F. L. Culver and brother, w. II.
Culver are shearing 1000 sheep, Chas.
Macdonald foreman. The great drop
in the price of wool has affected the
sheep business seriously but with
sheep, as with other business PROPOSE
tions, the Imperial valley comes to
the rescue. Sheep can be fattened
on Imperial valley alfalfa at one-half
the expense necessary Utah and
other sheep states and Mr.. Culver
will ship in some ten thousand to fit
for the market for mutton at profit,
as sheep can be fully fattened for
market here in ninety days.
F. L. Culver, of Heber, starts soon
for Parowan, Utah, to sell some prop
erty there, intending to invest the
proceeds in Imperial valley land.
