An open letter to all Navajo
stocknen and Indian traders has
been published by Acting General
Superintendent of the Navajo Agen-
cy, XIV. Dixon, concerning prep
arations for the winter stock
problems.
"The fall livestock sales period
is rapidly approaching and over
most of Navajo Country, a very dry
summer has been experienced. The
outlook for winter forage on the
Navajo ranges is poor and now is
the time to begin preparations for
a long, hard winter. If precipita-
tion is received within the next
two weeks, it would be of tremen-
dous benefit; however. at this late
date the effectiveness of the pre-
cipitation in getting grass TO grow
would be very limited.
