UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE STATISTICAL BULLETIN NO. 3

WASHINGTON, D. C. * 1924

SHEEP, LAMB, MUTTON, AND WOOL STATISTICS

Year Ended March 31, 1923, With Comparable Data for Earlier Years.

Prepared by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics.'

INTRODUCTION.

Legislation enacted by Congress in August, 1916, authorized the Secretary "to gather from stockmen, livestock associations, State livestock and agricultural boards, common carriers, stockyards, commission firms, livestock exchanges, slaughtering and meatpacking companies and others, information relative to the number of different classes and grades of marketable livestock, especially cattle, hogs, and sheep in the principal livestock feeding districts and growing sections; prices, receipts, and shipments of the different classes and grades of cattle, hogs, and sheep at livestock market centers; prices of meats and meat food products and the amounts of such products in storage; to compile and publish such information at such frequent intervals as most effectively to guide producers, consumers, and distributors in the sale and purchase of livestock, meats, and other animal products; and to gather and publish any related information pertaining to marketing and distribution of livestock, meats, and animal by-products."

Under this authority a market news service on livestock and meats was inaugurated by the Livestock, Meats, and Wool Division of the Bureau of Markets now included in the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Reporters at the leading livestock markets and in the large meat consuming centers-Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago-gather daily information regarding supplies, demand, prices, and condition in general, relating to the livestock and wholesale dressed-meat markets. With the accumulation of several years of data of the kind mentioned it is possible to begin statistical research studies of the more intricate marketing problems.

2 Statistical Bulletin 3, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture.

Other sources of data are the Bureau of the Census reports and also those of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, the Yearbooks of the Chicago Daily Drovers Journal, the yearbooks of the leading stockyard companies, Bureau of Animal Industry reports, and official statistics of foreign countries.

The need of data during the World War on stocks and consumption of wool caused the Council of National Defense to urge this department to collect data on the stocks and consumption of wool. This work was begun in 1917. At present the reports on consumption of wool are compiled by the Bureau of the Census, also the report of wool stocks held by manufactures. Wool stocks held by dealers are reported on by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, the two bureaus issuing a joint report on wool stocks. From the beginning of the reports until June, 1920, the reports were from 95 to 99 per cent complete. Since that time a number of establishments have ceased to report. At the present time no estimate is made of the consumption or the stocks of firms failing to report.

Farm prices of wool are collected and compiled by the Division of Crop and Livestock Estimates, Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Other prices are compiled from commercial quotations.

Sources from which current data on the subject of this bulletin can be obtained are three in number: (1) Crops and Markets; weokly and monthly prices, receipts, shipments and slaughter of sheep and lambs; weekly and monthly prices, monthly imports, exports and cold storage holdings of lamb and mutton; monthly summary of livestock and meat situation and annual estimated production of wool by states; (2) Monthly Summary of Foreign and Domestic Commerce; imports and exports of lamb, mutton and wool; (3) Mimeograph reports of Livestock; Meats, and Wool Division; daily and weekly prices of wool, sheep and lambs and dressed lamb and mutton.

• In countries where a prewar estimate has been given for both old and new boundaries, that for old boundaries has been used in the prewar total. 'l.'he postwar total is gi vcn for present-da¥ boundaries. In order to include in the totals the territory formerly belonging to Russia, the figures for Russ1a or Congress Poland and European and Asiatic Rnss1a for 1913 have been added in the prewar total, while the most recent estimate available for Soviet Russia and the Ukraine, Poland (1921 boundaries, including some territorv formerly belonging to Germany and Austria) and the Balkan States Esthonia Latvia, and Lithuania have been included in the post war total. Figures for Czechoslovalria and Yu~oslavia are included in the postwar total since they were included in the prewar estimates for the countnes of which they were formerly a part.
