BETTER THAN IN 1929 Early September Rains Put) Grass and Cattle in Good Condition for Winter WATER SUPPLY DOUBTFUL Surface All Right, but Under- ground Source Needs Rains; Feed Sufficient The federal agricultural statisti- tian at Grand Forks, in his October range and livestock report, states that the condition of pastures, cattle and sheep improved during the past month. Ranges showed a slight de- cline. While weather conditions have not been as favorable as they might have been, the rains of early September caused considerable grass growth with a corresponding increase in condition of cattle and sheep. Temperatures have been nearly nor- mal for the month, while precipita- tion was about .9 inch below the nor- mal for September. Livestock growers continue to re- port that marketings of animals of breeding age for both cattle and sheep will be below those of 1929. From indications, it appears that about 75 per cent of the ewe lambs, 63 per cent of the yearling lambs and 66 per cent of the old ewes will be marketed. Thirty-two per cent of the market and 76 per cent of the old cows. Comments indicate that the selling will be as short as finances and feed will permit as the tendency is to hold for stronger markets. The local demand for stock is not brisk, as 70 per cent of the reports indicate that the demand is poor, 22 per cent state that the demand is fair and the bal- ance think it is good. The stock water supply is adequate for the present, but the ground water supply is quite limited and unless heavy rainfall comes before -the ground becomes frozen there is some danger of » water shortage during the winter months, reporters state. Feed supplies are looking better than a month ago as 80 per cent of the re- porters indicate that there will be sufficient ora surplus ox feed in their community, Ranges and Pastures In North Dakota the fall and win- ter prospects for ranges and pastures are better than a year ago as 80 per cent of the reports indicate that the ranges will be from fair to good and the balance think they will be poor. In South Dakota and Wyoming the samg¢ condition holds true, while in Montanaithe -range is sljort,, but ts improving, due to very benefick rains. In the balance of the range states, the conditions have also im- proved with parts of Texas and Okla- homa reported as being short and in poor condition. ‘The condition as reported for North Dakota is 73, 75 a month ago,:75 a year ago and 83.4 for the five-year period. For the west- ern states the condition is 82 as com- pared with 81 a month ago, 84 a year ago and 87.5 for the five-year average. Cattle and Calves Cattle in North Dakota improved three points in condition over a month ago which may be du- to the increase in area over which the stock has been permitted to range, as the fields have afforded considerable good pasture after the removal of the crops. In spite of the drought, the cattle are reported as being in good flesh, not only in North Dakota, but also in South Dakota, Wyoming and Mon- tana. In the balance of the western states the cattle are in good condi- tion with a few thin ones in Okla- homa, Texas and New Mexico. Ship- ments are being delayed, due to low prices, wherever feed permits. The condition of the cattle in North Da- kota for October is 85 as compared with 82 a month ago, 85 a year ago and 89.2 for the five-year average. Sheep and Lambs The condition of sheep in North Dakota went up during the month due to better feed conditions. In Montana the condition figure went up two points, while Wyoming held even and South Dakota dropped a point. The condition of sheep is good in all the western states with the ex- ception of. Texas where it is 74 as against 84 a year ago and 896 for a five-year average. Very, few lambs have been sold as the feeders in Colo- rado and Nebraska are holding back. A slight demand is shown for sheep to be moved direct from the range to he feed lot. The condition of sheep in North Dakota is 83 as with 82 a month ago, 88 a year ago, and 90.0 for the five-year average. This compares with the condition of sheep in the 17 western states of 88 for October, 88 for September, 90.0 a year ago and 93.6 for the five-year iod. peri Fertilizer Tests Planned for State To enable North Dakota farmers to get first-hand information the effects of fertilizers, tillage practices, crop rotations and weed control, ex- tension service and experiment sta- tion workers of the Agricultural col- lege have planned a program of field fertilizer demonstrations ea include coperators in 10 to 15 counties. County extension agents with the aid of college specialists will select ‘and distribute the demonstrations over various soil classes and types on farms. where there is assurance of three to five years of cooperation. Crops which will be grown on the demonstration fields include wheat. corn, alfalfa, sweet clover and pota- toes. According to those in charge of the project, the demonstrations will be planned to illustrate the Soil classes and types which will respond to fer- tilizers, the proper fertilizer to use,. the correct method to apply fertilizer and manage fields, and the crops to which fertilizers shold be applied. Responsibility for the work in ear! county will be assumed by the coun- ty extension agent. i st LJ | AIR VIEW OF FA A fallen monster of the air, the twisted skeleton of the British dirigible R-101, is strikingly shown here as it lay sprawled over woodlands and fields after its crash near Beauvais, France. a vivid impression of the utter ruin of the giant airship after it had struck rising ground during a storm, ex- ploded and burned Forty-eight persons perished.

The Califor- nia winter tournaments post a total of $61,000 in prizes. Last year the tournament bureau, with headquarters in Chicago, asked Professional golfers to contribute 10 per cent of their winnings to the up- keep of the bureau. This year, with Robert Harlow in charge of the bu- reau, the decision was made to re- quest tournament promoters to give 10 per cent of the posted prizes be- cause certain winning golfers had failed to donate. Harlow, in presenting his request to Promoters, said the money was to be used to assist the financing of tour- naments in other sections to fill out the open tournament schedule. The Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce, through Cliff Rawson, secretary-manager, said it was not agreeably after spending $3,000 an- nually to advertise its tournament ere Posting the prizes, to contribute 1,000 to build up a string of money tournaments in other sections.

H. Hopper, agricultural chemist, and L. L. Nes- bitt, assistant agricultural chemist, North Dakota Agricultural college, in Experiment Station Bulletin 236, “The Chemical Composition of Some North Dakota Pasture and Hay Grasses.” The variations are due to a number of factors, they point out, | such as the species, stage of matur- | ity, seasonal variations, fertility of the soil, elevation, and moisture con- tent. Bulletin 236 contains 38 pages of valuable material on the subject, and it is illustrated with pictures, charts and graphs.
