SHEEP BUSINESS BACK TO
NORMAL
Rapid recovery from the depres
stun which struok it three yenra
ago it being made by theAmerioan
aheep industry under the stimulus
of tariff protection, fairly good
prices, nnd unproved credit facili-
ties,say reports to the Department
of Agriculture. Sheepmen general
ly areOptimistic and in good finan
cisl shape, and mutton and wool
production, though at 111 below
normal, is increasing.
Proof that tho industry ia get
ting back on its feet is seen in tho
fact that the Dumber of sheep in
ihiscountty according to an esti
mate us of Januray 1, has inoreaa
ed by 882,000 over the totui on tha
not responding date in 1922. It is
still 243.000 below the 1921 total
of 37,452.000, but the rate of in
crease suggtsta that the losses of
the liquidation period will soon be
made up. Officials of the Depart
meDt of Agriculture do not, how
ever, think that the high figures
of the war years will be reached
again for some time. The peak
of the war period was touched at
49,956.000 head in 191*.

At the lowest price ever made, the
Ford Touring Car is even better t
than before. The one-man top,
slanting windshield, improved seats
and refined chassis construction
have won instant admiration.
Already the demand for this model
exceeds our ability to meet prompt

have to disappoint many who are

to ensure stability and progies*.
The wool outlook seem* favorable {
Americana use more wool than'
euy other people. Per capita'
consumption has risen from about
three pounds io our early history
to about six nod one-half pounds.
Although a heavy producer of
wool, tbe country is neverthe-
less obligated to impoit two thirds
of its supply. Home producers are
therefore assured of a Lroxd do-
mestic m irket. A
Lets certainty exists in regard
to the market for mutton and
Inmb. Lamb nnd mutton are
higher-priced and are considered
ns luxuries by mod people. In
conarqueiice sheep and luiub price
show greaer sensitiveness to var$
ation in geuerai economic con
ditious than any other important
commodities, and in recssione, as
well as in advances, have usually
preceded other meet products by
substantial period*. How to asr-uro
a stable and broadening market
for mutton aud lamb is therefore
one of tbe most difficult problems
of the sheep industry. Officials
of the department are iuak ng
stud.es to see what can be done
toward preventing seasonal gluts
and shortages, aud toward in-
creasing tho popularity of mut-
ton and lamb.
Immediate prospects for both
wool and mutton consumption in
the United States seem fairly sutis
fatory. Permanent prosperity for
the sheep industry, in the opinion
of department officials, will de-
pend largely on the succe.-s attain
ed in stabilizing product on and
consumption. Hither o tho in-
dustry has usually been up iu
the clouds or dowu io tbe valley,
land it has consequently been haz-
ardous and speculative.
