Sa = 4" 7 s ¢ FEBRUARY OPENING OF RANGE SAVED “LIVESTOCK CRISS Winter Feed Shortage Averted; Wool Situation Is Depressed by Drop in Prices The federal statisticians office in Grand Forks reports that the month of February. as a whole, was quite satisfactory for the stockman. Tho mild February weather opened the range in the western portion of the state. It remained open until the heavy snows which occurred the lat- ter part of the month. The opening of the range saved considerable feed ‘and created a spirit of optimism which has not prevailed among the stockmen since early winter. While the feed situation is far from |, the shortage will not be as serious as it was first though, ac- cording to re} received from the stockmen, ty-one and eight- tenths per cent of the reporters for February indicate that there is suf- ficient feed, while in January only 59.3 per cent of the reporters indi- cated sufficient feed in their locality to carry the stock through the win- ter. The death losses sre normal, which speaks well for the stockmen in carrying their stock through a long, herd winter on short rations. e wool price situation remains depressed. and quotations now are about equal to that of 1924. A drop of 65 per cent has occurred sinee that period. Some authorities be- lieve the present price is below the cost of production. It is estimated that the consumption of wool is about 250,000,000 pounds in this country and its production is 308,- 000,000 pounds or 2.09 pounds ver capita. The price of cattle is continuing on an even keel with no appreciable changes taking place. Ranges and Pastures North Dakota ranges show an im-| provement over the condition for February 1 which was undoubtedly caused by the warm weather re- moving the snow. During the latter half of the month a considerable amount of snow fell which again covered the range. The indicated condition is 67.3 as compared with 62.6 for January. Conditions it- proved in the entire range are with sufficient precipitation for vegeta- tion to grow. Cattle The mild weather which prevailed in North Dakota the greater part of February was a material help, as stockmen were able to supplement. their yard feeding with some graz- ing. The condition tigure is on the upward trend and indicates a con- dition of 78.6 as compared with 77.8 for January. Sheep There was no material change in sheep condition in North Dakota, which is reported to be quite satis- factory. ‘rhe condition figure re- mains at 81. The condition of the sheep continues to be satisfactory over the western states. Weeds and grass in the warmer sections have, ample moisture for good growth, making feed plentiful.
