POT DSTbAREERE OE =e PAGE FOUR CONDITIONS ON RANGE BEST IN YEARS, 13 CLAIM Monthly Report for This State Favorable to Stock Interests. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 18—Tho dest range conditions in years with ® prospective increase in the sheep cattle movement this fall over last fall are the outstanding features of the monthly livestock and range re port issued by+the United States Division of Crop and Livestock Esti- mates from its Cheyenne office. Ranges—Wyoming ranges are the best in many years, excellent mols ture conditions have resulted in a very heavy crop of grass and other forage, which has remained green very late. Continued showers have elayed the during of the grass and likewise the finish of grass fat stock, Ranges that have been over grazed are coming back and reseeding is re- ported in several districts. The con- dition of the ranges !s 105 per cent of normal, a gain of three points during July and fully 25 points above the condition one year ago. The hay crop is generally good, although there is a ight crop in Fre. mont county and parts of the Big Horn. Basin where the alfalfa was winter-killed during the past winter. The wild hay crop is excellent with the biggest crop in years. Cattle—Wyoming cattle are in ex- cellent condition and have shown a wonderful improvement following the thin condition last spring. The con dition of all cattle 1s reported as 104 per cent of normal, a gain of five points during July. While the cat tle are in excellent condition there is a lack of mature grass to complete @ good grass fat beef finish. Prospective shipments this fall are somewhat uncertain at this time due to the financisl] conditions and the prices, however, reports from over the state indicate that the movement will be about 5 per cent heavier than last year or about 220,000 head as compared with 210,000 last fall and 186,000 in 1921. Cattlemen. report that about 50 per cent of the cattle for ehipment are grass fat against 38 per cent last fall, this classifica- tion, whoever will depend largely on market conditions, the competition of corn fed stuff and the demand for stockers and feeders. There is a marked shortage of aged steers due to the heavy shipment of two year olds last year and the ultimate re- sults of the disastrous range cond!- tions in 1919; “Btockmen report that there will be fn turn a heavy move ment. of yearling. and two year old steers, with some cows, helfers and ealves, but the movement is showing a decided change to younger and lighter stuff. Some sections report that entire herds will be sold this fall Armstrong’s Linoleum Will Give You a Serviceable, Economical Floor Are you still scrubbing the boards “in your kitchen floor.” takes hours of time and in the end they never seem spotlessly clean.

Good Furniture COMPLETE HOUSE FURNISHINGS CLOWNS WITH CIRCUS COMING TO CASPER GREAT FUN-MAKERS, The day of the “fill-in” clown;-—the property man who whitens his face to swell the ranks of the funmakers—is over at least with the Carl Hagen- beck-Wallace Circus, the largest wild animal show in the universe, which comes to Casper for two exhibitions, afternoon and night, and grand, free street parade in the morning on Thursday, August 23. Every clown with the Hagenbeck- Wallace circus must be an experienced funster and a clown of recognized abi!- ity. The big circus cannot take time to break in amateurs, who must secure thelr early training with smaller shows and circuses, if they are ambi- tious or desire to achieve success in the Jesting profession. There are fifty ‘Joeys” with the while others indicate a close selling of cows and heifers, with some stat- ing that only dry cows will be shipped. The cattle situation seems a Httle brighter than a year ago but many cattlomen @re unable to make ex penses and are wondering what move to make next unless there marked improvement during the com- ing year. Sheep—The condition of sheep ana lambs {s indicated as 103 per cent of normal, a gain of two points during July, all sheep are in excellent con- dition and there is a marked im- provement in the condition of old sheep over one year ago. The shipments this fall are some- what uncertain but the reports indl- cate an increase of 10 per cent in lambs and 6 per cent in old sheep over last fall, which would mean a movement of about 830,000 head of sheep and lambs as compared with 775,000 Inst year and 750,000 in 1921 With a much larger lamb crop this year there will be a tendency to hold more ewe Inmbs to rebuild flocks and cull out the old ewes that have been held the past few years. Few old ewes were sold last fall due to the poor condition and low priée, but with an improvement in price and the good condition of the old stuff most every section reports a tendency to clean up on this class, The reports from over the. st: wpe Casper Sunvap worming erivune Hagenbeck show—tifty Merry An- drews well known in the clown alleys of the big tops. They are well known because they have learned to put across their antics and their panto; mine under the big top. And there's the rub. The cleverest stage clowns fare apt to fall down in the great tent for working the huge circus oval is entirely different from the business of garnering laughs in the theater, One of tho greatest stage clowns o: the decade, proved a great failure with the white tops. Among the noted funsters with the Hagenbeck show are Joe Coyle, Bill Hart, Kid Lennard, Louis Plamondon, Danny Ryan and the Three Hardis- try’s. The circus claims to have the biggest and best brigade of clowns in |f its history. indicate that 55 per cent of the lambs are grass fat compared with 45 per cent last year, while 80 per cent of the old sheep are reported as grass fat against 20 per cent last fall, The number of sheep and lambs going as fat will depend mostly on the mar- ket conditions and demand for feed- ers. Lamb sales have been Nght ex- cept a few early sales in the north- ern sections of the state, a few sales at about 10 cents were reported from tho Casper territory a few weeks ago, but there is little evidence of sales or contracts for the markets or feed- ing districts, Wool—The Wyoming wool clip is estimated at 18,800,000 pounds as compared with 20,400,000 pounds last year, 21,200,000 pounds in 1921, 21,- 000,000 pounds in 1920, and 26,000,000 919.
