Government To Again Contribute To Hot Lunch Program
Governor Lester Hunt announced Wyoming will continue federal aid for the school lunch program next year under the same terms as last year. The USDA will allocate 750000.00 to sponsors, with Wyoming receiving funds under a cooperative agreement with the federal department. The program served over 900000 meals in 1943-45, with rising participation and a shift toward more paid meals, while free meals declined. The governor emphasized nutrition and education, noting hot lunches improve student health and learning, and urged more schools to participate.

Wyoming Range And Livestock Report
The report notes generally adequate to plentiful surface and subsoil moisture except central areas. Haying delays in southern and western counties due to rains and labor shortages, while other regions report first cuttings stacked and second cuttings underway. Grain harvest starts vary by county with good or better expected yields overall despite hail damage to wheat. Range conditions are good to very good overall, with grass remains green from summer rains, cattle and calves in strong condition, and some potential adjustments after the war. mosquito swarms slow lamb development, and calf survival may shift slightly compared with last year.
