The bureau of agricultural eco

crop at 32,221,000 head, the largest
on recoru,
The bureau ' aaid tbe crop was
about 6 per cent larger than lust
year and about 2,000.00 head, or
nearly 7 per cent, greater than the
average for the last five years.
The previous record crop was 31,
615,000 ill 1931.

said, contributed most ot the In
crease over last year. The crop in
tueae states was estimated at 21,
192,000 head, or 9 per cent larger
than last year, and the largest on
record for the region.
the bureau said weather and
feed conditions' In the western
sheep states during the 1938 lamb
ing season were, on the whole, the
moat favorable in recent years.
The death losses of breeding ewes
since the first of the year were
aaid to have been relatively small.
i ne cunniiion of lambs In July In
most of the western states was re
ported to have been above aver
age. An Increase in slaughter sun-
plies may cause lamb prices to de
cline from mid-July levels, It was
stated. But in the late fall and
winter some Improvement in con
sumer demand and prospective bet
ter prices of wool and pelts are ex
pected to be strengthening factors.
