A Big Lamb Crop.

Reports from different sections
of New Mexico indicate that the
lamb crop this year will be above
the average Notwithstanding the
fact that the cold weather during
the latter part of April and the first
half of May caused the death of thou
sands of lambs.
1t is believed that the percentage
of lambs this year will not fall below
90 per cent. In some localities
it will be in excess of 100, while in
other localities where the lambs
were being dropped during the
cold weather last month the percen-
tage a low.
The rangers are in good condition
now and the outlook is favorable
for a good year for sheep raisers.
