Senator Sheppard. who is the author of

He predicted that the bill would be re-

However. there are opponents of the

then would come the fight for its con-

with the knowledge that the bill would

SHEEP CROP SHORT.
Live Stock Sanitary Board Finds Crop o
Stock Ewes Limited.

Sheep raisers. purchasing agents and
the Kentucky Livestock Sanitary Board
are confronted with a serious pr lblem
IN regard to the Importation of breed
ing ewes. The sheep industry in
Kentucky has grown IN the last three
or four years from about 800. 900 ewes
TO I, 300. 900 and the price of spring
lambs in this state. owing to their early
arrival. is such that the lambs weighing
go pounds bring more than their
mothers on the market. Consequently,
the lambs are sold off. few are saved
for stock ewes and each year a quarter
of million ewes are imported. This
spring the prices for lambs and sheep
broke the record and resulted in the
sale Of ewes for mutton, with the result
that the necessary importation of stock
ewes will exceed previous years.
How to safeguard the importation 80
as to prevent the possibility of the foot
and mouth disease being brought in is
the problem that the Livestock SAM
tary Board must solve. If the sheep
are. brought from the Far West, which
has been free from the infection, there
is danger of the disease being contract
ed from watering and feeding en- route.
The sanitary board will meet in Louis
willie on call of Commissioner of Agricul
ture Newman and consider ways aud
means. Lambs and wool brought into
Kentucky annually about s.. 200. 900 and
now exceed the value of the wheat
crop. The members IF the board hope
not to hamper the industry, and yet
must protest the live stock interests
generally from another outbreak and
the consequent quarantine.
