Larger Exports of Farm Produce Urged by F B
The American Farm Bureau Federation urged higher exports of soybeans, vegetable oils, cottonseed meat, and other feeds. Board member Charles B. Shuman of Sullivan Illinois said extra soybean shipments in the current quarter could stabilize markets as soybean prices lag government support. He warned that without action farmers may sell at distress prices. The report notes 15 million farm implements and over three million tractors in use, averaging five tools per tractor.

Increase in Oils Causes Decline in Butter Prices
Ames reports sharper butter price drops due to a 20 percent rise in edible oil supplies. A near record soybean crop, largest cottonseed crop since 1937, and bumper peanut oil and flax yields push fats and oils higher for the coming year. Butter responds to edible oil market shifts as demand for ice cream softens. Evaporated milk prices ease and bigger dairy feed supplies also aid the butter decline.
