written several articles very an

New York Sun in which he says
that both the Danish king and
premier are pro-Germans, and
that Denmark is today the most
unfriendly of all neutrals''. He
claims that the allies have the
entire Danish peope against

new proof of the amazing misin-

Nordquist, young Swedish-Am-

toned in official dispatches be-
cause of unusually brave action
aboard the armed American
freighter, "Chincha." The boat
had been attacked by German

personal bravery of Nordquist,

Sheen Raising in Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. An con-
nection with the discussion now go
ing the rounds of the Georgia press
in regard to the opportunities for
sheep raising in this state, Martin V.
Calvin of Marietta, president, OF the
Georgia State Agricultural Society,
has just given out some very inter
esting and valuable data. Mr. Calvin
is a skilled statistician and agricul-
tural specialist, and speaks by the
card.
AS he points out, the sheep raising
industry in Georgia is far removed
from the experimental stage, having
been tried and proven profitable years
ago. In 1874, when the state depart
ment of agriculture was created, it
was proclaimed that every acre OF
Georgia land would sustain at least
one sheep. During the seventies,
David Ayers of South Georgia and
Robert C. Humber of middle Geor-
gia, handling from $500 to 1000 sheep,
realized a net profit of 80 to 100 per
cent on capital and labor invested.
The pasturage they used was wire
grass and Bermuda grass.
Sheep raising was successfully prae-
ticed in the decade beginning in 1880,
but twenty years later the farmers
began to lose interest in sheep and
the industry gradually dropped awoy
to almost nothing. J. II. Delfelder,
a prominent Wyoming sheep rancher.
recently completed tour of the graz
ing lands of south Georgia and de-
livered an address in Savannah de-
claring them ideally suited to the in
dustry.
