Closing Date for Accepting
Cattle Shipments is Near

generally delivered in person, al.
though for some o< the final ship
ments the permits may be mailed
several days in advance OF shipping
date.
District Agent, Carl II. Peterson,
urges that everyone who expects to
make still further reduction, list
their cattle at once In order to clear
the papers DOR
Mr. Peterson, when questioned
relative to the number OF cattle
farmers can or should retain, states
that 1t depends entirely ON how much
feed in the form a roughage they
have ON hand now. 1t is obvious
that no farmer can afford to buy hay
for all winters feeding even though
that farmer has the ready cash with
which to purchase the needed hay.
The prubable future price OF cattle
does not warrant anyone to feed q
cow two or three tons Ct $500 hay,
but where has an ample supply
q grain and Russian thistle hay one
can afford to buy concentrates In the
form OF cotton cake and some grain
Therefore everyone il urged to cut
down the herd to the number that
can be safely carried through q pos
sible hard winter.

SOME FAVOR BOND
ISSUE TO PROVIDE
FUNDS FROM PWA
Herald Invites Comments
From Taxpayers Present
ing Arguments

With information that the coun-
TVS application for a PWA project
on construction OF a new court house
under a leasing plan will probably
be rejected. the question of erecting
a new building through a bond issue
is being opened up for discussion.
G. r. Shetterly, an attorney for the
Public Works Administration, has adj
vised that the financial condition OF
the county would permit a bond is
sue which would probably be ap-
proved and purchased through PWA.
Those who favor a bond issue for
constructing a new court house
stress the point that. as a PWA pro-
ject, so per cent OF the total cost of
the building would be refunded to the
county For example, should a
building be constructed at a total
cost OF 100000, the amount which
The taxpayers of Sheridan county
would be called upon to repay would
be only $4,000.
1t Is also contended that with the
present price of materials and labor,
much would be saved on the con.
struction cost OF the new building.
The supporters OF the plan contend
that it is a we'll known fact that
within a very few years something
will have to be done to provide ade-
qnate quarters for housing the coun-
tvs offices and records. More than
$4,000. they say. has already been
paid out in rents. to say nothing of
continual rem0deling expense on a
much dilapidated structure. 1t is
commended that the annual rental
would practically take care of the In
terest on the new bonds, and the
amount assessed to each individual
taxpayer each year would be so small
over a period OF 40 years Tin which
time they would be retired) that
there would be few who would OBJ
ject to the extra load
1t has also been pointed out that
the number OF laborers, carpenters,
painters. and stone masons which
would be employed would be of sp.,-
cial benefit towards relieving the
unemployment situation in the coun-
ty.
A building to be constructed with
practical adaptation as the chief OBJ
jectiye rather than ornamentation,
would be urged. thereby holding the
cost down to the very minimum.
Opposing the plan are those tax
payers who strongly contend that
this is no time to vote a new bond
issue on the county. no matter how
great the need.
Some or the more conservative say
that the present building will pro-
vide quarters for a long time to come.
and at a reasonable cost. Even
though the may be cramped and
the building nothing more than a
mere shell, they say, it Is no time
to expand and place upon the al
ready overburdened taxpayers any
unnecessary load.
The Herald believes this question
should have fair consideration. Ar
guments from both sides should be
presented to the taxpayers OF the
county for them to weigh carefully
without bias. Then, il and when the
question should be presented to the

Butler Warns Stockmen
To Cut Here I

DR.. w. J. Butler, state relief admin.
~istrator, today strongly warned Mon
tana stockmen against the advisable
ity OF carrying any more cattle or
sheep through the winter months
than they have positive feed for.
1t is our advise that stockmen
carefully estimate available feed, and
cut their herds in proportion now, .
the Administrator said. TOO often
the tendency in w~intering cattle and
sheep is to overestimate the number
that can be carried through on a re
stricted supply OF feed"
There is no use being optimistic,
DIR. Butler asserted, Montana stock.
men will face the most severe con.
ditions in years.
The State Relief Administrator,
who gained years of experience In
stockmen's problems while serving
as State Veterinarian, said that his
warning was prompted by reliable
reports on the shortage of hay. poor
est winter pastures In years, and the
subsequent high feed prices that
seem eminent this winter.
At the same time, he pointed out,
prevailing low prices caused by a
glutted market this summer have had
the tendency OF causing many stock
mel to hold over as much stock as
possible In hope Of higher prices.
1T is far better to cut herds inten-
tionally now, In proportion to the
available feed than to lose stock
during the winter months from star
vation and freezing" he emphasized.

COURT HOUSE BUILDING AGAIN DISCUSSED
FERA Approves 20-mle Coalridge Road Project
Feed Loans For
Turkeys Available

Emergency feed loans for the pur-
chase OF feed for poultry including
turkeys has been authorized by the
Farm Credit Administration. The
authority for such loans came from
George Susens, acting director OF
the emergency crop and feed loan
section OF the administration.
Farmers raising turkeys who are
eligible for these loans may call at
the Sheridan county relief office at
PlentywOod and make application.
Although a shortage Of poultry feed
Is apparent at most distributing
points In the county at present,
ample feed will be shipped In to take
care Of farmers needs.
Where the applicants needs are
below SIS the Emergency Relief Ad-
m~inistration under their regulations
will provide funds. Where the
needs are SIS and above, funds will
be supplied through the Farm Credit
Administration.
Allowance for poultry has been set
at S cents per head per month. =
Sheridan county farmers will ben
eft from the move. AT a recent meet
ing OF the Sheridan county Turkey
Growers Association the shortage OF
feed and funds for which to purchase
feed was an emergency placed be.
fore the meeting. 1t Is believed that
more turkeys are being raised on
farms this year than In previous
years. The loans will aid growers to
carry birds over to the holiday mar
kets.

Seek Cash Relief
Petitions were presented to the To-
cal relief board this week signed by
many taxpayers Of the county urging
that food and clothing orders be re

istrator X Il. Burleigh expressed
the opinion that there was little hope
for any change In the present plan
The objection, he stated, not only on
the part OF administrative officers
but from many heads OF families as
well, WAS that with cash relief, there
would be too much temptation for
men to use the money for some 9th
er purpose rather than the necessit-
les OF their families.

STRICTER AUTO
LAW URGED
Motor Club to Ask Next
Legislature for New
Theft Statute.

The Hoosier Motor Club, in an at
tempt to stop the theft and stripping
Of automobiles, will propose at the
next session of the general assembly
law requiring all dealers Of used
automobile parts to keep a record
for police inspection, according to
Todd Stoops, secretary-manager of
the club.
The record" Mr.. Stops said,
will show the date of purchase, the
name of the part, the name and
address of the one from whom the
part or parts we're purchased, and
the serial number. if any. 1t will be
unlawful to buy or sell parts hav-
ing serial numbers that are mu-
tilated or defaced to such an extent
as to render the number illegible. y
Officials Of the club feel that a
law compelling dealers of used auto
mobile parts to keep a record open
for police inspection will relieve, to
a great extent, the stripping of auto
mobiles and that every motorist will
be in favor of such a law" Stops
