NeWs Notes From The
County Agents Office

The county agent attended the
cooperative feeder cattle sale in
Billings on the 18th. This sale
was conducted by the Pure Bred
Livestock association of thai place,
and the Extension Service. 1t was
their first attempt at this service of
marketing and the demand for such
sales is so great that another one
will be held in November.
Eastern buyers were present and
payed a good price for everything
they bought. Every class of range
livestock was represented at the
sale and sold readily.
The feature of the sale was the
grading demonstration given by ].
X. Wallace of the Bureau of Econ
omics, Washington, D. C. Mr.. Wal
lace graded most of the stock sold,
and the purchasers paid a premium
for the tops, bringing the average
price up from one to n and one
half cents per pound higher for the
entire sale.
These sales are becoming more
popular each res Wyoming has
had two very successful sales in
the southern part of the state this
yea and range stockmen are be-
ginning to see the advantage of
pure bred bulls and a higher class
of feeder steers. The feeder buyers
are anxious to buy this WAY and in
a few years the larger cattle sec
tions will market most of their
feeders direct to the farmer who
feeds them. Plans are under way
now for a series of grading dem
o%nstrations for range cattle next
fall in Park county.

A petition is being circulated
among the dairy men of the county
by this office to determine the num-
Der of farmers who would be will
ing to join a cow testing associa-
ton, if the number of cows in the
county would justify such an or
~ganization. If enough farmers are
interested in this work the cost
would be within reach of all. 1t is
hard to estimate the value of a
COW testing association in a section
like Park county where the industry
is just being developed. A good or
ganization of dairy men could do
wonders in a few years, and the
money invested would be returned
doubled many times. A luke warm
effort, however, would be worthless
and would slow up the development
and would tend to. discourage n
movement for dairy improvement.

ing material which is being pre-

S1.7O TAX RATE FOR 1929 seen
BASED ON D. K. D.
BUDGET

A SIS. 500 300 District budget for
the fiscal year ending June 3e. 1923,
as approved by the Bureau of the
Budget, will insure "a tax rate for
next year at least as low "a the
present rate of $l.7O on each 800
worth of property, and may posi-.
bly, allow rate even lower, Dis
triet officials declared today.
The budgH which the Commits
sloners submitted to the Budget
Bureau, totaling about $42 zoo, 900
was based on a tax rate of $1.70.
IT the figure approved by the
Budget Bureau, which Is 81 SOC, 900
less than this goes through with.
out material additions, it may
mean reduction in the tax rate
to s1.65 for next year.
The Washington Board of Trade
in recommending a budget of not
more than s4S, 100000 asked for a
tax rate not to exceed 81 SIS. The
Citizens Advisory Council recon.
mended tax rate between $l.70
and $3.50.
The $50, 500, 900 budget is about
81, 600 900 more than the figure
approved by the bureau last year
This addition will probably be taken
care of by higher assessment for
next year.
In discussing the tax rate situa-
ton today. Major Daniel J. Dono-
van, District auditor pointed Dot
that If the 39,50O,O00 budget goes
through. it will mean a break down
in the rapid annual increases which
have raised the Districts budget
from about $23.0O0,0O0 in 1923 TO
$39, 600, 900 in 1928.
