Marketing Guides Lafayete — Strong soybean prices and steady corn prices are in prospect for May and June, according to Purdue university agricultural economists. Com prices are expected to approximate late April levels during the next two months with soybean prices likely to remain at or slightly above late April levels. Moderate seasonal strength in hog prices is seen for the next two months. The economists say there is likelihood of an earlier than usual summer price peak. By mid-year, they add. “we would appear to be entering the expansion phase of the hog marketing cycle.” ‘ Steady to strong fed cattle prices are likely in late spring and early summer. Strong milk prices should hold through the summer, averaging slightly above those of the summer of 1969. However, egg prices are expected to reach seasonal lows during May and June. Grade A large at wholesale probably will average near 33 cents a dozen, one to two cents below a year earlier. Turkey prices during the next two months probably will remain near mid-April levels of 40 cents a pound, wholesale ready-to-cook for 14-20 pound toms. Storage stocks April 1 were the smallest since 1960.

ETo My Many Friends: Here is my record: I have worked for tax relief. I worked for and supported successfully House bills No. 2037 and No. 2038. These two bills passed the house but were defeat* ed by the Senate. Had either of these two bills become law, they would have given Real Estate and Personal property taxes much needed relief. It is my intention to again give my full support to local tax relief bills at the next session, as their enactment will benefit everyone in our communities. I believe our communities should have a stronger voice in the management of their local and state affairs. Strengthen that power by voting for experience Tuesday, May Sth in the Primary. As long as I am your State Representative, and with the participation of all you good people, I shall work for the benefit of all our local communities.
