The Fast Oregonidn, of Umatil.a
county, Oregon, publishes the fol
lowing items relating to the wool
clip OF that section:
Jacob Frazier, vt Birch creek,
sheared over 10000 pounds of wool
this season from his different hocks
of sheep. At 20 cents per pound
Uncle Jake will receive the nice
little sum of $4,000 for his wool
clip this year. He informs us that
he clipped 40 pounds from one four
wear old merino buck and 80 pounds
from another.
Thompson & BarnIart, five miles
below town have about $4,000
pounds as the result of the years
clip. At 20 cents per pound their
crop of wool will bring 1920
There are quiet number of other
wool growers that will have almost
an equal amount. The total pro-
ceeds of the wool clip of Umatilla
county for the year will not fall
much short of 100000 gold coin.
Reith Bros. sheared trom one
band of 1860 sheep 21,120 pounds
of wool, and average of ii pounds
5 ounces to the sheep, and from 1877
head 2,374 pounds an average of
12 pounds ounces. These were
not a picked lot of sheep but one
entire stock band and we think the
largest yield for the number in the
county. Who can beat itg
