Do not release cattle until wire confirmations from buyers’ banks, and consider accompanying sales to terminal markets to avoid losses.

Farmers Can Expect Little Change In Prices
Manhattan reports Kansas State University Extension economist Don D. Pretzer says the 1969 wheat crop is the second best in Kansas and prices are unlikely to rise in the coming months or for the next three to five years. He notes record supplies, bumper crops, and lower exports will keep prices near loan levels.

Local Men Raise Wintergreens For Public And Personal Use
Winton Winter and Harold Wallace grow Austin White and Pandrosa pines on 37 acres two miles east of the airport. They plant 8000 new trees this year and expect growth of 1 foot annually. Seedlings arrive at two years old from Wisconsin and are sheared each June to shape the trees, now reaching 20 to 30 feet. The project, started in 1964, aims to offer trees for personal use and public sale with family involvement and careful pest protection.
