state, and will continue into June,
some owners waiting until after lam3-
ing season is over before taking up
that line of their work. Not many

who have come have started the rrioes
at from IS cents to % cents, but At
that figure not many growers are let
ting go. The sheen losses in some
portions Of the northwest were heavy
for the winter, and this is believed to
be enough of a factor to reduce tie
supply to a point where the owners
expect a better price later in the sea-
son than they are now being oferad
at the opening. The loss in some Sec
tons of this state were severe, brit thu
state has not suffered any such loss
as was met by the wool groves at
Wyoming and Montana in the severe
weather of last winter.
