TEN PER CENT OF SHEEP
IN WORLD OWNED IN U. S.
DR.. John r. Mohler's Estimate,
Made in Address on the Grow
ing Of Wool.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. April 3e.-It
is practically certain that the United
States has about 10 per cent Of all
the sheep Of the world. despite the
fact that tho sheep situation of the
world today Is = confusing knot of
condicting factors. DR.. John r.
Mohler of the Department of Agricul-
turs told the Wool As
sociation here today in an address
Raising sheep for wool alone. or
for wool principally. must eventu-
ally give way as 4 farm practice to
the double-purpose animal said DR..
Mohlsr. who il chief of the bureau
Of animal industry Of the depart
msnt. He called attention to the
comparatively small proportion of
mutton that is eaten in the United
States, with the possibility that the
consumption of that meat may be
largely increased, not to the detri-
mont Of beef and pork. but to take
the place Of meat products that have
been imported from other countries.
He urged that tho cost Of pro-
duoing sheep products be kept low
80 that the price factor would at
tract customers rather than repel
them, and said that the average
American household consumes only
about i've pounds Of mutton or lamb
in g. year as against sevonty-one
pounds of pork and sixty-seven Of
beef.

OUSLEYDEFENDS
COTTON growers

The demand that antitrust action
be brought against the Southern Cot
ton Growers Association was char
acterized as absurd" today by Clar-
ence ousley, Actingt Secretary OF the
Department of Agriculture.
The demand for prosecution was
made to the Department Of Justice
by Governor Allen of Kansas, who
ganiZing to reduce this years cotton
raw cotton.
"You cannot indict a whole people, {"
said Ousley, who stated the Agricul-
turaI Department will continue advis-
ing Southern farmers to plant more
corn and foods needed on Southern
farms.
Planting more corn in the South
can only be done at the expense Of
the cotton acreage.
No OfnciaI Announcement.
The Department Of Justice so far
has made no official announcement of
what it plans in reply to Governor
Aliens demand.
"The Southern farmers" said Gus
ley, "are merely trying to keep cot
ton production within the limits OF
demand.
"Of course, nothing will come Of
this proposal to prosecute them. They
are merely trying in self-defense to
prevent accumulation of a vast sur
plus OF cotton which would result in
a heavy loss to them in their chief
business"
Ousley also cited two sections OF
the Sherman antitrust act which, he
said. make impossible the prosecu-
tion of farmers organizing to pre-
vent ruinous business conditions
from arising.
In one section the act specifically
exempts from prosecution farmers
who may organize societies, not in
tended for profit, to maintain "fair
and reasonable prices" for their
products, he said. In another section
it is specifically stated money appTo-
priated for administration OF the law
shall not be used to prosecute farm
ers who are members of such organi-
cations.
'If the 1919 cotton acreage is equal
to that of 1918, more cotton will be
available than there is a demand
for" said Ousley. AT least, the con-
dition OF the world market would
seem to indicate that. The Agricul-
tural Department has pointed this out
to Southern farmers without making
any specific recommendation that
the 1919 acreage be decreased
Neither is the department urging any
agreement to reduce the acreage.
But II farmers choose to plant more
Of other crops which they need for
their own uses on their farms it's
absurd to think they can be indicted
for it"
