KEEP SHEEP ON FARM
Good Profit for Kansas Farmers
StockweH Tells State Board.

with lambs selling well above SIS

of sheep ,respondingly high, with
wool buyers securing the country
eager to contract spring clips at 80
cents per pound. to my notion, 1t ls
time the Kansas farmers were awak-
ening to the possibilities of the small
farm flock" This was the declara-
ton at the Kansas state board OF aSrl-
culture meeting here today of A l.:
Stockwell. farmer and sheep raiser OF
Larned. Kan.
& Mr.. StockweIl explained that Kansas
needs millions of sheep to take care OF
the weeds and waste of our fields. He
suggested one sheep for every four
acres in place of one sheep for every
$50 acres as it now is.
'"rhe farm flock will convert the
waste and weeds of our farms into
high priced wool and mutton without
displacing any other live stock now
being handled on the farm said Mr.
Stockwell. MANY of the weeds that
are crowding out the grasses in our
pastures and meadows today are
relished by sheep. An instance that
came under my observation was
small pasture along a creek bottom
that had been used for number of
years as a winter feed lot for cattle.
In the summer this pasture grew up
to dense growth of ragweed, ironweed.
cockleburs and didn't afford grazing
for single COW. Forty sheep were
purchased and after the second year
no weeds could be seen and a good turf
of grass was the result"

"IT'S GOOD BUSINESS. "

II attend Farmers Week at the
College of Agriculture every year, be-
cause l can't afford to stay away
Farmers Week makes me worth
more to myself, to my family and to
the community in which 1 live. It's

Thus one Missouri farmer
explains his visit to the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture dur
ing Farmers Week. Thousands OF
Missouri's most progressive farmers
have the same testimony to offer.
This explains why 2,O27 persons
from 81 counties of Missouri and
from IA other States registered
during the 1917 Farmers Week.
1t paid. 1t was good business"
Aside from this dollar-and-cent
consideration Farmers Week offers

The Centralia Courier makes mon.
tion as follows: Seven years ago
Uncle Heck" Cox gave Mrs. Jessie
Riggs two lambs which were LEFT on
his hands when the mother eve died.
Mrs. Riggs succeeded in raising one
of the lambs, an eve. She kept all
the eve lambs from this one and has
them today. She sold the buck
lambs and the wool from all the lit
tie growing herd, which brought her
over $500. She now has 25 ewes and
the old mother eve of all of them, or
26 head of ewes, each of which is
worth $25, or $3.50 for the bunch,
which with the $500 in cash, the
bucks and the wool, will give her
$1,150 from the increase of one eve
lamb in seven years. All on no in
vestment except her time and labor
and the feed. If Mrs. Riggs has con-
tinued good luck with her ewes we
believe she can clear $1,000 above all
expenses in eight years.

of seed corn for next year is predict
ed.
