cattle industry and others Projects completed were a city water improvement system city zoning bleachers at the fairgrounds addition and remodeling of a general store a new bakery and a new r dentist’s office The second Interstate Highway SON project through the county a distance of 33 miles through Morgan City was nearly completed It includes two interchanges and access roads to get on and off of the highway to Morgan City and an overpass and access road below the h il city for farmers e The divided highway which parallels Union Pacific Railroad tracks has been oiled but not connected with the old highway and cannot be used as yet The first 27-miproject of the new highway was completed over a year ago and extends from the east entrance of Morgan City and through

spite of drought conditions causing hay to rise in price Most dairymen have changed to pipeline milkers and have installed tanks with the milk hauled by bulk tank trucks to market In the near future shopping milk by cans will be discontinued Because of this change many dairymen have sold out to larger dairy farmers milk producers in the county have installed the bulk tanks and produce grade A milk for market Total cows in the county is Twenty-fiv-e 166 Mink farms the sheep and wool industry and beef cattle each brought over $400000 into the county last year All are about equal in economic importance to the county This means there was a big drop in mink last year over the year before as mink was second in importance in the county the year be- fore bringing in about $534000 and running a close second to dairying Last year mink brought in about $407000 said Mr Thatcher The drop is due to the drop in the price of mink which is of' great concern to the 26 mink farmers in the ' county There were more mink produced in the county last year than ever before A total of 27161 pelts were marketed last year compared with 25441 the year before The farmers are getting 30 to 40 per cent less for each mink pelt on ’ the market Average pelts are being sold for about $15 Last year the mink farmers got about $22 for each pelt The mink crop from last year was pelted in December and auctioned t Scout Council Has 11052 Boys Enrolled County ' Though there were about as many beef cattle sold the price was down about 14 per cent Range livestock industry had a third bad year Drought conditions caused considerable damage to range land and it is expected the damage will carry over and cause a further reduction in sheep and cattle on the range Sheep and wool brought about $400000 into the county Lambs sold at $2 per head less than the year before and the price of wool was down also Last year there were about 19252 sheep and lambs sold and about pounds of wool shorn and sold This is
