Listed ea major objectives were: Improvement of grazing conditions on the national range; rehabilitation of reclamation projects, improvement of fire protection facilities in forested sens, and a general increase in the usefulness for recreational purposes of forest and parks within the state. Real progress toward attaining these objective! was made during Uie 1937 fiscal year, Feehner said. The building of 91 impounding and large diversion dams, the digging of 51 wells snd the development of more than 100 springs and water-hole- s in arid areas has done much to advance programs for the conservation and use of water, and has greatly improved grazing conditions on important public domain and forest grazing areas, the federal director stated. STOCK MARKET DROPS For three months the stock market, which is supposed to be the barometer of business, hsa been churning round and round, but not getting anywhere. Some weeks the speculators feel blue, and they sell their slocks. Some weeks they feel cheered up, and they buy them back. At the end of the proress the financial barometer is about where it waa before. It doesnt exactly say fair weather, nor exactly storm, and it seems td point rather strongly toward Change. The startling drop of last October was due to indications of business Beeline. During the early part of the year 1937, prices of goods and commodities went up to fast. Wages were advancing, the factories .wen running short hours, and probably many concerns had an exagger-kte- d idea of the prices that could be charged. The feeling that prices were going up still more led business people and the general pubile td buy with some freedom. Probably they Blocked up ahead of their needs. When they do that a dull time always follows during which they use up the stocks they thus bought ahead of immediate requirements. Such a dull period can not last very long, since the people are consuming goods every day. It shokld not be many months before shortages of products bring better times in the factories Then the stock market will begin climbing again, and the world will feel more cheerful. Whatever can be done to remove clouds of uncertainty frota business will put idle people to work. Fears about high taxes and uncertainty ns to government policies chill enterprise, and lead business people td tdiher with apprehension and ait on their money bags. Their conservation may be overdone.
