Sheepmen of this section are becoming
little uneasy over reports which come
in from the west deserts to the effect
that there has been a drought there dur
ing almost the entire summer, and that
in consequence of the dryneSS feed is ex-
tremely poor. The mountains where the
herds are feeding now are quite dry also,
and the sheep will not be in as good con-
dition as desirable when they leave for
the deserts. Early and heavy fall rains
will prove very beneficial for the feed
and alleviate the present unfavorable
condition somewhat, but feed will be COM
paratiVely poor in any event for the COM
ing winter.
