Twenty thousand sheep are re
ported lost in one county Of Montana
in an October blizzard aud twenty
herders are frozen to death Incl
dents Of this kind are reported every
winter. Yet in the mou ,tains OF
North and South Carolina there are
tens of thousands Of acres Of waste
land, we'll watered, which may be
bought for from so cents to SO All
acre and Cd which sheep would ,hrive
This mountain land once we'll set in
thrifty grass would yield splendid
returns in sheep-brtter than go d
mines or even cotton mills There
are no killing blizzards or wi,hrrirg
droughts or spells Of burning h'ut.
This is an ideal sheep country and
while the mountain lands are cheap
is the time for purchasers to Nuke
fortunes by buying an using them
Tho experiments the secretary Of
agricultureis conducting with grnsaes
at Bolton should be Of vast u4e in
this connection. The land in the
mountains, especially in the coves.
brings fine yields Of native grasses
which arc never entirely killed in
winter, but tho Bolton experiments
are likely to show which grasses will
do best in our soll and climate,-Ex
Wo think tho extract above was
taken from the Grconville N wa Of
possibly year or more ago, hnt it is
good yet, and is not hurt by age
We believe that sheep raising could
be made profitable in onr mountain
section, and that even here in New.
berry tho industry might and could
be made to pay. Our people should
get out Of tho notion, for it is ouly a
notion, that there IL no money in
anything except cotton. A good
cattle and sheep farm could be con-
Quoted on many hillsides and along
the canebrakos Of our rivers aid
made more profitable than many Of
our cotton farms. Why not try ilY
We know it would pay in the noun
tain section Of thu State. Dvrrsi
fed industries arc the things we need.
Not all cotton, nor all corn or WHEAT
or oats, and neither do we want all
stock and cattle farms
