They will pay $10 per acre, with filing in the Blackfoot land office. Dry farming gains favor where water is scarce, seen as a substitute as irrigation expands and more land enters cultivation.

Sheep Scab Near Owina Near Center Winter Range
Sheep inspector O C Dunn reports a badly infected flock of about 1500 sheep near Owina in the center of the winter range. The owner, Miller, has quarantined the animals and plans isolation and care to prevent spread. Poor weather aids transmission, making eradication a hard task. Dunn noted the flock had been in good condition earlier in the year and hopes to check spread to other flocks.
