Sheeb Raisers Face Problem

THE relationship between various types or
~ agriculture is well illustrated IN the case OF
the sheep industry, which Is being seriously af-
fected by improbable conditions in other lines
Of farming.
It is expected that the marketing OF lamb
this year will run unusually heavy with much
smaller carry-over Of ewes for breeding because
Of generally unsatisfactory range conditions and
low prices Stimulating marketing activities,
the heavy corn crops Of the corn belt will make
the fattening of lambs an inexpensive PROPOSE
ton. and will probably bring about lowering
Of urices, which in turn Is likely 10 discourage
plans for extensive raising Of sheep for next
year.
The sheep raisers find little encouragement
In prices of other farm products to lure them
to other types of farming. The general farmer,
on the other hand, finding young sheep so
cheap, are likely to establish small herds in
order to meet in part the loss Of revenue from
other sources The ultimate effect, if this
practice becomes general, could be to lessen
the market for sheep in the future and a num-
Der of years would probably be required to bring
about o satisfactory readjustment Of the Situa-
ton.

WAR DEBTS UP

Relief From Depression to
Be Discussed.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES,
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The In
ternational Chamber Of Commerce
prepared to make "a significant ges-
ture at its closing session today by
suggesting that reduction of war
debts, tariffs and the cost Of armies
and navies may offer relief from
the world depression.
While the resolution to be adopt
ed today is general, any action
along this line by the assembled
business representatives of thirty
six nations, in the capital of the
United States, will be considered
important to the world.
In its tentative draft, subject to
committee revision today, the reso-
luton hints that if the commodity
there might be some future reas-
sessnent OF the part played by war
debts.
Tt also suggests cooperation Of
nations to level trade barriers more
to comport with international eco
nomic needs, and emphasizes, as did
President Hoover in his opening
convention speech, that armament
cost is a heavy burden on de-
pressed world.
