BANNER YEAR FOR

BIG CLIP AND HIGH PRICES
PREDICTED BY STATE SEC
RETARY SMYTHE.
R. F. Stabblefield, the well known
Enterprise flockm aster, left Monday
for Colfax, Wash., to superintend the
shipment of 470 bucks here which
he recently purchased of Hollings
worth. They are of the popular
French Merino breel.
Secre ary Smythe of the State
Woolgrowcrs association Is sanguine
this Is going to be a great year for
Oregon sheepmen. The clip Is ex
pectel to be the largest ever, while
the price for the present outlook will
be 20 cents or better for best wool.
Montana reports 25 cents offered.
Ellery. buyer for a big Boston
firm, was in the county last week
offering 18 ceats but no growers
contracted at those figures.
COYOTE PRCOF PASTURE
SUCCESS SAYS F-S EXPERT.
The following summary of results
from the coyote-proof pasture con
ducted by the Forest service in this
county, will be of Interest to stock
growers. "Portland J. T. Jardine, grazing
expert in the Forest service, before
leaving for the Wallowa National
forest to observe range conditions
during the lambing seaosn, spoke
of the "work of the Bervice there as
follows :
"The experimental work conducted
at coyote-proof pasture on the Wal
lowa National forest last Beason was
a continuation of the work begun in
1907, for the purao3e of studying the
pasturage sys'.em of handling sheep
with a view to bringing about the
highest possib'.e utilization of jrazlng
lands.
"The coyo'e-proof fence constructed
in 1907 was repaired and the enclos
ure cleared of animals in May of 1908.
On June 21 a band of 2,200 ewes and
lambs of Ramboluliet breed wera
turned loose In the enclosure. During
this time an accurate record was kept
for the purpose of ascertaining the
number and kind of animals coming
to the enclosure, and the attitude o!
each toward the coyote-proof fence.
Coyotes were at the fence line nearly
ever night during the 93 days .of test,
and not one succeeded in getting
through. Grizzly bear and brown bear
passed through the enclosure many
times, but did not molest the sheep,
and it may be of interest to note that
two grlzzlle3 and five brown bear
were kil'.el within the pasture or
near it.
"At the close of the season the
short wool lambs of the pasture band
then six months o'.d, averaged 72
ounds. The best lambs of the same
breed, and the same age herded on
range near the pasture, but richer in
forage crops than the pasture area
ged 64 pounds. The average
eights of four bands of one-half
Shropshire Iambs from choice sum
mer. range, were 63, 64, 65, and 69
i pounds.
j "The loss from the pasture band
I was less than one-half of , one per
jcent. The average loss, during the
1
' '
jaxe period, from o it side bands was
hree per cent.
"Careful comjar'stn of range graz
ed under the two systems shewed
iat 50 per cent Ii a conservative
estimate for the Increase in carrying
-apacity of lands grated under the
pasture system over lands grazed
under the customary nmhod3 of
herding.
" e have thsn, an increased carry
ing capacity of 50 per cent, larger
m fatter shseo, far less loss and
,e may anticipata a heavier, cleaner
crop of wool."
