prepared by the United States Department
of Agricul, ure.)
A material shortage in spring lambs
is indicated in advices received by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture from the western sheep country.
Figures are not available, but trained
observers say that the total lamb pro-
duction In Montana, Wyoming, Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Nevada is
only 20 per cent Of a normal crop.
Smaller Supply of Wool.
This also means a small supply of
wool. Contracting Of both wool and
lambs has reached large dimensions
during recent weeks. Numerous large
western operators are reported to be
and many sales at 8 to 10 cents a
pound are reported, with the latter
price being generally refused in Idaho,
Washington and Oregon. The price
last year was 8 to Z cents. Fleeces on
sleeps backs are selling as singh as
35 to 3S cents a pound, with some
clips including the Jericho pool clip
selling up to 40 cents.
The situation is attributed to a
shortage of ewes, the over age of
many breeding hOcks, and losses of
early spring lambs Of account Of cold
weather and the backward spring
season. A winter lamb and sheep
market higher than the trade antici-
pated, a shortage in the visible sup.
ply, and the recent sharp upturn in
wool values have created bullish
sentiment in the markets.
Money, which was tight last fall
and in the early winter, now appears
abundant and large spectators and
Western feeders are buying freely.
This fact combined with the short
crop leads many In the trade to be-
lieve that the coming summer and
fall supply of both feeding and fat
lambs at the large market centers
will be far below normal. Present con-
tiitions indicate that many lambs will

From an eight-Ounce package of
seed, introduced from Africa IN 1909
through the efforts of G. V. Piper of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, the growing of sudan grass
has rapidly increased until in 1918 the
value of the crop in the United States
was estimated to be $10,O00,0O0, and
its popularity is said to be greater
sere than in its native country. 1t is
particularly well adapted TO semi
tropical regions and the warmer parts
of the temperate zones, but it has
been grown with some success as far
north as southern Alberta. Since its
introduction by the department in this
country it has been tried with good
results in Australia, South America,
the Philippine isladns, Hawaii, Porto

few crops that give better returns and
serve SO well to supplement the per

The bulletin outlines the results of
numerous feeding experiments with
sudan grass. In these experiments
it was demonstrated that sudan gras"

other well-known hays in feeding

work horses and stock cattle.
At present, seed production Is I'M
profitable on account of low yields and
uncertain prices. Yields OF seed are
highest in western Texas and in the
irrigated regions OF New Mexico, Ari-
IONA and California. In growing the
seed a great deal Of care is necessary

LAYS WORRY ASIDE
"UncIe Jim" Unaffected by Cares
of the Day.
"Squatter" in New York City Has
Permanent Home and All His
Modest Needs Supplied.

In New York, where the h~igh-cost.
Of-living specter haunts the millions
and some millionaires, possession by
a penniless man of health. happiness
and a home on Riverside drive, with
acres of front lawn, is perhaps an ac-
complishment without precedent. Yet,
for - years, Uncle jim Miller, Man
hattan's oldest, If not only real
'squatter," has enjoyed these things
as a result of:
Just believin' in God"
Uncle jim is a negro who, on Feb
ruary 10, entered upon his seventy
third year, and IS today smilingly con
fident that he will live beyond the
century mark without the loss of his
health or physical activity. His theory
is that God will take care of anyone
who trusts Hsln. although he does not
quite carry THIS belief to the point OF
a lily-of-the-frld existence, and admits
that his health has been and will be
maintained by his physical efforts in
gathering, cutting and saving wood
for his winter fires, doing his w
washing aad cooking and otherwise
keeping his house in order.
In 1900, when what is now his front
lawn was marsh land almost on a
level with the Hudson river, Uncle
Jim was employed by a contractor
named Conway as n of "a number Of
laborers who were to fill in the
marshes lying along the Hudson's
east bank. He vas provided with
boards for a little shack which he
built with Its back against a huge
boulder. Then he aided in filling in
what is now his front yard. When
the work was completed and the con-
tractor and his men moved, Uncle
jim" having staked his claim, as he
says, decided to squat" there in
definitely.
Conway said it was all right with
him, and since then various owners OF
the property have given tacit consent
to his remaining. AS his lawn is
flled-in-land, hardly suitable for the
foundations Of houses, the old squat
ter feels secure in his possession.
The one-room shack Is now
strengthened on the river side by
sheets Of tin which resist the winter
blasts. Within is a stove, some cook
ing and eating utensils and a cot, but
"Uncle jim" spends most % his TINE
outdoors. From the Hudson he obtains
crabs and fish for his meals, and an
odd job now and then brings sufficient
change with which TO buy bread, cot
fee and tobacco.
when l came here" said Uncle
jim" this was all a wilderness. I

ing of his peculiarly serene mental
makeup.

be held in the West for fattening for
next winters market.
Some reports indicate that large
western spectators and feeders have
already contracted approximately half
the lamb crop in Idaho, Oregon, and
Washington. According to the best in
formation available, the summer mar
ketward movement from these states
will be late in getting under way, and
will probably nc reach stable pro-
portions before the last Of July or
early in August.
Lambs Had Poor Start.
Ewes wintered poorly and because
Of the backward spring were not only
late getting on the range, but started
the grazing season In poor flesh, with
the result that February lambs, the
crop of which was more nearly nor
NAL than that of later lambs, had a
poor start.
The April lamb crop is very short,
according to all reports. Many flock
masters tried to lamb the April crop
on the open range, but cold weather
caused heavy losses. Breeding flocks
are seriously over aged, but there Is
ar acute shortage of young stock and
II Is believed that a very attractive
market Will be necessary to draw any
large quantity of breeding flocks TO
the shambles. Young ewes are In
strong demand all over the. West and
bids of So to $12 a head have not
brought our many. 1t seems certain
that very few young western ewes
will reach market centers during the
coming season.
