Our Threatened Sheep
Industry
by Frederic j. Haskin

Washington, y. G. Jan. 24.---What
fhreaters this country today, rs q result
of the low price for wool and few buyers
at any price, is damage to the wool
growing industry in the United States
which 1t would take many years to re-
pair.
This point was brought out by ID. A.
Spencer Of. the Bureau of Animal Indus
try here, who has charge of the govern
ment work in improving breeds Of sheep.
Wool prices have been inordinately
high for several years. Now Mt last they
have come down, forcing the price OF
clothing down with them.
'Iet them stay down" you are inclined
to say. THE wool-growers have had sew
eral good years. They should now be
able to weather little adversely.
The answer to this seems to be that
thoy are not able to weather the period
Of adversity which they now must face,
without substantial help of some kind.
The wool-grower, according TO govern
ment men, did not make large profits
during the war. In faot, the grower OF any
commodity in this country seldom makes
large profits unless he is also broker or
dealer of some kind. 1t is the nature OF the
industrial system that the largest profits
are made by distributors, not producers.
Thus wool before the war was bringing
the producer about 80 cents pound.
During the war it brought him about 60
cents for the, same grade But at the same
time the wages he had to pay TO herders,
the price of feeds, and all the other ex-
penses doubled or more than doubled.
Most of the growers were fairly prosperous
for two or three years. A few of the large
operators perhaps made big money. Some
growers, by reason of unfavorable wealth
er conditions, lost money. But whatever
may have happened to Fortunate or un-
| fortunate individuals, the wool-growert
as class did not make more than fan
percentage on their investments.
A DEAD MARKET
| Then came the drop in the price o
wool Wool is now hard TO sell at any price
| and 25 cents n pound is considered good
| price. But the wool-grower can scaroel,
| produce wool at that figure. Al last wInte
his expenses of production were at war
time level. In addition TO that, in man,
sections he faced unfavorable weathet
conditions. Now his wool clip for the yea
cannot be sold at anywhere near what ]
cost him to produce it, II II can be sol'
at all At the same time, he has no
money enough to stay out of the marke
until conditions improve.
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1921-01-24

Especially in this true when you con-
slider how uncertain it Is when conditions
will improve IL is said That there rs
enough wool in this country now 10 supply
all of our needs for nearly two years.
| And. with wool on the free list, more wool
il pouring into the country all the time.
In Australia, in the Argentine, il south
Africa, there arc enormous quantities OF
wool which seek market In this country
because Europe has not money enough 10
buy it. Wool can perhaps be produced
somewhat more cheaply IN those countries
than in this, but primarily the flow OF
foreign wool to this country IL due TO
conditions created by the war--to the
impoverishment of Europe and TO tho
rate of exchange.
For example. American buyers can
now buy wool in New Zealand for 2s cents
n pound. But tho rate of exchange is such
that about 20 cents in American money
will buy pound of wool in New Zealand
Hence American buyers are buying the
New Zealand wool and storing 1t against
the rise in price which must eventually
come And the American wool-Rrower
cannot produce wool at 20 cents pound,
much less sell it for that.
SHEEP MEN QUIT.
What is the result7 The result IS that
sheep men are going out OF the sheep
business, that we are being put in the way
of becoming dependent upon importa-
tions for our wool.
Before the war, the sheep industry in
this country faced difficulties. Western
range areas were being cut down by the
taking up of homesteads for farming
The wool industry faced a change. II was
evident that sheep had TO be raised on
smaller areas of range, and had to be
given more fodder. In order to mako this
paw, the breeds had to be improved, SO
that each sheep would produce more
wool. and SO pay for his keep. This pro-
cess, was going forward nicely before and
during the war Sheep men who made a
little more money than usual were invest

ing it In pure bloodcd rams 10 improve
their stock. At the Government sheep
experiment station Ut Dubois, Idaho, ex-
pcriments were being conducted in the
production of 4 type of sheep which should
combine AS far as possible tho hardhood
Of the native stock with the wool-produc-
ing qualities Of the p,ire-bred sheep.
Some success had been attained along that
line, and the more enterpTising sheep rnrn
were following the government lead.
Now al Of this slow and careful work
ioward putting the American wool-grow-
ing industry on n permanent and scien-
tifc baeis is being rapidly imdonc. Sheep
men arc sending their sheep, blooded and
otherwise, to the slaughter house. Most
of thcm can do nothing else. They have
got TO quit raising sheep and raise some
thing else. or take Jobs One man recently
Hcld his herd Of 1000 sheep. He had no
choice. He could not sell his wool. He
could not stay in the sheep business and
continue to eat. So he cold his sheep for
about 10 head. When all expenses
had been paid, he had about 30 cents
head for his sheep This was not profit.
1t WAS his net return on sheep which u
had cost him nine or ten dollars a head
70 raise. He was ruined man.
SHEEP BEtN1 PLAEbHTTHbD.
And not only little herds like this ono,
but large herds Of l0and 20 thousand sheep
are being wiped out Of existence. II is this
fact which constitutes a crisis in the
American wool industry. The wool
grower is the chief sufferer But the whole
country will suffer II such a valuable
economic asset ne its wool-gowing in
dustry is damaged as badly as now seems
inevitable.
II is emphasized that the question ]. not
primarily question Of thrift. The wool
situation IL due To various abnormal con-
tions which grew out Of the war. II is
due to over-production in this country, 20
the inability Of Europe TO buy wool, 70 an
abnormal rate Of exchange. After these
abnormal conditions have passed, IL IL ad-
nitted, there will be no more need for a
high tariff on wool than there was before

MUST RESPECT LAWS.
Rev. Charles L. Candec Outlines the
True Ameris An Idea.

Declaring the apparent widespread
Haunting and ridiculing OF the Nolstead
act will instill in the minds OF the Young
manhood and womanhood of the country
a contempt for all laws, Rev. Charles L.
Candec, speaking on the subject OF Laws
The volstead Act and Others, ut the
Vcsper service Of Westminster Presbyterian
Church Yesterday, said those who, are
urging the breaking Of this law are dong
more to create Bolshevism IN she United
States than the best-laid propaganda.
81 am not speaking about the liquor
question, /" he declared, ~ am not speak
ing for or against prohibition--that is an
established TACT I am speaking of law,
a law written into the constitution OF our
country" The undermining OF one law,
he asserted, will be followed by the un,
dermining Of other laws, eventually all
laws
IL is time people woke up and upheld,
not only some, but every law that Is law
of the land, he said in cloding, urging his
hearers to do their best in upholding the
dignity Of the country and its laws.

ARDEN ROADS CLOSED.
So That the Colony Can Retain Title
Therein.

Visitors to Arden yesterday were sur
prised to find that the colonists had
shut off tho various roads running
through the colony from the county
highway. Entrances to these roads were
roped off and notices posted, signed by the
three trustees, reading: CLOSED to tho
public The notices were signed by the
trustees, r.. F. Woolery, Mrs. Il. Ross
and W. T.. Sweeting
1t was learned that the notices were n
move on the part of the trustees to thwsrt
operation of the law making roads which
have been used by the public continuously
for years the property of the State. Ar
denites have built and maintained these
roads, or streets, and it was learned, pre-
fer to continue doing so rath er than per
nit the county to acquire them. The post
ing of notices excluding the public has
been resorted 70, and will probably be
maintained only long enough to enable
the colonists legally to retain and maintain
their own roads.
