L G. Lincoln of , Filer, Idaho, who marketed sheep yesterday, says that while the sheep crop in Idaho Is not much shorter than normal, it Is true that Wyoming, one of the greatest sheep states in the union, has suffered a loss of nearly half the normal crop of sheep. Montana also has suffered. These losses were due to the severe winter and the severe' show and sleet storms about the middle ot April, just in the lambing season. This killed the lambs by the thousands. ' The sheep crop in Montana Is less by from 15 to 25 per cent than last year, according to E. Spauldlng. of Miles City, Mont. : He , says the same storms that swept Wyoming and proved disastrous to the lamb crop there were general In both - Wyoming and Montana and did great damage in his state. ; W. C, Cleveland of Boise, Idaho, esti mates that the sheep crop in Idaho is from 10 to 15 per cent less than formerly. This condition in Idaho, however, he holds was brought about not so tmuch by the storms as by the tact that the ranchmen shipped out more closely last year on' account of the shortage of the range and 'consequently did not have the ewes to breed ' to produce the normal crop. ' -,'. He predicts a great scramble' for sheep to feed in the tall If the corn crop and grain crops in general, are good through- out the grain belt this fall.
