NEVADA DESERT NOT
PROMISING FOR SHEEP
Conditions on Winter Range Reported
to Be in Exceedingly Poor
Condition.

Salt Lake. Sept 9.-V. NJ. Pratt
has just returned from somewhat
extended visit at Callao. Utah, and VII
cinity. While out In that region he
spent considerable time on the Great
American desert, making observations
as TO conditions there. He says that
the outlook for winter sheep grazing
on the desert Is extremely bad. Not
withstanding the fact that heretofore
many flocks were taken on the desert
from Idaho and Wyoming. as well as
from other localities In Utah. 10 win
ter. the prospect is that no such sheep
exodus will occur this year.
Mr Pratt says that the extremely
dry season has left the range In an
impoverished condition. denuded of
vegetation and giving 10 the desert
the appearance OF fire-swept plain
1t Is reported by flockmasterS, he
says. that not In twenty years has the
CuClook been so uninviting to the
sheep man Already hundreds OF
sheep\ have died. and there Is grave
apprehension that further great Losses
Will be sustained
In addition to the fact that the
Ilockmasters Will be obliged to re-
sort to feeding this winter, the stu
alton is rendered the more difficult
N the circumstance that no feed can
be purchased anywhere within rea-
sonable reach OF the desert and its
herds All in all says Mr. Pratt,
the prospect is drear. indeed.
