in controlling gophers.
Good Livestock Year
The year was no less satisfactory
for livestock operators. 1t began a
little rugged, with weather that was
compared by some to the winter of
1919, but feed supplies were ade-
quate and local markets stood by to
absorb all offerings at strong prices.
The year was marked by heavy
sales at high prices. Records showed
that nearly SOC, 900 head of cattle had
been marketed by the end of Octo-
Der. The growth of local markets
was shown by the fact that of this
100000 all but $4,000 head were sold
in the state. AS the year closed,
prices were still moving up, and a
new record of $40 a hundred pounds
was established at Omaha and Chi
cago.
So general was the trend of oper-
ators to take advantage of mount
ing prices that fear was expressed
in some quarters that the move
ment amounted to a serious liquida-
ton of breeding stock. Other OBJ
servers were inclined to see only a
healthy and timely culling of herds
to a sound balance with feed and
range.
Improved Stock
That there was a strong move to
improve the quality of herds was
shown in Ne popularity of the
%purebred sales. Quality breeding
stock found a strong demand
throughout the season and a new
sale average record for the state was
set at the Northeastern Montana
Hereford association sale at Malta
when the 33 bulls offered averaged
$704.
A new United States record price
for wool was established when the
clip of the Montana agricultural ex.
pertinent station sold for 1859 cent.
a pound.
Montana stockmen shared tn,
anxiety of others in the nation a
the outbreak of foot-and-mouth dis
ease in Mexico. The disease still
presents one of the most seriou
threats to the industry, as tn
slaughter control program in Mexic
was abandoned for one of vaccina
ton and quarantine, a metho
which many authorities consider c
questionable effectiveness.

Vast Sheep Ranges Found
( In Many Parts OF World

/ Sheep can be raised on land too
poor for farming They can be
raised on land too dry for other uses.
Sheep can feed on grass too short
even for cattle. The worlds great
wool-growing areas are on vast
ranges, as in Australia.
! Most of the worlds great sheep
ranges are in the temperate zones.
Nearly three-fifths of the worlds
wool comes from the temperate
zone of the Southern hemisphere.
Australia. Argentina, New Zealand,
South Africa and Uruguay are the
big wooegrowers.
In the Northern hemisphere, the
United States, Great Britain,
France, Germany and Canada are
the leaders. OF these countries, only
the United States grows enough
wool to rank with the Southern hem
fsphere nations.
/ Australia alone produces about
ione-fourth of the worlds wool. 1t
comes mostly from a belt of grassy
plains about three hundred miles
wide. This belt is in the eastern
half of the country between the
coastal mountains and the Dead
Heart, or desert region. to the west.

Safety Record
Still High

Nebraska has scored again
on the Safety-Side of the ledg-
er, reports the Nebraska State
Safety Council. Although the
Council predicted three and
possibly four traffic deaths ov-
er the long Labor-Day holi-
day, anly one such death has
SO far been reported.
Nebraska's only holiday ia
tality was that of Mrs. Lester
Hollenback who was killed on
September 6 in Shelton when
the auto she was driving was
struck by fast train.
Nebraska drivers have every
right to be proud of themselves
for their record, the Council
said, for the nation as a whole
exceeded estimates set up by
the National Safety Council.
Much credit is due to the
many agencies. both public an
private, who made possible the
successful promotion Of the
Labor-day traffic safety cam
paign," Dwight Havens, pres
ident of the State Safety Coun
Gil, said.

New Peg-Top' Beet

Interest of agricultural engineers

in a new sugar beet variety be-
cause it holds promise of an easy

beet harvest The ''peg-top" shape
of the root makes for easier lifting
md less tail breakage. The new
variety is the fourth generation
selection from a cross between a

type, held on to the shape charac-

''the most reliable method Of apply
