In Texas, there have been only three years since 1917 when range condition were as dry. Most of the California range districts are dry, and the state as a whole will produce a very small percentage of fat cattle off grass. Eastern Oregon and Washington are dry, and range feed for cattle and sheep is short, but good carryovers of hay coupled with a mild winter have brought livestock through so far in good condition. The Intermountain country, for the most part, is suffering from shortage of moisture, although rec ent rains have made some improve ment in Utah. The latest U. S. Department of Agriculture report on general range conditions in the western states indicates the fourth lowest condition in 17 years. Of course, in much of the range country, spring and summer rains could greatly relieve the drouth. but present indications are that the range cattle and sheep operators will have to make use of larger amounts of hay and other supple mental feeds than usual, and feed lots and Irrigated pastures will have to be utilized to assure the required quota of fat beef and lamb. All through the Pacific Coast States and the Intermountain dist rict, there Is widespread interest on the part of the meat animal industry in supplemental feeding and dry-lfinishing. Fortunately, our colleges of agricultural and vocational educational leaders are providing Important new facts on the more efficient utilization of western grown grains, forage and in meat animal production. To my mind, the work being done and Future Farmthrough the er organizations is particularly Im portant In demonstration of what may be accomplished on individual farms in meat animal feeding. It is manifestly more economical to finish meat animals on the farms where grain is grown, than to transport the grain to market. This seems particularly true in the Northwest where wheat prices have been relatively low in recent years. whereas livestock prices have been good. Furthermore, relatively there Is a broad consumer demand meat animals on the for grain-fe- d Pacific coast while at the same time there Is an apparent surplus in grain production. ot Payson To Meet Nephi In Opener Local Team Wins First Two Games Played Out-of-To- Payson will cross bats with the Nephi nine here next Wednesday afternoon in the opening home game ofthe Central Utah league.

"We Build" Will Be Theme; Several Huge Floats Are Planned "Visitors to the Ute Stampede on July 14th, will witness one of the most outstanding parades in the history of Nephi" says Acil L. Petty, chairman of the parade committee. Mr. Petty reports that his committee has taken as the theme of this year's parade, "We Build" and will carry that theme throughout the greater number of floats that will enter the gigantic spectacle. Contacts are now being made with a number of Utah Industries and also a number of the cities of Central Utah, and it is anticipated that this year's parade will excell those of former years. Since the Ute Stampede was started . five years ago, Nephi has staged an annual parade that has been one of the outstanding annual parades in the State of Utah, and people have come from long distances to witness it. The floats that have been sent to Nephi from the various towns of central Utah and Salt Lake City have been equal to any entered in the parades in the larger cities in Utah. A number of new members have been added to the parade commit tee, and each member has been assigned to a division, according to Mr. Petty.
