Changes in the federal grade standards for steer, heifer and cow carcasses went into effect yesterday. Under the new standards, the present prime and choice grades of beef will be combined under a single grade, presente known as prime.
The chose grade will be known as good, and a new good grade will consist of beef from the higher quality cattle now graded commercial. These changes are being made in an effort to make the grades more closely identify different kinds of beef produced and preferred by the housewife, says Roy Snyder, meats specialist for Texas College. Snyder points out that the higher quality young beef in present commercial grade is popular with many housewives. Its identification as a separate grade will be beneficial to both the producers and consumers. He says that less than half of 1 per cent of the total U.
S. beef production qualifies for present prime grade, but with the combining of the prime and choice grades, the new grade will become an important factor in meat grading. Snyder says that these changes in beef grade names should have no effect on price. Beef prices are determined by the demand of cer- Domestic Flying Ends Biggest Year WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.
(P -The Civil Aeronautics Administration said Friday civil flying played its biggest role in the nation's economy during 1950 and is ready to make an equal contribution to national defense in 1951. Donald W. Nyrop, CAA administrator, summed up the year and the outlook in a year end statement. He estimated that 18,828,000 paying passengers rode the nation's scheduled airlines this year, an increase of 13 per cent over 1949. The lines flew 460.453.000 miles with only four accidents.
Three accidents on domestic airlines caused 96 passenger deaths, an increase of three over last year, but the rate of passenger fatalities for each 100 million passengermiles dropped one tenth of a point to 1.2. This equaled the best mark in history. tain grades. Grades are a uniform guide for use in trading in meats. announced changes will afteThese prime, choice, good and commercial carcass beef grades.
The standards are utility, cutter and canner grades and will remain unchanged. Jimmy Mills of Del Rio, director of the National Lamb Feeders Association, says the general impression is that price ceilings definitely are being figured out for fat lambs. He recently was in Washington to consult with officials there. However, even if ceiling price of dressed lambs is set at prices prevailing last June, the producers will hardly be hurt, according to the Del Rioan. In good and choice spring lamb carcasses in New mid York brought $58 to $61, with those weighing over 50 pounds at around $55 per ewt.
Fed lamb carcasses weighing 35 to 45 pounds are now bringing to $55, with 55 to 65- pound weights $46 to $50. Russell Payne of Fort Stockton has sold clipped lambs, weighing 87 pounds, off wheat at Hereford to Noel Cover of Cozard, for cents per pound. W. T. Adkins Dies at Crews BALLINGER, Dec.
