A
Improvement Seen
in Sheep Industry
Recovery From Depression
Which Struck It Three
Years Ago Is Noted. -
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Rapid recovery from the depression
which struck It three years ago is being
made by the American sheep industry
under the Stimulus of fairly good
prices, and improved credit facilities,
say reports to the Department of Agri-
culture. Sheepmen generally are op-
timistic and in good financial shape,
and mutton and wool production,
though still below normal, is increas
ing.
Proof that the industry is getting
back on its feet is seen In the fact that
the number of sheep in this country ac-
cording to an estimate as of January
1, has increased by 882,000 over the
total on the corresponding date in 1922,
It is still 243,000 below the 1921 total
of 37.452,000, but the rate of increase
suggests that the losses of the liguida-
tion period will soon be made up.
ture do not, however, think that the
high figures of the war years will be
reached for some time. The peak of
the war period was touched at 40.
856,000 head in 1015.
Effect of Open Ranges.
Settlement of grazing lands for farm-
ing purposes has proceeded so rapidly
in the last few decades that it Is ime
probable the United States will ever
again be as big a sheen producer as
it was In the days of the free open
ranges, Countries of sparse popula-
tion and low-priced lands are best
suited to sheep raising, and the United

largely owing to the diversion of graz-
ing lands to farming. There is room
for considerable expansior of the sheep
industry from {ts present position,
derwent in 1920 and 1921,
The liquidation In that period was
the greatest ever known. Flocks were
reduced by approximately
head. Income from wool
out. returns from mutton and lamb
were greatly reduced, and hundreds of
flockmasters were ruined. From
drastic a shakeup, which
wool and mutton profluction far below
current needs, some recovery was in-
evitable. When congress placed a duty
of 2% cents a pound on fresh mutton,

and mutton are high-priced, and are
considered as luxuries by most people,
In consequence sheep and lamb prices
show greater sensitiveness to variations
in genera! economic conditions than
any other important commodities, and
in recessions, as well as in advance,
have usually preceded other meat prod
ucts by substantial periods. How to
assure a stable and broadening mar
ket for mutton and lamb is therefore
one of the most difficult problems of the
sheep industry. Officials of the depart.
ment are making studies to see what
ean be done toward preventing sea
sonal gluts and shortages, and toward
increasing the popularity of mutton
