Jan. 22 (A)') The, agriculture and sheep Indus tries have been generally profit able during tlte last five years and sheep men since 1 92 1 have been In a more fuvorable position than most other agricultural producers, Secretary of Agriculture W.

After the post war boom many farmers found t heiuselves in an over-expanded position and burdened with sur plus products for which them was no profitable market, But tho sheep Industry made a quick re covery", Secretary Jardine said. "Prices of wool, sheep and lambs have been relatively higher in tho last few years than the, prices of most other agricultural com modities," lie declared.
