was unable to extinguish the flames.
Mrs. Brown also heard the cries of
the children, rushed to the basement
and wrapped rug about the unfor-

his clothing had burned fiercely and
his injuries were of the gravest ma

besides being terribly burned about
the body, the child had inhaled some
of the flames.

keen sorrow to Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
and family has stirred the sympa-

While 5000 feet up, engine trouble
developed. Mr.. Urey piloted his

spot for a landing and came down
safely In a cut-over meadow belong

VALLEY CROPS

Monday afternoon and evening
copious quantities of much-needed
rain fell on the Gallatin valley, with
resulting great benefit to crops. At
4 o'clock Monday afternoon a shower
brought Ia of an inch of precipita-
ton, which was increased by another
after p. m. Both rains were re-
ported to be general, as far as the
valley was concerned, and were joy
fully welcomed by farmers. The heat
and dryness of the last couple of
weeks had begun to affect the crops
adversely, and but for the timely pre-
cipitation of Monday considerable
damage might have resulted. Thurs
day was partly cloudy, with lower

MONTANA'S LAMB
CROP SHOWS Loss
Nearly One-third of Million Head
Less Than in 1926-Price
Outlook Favorable

HELENA.-Montana 1927 lamb
crop is placed at 1,462,000 head, or
$4,000 head smaller than the 1925
crop and 115,000 head smaller than
the crop of 1925, according to the an
nual estimate Of the u. S. division of
livestock estimates cooperating with
the state department of agriculture.
The decrease, according to Jay C.
Diamond, agricultural statistician,
came about partly as a result of a re-
duction in breeding stock following
the heavy 1926 marketings, but most
weather which caused heavy losses at
lambing time. The number Of lambs
saved in 1927 per hundred ewes, one
year and over on January /, was
computed at 75.0 compared with the
figure of $50 per cent for the 1926
crop. The number Of breeding ewes
on which the lamb croD estimate is
based was placed at 1,950,000 for
1927 compared with 100000 for
1926.
Texas, Arizona, and California
were the only western states to show
larger lamb crops than a year ago.
Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, and Oregon
show similar reductions to that ex-
perienced in Montana reflecting the
unfavorable weather conditions dur-
ing April and May.
The total crop in western states is
estimated at 15,045,000 or about l.
100000 less than in 1926, this de-
crease In lambs taking rlace in spite
Of an increase of over 100000 head
in breeding ewes. As these western
states furnish the bulk Of the supply
of feeding lambs a considerable de-
crease in. the available supply Of
lambs is Indicated and promises to be
a sustaining factor in the market
price which Montana sheep men and
other western sheep men win receive
next fall.
While the native lamb crop in the
central, eastern, and southern states,
due both to an increased number Of
breeding ewes and larger per cent
saved, IS much larger this year
it has failed to offset the big decrease
in the western lamb crop.
For 1927 the total lamb crop Of the
/ United States has been estimated at
%, ,764,000 head which is slghtly
smaller than the 1926 crop but about
eight per cent larger than that Of
1925.
