The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1908-03-19

financial depression incident to the Ban
kers troubles last fall. He opposes un-
alterably the introduction of sheep to
range on the public domain but sees no
harm in people experimenting on their
land, if they stay there. At
that it takes labor and invest ments in
corrals and shed to feed the sheep. Will
North Park haymen do the work, espec.
ia!y when no bonanza? If sheep are
allowed on the open range in North
Park the Wyoming crowd will buttin in
the Summer and take the feed and leave
us nothing to feed our hay to in the
winter. II they get the reserves for
sheep also it will end the cattle business
1t is more conservative and sensible
policy to let them experiment for few
years on their own land first This year
Senator Drake says the sheep feeders
will lose about 81 per head Cattle can
look for an inning soon. Beef is getting
scascer all the time OF late years peo.
pie have been going out of the beef
growing industry Beef is bound to
rise rs horses have. The time was a few
years ago when man could buy horses
for one fourth of what he has to pay for
the same animals now. They all want
ed cattle. Cattle was high. Now sheep
are high and they want to so into sheep.
Sheep are getting plentiful and must
come down. Wyoming, Montana, and
Utah are all sheep country. Texas is
out of both cattle and sheep and into
farming. The tariff on wool keeps up
sheep. We do not know what is going to
hap en- to that tariff after election next
fal! and still lot of people want to go
into the sheep business. That is their
b2einess and they are entitled to do as
thy please so long as they stay on their
own land with it and do not cripple
other and better established industries.
