Everett E Peterson, Extension farm economist at the College of Agriculture, Nebraska, predicts strong feeder cattle demand and a favorable hog outlook through fall 1960. He notes fed cattle prices should hold, feed abundant at reasonable prices, and seasonal price declines milder than last year. Hog prices may dip seasonally but stay above 1959 levels for the rest of 1960.

Aphid Attacks Are Inevitable
Lincol n Nearly every kind of plant is likely to become infested with aphids. Roses peas chrysanthemums and spirea are especially susceptible to aphid attacks. These small insects suck plant juices and can cause important injury. Extension entomologist Robert J E Roselle notes some aphids inject saliva poisonous to the host plant. Most aphids are easily killed with malathion at 2 teaspoons per gallon water and must be sprayed directly. Other effective insecticides include lindane rotenone and pyrethrum.
