RANGES, LIVESTOCK CONTINUE UPTREND Condition of Cattle, Calves and Lambs Now Above Nor- mal in State Fargo, N. D., July 18—Condition of North Dakota ranges and livestock showed a marked improvement during June, according to Ben Kienholz, federal statistician. Improved ranges and livestock have been the result of continued favorable weather. Although June rainfall was a little less than normal, it was General over the state. Temperatures continued to average slightly less than normal which helped to retain the current supply of soil moisture. Sup- ply of feed on ranges and pastures is now much more than it has been for several years, and livestock has re- sponded to this abundance by putting on considerable weight during the last 60 days. Although soil moisture is now sufficient for good growth, fre- quent rains will be necessary to insure continued growth of range and pas- ture feed during late summer and fall. All Ranges Improved Condition of ranges improved in all areas and netted an average increase of 16 per cent for the state. At 88 per cent of normal on July 1, North Dakota ranges were 30 per cent better than they were a year ago, and are 5.5 per cent above the 10-year average condition for July 1. Ranges are now in better condition than they have been since July, 1932. In South Da- kota, Montana and Wyoming, ranges have also greatly improved, and for the 17 western states, ranges are now 88 per cent of normal as compared with 82 per cent in May, 66 per cent @ year ago, and the 10-year average of 852 per cent. North Dakota cattle and calves ad- vanced 13 per cent in condition’ dur- ing June. At 86 per cent of normal on July 1, the ccndition of cattle and calves compares with 68 per cent a year ago, and 85.6 per cent, the 10- year average for July 1. Condition of sheep and lambs also is much above that of May, not only in North. Dakota and surrounding states, but also for the entire western p grazing area. Prospects are very good for development of late lambs. Although the lamb crop was about average in North Dakota, it fell & little below average in several other states.

Speaking at the regular luncheon meeting of the service group, Black, @ resident of Grand eee and grad- uate of the College of Engineering, ‘University of North Dakota describ- ed the site of Little America as a continental ice mass surrounded by the sea. Depth of the ice varies on the continent from 200 feet inland, he said, A slight glacial movement may be noticed during the summer months, but the Bay of Whales—the point at which the two Byrd ships, “Bear of Oakland” and “Jacob Ruppert,” an- chored—was a more or less perman- ent indentation in the ice pack, he said. Travel on the mainland was carried on with caterpillar tractors and dog sled teams. Despite temperatures which dropped as low as 70 degrees below zero, the tractors covered 9,000 miles during the stay in the antarc- tic. Sled men were constantly on the move and did not suffer from the ex- treme cold as did the men driving the tractors, Black pointed out. Subsistence foods in the antarctic are seals and other sea life, a little moss being the only sign of vegeta- tion, he said, adding that the sup- plies the expedition had First woman destined to die on the gallows in California, Mrs. Nellie May Madison, above, has a single hope of life—clemency from Gov.

R. Waldron, plant breeder of the state agricultural college experiment station. Rust spores or “seeds” 1,500 miles dis- tant can produce a rust epidemic in this state, he says. “When a spore, which is very small, germinates on a leaf of wheat and starts‘a growth, there will result in 9 or 10 days a red area of rust on the leaf or stem of wheat. This spot may become % inch long or more, and contain a million or so spores. Each of these million spores, if it falls on @ wheat plant and grows, will pro- duce another rust spot in 10 days, each with a million spores. “These red spores are 80 ex- tremely small that they rise into the air with the slightest breath of wind and when in the air they may be carried hundreds of miles. Starting in Kansas the spores from there could easily land on wheat fields of South and North Dakota.” By taking “hops” north by air in this way it is possible for a rust epidemic as far south as Texas and Mexico to reach North Da- kota. Bismarck, N. D. July 18—(P)}— Suggestions for improving the flavor of cream were advanced Wednesday by Carl G. Petersen, state dairy com- missioner, who said reports show an average of 60 per cent of all cream marketed in North Dakota has a pro- nounced “weedy flavor.” “This is a very serious condition and is without a doubt the biggest percentage of weedy cream North Dakota has had for many years,” Pe- tersen said, pointing out “it is a very Schilling Oe iv, Toasted Cu Toasting!

Milk cows should be kept away from weedy pastures at least three jhours before milking, he said. Petersen also suggested that by giv- ing the cattle a variation of feed, they may quit eating weeds and loose their taste for them. | Looking to the future for prevention of recurrence in 1936, Petersen sug- gested two ways to overcome this sit- uation: One to cut the weeds before they have a chance to re-seed; the other to plow under as much as pos- sibie before it re-seeds, then re-seed THE WASHING.

Farm Troubles Fargo, N. D., July 18.—Inquiries on the grain aphid or green bug have come to J. A. Munro, entomologist at the North Dakota Agricultural col- lege. He reports that under favor- able weather conditions this plant pest can become sufficiently abund«; ant to cause complete loss of graitr crops, Whether or not it will cause serious loss this season is Lee eiticath largely on the weather. There is no practicable controt known for the grain aphid except in- sect enemies, according to Munroz, Sometimes it is possible to prevent widespread infestation of fields by. plowing under or burning the local< ized infested spots before the insects have a chance to migrate to larger areas, However, it is seldom that the small localized centers of infestatiors< are discovered in time to do effective work.
