Certainly the high price OF
wool will stimulats the rais>
ing Of sheep in the South. We
have always liked sheep and
depl0red the TACT that 90 lew
were raised In the South. Il
you asked q farmer Why he
Gid not raise sheep, he would
reply "he feared the ravages
OF the dogs" Now, every
phase oi farm operations hae
it's drawbacks, but it seems
very weak to give way to
such an obstacle. II our farm
ers would set themselves to
the task, We are confident
they could find out a way to
restrain the hungry cnr with
in proper bounds. Think OF
tho wool selling in Georgia
at thirty cents a pound. We
met a farmer while attend
ing TIE institnte at Douglas,
Ca. who said: Il have no {
sold my cotton yet" We re-
piled: You should sell now
while you can get ten cents,
and then you could settle up,
and hold your new cotton il
the price went below Q u
cents" He said. II have no
selling to do. | sold several
hundred dollars worth ot
wool here last week, and l
have no need for the money
for my cotton" ...... .
We wish there were q thou
sand more ike him, who were
growing wool and mutton en-
ough to pay their expenses;
it would help much 10 tho cot
ton holding movement. OF
course it would be foolish to
20 into sheep : raising, ex-
pecting wool to remain at
present high price, But you
can rely upon this THAT our
country is getting 20 thickly
settled and our cities are
growing 90 rapidly that both
mutton and wool will always
bring sufficiently high prices
to repay any careful shap-
herd. We hope many farmers
will add a email flock OF Sd me
good breed Of sheep to t b e
livestock property pom
their farms.
We are proud that several
men in South Georgia c a n
count their focks by he
thousand. II you propose to
branch out any. be sure to
include sheep in the list. 1t
will be no more difficult to
cotend with the enemies which
beset the sheep. than it will
be the black root, rust, cat
terpillar, holl worm and the
boil weevil upon your cot.
