Farm Market Survey
ATLANTA-Cotton prices
climbed to new highs during
the week ended Aug. 31, while
most other southeastern farm
commodity prices continued
their recent downward trends,
the Agricultural Marketing
Service of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture reports.
Cotton prices were 5 cents a
pound higher than a week
earlier and nearly 50 cents a
pound higher than a year
ago-or more than double that
of a year ago. Prices bid for
contract acreages continued to
strengthen.
Cattle prices continued to
tumble, reflecting consumer
resistance to high beef prices at
the retail level and build up of
market ready cattle. Feeder
prices have dropped $3 to $6 a
hundred pounds from the highs

| in early August, with calves
down as much as sls.
Hog prices also dropped for
the third straight week, and
were down about $lO a hun
dred pounds from their record
highs a few weeks ago.
Egg and hen prices con
tinued to slide downward, but
broiler prices remained steady.
Corn and soybean prices
dropped again, as much as 26
! cents for corn and 38 cents for
I soybeans.
On the other hand, flue
-cured tobacco trended upward
to record high levels at markets
in most areas.
POULTRY-The undertone
of the southeastern broiler- '
fryer market was generally '
about steady at basically un- i
changed price levels during the j
week ended Aug. 31. In very I
limited trading, prelimiary
F. 0.8. dock equivalent prices
ranged 51'/a to 53 cents per
pound on U.S. grade A, and
51 Vi to 53!4 cents per pound
on plant grade.
Demand was irregular but
generally no better than fair.
Live broiler supplies were
ample. Live weights ranged
desirable to often heavier.
The undertone of the hen
market was steadier on heavy
type following a downward
adjustment in live prices.
Heavy hens closed the week at
30 to 31 cents per pound
F. 0.8. farm. Demand was
generally good for adequate
live supplies.
The market structure was
steady on light type. Farm
prices were difficult to ascer
tain due to limited trading.
Buyers bid lower on light hens
with most bids in the 23 cents
per pound range F. 0.8. farm.
Offerings were about adequate
for the good buying interest.
EGGS -Southeastern whole
sale egg prices trended lower
during the week. Extra large
eggs ranged Tl'/z to 84 cents,
large 75'/2 to 80 cents, and
medium 68 to 71 cents. At the
close of the week’s trading, the
tone was steady at unchanged
values. Demand improved for
school and holiday needs. Less
surplus ungraded egg stocks
cleared to breaking plants com
pared to the previous week.
COTTON-A seller’s market
and stronger prices character
ized southern region cotton
markets for the week ended
Aug. 30. Buyers actively com
peted for the rather limited
offerings. Prices bid for con
tract acreage continued to
strengthen and hovered around
70.00 cents for 1973 crops and
around 60.00 cents for 1974
acreage. Recent contract terms
were reported to be more
| liberal.
Domestic mills were seeking
fill-in qualities for prompt ship
ment. Interest was best for the
medium white grades in staples
of 34 and 35. Rain and a
slower moving Texas Valley
harvest have put some domes
tic mills in the market since the
cotton they were planning to
obtain in this early harvest
locality is not yet available.
Foreign mill demand was
keen. A recently announced
cotton embargo by Pakistan
has become a factor in the
export market.
Prices for grade 41 staple 34
cotton in the 12 designated
spot markets averaged 78.65
i cents per pound on Aug. 30.
This was nearly 5 cents higher
than the 73.81 cents a week
earlier and more than double
the 30.88 cents a year ago.
GRAIN-Cash grain prices
in the Southeast continued the
downward trend during the
week ending Aug. 30. Trading
was very slow with buyers
looking ahead to approaching
new crop supplies. Soybean
trading was very light and old
crop offerings were practically
nil. Trading in wheat was slow
at slightly higher price levels.
Harvesting of new crop corn
started in North Carolina and
Virginia Opening bids for new
crop supplies at southeastern
Virginia points ranged $2 to
$2.28 and at Richmond $2.21
to $2.28.
Prices for old crop com
ranged 17 to 26 cents under a
week earlier. Alabama trucklot
prices were $2.6214 to $2.73 a
bushel. Georgia multi-car offer
ings went at $2.60 to $2.6014.
Memphis corn brought $2.6814
to $2.7414.
With trading restricted to
very limited supplies of old
crop soybeans, prices were 31
to 38 cents lower. Soybeans
brought $6.77 a bushel at
Richmond; $7 at Memphis;
$7.0814 at Norfolk; and $7.12
to $7.66 at Gulf ports. New
crop soybean bids ranged from
$6.30 in southeastern Virginia
to $6.67 at Memphis.
Trading in wheat slowed
during the week as producer
offerings dried up. Prices were
about 4 cents above a week
earlier. Memphis bid price
closed the period at $4.66% to
$4.76%.
FRUITS AND VEGE
TABLES-Apple shipments
from western North Carolina
increased during the week.
U. S. Fancy Red delicious
apples, tray packed, were un
changed at $lO a tray-pack
carton of 88 to 125 size.
Golden delicious brought $7 to
SB.
North Carolina shipments of
snap beans were moderate.
Trading was active with good
quality pole type selling at $8
to $8.50 a bushel and round
green type at $6 to $6.50.
Cabbage shipments were light
at $4.50 a 1% bushel crate.
Trading was fairly active for
squash, with good quality
acorn and butternut selling at
$4 a 1-1/9 bushel crate.
Demand was fairly good for
heavy supplies of tomatoes,
with prices some higher. Extra
large and large tomatoes of
good quality brought $3 and
medium $2.50. Cherry-type
tomatoes in 12 pint trays sold
at $3 to $3.50.
Louisiana sweet potatoes
sold at lower prices. U.S. No. 1
sweet potatoes brought $5.25
to $5.50 a 50-pound crate,
while No. 2’s brought $4.25 to
$4.50.
Avocado and lime ship
ments from south Florida were
moderate and expected to
show seasonal decline. Trading
was fairly active. Prices were
about unchanged on avocados,
but higher on limes. Avocados
in flats containing 8 to 14 sold
mostly at $5. Limes in
10-pound flats of 54 to 63 size
sold at $2.35 to $2.40.
CATTLE-Sharply lower
feeder cattle prices prevailed
again at southeastern markets
during the week ending Aug.
31 Feeder cattle and calf
marketing were curtailed
slightly as evidenced by the
49,000 head sold at 66 selected
markets compared to 58,400
the previous week.
Reduced numbers failed to
arrest the downturn in prices,
which has prevailed for the
past three weeks. Feeder steers
and heifers sold $2 to $4
lower, while calves were gen
erally off $3 to $5. Slaughter
cattle prices in the Midwest
likewise sold sharply lower,
closing the week $2 to $4
lower.
Consumer resistance to high
prices at the retail level, along
with a build-up of numbers and
tonnage of market-ready cattle,
were likely factors which influ
enced the downturn of prices
for slaughter cattle
The approaching Labor Day
holiday had little effect in the
week’s market situation since
many plants have been working
at a reduced capacity for some
time now.
In representative sales
Choice 200- to 300-pound
steer calves sold s7l to SB3;
300 to 400 pounds, $62 to

EVENING DIVISION
What the Future
Holds at WCTS
We all are aware that things are changing constantly. This is
good if there is a need for change as is the case with some things
concerning evening school at Walker County Technical School
(WCTS). No changes are ever made, however, without weighing
every possible complication or advantage.
The most drastic change that was implemented July 1 con
cerns the Business Education Department. Beginning, with the
summer quarter, business education classes began operating on
the quarter system, as does the rest of the school, instead of
semesters, as has been experienced in the past.
This change has several implications. First, the cost of most
business education courses will be lowered. As for an example,
typing will cost $5 a quarter instead of $7.50 a semester. It is
cheap education only in terms of cost to the student.
Another thing that will be affected is the length of each
course. The average length of each business education course will
be approximately 44 hours. The average length of the same
course under the semester system was 70 hours. However, they
are not sacrificing the quality of each course by shortening it.
In the courses where it is felt that there is not enough time to
accomplish the course objectives, the classes will be divided into
two sections. One of such classes is key punch, which will be
offered in the fall quarter. It has been divided into two parts, Key
Punch I and 11. In this particular case, we will have time to insure
that each student has acquired the necessary skills.
By changing to the quarter system the school will be better
able to serve more people and the broad needs of industry. This is
also to keep in step with the other Georgia vocational-technical
schools.
WCTS is also adding two courses to the business education
curriculum at night. These are income tax preparation and payroll
accounting. These are offered as a result of requests by the people
served by Walker Tech.
The income tax course will be offered in the fall quarter. It is
to begin Oct. 1 and end Dec. 19. It will meet on Monday and
Wednesday nights for two hours a night, for a total of 44 hours.
The course will cover the federal short and long forms, along with
the Georgia Income Tax form. The course objective is to enable
an individual to prepare tax statements for himself or others. Due
to the popularity of this course, those interested should apply for
admittance by Sept. 28. The class is limited to 25 people.
Another addition to the curriculum is payroll accounting. This
course is designed for the person who must fill out quarterly
reports and make out payrolls. This is an excellent course for the
person who owns his own business, or for the already busy
secretary who has suddenly found this as another of her many
duties. This course will be taught during the winter quarter.
However, Accounting I, or equivalent work experience in this
field, is a prerequisite for payroll accounting. Those interested
should take Accounting I during the fall quarter, if possible.
Walker Tech is constantly updating and upgrading to provide
the highest quality vocational and technical education possible.

‘Morality’
Not Good
Lt. Gov. Lester Maddox said
recently that America could
lay the blame for many of its
problems on the fact that too
many were adhering to a
“Watergate Morality,’’ instead
of seeking to follow God’s
morality.
Maddox made his comments
in an address to the morning
worship service of the Temple
Baptist Church in Baton
Rouge. La.
“Day by day,” he said, “we
are being encouraged to stay
on the sands of secularism and
to stay away from the higher
level of God’s Word with His
standard of living.
। “We are invited to take our
refuge in the tabernacle of
technology,” he said. “We are
told to find our shelter in
socialism. We are offered a
covert of communism and the
wings of welfarism for our
salvation and human
advancement.
“But all of these offers,”
Maddox continued, “remain in
the lowlands of man’s domain
and not in the uplands of
God.”
Maddox said a mistaken
allegiance on the part of too
many to rely on man's
solutions rather than those of
God was responsible for what
he termed “a Watergate
morality in America.” He said
the Watergate scandal was
really just a symptom of the
Watergate morality.
“Whether it is a ‘Watergate’
in the church, business, or any
other place,” he said, “we need
to put our trust in the Lord.
“If we had enough Christian
leaders who would direct our
country in the direction of
once again becoming One
Nation Under God.” the
Lieutenant Governor
concluded, “we would be able
to turn back the crime, drug
addiction. immorality,
obscenity, revolution,
lawlessness, political
malpractice and the lying,
stealing and dishonesty that are
rampant in our society.”
