Would-be train wreckers. The men
wanted wired number Of tie plates
on top Of each other on both sides

RAISE MORE SHEEP.

Hon. James H. Stewart, commission
or or agriculture, has written to all
newspapers Of the state urging them
to join in an effort in West Virginia
to increase the number Of sheep.
at this time, says Mr.. Stewart, as
shown by assessors reports for 1916,
and more recent investigations. the
number Of sheep in West Virginia is
less than 1t has been for many years
The United States Department Of Ag-
riculture investigation shows in the
western range country a decrease of
20 to 80 per cent for the present wear.
"A great increase can be made in the
hocks Of West Virginia now if the
owners OF the land and the owners
or flocks already here will combine
to prevent the slaughter and shipmont
or eve lambs out Of the state. Pos
sibly 100000 or more valuable vounr
ewes can be added in the efforts to
replen1sh our focks. Instead Of hay
ing approximately a third OF a mil
lion sheep we should have several
million, and this is one Of the ways
by which we can reach this result.
Mr. Stewart also asks that this
matter be brought to the farmers at
tention very emphatically. Not only
should the farmers be urged to raise
more sheep but the attention OF deal
ers should be brought to the fact that
they can obtain as good prices by
selling direct to West Virginians as

Representatives Of the American

are that II one or more OF the COM

The breaking Of the war flooded the
bureau with piles of work. Director
