MARKING OF WYOMING
HIGHWAYS COMPLETED

The work of posting the state hi
ways with directional and warning
signs, begun in the late spring, is
now completed.
The signs used are standard and
similar in all cases to those used
throughout the United States, thus
another step in obliterating state
lines. and toward universal uniform
ity in highway control has been
taken. Highway route markers con-
sist of the white shield with the
state name and the United States
route through various states. as the
marking is uniform everywhere.
Warning signs are square or
round. all with yellow background
and black letters. Tests have shown
that yellow is the most conspicuous
and easily noticed color and in
many places it is ~supercedfng red
as a danger signel. On these yell
low markers there is indicated
whether there is a CURVE, narrow
bridge. winding road, railroad eros
sing or what not, at ample distance
to warn the motorist, and the signs
are SO placed that they are well
within vision for either day or
night travel.
Special care has been taken to
mark all road functions and inter-
sections. SO that no doubt as to the
correct route may be had. and in
conjunstion with the standard U. s..
markers. state markers giving des-
tinations and distances are also pro-
vided.

comparative per capita for mainten-
ance and operation of general de-
partments vas $16.47, and in 1917,

WYOMING RANGE AND
LIVESTOCK CONDITIONS

Cattle. sheep and the range con-
tinue in YER good condition, ac-
cording to the September range and
livestock report, issued by the
crops and livestock reporting ser
vice.
The condition of the range has
deteriorated four points to SO per
cent of normal since August first.
Grass is beginning to cure in east
ern counties, but recent rain has
started a second growth. In the
western section grass is very green
and. succulent comparing with a
June range. The prospects for win
ter ranges are very good. Only a
few sections r dry now, but feed
is plentiful. The hay crops gener-
ally are as large or larger than last
year. Some sections in the north
east and west are a little short,
but the %carryover from last year
will easily take are of local needs.
Some first cuttings of alfalfa have
been damaged some by rain, but
will make good feed. The noun
tain ranges have been good and
stock is being moved to the lower
ranges in good condition.
Cattle, especially cows and calves,
are in excellent condition. Ship
ments are getting under way, and
while a few operators will Gull
their herds closely, others are hold
ing as many IN the range as pos
sible. There is still a strong tend
ency to cut cattle numbers down
and restock with sheep. However,
a few are trying to secure stock
cattle.
Sheep have summered very well.
Ewes and lambs have put on con-
siderable weight while on the noun
tain ranges. Shipment has started
and a large number of feeders have
been contracted for, most of those
contracted going to the corn belt
and Idaho feeders. There is a
strong tendency to hold as many
W lambs as possible.

a hard conference schedule which

altho not going SO far as to predict
a conference championship, see
another winning Wyoming football
team in the making. Last year the
Cowboys finished in fifth place in

THE PRIMARY LAW

THE Primary Election law of
this state is weak and inefficient
and should be repealed and a better
law substituted. We urge the
next legislature to take proper ac-
ton"
This is the declaration of the Re-
publican party in Wyoming as ex-
pressed in it's platform adopted at
its pre-primary assembly at Casper,
June IL. 1926, and this is the
plank" upon which are centered
the barbed shafts of Democratic
~insincerety and disingenuous cum
ming. 1t is hoped to accomplish
by misquotation Inc misrepresenta-
ton what would be impossible thru
straightforward and honest opposi-
ton.
1t may be pertinent to suggest
to carping and u%nsincere critics of
this item in the Republican plat
form that there is a vast difference
between the primary LAW as it
stands on the Wyoming statute
books, and the primary. PRINCIPLE,
which is the recognition of the
TlSnt Ol lHt peOpic " uiCtdtc thc
nominees of their party for public
office.
The Republican party has de-
clared thai the present primary law
is weak and inefficient. No one
can honestly deny hat statement.
The Republican party wants new
legislation on the subject. which
x~:tI ~.1,o aff;o;ant1u inTn Of
feet the true principles behind the
primary idea.
The meaning and intent of the
declaration in question is unmis-
taxable and the expressed purpose
of the party in its promise to
bring about better primary condi-
tons is unassailable ron n fair
minded and unprejudiced stand
point. The Democratic politicians
who are crying SO loud for the
present primary and demanding its
retention are the very people who
have consistently ignored and dis
regarded its essential features. They
like 1t in its present form because
they seldom, If ever, use it, except
to attempt to control some Repub-
lican nomination.
Punctuation, or the lack of it,
can work wonders with the written
word. There is no period follow
ing the word efficient" just ahead
of the conjunction "and." although
the Democrats presume to stop
there and ignore the rest of the
sentence. The Republican party
objects to having the Democrats
edit it's platform and insists that
due and proper attention be paid
to the remainder of the sentence
land a better law substituted"
Since there is no argument on
the proposition that "the primary
law of this state is weak and in
efficient" it becomes necessary to
make it strong and efficient in or
der that the rights of the people
may be protected and preserved.
The outcome should be the pri-
mary law with the defects, incon-
sistencies, and opportunities for po-
litical chicanery Of the present law
eliminated.
All the Republican party asks of
its opponents is to have the COM
mon honesty and the common de-
cency to read and quote the plat
form as written and not as they
would like to have it read to suit
e their sinister purposes.
That's all there is to this Dem
ocratic hue and cry about the
Primary.

NOTES FROM THE
COUNTY AGENTS OFFICE


Park county sent a small ex-
hibit to the Midland Empire fair at
Billings last week. 1t was put up
with a joint exhibit from the Big
Horn basin, making an excellent
showing from this part of Wyom-
ing. Washable and Big Horn
ties had a large exhibit and cap
tured nearly all of the fruit pre-
miums.
Charles Bennett of Powell was in
charge of the Park county exhibit,
and gained some valuable expert
ence for our county fair next year.
Emily Cooper, Joan Horner and
Mrs. A. L. Pearson returned from
the state fair at Douglas Saturday
night. They represented this coun-
ty in All club work with a splendid
demonstration. The girls were
very enthusiastic about their ex-
p%erience and report a pleasant trip.
The wool and sheep program
PiaiiiiCd " tilS Wtth Is COIlluS at
a busy time but it is hoped that
the attendance will be large. We
are indebted to the university for
the service of the men they are
sending, and for the opportunity of
getting first class knowledge in
culling for wool production and
feeding sheep.
1t is generally conceded that
there should be a flock of sheep on
every farm, and nearly all Park
county farms are supporting from
3 to 500 head of breeding ewes.
1t is our plan to help improve the
quality of these sheep SO that the
returns will be greater.
One cannot afford to keep sheep
that do not pay their board. At
the same time it is hard to get a
start Of good ewes without capital.
we hope to demonstrate the
method of selecting ewes from the
farm flocks that will be the most
profitable. The men with three
bum lambs should be as much in
terested in this work as the men
with larger flocks. if he intends to
build UP his bunch.
Potato digging time is the time
to begin thinking about next years
seed. Seed selection now and pro-
perly stored will eliminate a lot of
worrying next spring.
There has been some talk of buy
ing a car load of certified seed for
the 1927 crop. This should be
done in the next month or SO, as
good seed is always sold at a pre-
MUM in the spring and also the
choice is so much better now.
The county agent is in touch
with seed growers now, and can
help a lot in directing this work.
The same is true of seed wheat.
oats and barley The fall is the
to buy seed if there is stor-
age facility.
