Montana Wool Industry Sees 18 Million Annual Return
Montana's sheep and wool industry returns total about 18 million annually, says R L Waddell from Montana State College Extension. The state’s sheep count rose from 2,082,919 in 1920 to 2,370,000 in 1924, with growth expected but not yet back to the 1900 peak of 6,170,000. Independent markets, cooperative marketing plans, and tighter lamb and mutton marketing pose key issues for future expansion during Farm and Home Week at Montana State College.

Fort Peck tribal meeting last month resulted in resolutions to address homestead issues on the reservation. The plan, drawn by a joint Indian and white homesteader committee, requires abandoned homesteads to pay in full within six months after notice or be canceled. Bona fide homesteaders may pay half of delinquent amounts by November 1, 1925 and the remaining balance by November 1, 1926, or face cancellation of entry if payments are not made.
