The Is sheep-extensiOn men OF

agriculture now working in co.
operative demonstration projects
with state extension forces will be
under the supervision OF G. H.
Bedell, who was formerly county
agent of Gree couty, Pa. Mr..
Bedell has been appointed specialist
in sheep husbandry and began his
work in the federal department
March II. The work of the depart
ment's extension man in louisiana
is illustrative of what these workers
are doing in many parts OF the
country to improve the sheep in
dustry. He assisted in bringing the
sheepmen of that state together at
a meeting of livestock raisers which
resulted in the organization of the
Louisiana Sheep Breeders and
Wood Growers association. The
purpose of this organization is to
interest farmers in raising more and
better sheep, to sell their wool clips
comparatively, and to unite them in
their fight against sheep-killing
dogs.
