STOCK PRICES EFFECT
|. DUcKWATER RANcHERs

T. +. McGeary, merchant Of Duck
water. was an Ely visitor Thursday.
says the Record, and states that large
bands of sheep from the north are
passing through that section on their
way to the far south for the Winter.
During recent years thousands of
sheep have been held in that section
and fed during the Winter, which
made a good market for local hay.
And In all previous years hundreds Of
head of beef cattle were fed there
during the Winter. but this business
has also been discontinued for the
reason that there is no market for
cattle. AS consequence there is NO
market for hay, and the ranchers will
be compelled to hold this years crop
for another year and take chances on
a future market.
The sheepmen have been hit very
hard by the slump In the wool mar
ket, and at the present time cannot
afford to feed their herds through the
Winter months, and II hard Winter
comes many OF them will be practic-
ally wiped out and compelled to quit
the business. Bands of sheep, which
were worth from SIS to $50 per head
two years ago, cannot be sold now
at SIS, hence their owners will not be
able to borrow money. and therefore
cannot buy hay to feed their stock
through the long Winter months.
Their only hope to survive the de-
preston and pull through until pro-
tective tariff can be passed, is a mild
and open Winter, and this also ap-
plies to cattle growers who depend
upon the range. Cattlemen who have
alfalfa pastures of sufficient import
ance to feed their stock will 60 on
through without losses, except In the
value Of their stock.
The rancher has also been hit pret-
ty hard because of the fact that last
season he was compelled to pay from
SO to 81 per day for labor, while all
other expenses Of running ranch
we're In like proportion. But his hay
will keep, and as general thing they
are in pretty good financial condition
and will wsather the storm without
heavy losses.
