SOME FACTS AND FIGURES q
ON THE SHEEP INDUSTRY
By Embach Secretary Arizona Wool Growers Association
before the Flagstaff Rotary Club

aginians practiced sheep breeding and
wool manufacturing to a considerable
extent.
At later date, Spain developed a
great sheep and wool manufacturing
industry, probably started there by
the Romans as it was in England, and
what is more important, Spain gave
to the world the Merino breed of
sheep which was improved upon by
King Louis the 18th of France on his
experimental farm at Rambouillet,
France, and the improved Spanish
Merino became the Rarnbouillet sheep.
Most of our Arizona sheep are of the
Rambouillet strain, and in fact most
of the wool of highest quality, pro-
duced in the world comes from sheep
of Merino breeding, either Spanish
Merino, Rambouillet or Delaine.
Sheep were introduced into the east
ern part of the United States with the
settlement of the English colonies, the
first sheep to reach the colonies being
landed at Jamestown in 1909 Sheep
had hard time getting foothold in
the colonies, owing to climate and
range conditions. In 1866 in order to
increase the flocks sufficiently to
clothe the people, Connecticut exempt
ed sheep for a number of years from
taxation and gave them exclusive pas
ture rights. Going farther, every

wool, 2ery crimpy and serrated, it has
high felting quality that br4gs 1T
into quite little demand from the
clothing manufacturers.
The main difference between wor-
steds and woolens is due principally
to the manner in which the yarns used
in each class, are spun. In the spin
ming, the fibres are arranged as near
ly parallel as possible. In wooden
yarns, the fibres are crossed in every
direction SO as to assist in the felting
or milling of the cloth. As you know,
the principal worsted cloth is serge,
while the softer wooden cloths include
tweeds, cheviots, broadcloths, etc.
Shoddy, which is made of woolen
rags and waste, enters into the COM
position of all but the very finest
woolen yarns, but cannot be used in
the manufacture of worsted yarns un-
der the English system, and right here
let me say, that until the Caoper-
French Truth-in-fabric bill, or a bill
similar to it, is passed, making it COM
pulsory upon manufacturers to stamp
their cloth with the content of virgin
or new wool, you will never know
whether the suit of clothes you pur-
chase are one hundred per cent vir-
gin wool or whether they contain
large percentage of shoddy.
Now, word or two as to the
amount of wool in the ordinary suit
of clothes, and the price of the wool.
Every time a demand is heard
throughout the country for reduced
clothing prices, general move is
made in New York and Boston to
blame high priced wool for the cur
rent high prices Of mems wear cloth
ing. The fallacy of this is easily seen
when it is understood that only about
siXty-two ounces of clean wool are
contained in a suit made from 16-
ounce cloth, which is the average
weight used. If the cloth were manu-
factured entirely out Of virgin wool,
the cost Of the wool in the three and
a half yards of cloth necessary to
make the suit would only amount to
4 about S4. If the cloth is high-grade
worsted, the mills would sell same at
not to exceed three dollars per yard
based on this springs cloth prices,
or a total cost for the cloth to the
purchaser from the mill, at not to ex-
Cteu eiSNeH OI CWSlN6 uoIldISs IL youA
suit is made from woolen cloth in
stead of worsted cloth, there is liable
to be anything in the cloth besides
wool and of course should not cost as
much per yard as the warsted. Of
course there are multitude Of opera
tions entering into the final price of
a suit of clothes, and am not going
into that subject. just want to point
out the fact that the price of wool
has very little to do with the price of
the finished suit of clothes.

/ am going to present to you few
facts and figures on the sheep and
wool industry Of our state and courl-
try; an industry that you should know
something about because its products
play an important part IN your daily
lives and also because the United
States ranks as one of the leading
wool producing countries of the world.
Arizona ranks as number thirteen on
the list of heavy producing states of
the union, with an annual clip of ap-
proximately five million pounds of
wool figured on the grease basis, or
little over two million pounds of
secured or clean wool.
The raising of sheep and the use of
wool for domestic purposes goes back
so far in antiquity, that historians are
unable to tell us whether man pre-
ceeded sheep on the earth or whether
sheep were here first. Vie do know
that sheep were raised in biblical
times and that the Romans and Garth
The Coconino sun., 1924-07-04

or older, gwas required to work one
day each year clearing away under
brush to Z xtend the area of sheep
pasture. At about the same time Mas
sachusettg and other colonies either
followed similar methods or reduced
the assessm nts to almost nothing in
order to incr ,ase the production.
In the EASTERN states the industry
continued to i. .acrease until 1910, when
the westward movement OF sheep
started. and between 1910 and 1860,
the decline in {, astern sheep popula-
tion was almosl startling. After
1860. the decline continued, but not SO
fast. until 1910. Ssince 1910 the sheep
population east t,f the Mississippi
river has remaine1l almost constant
From the time the westward move
ment started, westet flockmakers be-
gan devoting their !. lttention to wool
production rather thu N to the raising
of mutton, while the eastern farmers
continued to raise Sd leep prlnclpally
for mutton purposes. VI late years

In 1860 there were "a million sheep

the foundation stock for these sheep
being degenerate Mexican breed de-
sended from sheep brought to Mexico
by the Spaniards, much earlier than
the introduction of sheep in the Eng
lish colonies. BY the time we got
them in Arizona, however, they had
been considerably bred up. 1t is in
teresting to note at this time, that
sheep and the domestic manufacture
of wool were firmly established il.
Mexico early in the 10th century.
The census of 1870 shows Arizona
with 1000 head of adult sheep. In
1910 the census gives us $4,000 head
valued at three an half million dol
lars, while the 1920 census shows
$1,000 sheep with a valuation of over
seven million dollars. A decrease in
number, but an increase in valuation.
From estimates on December 81, 1923,
it would appear that there has been
slight decline in both number and
valuation. Today the sheep industry
of Arizona represents a capital in
vestment of approximately Is million
dollars. The foregoing figures do not
include Navajo sheep of which there
are large number in the northern
part of the state.
Wool

world is now about % million pounds,
of which Australia and New Zealand
produce 25 per cent, while the United
States produces 10 per cent of the to-

and territory woods. The wool grown

The Coconino sun., 1924-07-04

in the eastern and middle western
states is commonly called domestic
wool and territory wool when at is
raised in the Rocky Mountain states.
Arizona wool, while generally classed
with the territory wool, has certain
distinctive characteristics which make
it known on the market by the state
name. This also applies to Texas,
New. Mexico, California, Oregon and
Washington woods.
Wool is very unlike hair or other
fibre used in the textile industry for
! the reason that it is easier to spin
and after being spun, retains the twist,
that haid, especially, will not. This
| is due to the fact that the wool fibre
has serrated or crimped surface CIV
| ing it special thread forming quail
| ity. An ordinary wool fibre has from
| 1900 to 1000 overlapping scales to the
| inch which hook together and holds
the fibre in position when the wool is
| spun into yarn. Merino wool fibres
have from 2400 to 5000 overlapping
scales to the inch, this characteristic,
together with the fineness of the fibre
gives the superior qualities for which
Merino wool is noted. 1t takes from
! 1900 to 1000 fibres to the inch, while
coarser woods have from 600 to 100
fibres to the inch.
/ All wool contains a considerable
amount of oil or grease, called the
yolk, which comes from oil glands IN
the outer skin of the sheep and which
is thrown out at the same time as the
/ r.. rosbf IN n0f
the scaly surfaces of the fibres from
injury by friction against other flbres
during the movements of the animal.
The yolk dissolves freely in warm
water and can be washed almost en-
tirely out of the wool. In fact before
wool can be used in manufacture, this
yolk or grease and other foreign mat
ter, such as dirt or sand, burrs, chaff
etc. has to be removed. The process
for removing the grease and sand Is
called Securing" while bugrs ano
chaff have to be removed by the car
bombing" process. The amount OF
weight lost in these operations is call
ed "shrinkage."
The shrinkage factor is one of the
utmost Importance to the producer
ana Ufle Duyer. WIleH C1ie WVol 10 Pul
chased from our growers, it is bought
''in the grease" Say for instance a
certain clip of wool is worth $1.30 per
pound, clean basis, and the sh1inkage
is estimated at 60 per cent. The buy
er pays the grower 40 per cent OF
/ S1.3O, or 81 cents. However, If the
shrinkage was actually 64 per cent
1 when secured at the mill, the price
/ should have been At cents per pound
and the buyer overpaid five cents pei
pound. On the other hand if the ac-
tual shrinkage was only Sd per cent
the grower lost five cents per pound
as the wool should have been valued
at 81 cents per grease pound.
Wool in the grease loses from 70 tc
j 80 per cent of its weight after it is
secured. The average shrinkage II
the United States is approximately
/ SIS per cent, while the finer grades
shrink so to 65 per cent. The finer
the wool, the more grease it contains
Our Arizona wools, over a period OF
years, are supposed to shrink between
! go and 65 per cent.
4 During the past few years, the
The Coconino sun., 1924-07-04

United States department of agricul-
ture has standardized the wool grades
of this country, and all wool Is now
bought and sold on these grades.
There are seven grades as follows:
No. 1. Fine or full blood.
No. 2. Half blood.
No. 3. Three-eighths blood.
No. a. Quarter blood.
No. 5. Low quarter blood.
No. 6. Common or braid.
The first five grades are divided as
to length of staple into either comb
ing or clothing wools. The word
blood used in connection, with the
grades first came from the idea that
the full-blood Merino wool represented
the highest grade and that wool from
half, three-eighths and quarter blood
Merino sheep represented lower
grades of wool. Speaking generally,
this is more or less true now, but In
the technical application it is not so.
The grade names actually represent
wool of certain range of diameter of
fibre without regard to the blood or
breeding of the sheep from which the
wool is shorn. Wools grading as high
as half blood may come from a sheep
that has no trace whatever of Merino
breeding and it would be very rare
indeed to find sheep producing wool
graded as quarter blood without any
Merino blood whatever.
Generally speaking, the foregoing
grades of wool are produced from the
following breeds of sheep:
Fine-comes from Merinos, Delaines
and Rambouillets, which are the
fine wooled type of sheep.
Half-three- -eighths and quarter
blood wools, sometimes called the
middle woods, come from mutton
types of sheep, such as the Hamp-
shire, Shropshire, Southdown, Ok
ford, Dorset, Horn and others.
The long coarse grades of wool, call
ed low quarter blood, common and
braid, come from the Lincoln
Cotswold and Leicester breeds.
Manufacture
In the manufacture Of wool there
are two systems used. One is called
the worsted system and the other the
woolen system.
The worsted mills use only wool
that is long enough to comb under the
English system of manufacture. Such
wool must be at least two inches and
half long and it is called combing
wool. The yarn made from this wool
is known as worsted and the cloth
made therefrom is known as worsted
goods. The high quality woolen goods
are made out of wool having the
finest or smallest diameter of fibre,
together with the necessary length,
and are known as worsteds.
The woolen mills use the shorter
woods which are called clothing OF
carded woods. These woods are gener-
ally of the same fineness as the wor-
steds, but owing to their shorter
length cannot go through the combs
and in preparation for spinning n'ust
go through the carding machines
which jumbles the fibres together in
any and every direction, forming q
mixed mass from which the yarn is
finally drawn. Our Arizona Wools
due to climatic and range conditi Lions
are usually classed as clothing woods
on account of the length of fibe and
as the wool is graded as very fine

bases loaded.
