All the information thus given is three years later than that contained in the United States Census returns, and some of it is four years later.

The average product of wool per head of sheep, 6,317 at the shearing of 1862, was 3.51 pounds.

Mr. Wilson estimates the number of 44,004 sheep in Iowa, for the shearing of 1861, at 900,000, 37,498 -which number, at 3 pounds per head, will 503,943 yield a product of wool amounting to 3,150,000 1,833,651 pounds. *The population placed here is that of 1860, but the products on the same line are for 1859.
