this morning that the dog catehor
would be put to work again, be

.that several unlicensed cunlnes

clean-up will be attempted.

"Except for the cattle industry,!
where the number on feed has in ;
two years tended to obscure the
liquidation in uctuul breeding
stock, agriculture has obviously
emptied its surpluses of the mujor
erops and animals. Over, the
country as a whole reports. Indi
cate that farmers have not goiio
into action so hopefully in five
years." -
Farmers Warned.
Iieviewing its recent Intentions-to-plant
report, which indicated
that the farmers contemplated In
creased acreage of Important crops
tho bureau repeated Its warning
that "it seems doubtful if the
general expansion of production
contemplated by farmers would be
to their best interests."
"Tho indicated purchasing pow
er of the important crops tended
higher in February," the repor:
stuted. The key livestock pro
ducts practically stood still, except
in the case of eggs and bitter,
which lost ground. The rapid ad
vance of grain prices through the
winter left certain livestock pro
duets in n relatively weuk position
as to purchasing power. This has
been especially true of dairy und
poultry products, having reached
point such us discouraged pro
duction of the latter."

Every effort will be made, when

This will be urged as desirable
in order that the new rates liny
be made effective befuro the next
assessment Is due.
A further reuson will be thut
