SHEEP INCREASE
NEEDED BY army
Wool Production Now Only so Per
Cent of Amount Required for
Peace Times.
RAISE NORE FOR SOLDIERS
Department of Agriculture Urges More
Attention to Industry Especially in
Eastern and Southern Portions
of Country.

Pointing out the serious shortage of
wool at time when this material IS
OF such vital Importance in war opera
tons, the department of agriculture
In its agricultural program for 1918
urges that an effort be made to in
crease the production of sheep and
wool. Increase in farm flOcks is rec
commended wherever conditions are
favorable and the first cost of stocking
is not too high.
Amount of Wool Produced.
The wool produced in this country
furnishes only about so per cent of
the amount used in peace times; the
war demands have emphasized the
seriousness of this domestic shortage.
10 equip two million soldiers and
clOthe them for one year would re-
quire the entire quantity of wool
grown annually in this country.
During recent years we have shorn
about 80 million fieeces annually, and
the pulled wool taken from sheep and
lambs slaughtered for meat brings the
total clip up to the equivalent of about
40 million fleeces. If all this wool
were suitable for military use, it
would supply only two million men.
The production of wool in the United
States has remained practically sta
tionary from 1914 to 1917, while I'M
ports increased 4S per cent, and the
estimated net supply increased only
about 81 per cent.
Mutton and Wool.
That mutton and wool production in
this country can be increased greatly
admits Of no doubt. This can be ac-
complished by developing sheep hus-
bandry on farms, especially in the
Eastern and Southern Otates. Steps
should be taken in the East and
South to do away with the sheep-kilI-
Ing dog menace by state or local
action. Large results can be secured
by improving methods of breeding and
on the range; by secur-
Ing the restocking of improved farm
lands with sheep; by the larger use of
forage crops and pastures; by en-
sheep and lamb clubs; by
the elimination of parasites; by pro-
lection against losses from predatory |
animals; and by having lambs ready |
fo- market at from 70 to so pounds |
weight thereby requiring minimum
Of grain to finish them and making
possible the maintenance of larger
fiocks.

Feeds which have little or no market

Breed the best to the best to pro-

Sheep are scavengers enough to keep
the farm cleaned up of weeds and a
class Of cheap feed that cattle do not
utilize, though they cannot subsist on
this alone.

Aiding Farmers by Groups.

One Of the important ways in which
a county agricultural agent serves the
farmers in community is by means
of farm management demonstrations.
In most communities there are a few
farmers who are much more success
full than the average of the rest of the
farmers in that community, and at the
same time they are working under
very similar conditions, with similar
soil, climate, transportation facilities,
and the same marketk In conducting
farm management demonstrations,
groups of farmers are assisted in keep
ing records of their business. Each
farmer is assisted in determining from
these records what labor income he re-
'ceives for his years work and what
each part Of his farm contributed
toward this income. At the same time
he is given certain information regard
ing how some of his more successful
neighbOrs conduct their business.
