at SIT per year. That is, per cent on
$500 is $12, and this plus the $3.50 for
taxes and $3.50 for leases, total $17.
This compares with the $3.50
figure for the 193O-1941 period. AS of
now the total annual ranch operating
cost, as previously defined, stands at
around $35 to $40 per animal unit, for
the stock ranches of the northern great
plains and the northern Rocky Mountain
regions.
Less Favorable Position
We see, then, from the preceding fig
ures, that the present annual land
costs of these ranches is just about so
per cent of total costs, compared with
around S0-35 per cent for the 193O-1941
years. Now, with the annual gross
revenue of these ranches running about
$45 per annual unit, the annual land
cost is around 40 per cent of the gross
revenue, compared with 20 per cent
for the 193O-1941 years.
1t does not require much study of
these figures to reach the conclusion
that in all probability we are going to
have some significant adjustments in
the land cost aspects of stock ranching
costs. With such land costs, and with
the higher production credit require
mentS on the livestock, the stock ranch
operator is in less favorable position
now that he was in the 1930-1940 years
as far as his labor earnings are con-
cerned.
It is my estimate that, on today's
level of costs, prices and earnings, the
stock ranches of the northern great
plains and the northern Rocky Noun
tains should not have a total land cost
in excess of $40 per animal unit Of
year-around operational capacity. This
is for the per cent interest on the
land investment, the land taxes and
the leased land lease cost.
In this, the annual cost of the realty
taxes should not exceed 81 so per animal
unit, and the leased land rental costs
should not run in excess of SIPS per
animal-unit-mont of range1and graz.
ing capacity, for the leased lands.
Preferably, this figure is 81 per animal
unit month, though the present average
may be as much as double that figure,
especially for cattle.
The preceding figures point strongly
to a probable downtrend in ranch realty
sale prices and values. The present
values have been maintained near the
peak reached during the Korean war
period, and probably the main sustain
ing factor in this has been the buying
of ranch properties by the outside in
vestors
How long this may continue and to
what extent is anyone's guess, but I am
willing to guess that probably over the
coming several years we will see the
realty values for the ranches of the
northern great plains and northern
Rocky Mountain regions adjust toward
an overall average figure of around E
5000 per animal unit investment in the
decided lands.

tooth is going to come out any,
way. so why 60 to the trouble Of
having it filled? Aside from the
fact that toothache in 4 first or
baby" tooth can be just as pain
full as an ache in a permanent
tooth. it is important for the
chi'd's health to maintain those
first teeth in good condition un-
til the second set erupts
First Teeth Important
In addition to the obvious func-
ton Of chewing, the first teeth
are necessary for clear speech;
for giving form and symmetry to
the face; for guiding into the
mouth the permanent teeth which
are forming beneath them, and
for general health as well.
There are 20 teeth in this first
set. They begin to eIupt at about
the age of seven months. but the
tooth buds actually start to form
in the jaws some three or four
months before birth. About the
time the child is entering first
grade, at the age of six. the sec
Ond or permanent set Of teeth
begins to appear. At the same
time, growth of the jaws speeds
up, creating spaces between the
teeth in order to make room for
the larger permanent teeth.
When the child is about the age
of II, all of the permanent teeth
except the third molar will have
erupted and the child's head will
have grown almost to adult size
Most Important Tooth
Probably the most important
tooth in the chjld'S mouth is the
first permanent melar which
erupts at the age Of six. 1t is the
keystone which determines the
eventual position Of the other
permanent teeth in the dental
arch. Since it does not replace a
first tooth, it is often mistaken
for one of the baby" teeth.
Loss of the six year molar. or q
serious shifting in its position be-
cause of premature loss of nearby
first teeth, can have disastrous
effects on the entire Set of per-
manent teeth. Next summary -
