One prominent Rambouillet breed er retains only those ewes which shear IS pounds of wool or more annually. The progress made in this growing industry will be demonstrated by the larger and more comprehensive exhibits and displaycs in the Sheep and Wool divisions of the forthcoming 18th Annual Pacific International Live stock Exposition at Portland, Oregon, November 3-10. . This event affords an opportunity to learn from the experiences and achieve ments of other wool growers.

We believe that local farmers who attend will bring back a knowledge of better farm ing practices that will assist in the further prosperity of this section. Maupin.
