sheep % shearing age acnttered over
2.h0f ranches and farms. wherens IN
1919 there were 2.ssf.8s4 sheep on

but the figures show that despite
the fact that there were less sheep
of shearlng agc IN 1919 than IN 1900,
the production OF wool has been al.
most half as great indicating that
more careful shcaring is done. that
better sheep are produced and that
the demand for all grades Of wool h
better.
In 1910 New Mexico marketed a.
9si.0i7 pounds of wool and received
therefor S3.t3i.p7i. as against 10
2oa. 1919 pounds ten years ago which
sold for ff,sss.t7i.
These figures Indicate also that the
