some change is made in the present

department, or unless some unexpect-

Sheep Raising In Georgia

Atlanta.-In view of the record that
for twenty years or more the worlds
supply of sheep has diminished while
the demand for wool and mutton has
increased, present efforts to introduce
sheep raising in Georgia on an extern
sive scale appear most timely and
profitable. Experts of the State Col
lege of Agriculture who recently have
been experimenting to this end in some
of the southern counties are much en-
couraged. 1t is altogether an errone-
GUS idea, they say, that sheep will not
thrive in a warm climate. The two
essentials, they point out, are an abun-
dance of grazing and an absence of
vagrant dogs.

present at the fetes in honor OF King
Victor Emmanuel of Italy, according
to the Echo de Paris, but it is prob
able that he and the king will ex-
change calls.
1t now is apparent that the presi-
dents visit to Italy will be postponed
until the middle or the latter part OF
January, as his time meanwhile will
be fully occupied in meeting the po-
litical leaders coming from various
points, in attending the opening ses-
sions of the inter-allied conference
and the peace conference, in visits to
the American front and the French
and Belgian devastated regions, and
probably a visit to Brussels and King
Albert of Belgium.
