ty Is, therefore, OF utmost import
ance and necessarily a great deal of
effort has been made toward this end.
Plant Alfalfa.
Farmers have been induced t. plant
grimm alfalfa, which is the most har.
dy and Growthy variety for this re.
gion. Considerable difficulty in the
past has been witnessed in the winter
killing of common alfalfa which diff,

tiers and freezing and thawing which
we encounter during the spring
months. Through investigation. it
was found that the soil in most parts
was considerably lacking in nitrogen.
This deficiency was quite noticeable
in the growth Of alfalfa. Through in.
oculatlon of the seed, this difficulty
is largely overcome and the most in,
telligent farmers are all inoculating
their alfalfa seed.
Another crop which was introduced
three years ago, namely, the mann
moth Russian sunflower, has proven
to DO OF very valuable silage crop for
this section. 1t mas been proven be.
yond all doubt hat sunflowers arc a
more paying crop than corn for sill
age In this part of the state, as they
yield a great deal more to the acre
and are practically rs good for feed
ing purposes.
Farmers and stockmen r being
urged to plant more of this crop. to
build silos SO as to make the best
out of the crop. Some are beginning
to realize the value and tho necessity
of n silo on their ranch, and II is only
n question of time until every up
to.date ranchmnn in the county has
n sllo or two on his place and is
harvesting n large sunflower CroD
each year as this is the cheapest feed
which can be grown in this county.
Poultry Neglected.
Although We have the finest mar.
ket in the state in tho City Of Cas-
per for poultry and eggs, this agri-
cultural activity has been overlooked
or neglected to n largo extent by n
great many of tho farmers. However
there has been a decided advance
in the raising of poultry in tho past
year and many are going into this
industry in n small way. having seen
the possibilities which present them
selves.

Sheep: The number Of sheep on

1850 900 two years ago. The average

breeding season during the fall of
1921 was generally ~unfavorable and
the spring losses further reduced the
numbers. Reports from sheepmen in

entire year averaged 30 per cent of

this time not one-half the milk con.
sumed in the City of Casper is pro-
duced locally, which is a drastic stu
alton for any city the size of Casper.
This project has advanced consider
ably during the past two years. there
being a number of carloads of fine
high grade cows having been pur.
chased from neighboring states and
brought into the county. The dairy
ment of this locality are growing
along with their herds. They are
studying the cost OF production, the
proper feeding OF cows for produc.

Goat Market.
Although 1t is a little more costly
to grow dairy feed here than It is in
most parts of the state, vet 1t can be
produced very economically when the
price which can be obtained for milk
is taken into consideration. Raw
milk is always in great demand in
Casper.
Through the cooperation Of the
United States department of agrlcui-
ture. the extension division of the
University of Wyoming, the Casper
Public schools and the womcn's de-
.partmental club OF Casper, an ex.
tensive milk campaign was carried on
in the town of Casper, in an effort
to EDUCATE the public on the food
value and health giving influence OF
milk and consequently to increase
consumption. This campaign proved
to be of great value and its influence

consumption OF milk In the city has
increased considerably and with it
the general health of the community
seems to be improved.

The necessity Of more and cheaper
feed to lower the cost of livestock pro-
ductlon, the urgent need OF more and
better dairying, the insufficient
amount of poultry raised for u Cas-

lines were determining factors for the
agricultural program which was car

The loss to livestock growers In this
section OF the country has always
been great owing to the severe win

short growing season for grass which
makes the winter range short. This
condition makes It necessary Tor

Produced Better Returns in 1922
Ten Million Worth of Beef Exported

The year 1922 for the live
stock industry of Wyoming
was a period of recovery from
the disasters of the preceding
two years, and especially the
preceding year with its forced
liquidation to meet u~n.renewable oblI:
cations. In the industry's rehabiIlta.
ton during 1922 the loan machinery
Of the War Finance corporation
played n very important part. not
only checking forced liquidation but
financing the earlier stages of recov-
cry. The rapid recovery made pos
sible the repayment of a large pro-
portion Of the loans at or before ma
turity and the end of the year finds
the live stock industry well back on
the road to prosperity.
. The livestock industry Of h state
output during 1929 products worth
$50, 35o,2S0, an increase OF APP
proximately 80 1.3 per cent over the
value OF the 1921 production although
the expectation of meat animals, the
period of forced liquidation having
virtually ended. vas less in 1922 than
in 1921. Analytical comparison OF
the meat animal exports of 1922 and
1924 would be misleading. in view of
the situation caused by the necessary
liquidation of the latter year. and.
therefore, will o be attempted.
In meat animal exports during 1922
cattle produced the greatest return.
but the sheep division of the indus.
try was the more important from u
financial viewpoint because tho NUT
ton exports combined with wool ex
