INTEREST AROUSED IN
MAINE SHEEP GROWING

W 4. Lowell OF Portland. representing
the Farmers Club OF that city, was In
the city Friday presenting the plan Of
the club in their endeavor to stimulate
the sheep industry in Maine. The best OF
the plar Is that there is in no part OF 1t
4 hint Of personal gain, but splendid
effort on the part OF the Farmers Clue
20 boom an industry which has been al
lowed to decline.
Mr.. Lowell said that the demands upon
the wool crop are great and will be
greater. and the fact that there is no
rcme-back to the product-that once used
II Is gone forever-makes the need of pro-
ducing a momentous question. The Maine
fleece WOOL Is very desirable and is prfn-
cipaily used in New York state and the
Knox wooden mills in Camden. While not
all breeds OF sheep will thrive in this
northern country, many think that the
lest breeds are the oxford Downs and
the Shropshires. The Cheviots are COM
Ing into the market and are fashionable
iust al present. but the others are COM
monty believed to be good breeds for this
part of the country.
For this proposition. which the Farm
ers' Club presents, will be asked the sup
port and backing Of all Chambers Of
Commerce Boards of Trade and all ag-
riculutal organizations. The Farmers
Club is financing the enterprise and will
stand back OF 1t way through. Some
people are being solicited. il they wish
TO make a contribution, but the Farmers
Club pays the bills If any are incurred.
The club 10 trying to get some sheep
producer to say that he will sell 200
sheep and the club will bring the animals

and they feel that this would be an in
ducement for farmers to attend the fairs.
The club promises to give the sheep rails
er guarantee for the price for which
he will be willing to sell his sheep. They
will then sell TO the highest bidder and

will be paid to the raiser by the Farmers
club. The idea is not to make money by
selling the sheep. or to sell a lot to on.
man. but to introduce good .sheep OF five
or 10 in a lot to the farmers in Maine.
There js TO be a big sheep show at
Portland Feb. ! and 6. to be held by the
Portland Farmers Club. and they hope
TO have at least 800 farmers at the meet

doubtful when more can be obtained
