Uernnnia The Open Forum - - What Oilier Editors Think PAGE THREE EARLY LAMB CROP SMALL lambs sold in Portland at $6.50 IN ALL WESTERN STATES to $6 and up during the week OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corvallia — A smaller early lamb crop in all the western states with as much as a 10 per cent decrease in California and from 3 to 5 per cent for the country as a whole was indicated in the special government report on ear ly lambs issued by the Oregon State college extension service. The report for Oregon says that weather conditions all over the state during the winter were unfavorable and feed was short in many sections. Ewes in early lamb bands were in rather poor condition and losses of both ewes and lambs were above average. The feed supply is getting very short at the present time. These same conditions prevailed for the most part in early lamb areas of Washington and Idaho. In the middle western and eas- tern states and in Texas, the early crop is larger than last year and the condition of the lambs is good to excellent. California’s 10 per cent de crease was due largely to poor condition of many ewes last fall because of drought and to un favorable weather and feed short age during the winter. New crop lambs were offered in Portland March 9 for the first time this season. They sold as high as $10 per hundredweight. The bulk of the old crop wooled ending March 12, which repre sents a gain of about $1.50 since the middle of December. The tendency toward dullness in hog markets broke up during the week ending March 12 when light butchers at Portland brourht a top of $5.15 and Chicago p < s advanced to $5 a hundredwe ,;bt for the first time since mid No- vember.
