Kendall Urged for Farm Administrator Then Declines
Former Iowa governor Nate Kendall was urged to accept as chief administrator of the Agricultural Adjustment Act in the state but withdrew his name citing Washington concerns. Governor Clyde Herring said President Wallace asked two to five names be sent for his consideration and that the farmer member of the state board must be named first. The report notes opposition to R. K. Bliss of Ames and hints at other political maneuvering as Wallace weighs appointments.

Weekly receipts fell about 30 percent from the prior period, limiting movement of hogs at current price levels.

Barley Gains Much Less Than Other Grains in May Markets
Washington D C May grain market notes show barley selling near last year’s price while other grains rise 5 to 20 cents per bushel. Corn leads on crop uncertainty with late planting, spring and winter wheats differ by about 20 cents year to year. Feed markets lag as by product feeds expand with steady demand. Livestock values improved last week though declines in high quality steers. Dressed meat trade slow to rise amid higher hog prices and increased marketings. Three lamb classes defined: fed yearlings, spring lambs, and grass yearlings from Texas. Butter prices show uncertain dealer sentiment with storage and policy expectations clouding plans. Dairy cow numbers up slightly toward year end while hen production edges forward.
