Although researchers will continue to test for possible damaging side effects, the process seems to have done no harm so far to the wool or meat quality of properly dosed sheep. The new technique provides an additional fringe benefit for the sheep. If the wool is allowed to continue growing for as long as three weeks after the drug is administered, the constricted segment of the fibers is pushed about an eighth of an inch beyond the skin.

The state government will collect a 12.5% royalty in the form of oil, which it will sell to processors for the profitable petrochemical trade that they already conduct with Japan. Eventually, oil will mean far more to the state than gold, of which about $750 million worth has been mined since 1880. Only $760,000 worth...
