There are fewer sheep and shearing is easier. Thirty or forty years ago there were 2 or million clips to be removed in this state each year with hand shears or single-head ed manpowered clippers. Now the number has shrunk to about 750,000 head, or less than a third the number on farms at the turn of the century, and multiple-headed gas or electric- powered machines have reduced the size of the job even further. Trends have been similar na tionally. Domestic wool produc tion this year is likely to be around 5 percent smaller* •than last year. The number of stock sheep decreased about this a- mount in 1947. This wàs the six- the year in a row that numbers hare declined. And here is a striking fact about the sheep and wool situation in this country.
