TO STATES QUOTA

Shipment This Week

An added quota Of $4,000 cattle has
been granted to North Dakota over
the $4,000 regular weekly allotment
by M. T. Morgan, st. Paul. in charge
Of shipping cattle for the federal gov
eminent, it was announced Wednes-
day by M. E. Tindall, supervisor for
cattle shipments in the state.
Thirty -four hundred head will be
moved out OF Mclean county which
has been allowed the largest county
apportionment of the new quota. All
cattle must be cleared by Friday
night, Tndall pointed out.
Special grants above the regular
weekly quotas lead Tindall to believe
that the federal agencies at WASH
ington and Morgan have come to
realize the critical condition Of the
cattle situation in the state. Last
week in two special grants the state
shipped 81 900 head Of calves and cat
tie above their regular allotment.
Early frosts which stunted fall
growths Of hay in the northwest tier
Of counties last week made the feed
situation in those counties consider
ably more acute, Tindall stated, and
the largest quotas were assigned in
these areas.
Heaviest loadings Of the new grants
will be made in the 500 Line terri
tory, he said. Major quotas Of the
new grant include Mckenzie and Nor
ton with 20 cars each; Ward, IS cars;
Mountrail, 60: Grant and McHenry,
S. each; Logan, 30: Burleigh, Is: EN-
mons, 20 and Burke, Is.
