gested tho following:
Progressive Alabama farmers, OF
whom the number is rapidly increas-

sheep. This cannot be done with
financial success so long as the cur dog
wanders about and deals death in the
shcepfold. The climate is here, the
food is here. all the conditions needed
10 raise sheep at minimum cost; the
dog alone stands in the way.
The Ledger. has this suggestion to
make: That the Auburn Institute
Farmers Alliance and the Progressive
Farmer undertake a systematic cam
paign of>education on the evil of the
cur dog and agree upon an adequate
dog law. which they Will unitedly pre-.
sent to the next Legislature and press
for adoption. The campaign of educa-
| ton will serve to establish public
opinion in rural districts and a united

that Will mean the obl'teration of the
