tration fees effective an. 1, 1958,
whereby animals from six to 12
months of age may be‘registered

Weather Resume and Outlook” which contains additional
supplemantary information necessary for complete inter
pretation.
The conception rate of ewes
bred early in the season could be
improved by keeping the rams in
