Now, we will let loose the lambs and

ewes will shear as many pounds the
first week In April as ever after. Why?
Because the longer you wait after
Landing the less oil you have In fleece.
Besides the eve, as soon as the lamb
begins 20 draw pretty heavy on her
for milk, begins to shed locks OF wool.
Then again the flow OF oil ceases TO
pour out In the fleece. so the fleece
becomes air dried and harsh. This
causes the fiber 10 cease growing for

lambs must be started before that OF

good reason for shearlng early Is Sc
that the fleece will get some little start
before the scorching suns blister the
skin and affect the roots Of the wool.
