Biggest Wool Clip
Brings Best Price
MANY FLOCKS of Wyoming
sheep in 1951 brought their
highest wool prices in many a season
besides producing one of the best
clips ever grown, in the opinion of
Alexander Johnston, University of
Wyoming wool specialist.
owners
The mild winter, along with abun
dant feed in most areas, meant that
the sheep could conserve their body
energy and use a large part of their
feed for wool production, he says.
The excellent body condition of
the sheep was obvious at shearing
time. The ewes carried a high degree
of fleshing and a fleece of
bright color both before and after
shearing. Johnston reports that very
few "dirty backs" were evident after
shearing.
In most flocks the staple
markably long, the specialist ob
servés. "Fleece weights were greater
than they had been for several years.
While this greater weight indicated
very
was re
an increase in the shrinkage, the
fleeces also contained a larger
amount of clean wool fiber than is
usually evident."
Based upon the preshearing con
tract prices, wool growers can all
. _ * .
show a very substantial gain in
fleece value over the average of the
last 10 years, Johnston points out,
adding that wool values in Wyo
ming have never been higher than
during this season. "In many
cases
the wool grower received over $3.75
per pound clean for his clip, and in
some cases values of over $4 per
pound clean have been calculated,"
he reveals.

Letters to the Editor
USES SULPHUR TO CURE
DEATH CAMAS POISONING
Constructive letters on subjects of general
rural Interest will be published under this
heading as space permits. Comparatively short
letters must necessarily be favored, although
excerpts from longer letters may be used.
Montana Farmer-Stockman may or may not
agree with the opinions expressed.
THIS IS HOW we cure death
camas poison for cows and sheep.
We learned what we know about it
from experience.
As quick as we see any signs of
a cow being poisoned we give her
eight heaping tablespoons fu}l of
dry sulphur. One person holds the
cow's head and opens her mouth
while another person puts the sul
phur, a tablespoonful at a time, far
back in her mouth. They waste a
lot, usually, or five tablespoonfuls
might be sufficient.
If necessary, in about two hours,
give from two to five more .table
spoonfuls of sulphur. If it's a milk
cow she will likely dry up a lot, but
keep milking her and she will come
back up again in her milk. We stop
using the milk till she is well and a
little while afterwards. We have
had cows swelled terribly from it,
but it will go down. They have
frothy slobbers in their mouth and
will tremble when they get this
kind of poison and are weak.
Sheep will blink an eye and froth
at the mouth, or maybe go back
wards. Give IVz heaping teaspoon
fuls of sulphur if bad or one heaping
teaspoonful if not very bad. Some
times by looking in their mouth you
