Sheepmen Moving
To Summer Ranges;

Fair Lambing and
Shearing Reported;
Market Slows Up.
IONE NEWS
J. G. Barratt loaded out 28 car
loads of sheep at the local yards
Sunday evening for summer range
near Browning, Mont. The shipment
comprised a special train of woolies
that will craze in the shadows of
the Rockies near Glacier national
park until fall.
Thirty-eight carloads of Krebs
brothers sheep from Cecil are ex
pected to start this week end for the
same point. Another Morrow coun
ty grower expected to use the Mon
tana range this summer is L. D
Neill of Echo, county commissioner.
Sheepmen of the county generally,
having completed a good average
lambing and taken a fair clip of
wool, have started or are preparing
to start their sheep to summer range
D. O. Justus and sons were among
the first to get under way for the
mountains, starting a band Friday
for the Greenhorns. Fred Hoskins
finished delivering a band to the
mountains near La Grande on Mon
day.
Fair range conditions prevailed
over the county for the lambing and
shearing operations, with stock going
into the summer range in generally
good condition. Some lambing losses
were reported due to late storms
and scours, but increases averaged
from 60 to 80 percent. A few grow
ers reported as high as 90 percent
increase.
The active market in wool and
lambs which existed for a time ear
lier in the season brought average
returns to the grower of 30 cents for
wool and 7 to 8 cents for lambs. The
market has since slowed up, with
buyers generally inactive. ,
There is nothing in the market
situation to cause alarm, reports R.
A. Ward, manager of Pacific Coop
erative Wool Growers, in the cur
rent issue of Oregon Lambs and
Wool, official publication of . Oregon
Wool Growers association. He re
ported wool stocks of the country
at the lowest level since 1920, and'
with consumption heavy for the first
three months of the year, a contin
ued good demand appears likely.
Quoting from the Boston Transcript,
he said, "Dealers look for tempor
ary fluctuations in the wool market
tending to a little lower level, fol
lowed by a resumption of the ad
vance in early fall.
Blaine E. Isom and father-in-law,
Henry Struve of Pendleton, return
ed Monday evening from an over-the-holiday
fishing excursion to
Crooked river and East lake. They
encountered poor luck due to cold
weather. They estimated passing
15 cars with boats going into East
lake.
