"But feed is cheaper now and is so much cheaper later. Idaho has thousands of tons of hay that can be bought for $8 to $10 per ton, but there is no demand for it.

The Yakima valley, the greatest hay producing section of the west, with the best market of the coast just across the mountains at Seattle and Tacoma, has tens of thousands of tons of hay that is selling now, on board the cars, baled, for $18 and I saw a letter to Frank Bothrock from a dealer over there who urged him to wait; as the price is sure to be cheaper feed and that the sheep are learning that they cannot pay $200 to $250 per acre for land to raise wheat alone.

The man who buys a good herd of sheep will find that the sheep are very profitable.
