A million sheep are in distress iu central and southwestern Wjoming as the result of phenomenal snowfall which has made thousands of square miles of grass inaccessible, nnd hns comiielled flock musters to resort to feeding weeks before the customary time. As much as thirty inches of snow lias fallen on some sceiions of the sheep range during Xovemlier. The most serious situation is in the lted Desert region, where there are alaiul -100,000 sheep, and in Fremont nnd western Xatioual counties.
