The 1929 SHEEP & WOOL OUTLOOK

Washington, D. c., Aug. 12.-
Marketings and slaughter of lambs
during the next ten months are ex-
pected to be no larger than in the
corresponding period of 1928-29,
but are likely to be above those of
other recent years. While the high
level of consumer demand for lamb
of the past six months may not be
maintained any falling off that
may. occur is not likely to be suf-
ficient to affect lamb prices ma
terially. An active demand for
feeder lambs is expected this fall.
If this demand becomes great it
may carry the price of feeder
lambs so high as to reduce profits
on feeding below those realized
last year.
World production in 1929-3O will
probably be at least as large as OF
1928-29. Demand for wool in this
country is expected to be well
maintained and some improvement
in the demand in foreign countries
may occur within the year.
The supply of lambs from tn'
native lamb crop remaining to b.
marketed from August / to No
vember / is estimated to be abou
five per cent or 100000 head larg
er than at this date last year,
These native lambs will go al
most exclusively for slaughter. Tn
supply of western lambs in tn
areas which usually market afte
August 1 excluding Texas, is II
dicated at about 8 per cent, c
$4,000 head, smaller than yea
ago.
In Texas there is an indicate
increase of over 100000 head
the lamb crop this year. In Il
past few years the large increa
es in the lamb crop in that sta
have not been reflected in corr

Drouth Continues Unbroken In Montana
Few Isolated Showers VIII Assure Fair Crop in Some Lo-
caltles In Sheridan County Protein Content High but
Average Yield VIII be About Five Bushels per Acre.

Helena, Aug. 15.-Generally fair
weather with local showers in a
majority of the 28 counties report
ing crop conditions to the extern
sion service and the publicity office
is indicated for the week closing
August 1. The weather, while cool
er than for the two previous weeks
continued hot and dry with winds
in some localities Some late flax
and in Yellowstone and Rosebud
counties, corn and beans, profited
from the showers.
Winter wheat harvest continues
in full swing. A higher percentage
of the winter wheat than ever be-
fore, perhaps 8O@6 this year, is be-
ing combined. Reports of yields
continue spotted and vary from
to 80 bushels in adjoining town
ships.
The general harvest of spring
wheat will be starting within a few
days. Protein content on tested
grains to date is higher than last
year with weights below last sea-
son. Sugar beets and potatoes are
doing well especially where water
for irrigation is still available. The
second crop of alfalfa is up in g
few counties with the work pro-
gresing in other sections. The can
ming pea harvest is drawing to {
close in Gallatin county with the
cutting of seed peas started.
A large acreage of summer fal
lowed ground is ready for seeding
to winter wheat but farmers ar,
delaying seeding awaiting prope
moisture conditions.
Livestock is in fair condition

The labor situation is excellen

for feeder lambs develops this fall
larger number than usual of the
Texas lambs may be shipped to the
corn belt and western feed lots.
There are a number of conflict
ing factors that will affect the
number of western lambs marketed
this fail. The smaller lamb crop,
the heavier death losses since dock
ing, and the increased number of
eve lambs needed to replace the
unusually heavy death losses of
breeding ewes all point to a sharp
decrease in marketings. On the
other hand lower wool prices,
heavy expense incurred for feed
last winter, poor condition of wint-
er range in some areas, smaller
surblies of hay and prospective
high costs of feed this coming
winter all point to a larger pro
portion of the western lamb croI
being marketed this year than fol
any year in the past five. The
same conditions also will lead to {
closer culling of breeding flock'
and an increased marketing of olC
ewes. 1t does not seem likely, how
ever, that the increase in the pro
portion Of lambs marketed will off
set the decrease in the supply O.
lambs available for marketing.

at his home In Milwaukee. He
was SO years old.
A debate which he won by argu-
ing in favor of the single tax idea
against socialism was responsible
for making a socialist of Victor
Louis Berger, the first represen-
tative of that party to be elected
to congress. When a young man;
while teaching school in Milwaukee,
he read Henry Georges Progress
and Poverty and became an ar
dent single taxer. Joining Ger
man debating society he was des-
ignated on one occasion to uphold
the single tax idea against shoe
maker speaking in favor of social
ism. The judges awarded the decl-
sion to Berger, but he said IN hls
heart he felt that he had lost the
argument and made up his mind to
study books on socialism.
Before l knew it, / was a social
ist," he said in later years. i did
not join the party just at that
time for there was none, but L
helped to start one.
Leaves His Mark
BERGER was another example OF
the immigrant boy leaving ms
mark on his generation of Amerl-
cans and achieving a place OF IN
fluence in his adopted land. From
7 the time that friendly debate
aroused his interest in socialism
he became one of the most active
I leaders in its Advancement. In 1891
Z he took over a struggling German
l socialist newspaper, the Volkszei
! tung, and changed its name to the
2 |, Wisconsin Vorwaerts. 1t had few
a readres and virtually no advertis
ing, but boasted of daily and Sun
day editions. He met Eugene V
5 Debs in 1893 and always declare'
that he made Debs a socialist.
The beginning of Berger's res
rise to influence was IN 1900, whel
he started an English weekly i
Milwaukee called the Socialif
Democratic Herald. It was success
full from the start and in 1911
became a daily, the name bein
changed to the Milwaukee Leade

SCHOOLS OPEN
MON, SEPT.

At its regular meeting on Tues
day night of this week the board
of trustees decided to open the
schools of Plentywood on Monday,
September 2. Since harvest is ear
ly this year it was felt that prac
tically none would be inconvenience
ed by starting school on that date.
Monday is Labor Day so registra-
tion only will take place the first
day. A further announcement con-
cerning registration will be made
in next weeks paper.
The teachers for the year 1929
1880 have all been employed and
should prove to be an able group of
Imen and women. All have had sue
cessful experience in teaching and
Plentywood is fortunate in secur-
ing first class teachers with ex-
perience at the salaries we are able
to pay. Due to our heavy enroll
ment it is necessary to get the
best teachers available and it is
inadvisable to place a load such as
our teachers must have, on a young
and inexperienced teacher.
