.ARZ0NA'S TEN MILLION

 REPRESENTED AT THE FAIR

cause of their fine wool and partly be- cause of their peculiar habit of band ing together which makes them the
 best sheep for the range. The number of sheep in Arizona is increasing each year, and now is nearly two-million
 head Some of the older sheep states are falling behind in the number of
 sheep, so that Arizona bids fair soon to
 be in the front rank as a sheep state.
 For the first time. a sheep specialist has been employed from outside the
 state to judge the sheep. Prof. J. NJ. Jones of College Station Texas, was selected because of the fact that he has i had wide experience in all phases of the sheep industry and in his work at the Texas College of Agriculture and experiment stations, he has had an op portunity to become familiar with range sheep. His work in judging has been closely observed by the sheep
 men, and he has been able to give them many valuable pointers, which will meanImore money to the sheep owners. f It Is hardly necessary to say that his awards have been entirely satisfactory The exhibits of the Ramboillets made by the Daggs brothers of Williams and the Grand Canyon Sheep Go. of Flag ! staff are attracting no little attention. These fine wool sheep with their beau tifully curving horns are well worth going miles ot see,. but they are only
 part of the big exhibit at the sheep barns.
 Possibly the black faced sheep from the Sanford Sheep Co. of Seligman are ] just as attractive. These represent the
 mutton type of sheep. and some lamna
 are shown here which weigh 115 pounds each. An exhibit of sheep from his flock running on the range in Paradise valley are shown by James Bemis. These are Persians and Tuns and crosshreeds of these breeds One old
 eve, just a common native sheep. not competing for prize. is shown which 1 has returned her owner over forty dol | lars. in the past three years. ! The goats both Angoras and Swiss
 milch are there. The Angoras are
 shown by F. T. Pomeroy of Mesa, and
 the milch goats by A. F.. Mason and
 Son. The latter also have a few spec linens of the Anglo Nubian breed
 which may be more pleasing to some
 than the Swiss Following is the list
