CROP OF LAMBS
BELOW NORMAL
NEITHER WILL THE WOOL CRoP
BE AS HEAVY AS USUAL, MON
TANA's sHEEPMEN REPORT
NEWS OF THE CAPITAL CITY
Clay TaiIman, Commissioner General
Land Office, Rules That Carey
Act Land Tracts Are Subject
to Oil Development


Helena.-Montana lamb crop Is
lower than usual, the wool clip VIII
not be as large, and speculation Is rife
as to prices compared with last year,
according to prominent wool growers
of all parts Of the state, who are pre-
pairing to start shearing.
Similar conditions in regard to
low percentage of return on the lamb
crop are reported from Washington
and the greater sheep raising sections
of Idaho. Washington wool has been
sold under contract at 40 cents, but
the general tendency this year among
the big producers is to hold their clips
until the market is definitely estab-
Iished, rather than contract in adj
vance.
Shearers who have already arrived
in the central and western part OF
the state and are ready TO go to work
have made agreements to shear this
years clip for 175z cents head. The
average sheep shearer will clip about
100 animals day, bringing in sl7.o0
and board day during the season.
Lamb crops of the northwest are
less than last year for two reasons,
sheepmen say. They explain that not
only are there fewer sheep here this
year than last, but also the losses
were heavy in many places, due to the
cold and rainy wheather which oc-
Cured at lamhing time and that the
range lambed bands in some parts of
Idaho will not show 80 per cent in
crease. The normal increase in lambs
is from 40 to 80 per cent.
Horever, the optimistic woolgrow-
ers of Montana, who came through
the. winter with their bands in good
shape by feeding, say that they will
get good prices because the wool is
longer and of better quality than in
several years because of the better
feeding which they were compelled to
give their bands during the long win
ter. and the greater care is reflected
In better wool Southern Idaho sheep
men are getting good clip and the
clip will be fair, according
% the experts. Yakima, WASH, wool
growers sustained heavy losses in the
amb crop because of cold and rain.

Movies for Villagers

The organizers of the church Pic torial Movement have received from the Archibishops of Canterbury and York and from several diocesan bi- shops warm commendation Of their senerne, which was started a short time ago by a few West of England Chdrchmar to utilize the services uf the cinema in rural districts and small towns of England as a means of enter tainment and education.
 The enterprise has succeeded to such an extent that it is necessary, in order to meet the demand of other dioceses, to increase the plant and organization. From the first the idea of the promot- CTS has included the provision of amuse- ment and instruction for rural au1ierc- es almost at their doors and thus to establish social amenities that would assist in preventing the sdepopulation of the countryside. The movement has always been self-supporting, and in view of it's enlarged possibilities it is proposed to set apart 50 per cent Of the profits, after establishing a reserve fund, for the> benefit of institutions, funds and charities connected with the church of England.-London Times.
