Cows Develop Sweet Tooth Farmers Feed Molasses, Straw Drouth Forced Farmers to Change Habits of Lifetime to Keep Stock Alive North Dakota livestock have de- ine @ tremendous sweet tooth for ] molasses, that viscous, sticky-sweet substance more generally associated ‘with cookies, flapjacks and rum. It’s all a result of the 1934 drouth which left North Dakota short on hay but long on wheat straw, low grade roughage which in years past was useful only as barn bedding, ghelter or as material for bonfires. Normally, North Dakota farmers ‘and stockmen are hay feeders. From June to September they cut, cure and store hay in mows or ricks. The straw pile threshed into the back- Asi 10 75 DAMS IN BACH COUNTY URGED yard was just a necessary nuisance. Necessity Forced Change ‘With the withering drouth of 1934 fame the realization that livestock feeding habits would have to be re- vised if farmers were to save cattle ‘and horses. With hay scarce and high priced but with plenty of wheat straw in the Red river valley, the federal emergency relief administra- tion stepped into the picture. ‘The FERA livestock feed depart- ent, under the direction of Clyde jarks, accumulated 125,000 tons of straw at 15 concentration points in the Red river valley. Arrangements were made for the importation of duty-free hay and straw from Mani- toba and Saskatchewan. Supple- menting the store of straw were ap- proximately 50,000 tons of hay. On March 1, the FERA, under orders from Washington, turned over {ts livestock feed supplies to the North Dakota rural rehabilitation corporation. M. E. Tindall, man- ager of the RRC livestock feed de- partment, was instructed to liqui- @ate the supplies on hand and to stop purchasing. Had to ‘Sell’ Idea Principal questions confronting the RRC was how to dispose of the straw to give farmers full advantage of the feed value and conserve the rapidly @windling hay supplies. It was ob- vious, Tindall says, that some un- ‘usual step had to be taken in order to “sell” the farmers on the idea of feeding straw. Prof. H. J. Gramlich of the Ne- braska Agricultural college, an auth- ority on livestock feeding and feed- img methods, advised Tindall that Molasses used in combination with straw made a palatable and highly nutritious livestock food and was eomparatively inexpensive. Tindall surveyed sources of supply. He discovered there were approxi- mately 500 tons of sugar beet mo- lasses available at the American Crystal Sugar company plant at East Grand Forks, Minn. The Valker- Christensen company of Minot de- clared it could obtain Hawalian cane sugar molasses quickly at North Pa- cific coast points and could barrel and deliver it to farmers at @ reason- able price. Launched Education Drive With these facts at hand, the RRC determined to launch an intensive educational and sales campaign on March 12. First deliveries were made in the Grand Forks and Minot areas. Directing the educational campaign was the extension division of the state agricultural college, working through county agricultural agents. An old principle of merchandising ‘was adopted, that of offering a bar- gain whereby each purchaser of one’ 50-gallon drum of molasses would be entitled to a discount of $1 @ ton on three tons of straw bought with the molasses. In less than 30 days more than’ 2,500,000 pounds of cane and beet Molasses were sold in North Dakota. ‘This was 215,000 gallons. Success of the experiment also was reflected in paeagaae increase of straw and straw sales. ‘The huge piles of straw which a North Dakota congressman described fs “higher than the new state cap- ftol” melted like snow before a ehinook wind. By April 15 it was @efinitely established that rather than having a surplus of straw and thay, there would be a deficiency be- fore the dry feeding period was over. So the drouth, coupled with timely salesmanship, has radically revised the feeding practices of 60 years with @ vast number of North Dakota farmers, Banner county in the consumption of molasses was LaMoure where more than 15,707 gallons were fed.

Dak., April 23, 1935, Editor, Tribune: I read with ‘much regret of the death of Mrs. Katherine Ritchey of Bismarck. Mrs. Ritchey was truly a remarkable woman. She possessed all of those rare and wonderful traits of the pioneers of the west. She was very widely and favorably known in Bismarck and Burleigh county, where she had lived so long. It was a real privilege to have known Mrs. Ritchey, and I know that many hundreds of people who knew her will feel a deep loss at her death. She knew a great deal about the early days of Bismarck and vicinity, and knew something good about every- body. She was an expert dressmaker and we always felt that it was a treat to have her at our home. She was a ‘wise, kindly woman of strong al beautiful character, and to her we might well apply the words of praise given to the good woman of the book of Proverbs, “the price of a virtuous ‘woman is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, and she will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. Strength and honor are her clothing, and she shall rejoice in time to She stretcheth out her hand to the poor, yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. Her children arise up, and call her blessed. Many daugh- it thou Twenty-nine states in this country lare now operating total of 157 birth control clinics. Stories in STAMPS By I. S.

RATTLESNAKES REQUIRE ABOUT FIVE SECONOS AND STRIKES Surveys Call for 140 Projects By William | to Be Constructed in 1935, THIS CURIOUS WORLD "itisen t McKinnon Says ‘With advent of spring and the re- sumption of North Dakota's water conservation program on a broader scale, A. D. McKinnon, director of COO dam projects, declares “final benefits of the present program will not be clearly evident until there are from 50 to 75 small dams in each county of the state.” Aims of the dam building program as outlined by McKinnon are four- fold—to keep the air humid, to raise the water table, to increase well wa- ter supplies, to furnish recreation TO COL ‘spots. Dams have been built by the COC in all but six of North Dakota's 53 counties during the last two years, McKinnon said. Surveys for 1935 dams have been completed in three of the remaining counties, and it is likely that all but Sioux county will have at least one or more OCC dams by this fall. In Sioux county's case, the fact that the land is locsted within an Indian reservation where Indian OCC enrollees are working keeps the regular contingent out, McKinnon explained. Seven COC camps have been a] proved for 6ccupancy by Washingt officials so far. commended camps sre ready for im- mediate occupancy. Surveys of 140 proposed dam sites already have met approval of CCC engineers.
