One of the large sheep growers, says
the San Benito Aduance, tells us that
the practice of annual sheep shearing
will become more general than it has
been in California; as the six months
clip is too short to fetch satisfactory
price among wool buyers. The grow
ing demand seems to be Tor wool of
long staple and weight, and advanced
figures obtained, besides the ready sale
it always commands, will induce many
wool growers to abandon the semi
annual clip and follow the example of
Hernandez and others of this county
in shearing but once year.
