Wednesday visits noted with Linda and Francis Moffatt and Thursday with Ed McDonald, W P Lynch, and James Lynch family. Extension farm economist Francis Kutish of Iowa State College says low-grade cattle prospects are strong as wheat pasture shortages in Kansas and Oklahoma reduce winter and early spring slaughter supplies, signaling pressure on lower grades in late winter and early spring 1953.
