?ALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. Oct.,
i 22— That the war has affected th»
sheep industry in Utah and that many
sheepmen are going oiu
because of lack of sheepherders, s
. *d in a recent statement made
by C. l». Stewart, secretary of tl'.r
Utah Woolgrowers’ association.
‘‘The war has taken hundreds of t/c
best herders,” Mr. Stewart said Men
can be secured, hut they are not train
*d herders When a sheepman intrust
from $40,000 to $50,000 worth cl
sheep to one man, the herder must he
competent or great losses result.
“Sheepherding is a trade which a
women cannot handle. I know that it
1 is wholly out of the question for her
i to supplant man at this occupation
and so. as the draft calls more men in
I to the service, the wool men are seal
ing their flocks. I look to see a big de
crease in sheep raising lor this rca
i son during the coming year.”
