But 60 ; Early Sheared Sheep Losses Reported. of to STOCK GRAZING FEES WILL NOT BE RAISED. TO LABOR SECRETARY Grafting foes for the rmnUlla Na tional Forest Will not tie increased this year, according to information given today by J. C. Kuhtu), supervisor of the Umatilla and Wenahu. forests. The rate for sheep for the regular season, Jane 15 to October 1ft, will remain at 12 cents per head, while the rate for caul for the regular season. May 1 to October 31. which la 71! centH per head, will continue, aa will the rate t 90 centa per head for horses. Mr. Kuhns says that while for 1920 there wax no Increase in fees, there wiu considerable discussion in the House Committee on Agriculture con cerning1 them, and an effort was made tor have the grazing charges on Nation al' Forests readjusted upon the basin of 'the commercial rates charged for pasturage upon lands of similar char acter, taking into account the advant age and disadvantages f the reside- tlve area. Mr. Kuhns explains further that i when the agriculture appropriation MM for the year ending Juno 30, 1020 came up for conslderat ion in tin- j llou.so the provision for making such readjust men! was stricken out on n point of order. A number of amend ments offered In the House, with prac tically the same object in view, were j lost on poiirts of order. "The Pro dneer" for March 110 states "thai Umatilla county has only un SO per cent crop of lambs this year and the state us a whole probably not more than (JO per cent, according to esti mates of two of the county's best known si tee p raisers.

The lamlMng season gave nearly a (JO per cent result, but a tic i nf mliu wnrn nn.ililo to Htirviv reports say. The long cold spell. with late rains and snow, proved hard on the yortng lambs. The grass was retarded In its growth with the result that ewes on the ranges were unable to give enough milk to properly nour lah lambs to withstand the rigorous went her. In some sections of the state con ditions were much worse than in this county and, with deep snows and a shortage of hay abetting, lamb losses were heavy. Stockmen were not as hard pressed here as in many local ities. Ixisses of grown sheep in the Keho Country resulted from cold winds and snow following early shearing. The rigorous climate was too much for some of the sheep that had been shorn and they were lost. Shearing on the ranges in this vicinity probably will not be undertaken before May 1, as conditions this spring have been so backward. By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 24.
