CATTLE, CALF
KILL is HIGH
Slaughter Records of Pack
ing Plants Show 1884 Ex-
ceeding All Others.
Drouth Causes Government
to Purchase Large Num-
Der of Cattle, Calves.

Reports from federally inspected
packing plants in the United States
indicate that total cattle and calf
slaughter Of the country in 1884 has
broken all previous records" says the
Weekly Livestock Market Bulletin, is
sued by the Central Cooperative As
sociation, farmer-owned livestock sell
ling agency at South st. Paul.
Total slaughter of cattle during the
first eleven months of 1884, is 12,-
O75,1O0 head, that figure already ex
ceeding the previous record of 1913
when the twelve months total was
11,829,000 head. Last year total
slaughter was only 7,934,506 head and
two years ago it was 7,05S,347 head
Annual slaughtering of cattle has ex-
ceeded the ten million head mark four
times only since records have been
kept.
Calf slaughter in the United States
during the first eleven months of 1884
is 6,S93,6S4 head, which figure en-
ceeds last years total by more than
two million head. The previous
twelve month calf slaughter record
was in 1925, when $4,000 calves
went to the shambles.
DrOuth Causes Government Buying.
Reasons for the marked increase in
bovine Strengthening are attributed
largely to the large number of cattle
and calves purchased by Uncle Sam
during the drouth this summer and
fall. Generally heavy marketing also
was induced by the scarcity of feed
and relatively high prices of feed.
The decrease in government pur-
chases of cattle during November,
however, was reflected in the Novem-
Der slaughter report at 1,232,365 head.
or the smallest monthly slaughter
since July.
November hog slaughter at 4,022,-
3,546,155 head slaughtered during Oc-
tober, and only 2,600,923 head during
September. However, Move m b +
slaughter this year was half million
head less than November 1888.
November sheep slaughter at 1865
November last year, but the eleven
month total at 16,003,242 shows an
increase of approximately 10000 head
over the entire 1888 slaughter. Be
cause of extremely abnormal condi-
lions existing in 1894, new high
slaughtering records have been made.
but the result may be new low rec
ords before another year passes.

IVA PROJECT
is EXPLAINED
Adult Education Glass I'm Pine City
Hears Main Features of Tennessee
Project by o. II. Dickson.

Speaking before the adult educa
ton class at Pine City Wednesday
evening, o. r. Dickson outlined the
main features of the IVA project be-
ing carried out by the Federal gov
eminent Mr.. Dickson drew some
sketches on the blackboard and COM
pared electric rates in the valley with
those charged by commercial COM
panies i'm other parts of the country.
The IVA is a S0,000,000.00 cOrpor
alton created by Uncle Sam to oper-
ate in the Tennessee valley, which is
some 700 miles in length and so miles
across. It's purpose is to develop and
conserve the resources of this region
and make use of the vast water power
that has not yet been harnessed. The
great Muscle Shoals water power,
with the nitrate plants made use of
by the government during the World
war will in peace time be used TO
produce fertilizer.
The government corporation, said
Mr.. Dickson, while developing the
power of the rivers will also he
charged with the duty of planning
for the proper use and conservation
of the resources of the valley, and
its people numbering at present some
six and a half millions. Social and
economic planning is to be carried
out. 1t is also charged with the duty
of making and selling electric power
at lower rates, and also to do that
efficiently so as to set an example
for the rest of the country.
Mr.. Dickson pointed out that there
were three large dams being built,
namely the Norris dam, the Wheeler
dam and the Wilson dam. Lakes will
be created and reservoirs to hold
back the water in times of heavy
rainfall so as to prevent floods in
the lower Mississippi region, and the
water thus held will be released
gradually in the generation of power.
Already some of the cities are get
ting the power. Tupelo in Northern
Mississippi, is one of the first towns
to make use of the cheap power and
the cost there for 400 XVIII per month
is $3.50 as compared to $12.S5 in
Washington, D. c., $13.44 in Chicago.
$3.50 in st. Louis, and $1,000 in At
lanta.

WILL PLOW
SNOW FROM ROADS

Following careful consideration
the board of county commissioners
has taken action on the winter
road situation and as a result tee
county and state aid roads will be
kept open to automobile traffic in
the future. The board has adver-
tised for bids on two snow plOwS
and Tuesday were viewing a dem
onstration of a certain type snow
pillow. A special meeting will be
called for December % at which
time the board will take action on
the purchase.
Wings have been installed on the
snow pillow now owned by the coun-
ty and this has been busy the past
several days in opening the roads.
Funds for the purpose will come
from the gasoline tax allotment
and therefore will not necessitate
an additional appropriation. How
ever, it will lessen the amount
usually used for summer mainten-
ance and construction.

Berry Code

After numerous attempts to get
the shippers of the community to
work together tremendously, the
new code has apparently accom-
plished that very thing if nothing
more ever becomes of it.
With blanket of uncertainty as
to the other fellows activities
hanging over the district, it was
utterly impossible to establish un-
form price for any commodity.
California berries are cleaning
up rapidly and the berry deals looks
much brighter than it did the first
of the week. With an orderly mar
keting program lined up our hopes
are the berry deal will be carried
through to a profitable ending.
