Illinois farmer outlook letter forecasts stronger 1957 farm income
USDA officials at the National Agricultural Outlook Conference project a rise in farm income in 1957 after four years of decline. Consumer buying power remains the key support, with food accounting for 25 percent of income. Exports reach record highs and are expected to grow, while corn and wheat stocks and the soil bank program are pointed to as factors shaping 1957 production and prices. Dairy, pork, beef, and soybean sectors are discussed with varying outlooks and anticipated price movements.

Winter brings Newcastle disease in hens with symptoms such as twisting of the head circling and seizures. Dr. L E Hanson from the University of Illinois warns winter months see the most deaths and drop in egg production with common signs including gasping coughing and hoarseness. Isolation of flocks cleaning crates and limiting visitor access are advised as safeguards though no specific treatment exists once infection starts.

Corn Borer May Still Be A Problem In 1957
Illinois fields show fewer over wintering corn borers than last year yet counts remain high enough to threaten 1957 if spring weather favors development. University of Illinois entomologist H B Petty notes borers moved outward in 1956 and pinpoints the northern two thirds of the state as most at risk, with regional per stalk averages ranging from 19 to 228 and a threshold of over one borer per stalk signaling potential trouble.
