Value of High Moisture Corn Depends on Season
The article notes that the value of high moisture corn varies with season. Early warm weather, around March 15, lowers moisture content and bushel weight from 31.5 percent in December to 16.8 percent by July 1, with ash rising and crude fat and protein falling. It took 144 pounds of actual feeding weight to replace 100 pounds of moist corn in calf rations in June, while 129 bushels of wet corn replaced dry ear corn in winter. warm weather also allowed molds to degrade nutrients.

No Excessive Beef Supplies Foreseen In Next Few Years
Iowa State College farm economist Francis A. Kutish says beef herds should avoid excess supplies in the near term. He expects a smaller 1958 calf crop and possible steering reductions, with a cattle upturn not until 1959 barring weather or dairy stock liquidation. Dairy, hogs, and sheep trends follow other patterns including rising sheep numbers on farms and steady hog prices until 1960. A separate naval note reports Boatswain’s Mate James W. McCall landing a 1,050 pound shark aboard USS L K.
