The report Just issued by G. S.

This Increase Is due large ly to the higher average' values of cattle a compared with last year. Milk cows are the same in n-umDer as last year. The xzH.OW head, averaging 188, are valued at $20,064,000, while lasl year at $75 each their value was $17,100, 000.

January, 1919, averaged but $37.60 and were valued at $11,543,200. The decrease in stock cat tie is due to poorer range conditlona caused by drougth and high prices of feed and labor, wiin tne range season w necessary and many stockmen pre ferred to reduce the size of their herds. rather tnan carry tnm mniutn a long feeding season on mgn-pricea leeas. iiiniini $11 per head, the 754,580 sheep in the state have a value of $8,322. 880 a compared with 780,000 sheep last year valued at tf,2U,uuv. inn average value of sheep one year ago was $11.80.
