Livestock showed slight shrink in
Montana on account of late spring.
The calf crop is good. In Wyoming

supplies are about used up.
Late feed and dry conditions
caused slight decline in condition

Losses have been light. The calf

Sheep
Sheep show a smaller decline in
condition in North Dakota during
April than cattle, and are in fair
condition. Some lambing in small
flocks is reported. Spring lambing
does not become general in the state
before the 10th Of May according to
reports. Shearing usually begins
between June 1st and 10th. Lamb
prospects are good in Western South
Dakota. Lambs are held at 12c with
offers of IL 1-2c, but with little con-
tracing. Most Of the wool clip has
been contracted. In Montana lamb
ing is under way, with some loss
due to storms. Wool has been con-
tracted at 37c to Acc. Mixed lambs
arc held at 12c, wcthers at lie to
IL 1-2c. Shed lambing was very
successful in Wyoming with range
lamb;ng just starting. Shearing is
just beginning also.
Sheep are generally in good con-
dition throughout the range area,
but lack Of green feed has caused
some shrink in flesh. Range feed
has been short in Texas. parts OF
New Mexico, Arizona and Southern
California. This has checked
growth Of lambs. Shed Landing has
resulted in a very good lamb crop,
but short feed has held back de-
velopment. Ewes are in good shape.
With favorable weather and plenty
Of feed, the lamb crop prospects are
good. Much Of the wool has been
contracted except in Texas. Lamb
contracting continues at 10 1-2c to
IL SAC. A few growers are hold
ing for higher prices.

FORKS HAS BIG
BUILDING BOOM
Construction Work There Will
Total Approximately $780,.
600 This Year

Grand Forks, N. D., May 15.-tP
Building projects planned in
Grand Forks this year will total ap-
proximately $7,5OO,OOO as compared
to about $736,522 in 1927, according
to w. w. Blain, secretary of the
local commercial club.
"St. Mary's parish is building a
parochial school at cost of about
$4,000, and private residential con-
struction will be larger than in any
former year." Blain said. AT least
one apartment house is planned,
with two or three sorority and fra
ternity houses.
Expenditures for public build
ings are sure to total we'll over the
$5OO,O0O mark. Included in the pub
lie building projects is the new lib
eral arts building at the university,
estimated at $225,000, and bridge
across the Red River, estimated at
100000. There are also other
projects being considered by the city
council, but action in 1923 is not yet
assured.
Zone of the largest single build
ing programs in Grand Forks is be-
ing planned by the Great Northern
railroad, which is expected to in
volve about 100000. The program
consists of yard and roundhouse inn
provements, additions to machine
shops, water tanks and many mis-
ccllaneous items.
"Thc expansion program Of the
railroad has had a very good effect
on business conditions in Grand
Forks. There have been several
transfers of important business
property with some new firms COM
ing in. The Great Northern payroll
will be increased approximately
100000. The program is expected
to add about 500 persons to the
population of this CITY,"
Business conditions in general are
considered every fair" Blain said,
pointing out that the weather in
that locality has been favorable
for spring farm work, and that the
roads had been open practically ali
spring.

Below normal mean temperatures
in North Dakota during April held
back growth Of grass on ranges and
pastures, and made necessary to
continued heavy feeding of live
stock, according to the May LIST re-
port of Paul C. Newman, agricul-
tural statistician. Grass was just
beginning growth on May LIST and
with favorable moisture conditions,
will soon provide green feed for
livestock. Cool weather prevailed
throughout the entire range area
holding back development of range
feed and causing both cattle and
sheep to shrink slightly in flesh.
Ranges
Western North Dakota ranges re-
NAMED at a standstill during the
month of April. Grass was just be-
ginning to green on May LIST. Con-
dition is seven points below last
month. Soil moisture conditions are
good, making summer range pros
pect favorable. Cool weather pre-
vailed in Western South Dakota as
we'll, retarding growth Of grass.
Range feed was slow in starting in
Montana on account of cool April
weather, but soil moisture is plenti-
full, promising good summer range.
In Wyoming April was unusually
dry and cold causing range feed to
start very slowly. Reserve feed sup
plies are about used up.
For the II western range states
cool, backward weather has been
experienced throughout the entire
area during April. AS a result,
feed has been slow to develop, but
in most sections soil moisture is
plentiful. Parts Of New Mexico,
Idaho, Nevada. Arizona. and Cali
fornia report need Of rains. The
drought in Texas was broken during
the month.
Cattle
Cattle in North Dakota are in
need of succulent feeds in order to
prevent further shrink in flesh.
With the warm weather coming the
first part Of May, ranges and pas
lures will soon provide green feed.
Losses during the winter have been
less than usual. In Western South
Dakota the calf crop is reported
good. Some calves have been sold

Eccentric Wheel
to Be Feature of
July 4 Fireworks

Myriad designs and beautiful
color effects are created in an intri-
cate mechanical piece called a
"Criss Cross Eccentric Wheel
which will be a feature of the
Thearle- Duffield Fireworks display
at the Bismarck Fourth Of July cell
ebration.
Not only the oute- circles, but the
spokes on two huge wheels are
masses of color. The wheels are
placed one in front Of the other and
on an "off center" plan SO that as
the wheel arcs and spokes pass each
other they form fantastic designs.
The whole centers Of the wheels are
in colors of many hues and shapes.
The piece fills eight hundred square
feet when in action.
The big double wheel is but one
of the new mechanical devices which
will be seen in the display, in addi-
ton to the dozens of ground and
comedy effects, set pieces, rockets,
bombs, mines ard shells.

many cases, it was explained at the
registrars office, persons have
failed to give the necessary Informal
ton or have given inaccurate in
formation and this has held up the
issuance of title certificates since
it is necessary that each detail in
this work be completed correctly for
the protection Of the person to whom
the title is issued.
In many cases licenses have been
issued but the certificates Of title
have not yet been sent out. AS a
result the person receiving the
license tag has not yet received the
aluminium holder which the depart
ment furnishes for the display, in
the drivers compartment of each
