other operators in that area Illus-
trates a fact that has been noted
about Brown county oil production
many ttaaes and that will bear em-

are made in territory previously

ritory.

“THE SHOP FOR TOTS”
AUSTIN. Texas. April 13-<8p.)
—Outlook for the live stock indus-
try Is very much brighter than it
was six weeks ago. accotding to
Bervard Nichols editor of the Tex-
as Business Review, issued monthly
by the Bureau of Business Research
at the University of Texas
"Heavy rains tell during March
in practically all pan* -at the
State, bringing to an end the
droulhy conditions which existed
during the previous two or three
months." Mr. Nichols said. Then,
too. warm tompreature stimulated
growth of graas and weeds so that
ranges showed marked Improve-
ment. Animals are putting oo flesh
rapidly and It appears now that the
spring movement of grass fat cattl->
will start earlier than was thought
poesihls a month ago. Winter loss-
es were very small this year, despite
the fact that ranges were unusually
poor and considerable feeding was
necessary. If prices hold at pres-
ent levels, this should be a satis-
factory year for the industry.
Ranges S3 Per Cent
“Cattle ranges on April 1 rated
at 16 per cent at normal by the
United Stales Department of Agri-
culture. compared to 79 per cent on
March 1 and 92 per cent on April
] I, 1933. Marked Improvement tv
jshown in practically all parts of
j the 8tate. Water tanks are full and
j soil moisture is ample to insure
• goad ranges for some time to ooxae.
Cattle were placed at S3 per cent
of normal, or the same as last year,
but three points above the condi-
tion on March 1. Calves are com-
ing rapidly with good prospects for
a large crop. Some producers have
contracted their calves for fall de-
livery at about $40 a head. This
price is about $6 per head under the
contract price at this time last year
The condition of both sheep and
goals improved Iran S3 per cent on
March 1 to 86 ’per cent on April 1,
or practically the same as on April
1. 1928 Sheep and goat ranges
were rated at FI per cent against
79 per cent on March 1, and a five-
year average of 86 per cent Lambs
and kids are coming in large num-
bers and the young animals are re-
ported to be In excellent condition
Losses have been small. Goat clip-
ping is about completed and sheep
shearing Is progressing rapidly.
Very Utile contracting of wool and
mohair has been done; prices where
quoted, are from 3 cents to 10 cants
below those of last year. Only s
small number of lambs have been
contracted.
Poultry aad Dairy
“The poultry and dairy situation
was a Uttle less encouraging. Prices
for eggs and batter declined sea-
sonally and market* were rather
dull most of the month. However,
ootd storage holdings of these pro-
ducts are comparatively Uglit and
should be a sustaining price faotor.

with a tendency toward lower prioee.
