C A Many livestock producers are marketing their cattle at this-time this-time of year. We all want to get as much as we can for the things we sell, and bruised and crippled animals bring much less money on the market. Recently a packing company ran a test to determine the amount of bruises on animals which were sold. Twenty four percent of all beef which they slaughtered were bruised. A loss of $6.76 was sustained on each bruised animal. It will pay to be careful in handling beef going go-ing to market. C A State Engineer oseph M. Tracy Tra-cy has proclaimed the closing of wells diverting water from underground sources from November No-vember 1, 1951 to April 1, 1952, as provided by law. All persons owning or having control of any artesian or pump well ,or wells in this state are required to close by plug, cap valve, or other mechanical device, de-vice, or by repairs, all wells except those providing water for beneficial use. Beneficial use during the above period does not include irrigation. It is also provided that modification modi-fication of said order may be granted upon showing to the I State Engineer that a compliance therewith will cause partial or complete failue of the well. The closing season of underground under-ground water has been proclaimed proclaim-ed in' the interest of conserving the underground water supply "and to provide a maximum quantity for the next year's use. As a result of last year's closing order, there was made available during the past season additional water which materially helped to mature crops. Strict obedience to this closing order will further increase the supply. Disregard of the closing order is a misdemeanor and, if necessary neces-sary the State Engineer will bring action in the district court to enforce the law. |
