Shearing Declines
As Sheep Decrease
On Reservation

Reduction of sheep on the
Blackfeet Reservation from last
year has reacted upon shearing
operations correspondinRIy, &C.
cording to George Plummer, one
of the contractors,
Plummer sold his ranch hold
ings on the Reservation last fall
to do shearing contracting on a
yearwide basis through the north
west and southern states. He
came up from Texas a few weeks
ago after a successful business
there last spring.
Other shearing contractors be-
sides Plummer, who are now
operating here include John Matt
chit of Dupuyer, Henry Happ.
old of Hepner, Oregon, d c k
Matchell of Roman and T o m
Brady OF Nampa. Idaho.
The critical help shortage of
last year, together with other
wartime problems, discouraged
the sheep industry throughout
northern Montana as to result in
at least a 20 per cent reduction
in herds. Future trends appear to
be in the direction of further re.
duction with the prospect that
with less sheep there will be
more cattle.

The stock. which was received
over the Great Northern R y,

Since tn e Blackfeet Tribal

questin9 that the Bureau of In.

of more cattle.
The resolution was encouraged
by the assurance of the Indian

make the funds available for the
purpose some time this year.
Leo M. Kennerly. member #
the Tribal Council, m satin2 g h
bureau heads during r. .cnt

assurance. Kennsrly pointed out
that Blackfeet Indians were am
bilious to expand he present
reservation cattle industry into
one eff large magnitude. He cited
that the increased use of grazing
domain during the last four years
by Blackfeet stockmen was in
dicative of the trend,
Whereas, back in l94l, he said,
