Expect Prices On
Lambs to Keep Up
For Rest of Year

Fairly sustained prices for lambs
for the remainder of the year and
possibly lower prices for spring
lambs in 1926 are to be expected, ac-
cording to an outlook report on
lambs and wool issued by the depart
nIent of agriculture. The outlook
for wool is uncertain and lower
prices for wool are probable next
year unless there should be an in
crease in demand.
Though this years lamb crop is
larger than last year, maintenance
Of the general price level and fairly
high business activity together with
high prices for pork and beeg should
maintain lamb prices through next
winter, according to the department
Should the present tendency to in
crease the number of breeding ewes
continue. n normal lamb crop next
spring together with lower prices of
wool NAV result in lower prices for
the 1926 lamb crop. Recovery of
wool prices from the post war de
preston is stimulating foreign coun-
tries to increase production. The
prospective increase in supply, how
ever, is not so great rs to cause a
further marked decline in prices un-
less there should be Il decline in de-
mand for woolen goods or slump
in business activity.
Farmers who are planning further
increases in breeding flocks are urg-
ed to consider carefully number of
points: The sheep industry is ap-
parently just approaching the end of
a period of high prices. Further
large increases in sheep production
will require buying breeding ewes
at fancy prices or holding valuable
stock off the market. Even at
lower prices, sheep may be kept with
profit on many farms. such as in sec
tions of the northwest where they
can be used to work out a better
balanced system of farming. AS
between sheep and beef cattle, con-
sidcration should be given to the
possibility that beef prices may tend
upward during the next few years
while sheep and wool prices seem
likely to tend downward.
