Anyone interested at all in poul

When they have made their

AI Noregaard sheared some of
his sheep at a Falconer plant on
the Jmnuha and then set up his
own fine plant at his ranch, tho
former C. L, Hartshorn place.
Here several thousand sheep prob
ably will be shorn, including (hose
of several ranchers with less than
looo sheep each,

Lower valley.
Other ranchers would like to
drive their flocks to Iho Sled
Springs plant but the forest service
does not favor the move, rearing
the concentration or more sheep
would trample down too much
range. This suggests that there Is
a practical limit to the number of
sheep which can be driven to one
plant lo be shorn, and that the
proper system Is a series of plants
at convenient distance to tho graz
ing grounds or the. sheep.
