With the gradual

the western ranges in tIiNcDun-
try, the region where Copper cent.
of the sheep in the United States
have been maintained for the
past decade, and with the increas-
ing taste for lamb which the
American people are developing,
together with the ever increasing
population, the question, who
will produce the future supply Of
mutton in the form of lamb for
the American people?" arises.
For some time Kentucky has
been a rather important supply
factor in the spring lamb trade,
being, as a State, admirably add
apted to participate proftably in
a large indutry of this kind, but
up to the present time, she has
never produced anywhere near
the number of the spring lambs
which her natural facilities just
ify.
The advantages of Kentucky
as a sheep State are numerous,
the climate is most favorable and
permits a pasturing season of
long duration. The summers are
not extremely hot and the win
rers are rather moderate. There
is an abundance of low priced
grazing land, excellent tranporta-
ton facilities and the best of mar
kets.
At Louisville, Kentucky during
the month of June, 1914, the top
price of spring lambs was 5000
or better every day, and the
market situation both present
and prospective is one that fore
tells good prices for several years
to come. This does not mean
that q large proportion of the
farmers of the State should go
extensively into the sheep bust
ness, but there is aplace on near
ly every farm for a small flock of
ewes, maintained as a mutton
proposition, with wool as an i'm
portant by-product.
Kentucky has approximately
25S, 1876 farms carrying less than
one million sheep of shearing age,
shearing a fleece of 4.6 lbs. aver
age weight. The average
acreage of these farms is $3.50
acres of which an average of So. a
acres are under good cultivation.
There is no class of live stock
which would more proftably uti-
lie the remaining SO.2 acres Of
land than the sheep. These
farms could easily carry fifteen

the following interview
about a month ago when l de-

Democracy Of the state for my nomi-
nation for Senator at the primary last
August, and to the people OF Kentucky
generally for their ratification OF that
nomination at the polls in November,

Senate, was naturally anxious to have
the appointment approved by the cleo

sanguine expectations.
Furthermore as a matter OF sentl

a seat in the United States Senats
