Last Season Was d Banner iear-lnorease
in Herds and Clips.

IGreu Falls Trbune,l
The report Of the state board OF
sheep commissioners being compiled
from the data furnished 10y the COM
missioners in the various counties OF
the state will show "A remarkable Diff
ference In several features Of thesheep
industry as compared with former
years. In round numbers the total
Of sheep on hand March last was
ncarIy 100000. The number OF
lambs was about 1918, 600, or nearly
80 per cent Of the total number of
sheep, an increase OF 800, 900 over the
year 1900. This remarkable difference
in the lamb crop was due largely to
the extremely favorable season.
One notable feature of the year was
the fact that there was more wool
either consigned or unsOld than dur
ing any previous year in the history
OF the sheep industry Of the state.
More than half Of the wool clip Ofthe
state was consigned to eastern COM
mission houses at an average price
of from II to II cents Il pound. This
II n strong contrast with the preced-
ing year, when at the close OF the
season there was less wool In the
state than ever before known, owing
to the great activity in the market.
But last year in July and August the
market was so dull that the sheep
men refused to sell and either held
their wool or consigned it To eastern
firms.
There was n big increase in the
number of pounds OF wool clipped
over the previous year. There were
q, 900, 900 pounds in 1901. against 49,
500, 900 In 1900. This brings the aver.
age up to nearly ven pounds head
for the production OF woolin thestate
last year.
