PACK TWO THE GAZETTE-TIMES, EEFTXER, TmTwSD,ir, TLV 64, IMA. Study Sheep on Western Ranch. Several results of Importance to western ehep men bava been ascer tained arises from the lact that the ment sheep ranch near Dubois, Idaho, which has been In operation two years. Formerly It was customary lor range sheep men to discard ewes which did not bear lambs when I years old. Extensive Investigations by the Department of Agriculture have developed that such ewes are just as valuable for future breeding as those which bear lambs as 2-year olds. Individual records are kept on the Government sheep ranch relative to the weight of fleece, length of fleece, character of fleece, fineness of fiber, and mutton Quality of each animal, , wniie detailed account is maintained of the oftspring of each ewe. The I particular utility of the results ob- taintd arises from the fact that the flock is handled as are all similar bands of sheep in the bauds ut Wy oming stockmen. Experiments are being conducted i to develop a type of sheep more suit able to the western range conditions than the types now prevalent. It is hoped to extend this work in both mutton conformation and length and weight of fleece. There are at present about 1,600 head of pure-bred Rambouillets, Lin coin Rambouillets, Cotswold Ram bouillets, and Romney Rambouillets on the government ranch. Crossbreed ing experiments are being conducted with all these breeds and crosses, as well as the use of pure-bred Corrie dales, which have been mated with crossbred ewes.

Millions of Pounds Held By War De jHUauent Released Too Late For I'se. Washington, Juiy29. It is an nounced that the sale of 21,000,000 pounds of surplus sugar held by the War Department has been author ized by Secretary Baker. The stocks include 14.000,000 pounds in storage at New Orleans and 7,000,000 pounds at San Francisco. The price 13 to be fixed by the United States Sugar Equalization Beard to cover the cost to the government. Secretary of War Baker, according to the announcement realized that a shortage of sugar existed in the can ning season and decided to give the American public the benefit of the surplus. Comment in Congressional circles Is that the canning season for many fruits Is already over or nearly so and that unless the Department puts the sugar on the market with a good deal more celerity than it has mar keied surplus meats and othor food stuffs the season will be entirely over before housekeepers are able to buy any of the Government stock of sugar. So far, the estimate of 4,600,000 bushels of wheat for the county does not appear endangered, says the Pen dleton East Oregonlan. The Increased yield of individuals over their crop of last year Is about sufficent to add a million bushels to the crop in 1918 and favorable conditions for the re mainder of the harvest period will give the county the record set. Even the light lands. Pilot Rock, Nolln, Yoakum and Echo, are pro ducing better than was expected. Many who thought they had no crop at all are getting 15 bushels and those who thought they might get 1 5 bushels are carrying off 10 sacks or nearly 25 bushels to the acre. North west of Pendleton are some 25 to 3G bushel yields and the Cold Springs country is doing 30 and better.
