Church says that during the year the
dogs destroyed about $500 worth Of
sheep and lambs. He is great be-
lever in the sheep industry and will
continue to run large flock of

the fact that the country is in need
Of all the wool that can possibly be

Gen. Crowder has estimated that

mortality presents a great contrast
with those of earlier periods, particu-
larly with the losses Of 1898 per
1000 in 1851 144 per 1000 in 1897,
and 1899 per 1000 in 1914, years
marked BY severe outbreaks Of hog

reduction from the normal low rate of
losses which has remained slightly
above so per 1000 when the disease
was least prevalent.

The marked reduction in the losses
Of swine in 1918 over preceding per-
