SHAFER SAYS STATE
IS NOT SUFFERING
Executive in Minneapolis De-
cIares North Dakota Is Not
Much Affected by Drought

Minneapolis, Aug. 23.-R-"North
Dakota, enjoying very good crop and
pasturage conditions, generally, is not
seriously concerned about the drouth,
in fact it has taken steps to aid its
less fortunate sister on the west, Mon
tana,' Governor George F. Shafer de-
clared in Minneapolis.
I'VE held a conference at Fargo
Friday" said the governor. at which
representatives Of North Dakota Agri-
cultural college, the Greater North
Dakota association and the railroads
serving the two states formulated a
plan to assist Montana in feeding its
livestock this winter.
1.-The Importance of this abundance
of pasturage in our state Is appreciated
when one considers how extensively
North Dakota has gone into the rails
ing of high grade dairy cattle.
1.-THE only sections of North Dakota
which appear to have suffered serious
crop damage are portions of southern
| Mcuntrail county and parts III Will
liams and Divide counties in the
northwestern part of the state.
There were good general rains In
June which appear to have supplied
| sufficient moisture to carry tie grain
and grasses through the dry spell
| which has followed. Conditions seemed
to be exceptionally good in the Red
River valley"
Governor Shafer said he was In
Minneapolis on several general bust
! ness matters but did not disclose then
nature. He called at the Offices OF
| the Northwest Grain association, re-
gional grain cooperative.
