of hogs. Cattle will be sold EVERY Tuesday, Tues-day, commencing at 1 p.m., at the Delta Livestock Auction. The annual Spring Sale of feeder or stocker cattle is scheduled at Delta Livestock Auction on Tuesday, Tues-day, April 4, opening at 10 a.m. This is a reputation spring sale and buyers from several western states will be at the auction, which assures as-sures sellers of top prices through competitive bidding. The Spring Sale is being widely advertised and Delta Livestock Auction is preparing for a major event bigger and better than the highly successful sales of preceding preced-ing years.

Utah Farmers Union Asks Price Freeze On Feed Grains, Wheat Now in Storage Efforts by Utah Farmers Union to have Secretary of Agriculture, Or-ville Or-ville L. Freeman, freeze the price of all present, stocks of feed grains and feed wheat owned by the U-nited U-nited States Commodity Credit Corporation at $1.06 per bushel on corn and related prices on other feed grains were announced today by Foster S. Reese, President. He made the announcement in conjunction with the mailing of a written request to the Secretary of Agriculture and Frank E. Moss, Utah's Democratic United States Senator, concerning the price freeze. Mr. Reese said the farm group had received reports that the Secretary Sec-retary of Agriculture had requested Congress to pass a law or laws which would increase the price of corn from its present price support of $1.0G per bushel to $1.20 per bushel with other feed grain supports sup-ports related to corn. "Although Farmers Uunion supports sup-ports this program 100," Mr. I Reese explained in his tetter to Senator Moss, "our concern is regarding re-garding the disposition of the feedj grain now in the hands of the gov-1 ernment. Many grain speculators will want to take advantage of the government's present support' price on feed grains and then resell re-sell them under the new support price, thus netting for themselves millions of dollars at the expense of the original producer and the federal government." In the request directed to Secretary Secre-tary Freeman, it was emphasized by the group that Utah and many western states are deficiency feed producing areas, and this new support sup-port law will automatically raise the price of feed grains to many turkey, chicken, pork, lamb and beef feeders as much as 25 to 35 cents per 100 weight. It was also contended by the group that, with these higher feed grain prices and the present lower market prices, a financial hardship on the part of many Utah and western west-ern farmers would occur possibly forcing many into bankruptcy. The exact text of the resolution sent by the Utah Farmers Union to Secretary of Agriculture Orville L Freeman was as follows: 1. Freeze all present stocks of feed grains and feed wheat owned by the United States Commodity Credit Corp., and that any other feed grains which will come into their possession under present laws be reserved for shipment to drought, depressed and deficiency feed producing areas at present on ifuSi&tn Delta High School Building Committee Com-mittee Meets With Board The Delta High School Building Committee met with the board of education and discussed the possi ble construction of a new high school at Delta and other building needs in the district.

Forecasts for the streams in Southern Utah have been decreased decreas-ed about 20 compared to fore-easts fore-easts issued a month ago.

Near 60 to 70 of average is forecast for the East Fork of the Sevier River, the Beaver River, the Virgin River and for Coal Creek. The April-June total inflow for the Sevier River from Kingston to Vermillion Dam is forecast to be 21,500 acre-feet (46 of average) and no daily peak flows are expected ex-pected to exceed 400 cfs. For the reach from Vermillion Dam to Gunnison, Gun-nison, the March -June inflow is expected to be 26,000 acre-feet (42 of average). Inflow toy months for this reach is forecast as indicated below: March April May June July August September 7,300 6,000 6,900 5,800 5,200 4,900 3,800 acre acre acre acre acre acre acre feet feet feet feet feet feet -feet Total: March-June, 26,000 acre-feet. acre-feet.
