NO SCAB IN YAKIMA COUNTY.
Inspector and Deputy Inspector Both
Make the Claim.

There is no scab among the sheep
of Yakima county. Inspector S. j.
Cameron and his deputy, James Dom
aid, have concluded their inspection
of the many bands of sheep and au-
thorized this statement today. says
the Yakima Republic. The inspection
was completed Saturday evening.
The total number of sheep inspect
ed by Mr.. Cameron and Mr.. Donald
aggregate 10000. These figures
cover the entire number of sheep in
Yakima county at the present time.
The lambing season has just opened
up, however, and Inspector Cameron
says that of the 10000 sheep $4,000
are bred ewes that will produce this
spring and swell the total number to
over 100000.
There will be i'm the hands of the
growers, when every one has sheared.
and including the amount on hand left
over from last year, more than 1,00O,-
600 pounds of wool. Now, Mr.. Cam
eron says, wool is worth all the way
he thinks that the sheepmen are in
lllle 10 get at ledSt ti1at price IL not Il
higher price, provided they hold out
for this figure.
1t can readily be seen from these
figures that come from a most relia-
BILE source, that the sheep industry
of Yakima county ranks among the
very first.
Figured in dollars and cents it will
amount this year TO approximately
81, 400, ,000 based on the following es-
Inmates of prices which are rulable at
the present time: One million
pounds of wool at 20 cents will bring
s200,00O 100000 sheep at Sc per
head amount to s1.2OO,00O. making a
total when combined of the amount
stated above.
This is the busiest month in the year
for the sheepmep. The lambing sea-
son has just begun, and they are all
busy. Hands are said to be scarce,
and this morning the sheepmen were
looking for herders and laborers on
every corner.
