stance, ono of the great sheep-raising states, the
average number of sheep owned by the growers Is

we still have a few great flocks, in the entire ma
ton not to exceed fifty own 10000 head OF

Sheep Industry Valued at Vast Sum.
That the sheep and wool growers have solid
basis for their claim that this industry is Of the
greatest in the country seems to be borne out by
the returns of the last The sheep alone
were valued at $3.50 900 900. and the lands, build
ings and equipment Of the sheep owners repre-
sented $3.50, 900, 900 more thus making tho tre-
mendous total Of sos, 100000.
This is surely an item to be taken into serious
consideration by the whole American people," said
Mr. Mcclure, "and they must hesitate for very sober
consideration before taking a chance on destroying
this industry in the interest OF political expedlency
Just imagine, If you will, how the price Of mutton
keeps down the cost OF meat to the American
people. Last year the sheep slaughtered for food
purposes in the United States numbered 900 000
in round figures. Granting that these animals
dressed fifty pounds each, they gave to the con-
sumers SOC, 900 900 pounds OF mutton. This is
the cheapest meat available to the American
people. and II the sheep industry is destroyed by
removal OF the tariff, the cost Of living is bound
to be increased by an immediate raise in the sell
ing price of other meats"
As TO what the sheep Of the United States pro-
duce the following figures will be of present in
terest: First comes the wool. $50, 900 600 pounds
per year, enough to make $4,000, 600 suits OF
clothes Second is the 500 900 600 pounds OF meat.
Third is the item OF hides furnishing leather for
gloves shoes, fancy leather, book bindings and
other purposes. Even the chamos skins of COM

definite ideas as to what form the tariff SHOULD
take. lie insists that for the last half century tho
sheep industry of tho United States has been the
subject of attack from muck-rakers and politicians
who >at no time have told the people the whole
truth as to its real Importance to the nation.
81 am unable to understand" said Mr. Nc
Clure, why this industry should have been singled
out unless it be because the public has been led
to believe that the tariff upon wool has been
important factor in raising the price of the peoples
clothing. From 1916 until the present time there
has been during most of the years a tariff of one
kind or another upon imported wool At the pres
ent time the duty upon wool is 1 cents per pound
and in the stories which are given to the public
the people led to believe that this IL cents is
carried into the cost of the finished clothing. Re
CARELESS of what public belief be, the fact remains
that investigation has clearly that this tari
of II cents has resulted in increasing the price of
American wool only from to cents per pound
Therefore. in determining the influence it may
have had upon the cost of clothing il is unfair to
assume that it has been increased by II cents.
1.-THE present duty of II cents pound upon
imported wool does not give the American wool
grower protection of 1 cents, for the following
reason Wool as it comes from the sheep in the
United States is two-thirds dirt and grease and
only one-third wool; that is, if a sheep sheared
nine pounds OF wool by the time it washed and
ready be made into cloth but three pounds would
remain. In other words, American woods now
produced in the west shrink in washing 66A per
cent. Now, we have duty of IL cents per pound
wool but ii does not mean IL cents TO the west
ern wool grower, for the reason that pound OF
imported wool will yield from two to three times
as much secured wool is yielded by a pound OF
American wool. Thus, If pound Of imported WOO
shrinks 80 per cent in washing and pound Of
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1911-12-03

American wool shrinEs GO per cent in washing the
imported wool has displaced just two pounds OF
domestic WOOL and as the duty paid IL cents
the protection our grower received would be one
half of / l cents or Y cents.
1--WE must not forget that in every instance
the price paid for either domestic imported wool
is based absolutely upon the amount of secured
wool that it will yield after washing. The manu-
fac4urer does not pay for the dirt or grease that
may be in the wool, and before buying wool his
first duty is to determine the amount of secured
wool that it will yield. In this illustration have
used a pound or imported wool shrinking 30 per
cent, but woods are brought to the United States
shrinking as low as Is per cent, which you will
readily understand displaces much three
pounds of American wool, and in such cases our
protection is less than cents per pound. The
people, however, believe that It is II cents per
pound, because they do not understand the facts"
Mnny Thousands Of sheep Owners.
Touching another angle of the question secre-
tary Mcclure combatted very strongly the notion
held by probably ninety-nine out of every 100
people in the United States that the sheep industry
is owned by few barons in the far west He holds
that this belief has irreparabe injury to the
industry and points out that $40, 900 individuals
$4,000, 900 sheep reported by the last census.
There is hardly precinct in any settled county In
the United States but has some sheep No other
industry, aside from general farming, is widely
distributed through all parts OF the country Ne
braska farmers reported 1862 500 sheep to the state
bureau OF statistics last year. and this is far short
OF the real number owned in the state. Nebraska
railroads handled 1,5s27Ss sheep in 1910, accord
ing to reports to the same bureau.
THE eastern flocks are small" said Mr.. Me
Clure, but even in the west. where the sheep

MERGE are said to be largely made from sheep skin.
Hides with the wool attached are tanned and dyed
In many colors, for use rugs and q goody per-
centage also used in the making OF fur coats
From the glands of the sheep, in these modern
days, great many medicinal compounds are made.
The bones made into buttons, combs, knife
handles and other articles and the ears, head and
hoofs converted into glue. Even the "catgut"
strings Of vions are now almost entirely made OF
sheep intestnes. The sheep is immune to tuber-
cuoss, the great bane OF the cattle and hog yards
OF the nation, and is likewise proof against every
other disease transmissible to the human family
Thus the meat is universally considered healthful
and nutritious AS a matter of fact, large book
could be written the virtue of the humble sheep
as a purveyor to the needs OF man, even from the
earliest day.
Live Stock Industry Needs Conservation.

Secretary Mcclure. in discussing the great con-
vention that is soon to meet in Omaha. 1.-THE talk
is mostly about conservation of mines, trees water
powers and game, but the greatest problem in that
line is the proper conservation and development of
live stock industry"
OF schedule X he spoke freely, admitting that
the American wool-grower is asking for revision of
the tariff But he will be satisfied to receive the
difference in the cost of producing wool in this
country and abroad, taking high wages and
every other element into consideration. We have
done everything in power to enable the tariff
board to find out what 1t costs to produce wool in
this country. and all ask is that the people,
after they understand the true facts settle the
tariff in accordance with the report of the tariff
board, whatever that report may be-"
The national convention of the wool growers
will draw to Omaha large number OF of
national reputation, well practical sheep men
from all the country, The west will be espe-
cialy well represented, but the far eastern states
will also send men vitality interested in the grow
ing OF sheep for mutton and for wool. One adj

Since the Omaha wool warehouse was estab-
lished in 1908 this market has attracted more and
moro attention from the flock masters of the west
The Omaha warehouse has capacity of 100000
pounds and at the present time there is in storage
1000 600 pounds of western wool lin the grease"
The cleaning and securing is done in Chicago and
Boston, the latter point getting most of the Omaha
wool when it goes east.

GILBERT HAD GOOD MEMORY
He Never Forgot That at Harrow One
OF His Lines Was Considered
Improper.

This Gilbert story reaches me from
an old Harrovian, says a writer in the
Manchester Guardian. In 1872 the peo-
pie OF the town got up theatricais TO
raise funds for hospital. Doctor But
Ter. the head master. said he would not
allow the school to go unless the
pieces were first submitted to him.
One was Gilbert's Palace OF Truth
In II Is a passage In which the hero
says to the heroine: Meet me at
nine o'clock tonight outside the gar
den gate" Doctor Butler vetoed this
and substituted: Meet me- at three
o'clock this afternoon" This seemed
to him more decorous. About five
years ago Gilbert was invited to the
Harrow speeches. In reply to the
toast OF his health be said: II am
very much interested in visiting Har
row. for as far as know It Is the only
place In the world where q line OF
mine has ever been condemned as I'M
proper" Great CONSERVATION pre-
vailed--ali the greater because no one
except the speaker and one other per.
son, who was just leaving Harrow In
1872. knew what he meant 1t was not
Gilbert's way to forget these things.
