RAM SALE NOT
AS GOOD AS IN
FORMER YEARS
Market Situation MItigates Against
Big Demand for Rams Of
Type Offered

Despite the depressing condition OF
the wool and sheep markets, over a
thousand head OF pure bred rams
and ewes, valued at $4,000 were
sold at the third annual ram sale OF
the Southern Idaho Woolgrowers'
Association. held at the county fair
grounds here Thursday and Friday
OF last week
Many buyers were in attendance
from all over southern Idaho, and
some OF the foremost breeders OF
the state had consignments Good
crowds attended both sessions of the
sale.
A ram consigned by Ivor T. Ed
wards OF Kimberly. topped the sale
at 500. This was an outstanding
individual. One OF the chief rea-
sons for the comparative small de-
mand for rams OF the type offered at
the sale. is said TO be the tendency
on the part of te breeders to use
their old rams, instead OF buying
new stock. They say that the pres
ent condition OF the markets do not
warrant such investments.

This Is the opinion OF l.. w Flu

be a deficit OF 2ll,0eO. 900 bushels.
Idaho's wheat crop is estimated 40

said IL would probably be a wise step
for the farmers to hold their wheat
