Let's Go ! Wool Shorn Report Re-port for U. S. The amount of wool shorn or to be shorn In 1932 in the United States is 342,386,000 pounds, according accord-ing to the preliminary estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture. Thlg is about 27,000,-000 27,000,-000 pounds or 7.3 per' cent smaller than the 359,477,000 pounds shorn in 1931. The decrease In wool production this year from last is due to the lighter weight of fleeces in most states, but mist marked in the western sheep states and the small er number of sheep shorn this year In the western states. The number of stock aheep In the western sheep states on January 1, 1932 waa esti mated at 84,416,000 head, which was 200,000 head larger than the number on January 1, 1931. The estimated number of sheep shorn or to be shorn this year, however, la only 31,780,000 head, a decrease of 1,697,- 000 head from the number shorn in '981. The smaller proportion shorn this year is a result of above aver age death losses in all of the west ern states and very heavy losses in some states. While the weight per fleece Is smaller thl year than last In most of the western states. It is larger in California and Texas be cause of the larger proportion of 12 months wool ahorn In these "tates in the spring of ,1932. The sharp reduction in weight per fleece in some western states reflects in ixirt cleaner fleeces following a winter of heavy snow fall and a wt nprlng, but also a decrease In "coured wool equivalent to poor neece, in areas where feed was "hort and sheep came through the w'nter in poor condition.
