SHEEP IN COTTON CLOTHING

You've heard, Of course, about the

Wyo., ranch hos done something more
about sleeps clothing than let the wolf

the ronch-house door, in foct, they have
rugged out several hundred Of the
ronch's sheep in cotton clothing.
It's all port of q test being made by
the Department Of Agriculture and a
cotton research laboratory. When ewes
ore thus clothed, the theory runs. they
keep warmer, need less supplementary
feed, and produce better wool.
Thus by using more cotton to pro-
duoe more wool, both industries get q
