SOME wild-eyed, self-appointed
correspondent recently wrote the
St. Paul Dispatch from Dickinson
that the cattle losses in western
North Dakota would average full
~ 50 per cent, citing one extreme
case as proof thereof. Any per-
son of good judgment and who is
posted on stock interests knows
that the loss cannot exceed 2s
per cent and many of the best in
formed say that IS per cent will
cover it. Exaggerated reports in
Jure the country and are not such
