Farm Market Survey
LIVESTOCK
Prices on feeder cattle and
calves at most Southeast
markets bounced back during
the week ended Nov. 10 to
recover most the previous
week’s losses, USDA’s Agri
cultural Marketing Service
reports. The major factor influ
encing the recovery of prices
was the sharp reduction of
supplies over the area.
The 20 per cent reduced
volume was encouraged by
several factors; the national
election on Tuesday, wet rainy
days and a partial end of
seasonal movement. With im
proved grazing prospects from
recent moisture in the South
east, some competition re
sulted from local interests.
Contrary to the direction of
feeder cattle prices around the
Southeast, little encourage
ment was available from the
Midwest, where again prices on
live cattle and carlot beef were
sharply lower. Cattle slaughter
continued relatively high, even
with the decline in prices.
In the Southeast, compared
to one week earlier, feeder
steers and heifers sold strong to
$1 higher, except South
Carolina sales which were
mostly steady. Calves sold
generally $1 higher, with South
Carolina again the exception
and sales there mostly steady.
Slaughter cows sold strong to
$1 higher. Slaughter calves sold
strong to $1 higher, except in
Alabama and South Carolina,
where prices were generally
steady.

at southern regional markets,
USDA’s Agricultural Marketing

higher qualities.
Domestic mills continued to

contracts made earlier with
merchants. Most mills were
buying cotton in limited
volume at the present time.
Export business continued

Witnesses
Charging
Atrocities
Local Jehovah’s Witnesses
assembled with 2,101 of their
members in Breman, Ga., over
the weekend, and joined in a
resolution condemning the
persecution of their members
in Africa.
Assembly chairman Barton
Ensley read the resolution at
the climax of the circuit assem
bly Sunday afternoon in which
the Witnesses branded the
Republic of Malawi as com
mitting atrocities against
Jehovah’s Witnesses in that
country.
According to chief spokes
man W. G. Condilis, more than
18,500 native Witnesses have
fled the country of Malawi re
cently to become refugees in
Mozambique and Zambia.
Condilis, a traveling representa
tive of the international Watch
tower Society, from Brooklyn,
N. Y., said that wholesale beat
ing, torture, plunder, rape, and
murder are being committed
with government backing in
Malawi. “They are bent on
exterminating Jehovah’s Wit
nesses in Malawi simply be
cause these Christians refuse to
join in national politics,"
Condilis said.
The Witnesses assembled in
Breman High School audi
torium joined in a determined
“Aye” to the resolution to be
sent to Malawi president Dr. H.
Kamuzu Banda. The resolution
read in part: “We publically
deplore the atrocities that are
being committed against
Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Re
public of Malawi solely because
as conscientious Christians and
for scriptural reasons, they will
not become a part of this
world and join the Malawi Con
gress Party or any political
organization."
Ensley introduced the reso
lution immediately following
the address by Condilis on the
question, “Is This Life All
There Is”?
“Those living today face the
prospect of an endless life,
escaping the possibility of
having to die,” James E.
Tucker, heading the local dele
gation, said. “God’s promise to
restore life in paradise is near
at hand.”
