The report clears the way for action on the project by the powerful House Rules committee, but supporters of the project feared no action would be taken before Congress adjourns at the end of the month. The House Rules committee, made up chiefly of easteners and southerners, has been in no hurry to act upon the bill. Supporters of the project are looking to the White House for presidential help in getting the bill before the committee before the session of Congress closes. If the bill does not receive action during this session of Congress, it will remain in the committee until the January 1956 session opens. The report handed the House told of the many adventures of the bill. It states that the project will pay for itself in fifty years. At the same time, other opposing reports were also given the House.

Most of the ranges now in use are at high elevations where range feed is somewhat late, but very good compared with feed conditions on lower and intermediate ranges. Condition reported for District 1 (northern Utah) made unusual improvement from 72 of normal last month to 87 of normal on July 1st. Improvement was also noted in Districts 5 and 6 (central and eastern Utah areas). Very little change was noted in District 7 (southern Utah) where the June 1 condition was reoorted at 64 of normal and the July 1 condition at 67 of normal. Late spring and early summer rainfall has been greatest in northern Utah and least in the extreme southern part of the state. This is the main factor in the relative difference reported for feed conditions in the several Utah range on July 1 at 79 up 9 points from areas. Amounts of June precipitation recorded at southern Utah stations averaged considerably below normal and amounts recorded in the extreme northern part of the state were mostly above normal. Much of the June rainfall this season came during the first two or three days of the month. In northern Utah high summer range feed is now very good. It has been late In developing and moist range stock were kept off the high ranges for a longer period than usual. High summer feed is also considered good in the central and eastern Utah areas, but is relatively poor for this time of the of the state. In this area there is year in the extreme southern part apprehension that stock may be driven down much earlier than usual because of dry conditions and a deterioration of summer feed. Farm pastures are also considered good in the northern part of the state, fairly good in central and eastern sections, but relatively poor in the southern sections. Prospects for fall ranges are regarded as good in northern Utah but varies from fair to poor in other areas of the state. Much will depend upon the amount of summer moisture. July and August rains are usually important in developing fall and winter feed. Most areas, of the state have recorded deficient amounts of precipitation during the past two or three seasons and summer moisture will need to be above normal to develop optimum feed conditions. Catile Condition at 81 Cattle condition reported this of normal shows month at 81 a 5 point increase over the June 1 average, down 1 point from July 1 a year ago and down 5 average points from the for July 1. Cattle have been improving fast during the relatively short period that they have been (Continued on Back Page) |
