Dean E. J. Maynard of the U. A. C. outlined the drouth problems in the State and particularly in the basin, and declared the government cattle and sheep slaughtering programs were designed to raise the prices of livestock as well as to aid the conservation of the short feed supplies. He urged stockmen and farmers to preserve the best breeding stock in their herds so that they will be In a position to take advantage of any improvement in the market, which, he said, was likely In view of the fact that the government planned to decrease the number of cattle by between 5,000,000 and 7,000,000 in the next six montha. Mr. Maynard told the farmers of the announcement made by Wiliam Peterson, Utah director of the slaughter program, that killing of sheep would soon begin. The college expert pointed out that, under the cattle killing program, 25,000 head would be taken out of the Uintah Basin alone In the next few months. The total number of cattle In the basin, he said, Is about 40,000 head, and the government plans to reduce this number by 60 percent. 1 tah 15th In Red Cross Work Mrs Mabel E.
