Clinton county in 1894 had S0.T8t
sheep, In '95 she was reduced 10 B6,53i
sheep. The average clip In these years
was a triAe over six pounds per head.
Reports from various supervisors show
that she is 30 per cent short Of last
years report. This. of course, reduces
the quantity of wool In the same ratio
As TO the breeding, many OF the farm
ers have abandoned 1t, having sold ev-
cry sheep on the place. Some who have
a few are not breeding at all, and the
reason given is that sheep and wool
are so cheap that they will not pay for
pasturing.
In regard to prices OF wool at the pres
ent time, the st. ohn's market for fine
tnwashea wool Is from to Sc per
pound; for fine washed, 3 TO lie. Coarse
upwashcd, 10 TO 19c; coarse washed, IL
to lTc. 1t is very interesting to a wool
grower when he compares prices now
with two and four years ago. In 'S2
wool was bringing on the 9Th day OF
June Csc for medium washed; u1-
washed from 16 to zoe: unwnshed fine
wool II to tSc, and for very fine lots as
high as &c, and as my business calls
me through GralEnd county nearly ev-
cry week, / find the wool conditions
about the same In that county as this
(Clinton), and there Is no prospect OF
It's being any better. r. b. CARusS.

GREENFIELD. o. May %, 1896
Editor Of Wool and Cotton Reporter
The wool clip in our section Is fully
one-thlrd short. The quality is very
good. Very few ewes were bred IN our
section this last fall, and there have
not been one-half as many lambs as
usual this spring. In fact. many small
sheepmen have sold out clean, and in
looking UP the wool business was
surprised 10 find MANY reliable sheep
rIlsers without n sheep.

am Of the opinion that the clip IS
considerably less than last year, on ac-
count OF many having reduced their
flock, and others having sold out en-
tlrely, and the low price OF wool this
year promises a still further curtait-
rnent Of nocks The average amount
OF the clip per sheep is about the same

here, and that means better grade of
wool gradually being produced. AS TO

wool in this county has already been
sold, principally to Louisville dealers,

living upon the rivers and creeks IN this
valley particularly. for raising these
commodities, and that the profits aceru
ing from early fowls would be quite as
tonishing 10 many who had never given
the subject due regard.
Mr. Platz has been all through the
southwest. from Galveston up, and as
far west as San Antonio and beyond,
but finally settled upon this point as the
best locality in which TO obtain the de-
sired products. This locality has here
tofore been unable 10 dispose of any
thing Ike the poultry in particular
which was raised. but with this COM
pany no difficulty hereafter may be ex-
perienced. They expect 10 establish
numerous sub-StatiOns within a radius
OF loo miles, where produce may be
bought up and shipped TO the main
house here after which ii is shipped
east.
This should encourage the farmers
and poultry rdisers TO raise good fowls
and 70 be able 10 supply the demand
for the early market. from which the
greatest profit is realized.
This company means business, as is
signified by the fact that they have so
carefully investigated every point in the
business. both here and at other places
not only. but they have also purchased
a piece of real estate with a building
thereon in which 10 carry on their enter
prise; instead of renting some out-of-the
way store-room for awhile and max
ing a bluff at permanency. This kind
of thing the farmers of southern Kan
sas are extremely tired OF. and viii
heartily welcome the change. There
has heretofore been laTg amounts OF
poultry, butter, etc. produced in this
locality, which, upon being brought TO
market, usually found the market glut-
ted with very much greater amounts
than the demand and consequently they
were forced TO take almost nothing or
be compelled to take il back home. But
the advent Of this company will I'M
doubtedly revolutionize this state OF
things. and when the producer has a
good article to place upon the market
he will have no trouble in disposing OF
it, and the saying will then be strictly
true that "a good article is laways
worth a good price"
