 SHEEP AND DOGS IN ONE COUNTY IN ARKANSAS
(Arkansas Gazette)


 It is well known as a general prop osition that dogs put great difficult ties in the way of the sheep industry. but for Washington county, Arkansas, some facts and figures are available. J. F. Blackstrom, demonstration agent for that county. sent questionnaire to 263 sheep and goat raisers and 135 of the forms were returned filled out All these 135 men expressed themselves in favor of a dog law. while 133 of them said that the flocks would be increased if protec- tion from dogs could be secured. The reports showed that during the last f2 months 251 sheep, valued at $3.20l. had been killed by dogs. and 161 goats, valued at $1 ,438. making a total loss to these 135 men of s4,639 from dogs. Some 30 men who did not return the questionnaire told MT. Blackstrom substantially what had been said in the filled out forms, while most of the farmers who do not own sheep or goats said when questioned that they were in favor of a dog law
 In commenting on this matter the Washington county is peculiarly adapted to the raising of sheep and goats. There are thousands of acres of little use for other purposes, that could and would be made profitable

fl sheep killing dogs could be elin- mated
 A dog law would be worth htue without the support of public sentl- ment. but the wool shortage produc- ed by the war, the hign prlce or all metals and the attention that Is pc ing given in the public prints to the evil of the sheep killing dog snouid go far toward getting public senu- ment behind the measure or reiieI.

THE MISSOURI MULE ABROAD

A long and patient but vain effort on the part of a khaki clad driver to induce a mule, drawing what ap- peared to be a load of laundry, through a gateway of local hospital afforded considerable amusement to the boys in blue who were watching the proceedings. The mule would do anything but pass through the gate way
 Want any 'elp, chum," shouted one of the boys in blue, as he rested a moment.
