From the Office of the €.C.A.

U.S. GENERAL

The cattle market at major
centres this week showed quite
a bit of uncertainty, with the
trade more or less on a specialty
basis. A few loads of prime
cattle sold to better advantage
at most market points, but the
bulk of offerings were a little
slow.

At midweek, odd loads of
prime steers at midwest markets
were strong to as much as: 1.00
higher. The bulk of choice and
lower grade kinds were a litle
slow to move on all sessions,
and prices ranged from steady
to as much as 50¢ under the
close of last week.

To say the least, the trade
has been very uneven. One
salvation for the dressed beet
trade is the small supp!y,
for there fo continued pressure
tor lower prices. Any slight
increase in offerings might well
put the market lower, for the
over-all economic situation in
many sections of the country is
far from, good.

The first step in getting pro-
ductive fields is the use of
species most suited to the pur-
pose and location. R. Fry, the
district agriculturist at Quesnel,
will be mailing out a list of the
recommended species to the
farmers in the Williams Lake
area during the next week. For
those who are not as yet on his
mailing list, the recommenda-
tions are given here.

For hay and silage crops
where alfalfa is suited: brome
grass at six pounds per acre;
alfalfa at 10 pounds per acre.

For permanent pasture field
under irrigation: 12 pounds of
brome grass, eight pounds of
orchard grass, and one pound of
ladino clover. Where there is
no irrigation: 10 pounds of
orchard grass and one pound of
wild white clover, ig

These mixes should be seeded
into a well prepared seed bed
to which all manure available
has been added. Also commer-
cial fertilizer should be used:
