The coming wool clip of Morrow
county promises not only to be heavy
but OF prime quality. Conditions dur
ing the past year have been very favor
able for the sheep. There has been
plenty of feed and sheep have been
kept in fine condition during the entire
season. There is good feeling among
wool interests owing to the encouraging
outlook of the wool market.
Ben Swaegart was in from his big
stock ranch Sunday. Mr.. Swaggart
brought in fine Norman stallion and
one OF lis fine jacks. Mr.. Swaggart
Brought these animals to sell and they
can now be seen at Gordon's stable.
Mr.. Swaegart explained many of the
advantages of stock bred in this coun-
try over the imported animals that are
brought here and sold for high prices.
This country being natural home for
the horse the animals bred here show
greater strength and endurance and be-
ing acclimated the risk IN buying them
is much less than in horses that are i'm
ported.
The Wallowa county clip for this sea-
son is practically all sold. Koshland &
Company were the buyers and the price
was 16 cents per pound. Wallowa
county's extreme isolation from rail-
road transportation was a great factor
Ia bringing about the sales. When the
buyers first appeared the price Of 16
cents was alluriLe to some of the larg-
est owEets of wool and they contracted.
This made the smaller growers feel that
they would be left without a sufficient
amount of wool to induce buyers to
come in in the spring and consequently
let 60 of their holdings when they could
be assured of good price. In Morrow
county the Gazette does not know of
81 gle lot of wool that has been co.,
tracted on the sleeps back. The
growers here are content with the feel
ing that if big prices prevail they want
the benefit and will not be tied up with
a binding contract whel the time comes
to sell.
