Report of the Bureau of Agriculture Labor and Industry of the State of Montana . how agreater fleece per sheep than the average of Powell county; a fourth is per cent as much, the fifth is per cent greater than the average ofall the counties and the sixth stands only per cent less. It would, there-fore, seem to be difficult to figure Carbon county out of first rank of all thecounties in the State, Powell second and Cascade third. The more the averages between the counties are studied the more con-vincing they apparently become as a basis for estimate. And there is noquestion that the State may claim pounds of wool sheared from eachsheep, all ages and kinds, in the year 1907. The reports are not well adapted to arriving at a practical conclusionas to the percentage of sheep killed by wolves and coyotes, but a carefulreview of them together with the figures, as submitted, leads to the idea that2 per cent is altogether conservative.
