J. Wheatley, U, S. A. 0. Extension Economist. As butter prices increase, however, there is a material shift to butter substitutes and even a refraining from the offices; 1. One 2. One 3. One 4. One at all on the part of This shifting to batter substitutes, the possibility of some increase in butter imports, may limit the probable price rise to a very moderate amount. Dr. Wheatley, points out Farmers in Utah who have good herds of dairy cows, or who can acquire fairly good cows at reasonable prices, will find it profitalbe to feed hay and other comparatively cheap feeds liberally." Feeding dairy cattle while on pasture will likely be a profitable practice this fall. Farmers should be cautious, e of planning a dairy program on the basis of this fall and winters butterfat prices, emphasizes Dr. Wheatley. Cow numbers will likely not be reduced materially in the United States this fall and as soon as pasture and cheap feeds are available a decrease in butterfat prices mav Is expected. In Utah, with relatively cheap for age and beet feed supplies. It is possible for those farmers and stockmen with these feed advantageand proper use of feeding methods to make good returns from cattle feeding. Due to the forced liquidation of breed ing herds this fall, it is likely thai stocker cattle next spring will bring favorable Drices. Those who have supplies of discolored or slightly spoiled hay and are not easly accessible to the relatively cheap sugar beet feeds mav find it more profitable lo winter young Stockers or cows. The present drouth is expected to affect the sheep industry much less seriously than in 1934. since most of the sheep are located in areas not seriously affected by the present drv combined with now-eve- r, long-tim- ct - The high percentage of fat lambs in last years crop and the limited amount of lamb feeding, caused a scarcitv of lambs in April, May and June of this year, resulting in good returns to those who had lambs on feed.

GASOLINE TAX TO I Looking toward clarifying public opinion towards the use of gasolne tax funds, the Intermountain Association of Civic Chibs, through Samuel Powell President today announced the appointment of a special committee to investigate and report findings with reference to the distribution of the gasoline sales tax The committee named includes Jjew-iJones, of Brigham City, chairman; Dr. J. Morris Godfrey. Richmond, and Louis II. Griffin, of Ogden. Recent agitation by ' municipalities and other public groups to share in the gas tax is believed resonsible for this move by the Civic Club unit, to sponsor a study of the situation and the making public of the report and findings, in order to be able to lay down some guide which the Legislature may gage on at the coming session next January. As the committee is expected to report at the October meeting, it is understood that its sessions will be commenced shortly. . s LITERARY CLUB MEETING The opening meeting of the Ladies Literary Club was held Sept. 9th., at the home of Mrs. Edna Smith, with Ramona Capener assisting. A short Btory was read by Ottalie Oorless ; Mae McKinnon sang two solos. The guests were Hazel Durrant and Kathryn McKinnon. Delicious luncheon was served by the hostsesses. The next meeting will be held Sept. 23d at the home of Vilate Barton. MAUDE REX, Secretary.' Utah. Dear Mr. Guymon: Your letter of September 1st., addressed to Director Taylor has been referred to me for answer. The drouth situation in Montana still maintains a great part of the state. However, recent rains have filled water holes and started some grass, although this will not be sufficient to maintain all of the stock left In the state during he winter. Cows and calves have been selling from $33.00 to $40.00 for the pair. This is the better grade Hereford cows. Cross bred cows of mixed breeding sell for less money. A good quality Hereford to 6c yearling steer brings about yearling heifers of good quality bring about 4c. These yearlings weigh from 500 to 530 ibs. It is a little harder for buyers to purchase cattle in the county than it was a few weeks back. It takes a little more running around now to find what you want. We have three markets in this state where cdt-tlare assembled each week and sold at public auction. Many buyers have come to the state and attended these markets, where they purchase the price of cattle they wanted; others go direct to the country and make their purchases. Some of the country buyers have found bargain prices; other have been rather disappointed. Bargains are usually in the small lots of cattle. Larger growers are usually able to demand a price comaprable with the market. If any of your stockmen wish to come to Montana, I would be glad to try and direct them to localities where they might purchase the grade of ca tie they want. There is a possibility that some of our stockmen might ship either cattle or sheep to Utah later on in the season for feed. Some few of our larger sheepmen may wish to ship out of the state for winter feed, but so far the stockmen have told us that they were not interested in shipping out of the state for winter feed. However, 1 know of a few sheepmen who are planning to ship either to Idaho or Washington, and if they could be assured of getting good winter range, there is a possibility that they might go as far south as Utah.

Montana, 10. 1936. 5c spell. a ill It appears that the activities of the Rural Rehabilitation division of the Resettlement Administration in Rich County are not as well understood as as they might be. This program was originally intended to take farm families off the relief rolls. It was then -- enlarged to include families who were in danger of having to go on the relief rolls, with the thought that it is worth as much or more to keep families off relief as to get them off. The work in Rich County is under the direction of Clarence A. Anderson, county farm supervisor, and Mrs. W. V. Shaw, home supervisor. The rur ai rehabilitaton program consists of working out detailed farm and home plans and lendng the farmers sufficient money to put those plans into effect. Usually it means the purchase of horses, dairy cows, chickens, hogs, turkeys, farm machinery and seed. It may include the erection of farm buildings or the payment of delinquent taxes. Old debts can be taken up on chattel mortgages only when it is necessary to avoid a foreclosure. In general the loan is made for the purchase of goods that wi 1 increase a mans income sufficiently to allow him to meet living expenses, repay the debt and refinance himself. Only when a man can do these tbngs can he be said to have been rehabilitated. Any farmer in Rich County may lie eligible for such a loan if he owns or leases a farm and needs financial assistance which he cannot secure thru the local banks or other lending agen- k MAKE YOUR PLANS NOW TO BE THERE UTAH STATE FAIR NEWS LAKETOWN NOTES Mr. and Mrs. Milton B.
