D., Aug. 13—(4)—Two ave- nues by means of which livestock own- ers of the northwest may be able to {retain their foundation cattle herds, sheep flocks and minimum require- iments of horses for farm work were the subjects for study Monday by rep- resentatives of government relief and {financing agencies, agricultural col- lege extension service workers, rail- jroad agricultural departments and livestock interests in conference at the North Dakota Agricultural college. Hope for retention of as many as possible of the necessary breeding and work animals is being pinned on the expected cooperation of farmers who were fortunate enough to have crops in saving every possible bit of straw and other feed, and for assistance from the federal government through its various relief and credit agencies in securing feed and providing water for the few animals to be kept. The session which opened Monday at the college heard reports from emergency relief drectors from several neighboring states, including South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Montana, on the situation in regard to livestock and feed. North Dakota's situation also was reported. Chairman of the gathering is Presi- dent J. H. Shepperd of the N. D. A. C., who is also director of the emer- gency livestock purchase program in the state. The meeting was called by Dr. Shepperd last week. Ask Economy of Roug! Pleas which have been fri re- cently by the college and other ag- ricultufal organizations for farmers who have crops to save all usable roughages were again voiced by speakers Monday. The attention of all farmers is to be called to the need for this cooperation in the effort now being extended to conserve many of the feeds normally wasted. To prevent North Dakota and states in the northwest from being struck a paralyzing blow to their livestock industry, a nucleus of the best bred animals must be retained, it was agreed, and members of the fonference are attempting to work out a plan whereby this can be ac- complished. In pointing out the heavy inroads into the state's cattle population caused by the drouth, A. J. Dexter, assistant director in charge of the North Dakota emergency livestock buying operations, said that esti- mates on the number of cattle to be sold had been advanced constantly from the time the program began when it was thought that 200,000 of the two million head on farms would be sold. Actual sales to the govern- ment, Dexter reported, are now close sinter t Praises U.S. Farmer | CHESTER C. DAVIS No longer will the American farmer Play Santa Claus to the rest of the nation, Chester C. Morris, AAA ad- ministrator, told farmers at A Cen- tury of Progress Monday.

Three solid train load. were bound for eastern slaughter pens, and fresh Georgian pastures far from native Prairie land. The original call when the shipment was organized was for 8,000 head but desperate farmers exceeded the quota in an effort to move the greater por- tion of the starving beasts from the country in the gigantic shipment. The last roundup started in Wil- liams county at sunup Saturday when single shipment in the history of the nation. For two days the. exhausted herds trickled into the Williston concentra- tion yards. During the night herders’ fires dotted the prairies as the gaunt, thirsty, starving cattle milled restless- iy. By night fall Sunday the stock pens were jammed. Veterinarians laboring in dust clouds under electric lights culled the herds. Stock that was too Poor to stand shipment was killed and the balance of the herds were placed in two divisions. Grazing stock was branded with a green bar on the ribs and designated southern pastures. Slaughter cattle carried the unform U. 8. brand. ‘The first train of 100 cars was load- ed out during the night. to 750,000 indications that more than @ million head may be sold. Water in a vast section of the northwest region is of even greater moment and the conference expects to request such assistance from the government as may be practical in meeting this problem. Relief directors and workers from heard Capitol Dedication Loading crews buried animals that had perished in their pens. The cattle were loaded from 20 chutes by 100 workers into more than 250 cattle cars. Norman Findahl, Medora stockman, and members of the state livestock committee in charge of the shipment said the Williston shipment was the most spectacular stock movement in history. It was absolutely necessary that the stock move at once. Animals appraised by the government in July would not move until mid December if emergency order was not given.

FOOD SUPPLY Orders Federal Purchase of Products Which Otherwise Might Be Wasted BANS POLITICS IN RELIEF, Administration to Guard Close- ly Against Possible Profiteering Washington, Aug. 13.—(#)—Presi- dent Roosevelt in conference on the drouth Monday ordered federal pur- chase of any foodstuffs which might otherwise go to waste and laid down an emphatic ultimatum against poli- tics in the relief campaign. The authorized Aubrey Williams, as- sistant federal relief administrator, and Secretary Wallace to draft a plan for government purchase of hay and fruits in small quantities which might not otherwise be harvested. ‘Williams emphasized this was pri- marily to afford relief for the small growers. He said there was no con- cern over a possible lack of sufficient food. Officials have explained all along food supplies would be adequate. The president and Williams were described as holding the opinion that a slight improvement has occurred in the drouth area in the last three days. ‘The president authorized Williams to dismiss immediately any federal re- Mef worker who is a candidate for office this year or who prefers to Participate actively in the political campaign. ‘Williams reported a “general diffi- culty” along this line in many states. 525 Million For Relief Alone Williams said he thought the $525,- 000,000 for drouth relief probably would be sufficient for relief needs alone. He and Secretary Wallace @ conference for late Monday to draft the food purchase program. ‘Wallace said after conferring with President Roosevelt that the admin- istration would meet the agricultural situation resulting from the drouth through the regular operations of the agriculture adjustment act and he was confident of protection for consumers. Describing the drouth as “the worst in this country” the secretary told re- porters “there is plenty of food to go around if we use common sense.” He emphasized that the calamity does not upset the production ad- justment program. Acreage control is to be considered but he said it was too early to decide on amounts for next year. He said an advance in prices as the result of diminishing supply was in- evitable but he gave assurance the ad- ministration was watching against profiteering and had adequate power to cope with any such activities. It was indicated the president would soon make a general statement of Policy on the drouth and agricultural situation. Mother Nature, ironically, seems to have paved the way for probable suc- cess of a sort at the world wheat con- ference opening in London Tuesday. Indications are that export restric- tions, to which Argentina, Australia, the United States and Canada are bound for another year, will be shel- ved in view of the drouth that has devastated crops in the northern hemisphere. Two months ago, prospects for agreement were dark. American of- ficials were predicting a world wheat “war” if any country broke the agree- ment. But now it seems likely that the United States will export next year far less than the 90,000,000 bushels allowed under her quota. A northern hemisphere crop of 11 per cent below normal is indicated.
