Grazing Men to
Apply March 5-6
Marvin Klemme, regional grazier
at Burns, and the directors of the
Morrow Grazing association will
meet at the county agent's office
Friday and Saturday, March 5 and
to hear appeals from action taken
on applications for grazing permits.
Out of thirty-four applications for
licenses, considered at the board
meeting February 18 and 19, four
were rejected and 13 were suspended
for further information. Each ap
plicant has been notified directly
from Burns of the action taken in
his particular case. At the March
and 6 meeting, the board will also
consider applications which had not
been submitted at the previous
meeting. Any stockman making an
application at -this time should bear
in mind that any action taken on a
new petition will necessarily be fin
al. It might be well, therefore, for
such late applicants to appear in
person before the board.
In addition to all of the govern
ment land lying within the boun
daries of the district, the grazing
association will have administrative
charge of all county lands.
Despite the fact that the district is
new, the board of directors has been
meeting with ready cooperation in
their administration of what, for the
first year, must necessarily be a
very difficult job. Farmers who
have been runnnig only small num
bers of livestock within the grazing
district have, on numerous occa
sions, expressed a fear that the graz
ing association would consolidate
the holdings of larger operators and
thus force the small operators out of
business. These men are beginning
to realize that such fears were
groundless and that the grazing as
sociation is the best protection a
small operator can have.

IDEAL TONIC FOR TIRED
CHILDREN AND ADULTS
Builds Rich, Red Blood,
Stimulates Appetite and
improves Digestion
If your children are skinny
and underweight, fretful and
wbiny, it may be because their
blood lacks sufficient iron. The
growing years use up terrific
energy and weaken resistance.
Pursang not only relieves this
condition by correcting iron
deficiencies and restoring the
balance between white and red
blood corpuscles. It also helps
to arouse appetite and improve
digestion.
Check up on your family's
health. If your children are run
down, or you yourself are be
low par, why not try the Pur
sang treatment for a while?
Pursang every day beforo or
after meals.
