LOS ANGELES, July 30. (U.P)-
The western range country has
about reached its practical limit in
lamb production. following several
wears of intense building up of
range flocks. Many Of the historic
old cattle ranches have turned to
sheep. Outstanding in this respect
is tie state of Texas. which until
few wears ago was almost strictly
cattle state. II is now the largest
sheen growing state in the union.
California has developed her
sheep business intensely. As far
back rs 1860. the California sheep
population, exclusive Of lambs, was
estimated at only slightly more
than one million. Production has had
it's ups and downs since that time,
the population in 1920 being only
l,784,00 But in the past nine years
largely as result Of profitable pro
duetion and development Of broad
market for early California lambs
on the eastern seaboard, Califor-
MIA s sheep population by 1928
reached 2,332 coo and on January ],
1929, the sheep population in Cali
fornia was , $50, 900, and California
now has the distinction of being the
greatest lamb producing state.
But with such rapid growth in
range flocks, over-stocking has been
one Of the serious evils in many
instances, not only in California but
in other western states. The result
is that If rainfall is not sufficient
to provide enough feed, large pro-
portion of the lambs do not fatten.
Supplemental feeds, such as cotton
seed cake, win carry the = ewes
through dry season but the fat
tening of the lamb is another prob
lem.
The marketing of thin and half
fat lambs has proven TO be ser
ious problem to western lamb pro-
dueers. Ii the thin lambs are slaugh-
Tered, the careasses are not salts
factory and lamb consumption is
reduced.
The slogan Of western lamb pro
ducers must be "better sheep, but
not more sheep But this does not
mean that there is not room for real
dyed d-in-thewoo sheepmen to get
into the sheep business in Califor-
MIA, because as the old saying goes,
= there is always room at the tOp.'
With proper merchandising and
the resultant increase in the popu-

Mean Trick To
Play On Hens

STOCKHOLM, July S0.U.P-To
make his hens law twice as many
eggs as usual, Swedish farmer has
found that nothing aecelerates the
process more than couple of good
revolver or rifle shots fired close
to the hen house.
He came upon his discovery by
a strange incident. A road building
company WAS blasting rocks near
his farm, and while the noise was
enervating to him, he found that it
had another influence on the fowls,
as long as the dynamiting went on,
his $50 hens laid exactly double the
number of eggs as before
When the excavation was finish
ed, the egg crop Immediately de-
creased 10 its normal low level,
wherefore the observant farmer let
his trusty shot gun serve instead,
aud every morning took couple
of shots at nothing in particular.
The hens responded with record
number of eggs.

The realtors of the Massachusetts

VALLEY WILL BE
REPRESENTED AT
LABOR MEETING

Imperial Valley will be represent
ed in meeting at FL Paso on
August 10, in which almost cvory
section of the states of Texas, New
Mexico. Arizona and California will
send delegates to discuss the Mexi-
can labor situation.
Secretary f. II. McIver of the ir-
rigation district, was instructed by
the board cf directors today to ac-
cept the invitation from sponsors or
the conference. The representative
from the valley is to be named later.
:" Imperial Valley faces grave
situation so FAR as labor is concern
ed,o declared Director Mark Rose
this morning. "We are allowing
ourselves to drift into n labor
shortage, and, unless something is
done, we shall find that many of
our most important crops will be
curtailed for want of harvesting
crews.
w. O. Blair, director from Cali
patria, was mentioned as the prob
able choice of the district as its
representative at the conference,
inasmueh as blair is actively en-
gagged in vegetable growing and
shipping and knows Mexican labor
conditions in the valley.
Blair stated today that there are
many crops that require just the
sort of labor that Mexicans are best
suited for. He added that unless
there is a concerted movement
throughout the southwestern states,
the east will force the adoption of
rigid immigration laws that will
further restrict Mexicans from com
ing into the United States.

Air transportation is being well
patronized to and from the Pacific

who returned this morning from a

The plane left Kansas City yester-

larity of lamb. there seems to be
little danger of OVERRIDING lamb pro
duction. However, students of the
situation feel that any future ex-
pansion of lamb production must
come from the small fioeks carried
as side line on fruit and grain
ranches, and small farms. Quality
production must be practiced in
such instances for real profit. The
most satisfactory way TO relieve the
range would be tO\ spread out the
feeder lambs among the small ranch
crs, using our grain and forage for
fattening.
Quite few citrus growers in
Southern California are carrying
lambs in their orchads. reapimg a
double profit through the sale of
lambs and through the gaining of
valuable fertilizer to build up soil
fertility. We hear Of several San
Joaquin Valley deciduous fruit
growers who are beginning 10 raise
small farm flocks with profit This
sort of farm activity is in its in
fancy. 1t was impossible to develop
the small farm flock in California
until in recent years, due to tack of
marketing facilities. Now, however,
with the public market such as is
maintained at the Los Angeles
Union Stock Yards, it is just as
simple and satisfactory to market
truckload Of lambs, or other live
stock, as 20 market stock by the
carload or trainload.
