cents a pound. The clip was ~, 600
pounds against %, 900 pounds in
the previous year, an average of sew
en- pounds per head for each animal
sheared. The increase is partly due
to the usG of shearing machines.

and Valley counties sold their clip
on contract early in 1900 at prices as
high as twenty cents, while the mar
ket was high, but the average for the
rest Of the state was only about IAN
cents. There were shipped into the

LANDING SEASON..
Sheepmen Anticipate a Big Crop
The Wool Outlook.

The sheepmen of This section are
making preparations for a big Landing
season which begins about May l.
Although the price of wool is low, they
have hopes Of having a successful
LANDING season, which is sure to fol-
low if the weather is good. A good
lamb crop will, in a measure, make
up for what the flockmaster will lose
from a low price for wool.
Following the lambing season will
come the shearng,, which will be a
big thing i'm Montana this year, owing
to the many sheep on the ranges. In
many localities the shearing will be
done by machines, but there will be
enough work for hand shearers as
well. The probable price for the hand
shearing will he Z cents per head with
board, or 8 cents without board
