But in spite of fewer hands and other difficulties, millions of lambs are being dropped and raised to provide the nation's wool and meat. Beyond the "romance" of sheep ranching lies a great deal of hard work. When early lambs arrive in wintry weather, there's no time to be lost in moving them from the "drop corrals" to the lambing shed. Chilled lambs often must be revived in heated incubators. It's not unusual for a good "night man" to "lamb out" 125 ewes in a night and that is work. There's the feeding and, later on, trimming, docking, bunch herding, shearing, and finally the trailing of the bands to the summer ranges in the high mountain country.

LARGE re-fvu- DECREASE COMPARED WITH LAST YEAR Government figures indicate a decrease of 38 of civilian meat supplies is expected during this quarter (January to March, inclusive), as compared with a year ago. The decrease will vary on the different types of meats. It is also estimated that during the second quarter of this 4-- H year (April to June, inclusive) a decrease of 35 is expected. GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS Few people realize how much beef, pork, lamb and veal must be set aside by meat packers operating under federal inspection to be purchased by the Government for the Armed Forces and for Lend-LeasAs of February 20, 1945, we are required to set aside: BEEF: 60 of choice, good, and commercial steers and heifers, except extremely light weights. 70 of all utility steers, heifers and cows. 80 of all cutters and canners. PORK: approximately, of dressed weight. LARD: approximately, of production in accordance with recent order. The Government is also taking a large proportion of Swift & Company's lamb and veal production: of choice and good lambs. LAMB: 40 to 50 of choice, good and commercial veal VEAL: oximately, apj produced wit m specifications. Whether these rcentages will continue at the same level throughout the ye... innot be foretold. The above percentages are as of February 2. 1945. Consumer misunders : tnding and dissatisfaction also arises from f WARBDHDS 50, 75, L. Stander, rancher from Promontory Point, Utah, admires the helmet that saved his life. He was wounded on the USS Chicago by a strafing Jap plane. But he won the Silver Star for sticking to his gun without thought of personal safety. another important factor that does not show up in these figures. The civilian population has more money now than in 1939 and fewer goons on which to spend it. Also, more people are working longer hours and need more food . . . particularly meat. The demand for meat has, therefore, increased tremendously. The Government in a recent statement said that the average American, at present income levels, would consume 170 pounds of meat this year, if it were available. In contrast, the Government estimates that there will be available during 1945 only about 127 pounds per capita. NON-FEDERAL- e. 1 Sgt. W. 1.0c Earnings....
