The October report by Leslie M. Carl shows eastern Iowa in favorable condition for feed crops as winter nears. Districts 3 and 6 report 62 percent corn condition, above state averages, with notable yields in Cedar Rapids area and harvests shifting to ensilage due to a surplus of seed corn and recent rains delaying fodder and soybean hay harvest.

Butter Moves Out of Storage Slowly
New York City reports a sluggish movement of butter from storage last week, depressing prices as withdrawals from major markets run about one third of last year. Imports add modest stock, with some batches judged inferior, while New Zealand and European butter generally outshine U S creamery butter. Pullet eggs remain plentiful, retailing around 25 to 27 cents a dozen white, with larger eggs at 50 to 60 cents. Dressed poultry faces heavy fryers and rising chick en supplies, keeping prices low. Roasting fowls and broilers show mixed gains amid ample supply.
