CASH CROP OUTLOOK
Soybeans—The dramatic price rise in soybean prices
has caught almost everyone by surprise, and has resulted
largely from poor oilseed crops in Manchuria and Europe.
By next October, soybean stocks in the U,S, are expected
to be at their lowest level since 1956, While these develop-
ments are favourable, do not assume that current high
prices are likely to prevail for the 1961 crop. Prices should
be strong next fall but well below current levels,
Sugar Beets—The support price for Ontario growers
will be the sine as last year.
Corn—Prices have strengthened considerably in the

Ontario beef men
seek 10 -cent levy
The Ontario Beef Cattle Pro-
ducers Association Friday vot-
ed in favor of a promotional
program for beef in Ontario,
to be financed by a voluntary
fee of 10 cents per animal sold,
but took no definite stand on
the subject of FAME, the
packing firm launched by the
Ontario Hog Producers As-
sociation.
The 10 -cent levy, beef pro-
ducers hope, will give them
sufficient funds to advertise
their product and its advan-
tages. Originally the directors
had suggested a levy of 5
cents per head, which would
have given the organization
$40,000 annually, according to
their estimates.
