MAY INSTALL new
SERVICE IN COUNTY

That there may be a closer cor
relation between the activities OF
the three Federal agencies engaged
is proposed that an Agricultural
Drought Service be established In
every county. The principal duties
of this service will be:
To plan a balance between avail
able feed supplies and livestock
numbers. TO recommend the num-
Der of animals to be removed, and
the amount of feed required for the
remaining.
To arrange for pooling orders for
feed through local dealers where
possible The needs of those who
can finance their own purchases, OF
those financed by the Farm Credit
Administration, and Of those on re-
lief will receive equal attention. The
County Committee will cooperate
with established feed dealers in the
county and with the Federal Live
stock Feed Agency at Kansas City.
To cooperate with relief and cred
it agencies operating in the county,
and with officials of Production Con.
troll Associations. Until the present
time there has been no organized Ell
'orts to ascertain the feed and seed
needs, or where the necessary com
modities can be obtained, or the pre-
yailing prices.
1t is assumed that the county ag-
ent will be the Administrative Sec
rotary OF the County Agricultural
Drought Service Committee. He will
keep Its records, conduct correspond.
nee In the name of the committee,
advise the committee relative to Its
work but he will not have a vote or
take an active part in its decisions
regarding livestock purchase quotas,
feed allotments, or applications for
credit.
The County Agricultural Drought
Committee, consisting of three mem
bers, will be livestock producers In
the county. They will be recon-
mended by the County Director and
designated by the State Director.
They will not be paid for attend
ance at meetings, but will be paid a
per diem rate for days actually en-
gagged In field work as certified by
the county director.

LAST SHIPMENT IS
MADE FROM LOCAL
YARDS SATURDAY
Nearly 1000 Farmers Take
Part in Huge Reduction
Program Here

The Cattle Purchase Project OF
the AAA in Sheridan county came to
a close last Saturday evening when
the final shipment of cattle was load
ed at Plentywood.
1t was fortunate that those in
charge of the program rushed it
through before the first snowstorm
of the season hit this part of the
state. In some OF the adjacent
counties stockmen experienced some
difficulty in moving their stock
through the mud and snow to ship
ping points.
Approximately 1880 head were
purchased at a total appraised valua-
ton of SITS, 900. Nearly one thous-
and farmers participated in the re-
duction program which is probably
more individuals than in any other
county TO date On the other, hand
the average number Of head sold per
farmer is less than in other counties.
with the result that the administrat
i've costs have been greater per an.
imal than elsewhere. 1t requires the
same amount of clerical work to pre-
pare the necessary forms for handl-
ing the application of a farmer who
has only one animal to sell as 1t
does for a farmer with 500 head.
Each case requires from two to fiji
teen complete sets OF forms before
the payment check is finally turned
over to the producer. In some In
| stances five copies of each set Is re-
quired.
The reason so many different typ
| es of forms are necessary is due to
several district and separate govern
mental agencies participating IN the
| operation OF this gigantic cattle pur-
| chasing program; In addition the
numerous lienholders require var
ioss forms. One who is not famil-
lar with the details involved In
handling the sale OF one or more an
mals can not realize the magnitude
of the task confronting the County
Cattle Purchase office during the
brief time it has been operating.
1t appears from reports filed by
the appraisers, that sixty to sixty
five percent of the cattle on the
farms participating in the reduction
program were sold, leaving in most
instances a fair amount of breeding
stock ON hand TO make another
start.
While the reduction program has
been too severe in some cases, nev-
ertheless it has been one OF the best
opportunities ever available fol-
Farmers to dispose of Improbable,

Advises To Fatten
Turkeys Before Marketing

The Farm Credit Administration
has not made a decision on the rec
ommendation that a larger minimum
loan per bird be made available to
turkey producers desiring to pur
chase feed but the Production Credit
Corporation is permitted to loan a
minimum of $50 for the purchase OF
feed, according to Miss HI. E. Cush-
man, extension poultry specialist at
Montana State College.
Under present conditions it is de.
cidedly unwise to put any turkey
on the market which is not we'll
finished and it would be profitable
to borrow money to get feed" Miss
Cushman says. The $50 minimum
which Miss Cushman's information
states will be loaned, is sufficient to
feed about 70 turkeys and makes 1t
possible to buy the feed to make VI
a balanced ration. Two or more in.

INDIANS ARE GIVEN
PURE BRED CATTLE

Twenty-Five head of Sheridan
county purebred Hereford cattle,
consigned by Peder Feldt Of Coal
ridge and Taintor and Henderson of
Archer, have been shipped to the
Blackfoot Indian Agency in western
Montana.
These cattle were purchased by
the United States Indian Department
and will be distributed among the
Indians on the reservations In an
endeavor to improve the quality OF
cattle raised by them.
This project Is a commendable one
from the standpoint Of purebred cat
tie raisers, who have experienced
difficulty during the past three years
in finding an outlet for their surplus
breeding stock. While the prices
paid were not high they are much
higher than those paid by the En-
Urgency Cattle Purchase Project Of
the A. A. A. The prices range from
$35.O 90 for yearlings to $4,000 foi
mature animals. No cattle over sia
are purchased, and thus far nc
