REPORTS SHOW
DECLINE IN

Northwest Ranges We're Good
But Drought Caused Some
Deterioration

Reports from stockmen in North
Dakota on Sept. show some decline
in condition of cattle and sheep
largely as result Of failure of
range grass to cure sufficiently in
August to permit hardening of grass
fat stock, according to Il report is
sued by the U. S. bureau Of agricul-
ural economics ut Grand Forks.
Ranges for this reason also show !,
condition decline although furnishing
for most part ample feed. Farm pas
lures on the other hand were report
ed improved as result of August
showers promoting good late
growth. Present condition of cattle in
the state averages 80 per cent Of a

STATE TAX LEVY SHOWS DROP:
INCREASE GENERAL FUND LEVY

According to statement given
out by the State Tax Department to-
day, after the adjournment of the
State Board of Equalization, the
1923 state general fund levy is de-
creased $7SO,49s as compared with
the year 1922. The state bond inter
est fund levies are increased $84,-
791, and the total levy for all state
purposes, including the soldiers
bonus and homebuilders' association
deficit tax fund levy, is decreased
$766,071, as compared with 1922. The
total levy for all state purposes in
1922 amounted to $4,762,26s. The
total levy for all state purposes in
1928 amounts to $3,996,l97.
The decrease in the state general
fund levy in the year 1923, is re-
suit of decreasd appropriations as
made by the 1923 legislative assem-
bly,, supplemented by vetos of Gov
ernor Nestos. The 1928 legislature
made material decrease in the
amounts appropriated for general
state purposes, and the governor We
toed $57O,465 of the amounts appro-
priated by the legislative assembly
This resulted in net decrease in
