AVERAGE SHEEP PRODUCES .
WOOL FOR.ONE.SUJ.l
Belter Breeding and Rigid Cullin:
Producing Better and. Heavier
Flec
How culling and wie attention U
breeding of farm animals may be ex
pected to produce returns for farmer
is reflected in statistics gathered
by the Bureau of Animal Industry
and published in the current Year
book of the United States Depart
roent of Agriculture.
"In 1840," says E. W. Sheets, ;n
charge of animal husbandry invert
gations, "the average weight of
fleece sheared from American sheep
was less than 2 pounds. By 1900 it
had increased to nearly 5 pounds.
To-day it is approaching 8 pounds.
In other words, nn average sheep to
day prowr. wool enough each year
to make approximately one suit of
clothes. In 1340 it took the wool
of four sheep to ml;e a suit of equal
weight and quality."
Better breeding and more rigid
culling of breeding flocks promise
to raise this average still further.
Wool production is similar to such
qualities as heavy milk production
in dairy cattle and heavy egg pro
duction by henr. The offspring of
heayy producers are likely to be
heavy producers and to transmit to
their offspring the capacity for
heary production.
In the case of sheep, Mr. Sheets
wys: "There is still room for im
provement. , By 'weeding out' the
poor producers and breeding from
the heavily fleeced sheep, flock
owners can rai e the average."

Chicken Thieve Busy
There is no man in Maupin with
a bigger heart than has Bill .tfati.
If he has anything his neighbor co
vets all that is necessary to procure
that thing is to ask Bill for it and
it will be given. But.when someone,
with burglarous instincts deliber
ately helps himself to Bill's chick
ens, taking them between suns, then
it is that our worthy fathe? of Mau
pin waxes wroth. Bill lost four
fine springers last Friday night, his
pen being entered some time be
tween dark and dawn. Bill has a
grave fpspicion aR to who the thief
is and the fellow is warned not to
try his nefarious practiiei around
the Staats home again.

Bates Ghattuck, Joe Kramer,
"Kelly" Cyr and Art Morrir, left for
the Blue mountains last Sunday
morning, going after deer. ' Each
of the party is an experienced
hunter and if does not succed in
getting him quota of venison it will
be becuase there are no deer In the
part hunted over.
The most active fall hay market
in many ycara with average prices
for alfalfa in Oregon $2.60 above
the level of a year aago, is reported
in the weekly market review just re
leased by the agricultural economics
denartment of the state college ex
tension service. Scarcity of feed be
cause of poor pastures has stimulated
the demand for hay at the came lime
that holdings the country over are
some seven million tons below lajt
year's totaal.
This situation in the feed market
has caused heavier shipments of un
finished cattle and hogs to market,
temporarily depressing the price. The
general outlook remains favorable
after the present forced rhipmcnts
are over, although some observers
believe that the market for stockcr
and feeder cattle will remain some
what below that of last year.
Wool markets are unsteady be
cause of unsettled conditions tn
foreign markets. The United States
wool clip lr, now estitmated at 1 per
cent below last year. Mohair mar
kets are also reported slow.
Egg shipments to eastern mar
kets have decelincd this fall a com
pared with 1928 and case eggs In
storage arc considerably lower than
la t year. Trices advanced more
than usual in September and storage
stocks are-now coming out at pro
