LAKE COUNTY SHEEP
IN GOOD CONDITION

Conditions were never before more
favorable for the sheep industry in
Lake county than at present Owing
to the exceedingly mild winter the
sheep are in as good condition as
when taken from the summer range
last fall and as a consequence the
quality of the wool will be excellent.
The lambing season is now on, and
if the present favorable weather con-
tinues the percentage of increase will
be very heavy. Lack of water on the
desert is a problem for the sheepmen
but feed is exceptionally good and no
shortage of range is anticipated. 1t
is believed that the income from wool,
lambs and mutton in Lake county
this year will reach the $4,000, 900
mark.

pany as the day for raising the flag

basket dinner was part of the cele-
bration to which all did justice.
Last Sunday evening at the club
house, M. H. Grover, manager of the
Fruit Growers Supply company out
lined a plan whereby the employees
of the company can buy liberty bonds,
paying part down and the remainder
in payments, being financed by the

generous response, the men at camp
alone having invested $4,000. DR.. G.

rens are the soliciting committee and
the two latter gentlemen headed the
list by subscribing $1,000 each. Fiji

subscribed. Prof. E. L. Van Dellen
of Yreka gave talk at the club house
Saturday night on the Liberty bond
