SHEEP INCREASING; DOGS
DIMINISHING IN TEXAS

San Angelo. Tex. June iC.-The
treachery OF dogs. the lack OF capital
to build fences and the low prices
paid for raw wool. are the principal
reasons advanced by representative
number OF farmers OF the Southwest
as to why more sheep were not raised
in this section OF the country. Nine
hundred farmers were interviewed by
agents Of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. and over 500 OF
them stated that dogs retarded the
development OF the sheep raising in.
dustry more than any other one fac.
tor. approximately 200 farmers
claimed that the lack OF working capi-
tai prevented a general raising of
sheep. The low price OF wool was
the paramount hindrance OF sheep
production, according TO over a hun.
dred farmers. and more than fifty as
signed various other reasons for the
lack of enthusiasm by farmers in this
industry.
None OF the above conditions have
materially affected the sheep growers
OF Texas. As a rule farmers are
prosperous and are able TO provide
necessary fences. San Angelo and
Boston markets are paying tlp-top
prices for wool. and II is a rare oc-
currence for dogs to kill sheep in this
State. The latest census reports show
that there are 2,O52. 900 sheep and 23..
500 dogs in Texas. The sheep herd
has increased 100000 head during the
past Ave years and the number OF
dogs shows a decrease Of 10000.

There are two features which stand of the acreage to be planted to cot ton this year. one is that the acre age is increasing rapidly from year to year, and the other is that the zaniero solves the problem of getting at real first hand information con- ce'ning the acreage to be devoted to any particular crop.
