For North Da- Turn for Better Noted Here in 1935) North Dakota Looks Forward to More Improved Conditions During Coming Year (By the Associated Press) North Dakota residents prepared to usher out the old year in joyous demonstration Tuesday night and, for the first time in several seasons, looked forward to the coming year with more confidence in improved conditions. That such confidence is not un- warranted was borne out by optimistic Predictions Tuesday by agricultural,! religious, political, business and edu- cational leaders of the state. The outgoing year was marked by '& definite improvement in agricultural and general business conditions al- though possibilities of a bumper wheat crop were ruined by the rust scourge which swept the state when condi-) tions were brightest early last sum-j mer. Relief Conditions Better Unemployment and relief conditions also show improvement, federal and state officials said, with an estimated 35,000 on direct and work relief in the state Tuesday, compared with a| high peak of 55,000 families taken care of by federal and county agen- cies last spring. A sufficient supply of feed for live- stock has aided the agricultural sit- uation this winter, relief officals said, as compared with a year ago when drouth caused lack of feed, causing destruction of livestock and necessitating supplying of livestock eed to farmers, in addition to human relief. Economic conditions will swing close to normalcy in North Dakota dur- jing 1936 if weather is favorable for crops, Gov. Walter Welford predicted kota: Mostly clou- dy tonight and i ‘Wednesday; some- i what warmer to- ae or South Da- kota: Mostly clou- ¥ | dy tonight and ‘Wednesday; some- j what warmer ex- fe | treme east por- tion tonight.

The economic situation in North Dakota showed consider- able improvement during the last year, as attested by various indices. The year ends with sufficient feed for livestock and generally better em- ployment than at the end of 1934. We have every reason to believe that 1936 will witness a greater decrease in the relief rolls and a sizeable increase in employment, a wider liquidation of indebtedness and much better busi- ness conditions, In the meantime, however, the state will see to it that every person who requires relief gets it; we will see that no one goes hungry, or is without proper clothing and shelter.
