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.
