BETTER LAMB METHODS
FOR THE SOUTHWEST

ALBUQUERQUE. n. M. Feb. 20
THAT more scientific lambing me-
thods are essential TO the greatest
productiveness in the sheep-raising
industry is the gist of the conclu-
sions arrived at after long study by
a grazing specialist of the Forest
Service The manner in which
this improvement can be brought
about is described in the following
article.
The time was when the sheep in
dustry in Arizona and New Mexico
cid not justify the extra expense
necessary to properly care for ewes
and their young during the lambing
period; but suddenly conditions are
changed. Prices are high for both
mutton and wool The open range
is gone. Sheep men must make
more money from smaller herds and
must run their sheep on mvre re-
stricted range. This means that
instead Of lambing wherever feed
and water not only for the favor
able seasons, but for those dry and
backward springs which come all
too often in the Southwest. In adj
dition. they must reckon with one
or more severe storms each month
during the spring until the last of
May. The important items in sue
cessful Landing are plenty Of feed
and water. and protection against
storms and predatory animals.
The Forest Service has been in
terested in working out in co-opera-
ton with st0ckmen method of
Landing which would most success
fully meet the conditions that pre-
vail on the open ranges Of the high
er mesas and mountains in the south.
