Cecil Alder, meteorologist, meteorolo-gist, gives a highly encouraging report, re-port, as follows: The weather has peen excellent for livestock and outdoor operations. Local snowfalls extended the grazing radius from watering places, but increased in-creased the amount of feeding on farms. Dense fog persisting for sev- eral days soltened the browse. Plowing Plow-ing still continues in places, an exceptionally ex-ceptionally large acreage having been1 turned this fall. Late sown grains con- j tinue a very slew growth, but all grains are thrifty. Most roads are! good. Livestock are fair at Laketown ; Bear Lake is not frozen over. Winter! grain has made a good fall growth at' Garland. An exceptionally lai-ge acre-' age of land has been plowed this fall at Ogden. Winter grain is up, has ample moisture, and is doing well at Tooele. Ranges are good at St. John. Foggy weather occurred at Benmore, the resulting hoar frost causing some sove mouth among lambs; the desert needs snow; there is no grain up, but soils are well saturated. Livestock! a:e doing well at Santaquin. I Plowing has continued at intervals at Moroni, but grain growth has been! stopped by cold weather. Grain looks' well at Spring City. Sheep can now leave the foothills at Manti, as new snow has fallen, though cattle feeding feed-ing will be increased since pastures have been covered; highways are fair. Early sown grain is good or excellent at L;van, but late sown fields are criming up slowly; soil moisture is plentiful, and snow is four inches deep. Snow and foggy weather have softened the feed at Milford and livestock live-stock have done well. Cattle feed is good on the foothills at Duchesne. Desert, livestock ae still good at Emory. Livestock arc doing well at Ouray. Roads are muddy at Moab. Range browse and grass are only fair at La Sal due to drought in the early rrrowth stages; livestock are still srood.
