February 9Th to 28th--2O Days!

This is the greatest sale we have put ON since
1915. just make it a point to read every item and
compare it with the other fellows prices and ask
him why he can't cut prices occasionally. For
years we have talked sales u stores in all lines,
but outside of Burks Plain Price store nobody ev~
er advertised cut prices consistently until this
January. Now they have the fever Who is the
winner? The consumcr-and if you stop minute
you mltst admit that Vel has always had the con-
sumefs interest at heart and he made money by
it.~Make your Grocer cut his prices or STOP
EATING until he does. In the meantime buy some
OF the goods advertised here He will then tumble
his WAR PRICES. Another thing do not
always blame the packer the manufacturer
and the jobber for the high prices but
put the blame where it belongs and where the gov
eminent has found it belongs in many cases
with the retailer in all linas--he is trying to get
war prices now Tell him to wake up and follow
the markets the same as he so eagerly did
when goods were jumping daily during war
years. The fault lies mostly with the retailer.
Just take note of our prices on Canned Vegeta-

SHEEP.

Every farm in Ward county should
be stocked with some sheep. During
the last three years the wool and NUT
ton prices have risen constantly until
this spring a large percentage of the
! wool in this county went to market
at 45 to 30 cents per pound and spring
lambs will bring the sheep raisers
from 50 to $40 this fall.
! The cost of feeding sheep is so
small compared with the gains that
it makes sheep raising very profit
able business. Sheep are natural
cleaners and they pick up great deal
of the waste about the farm. They
thrive on what cannot be fed profit
ably to other classes Of live stock
and the farmer who has a few sheep
/ has an outlet for waste products
which otherwise would bring no profit.
! Doubtless every farmer in Ward
county realizes the necessity for more
and better live stock, they know that
the time to discontinue wheat farming
exclusively has come and that there
is no better time than the present to
make the change.
| Of course, it takes capital to make
| the change and that is one. reason for
! advocating beginning in sheep in a
| small way. The profits are greater,
! the risk less and the investment is not
! SO great.
! We will assume that farmer Dor
! rows the money to stock his farm with
! twenty head of bred ewes this fall.
! The cost to put the sheep on his farm
will be 100000. These he will carry
over winter at cost of SIS each, or
500, making total investment of
1 $500.
| The ewes will clip eight pounds
! apiece, which at so cents per pound
will bring $50 in June. Each eve will
produce one lamb, which is low aY-
/ erage. These twenty lambs in the
| fall will bring the farmer 5000, max
ing a total income from the sheep Of
$3.50, or 70 per cent on the investment.
Allowing per cent for borrowing the
money, the farmer still has an income
of 81 per cent from his sheep.
/ Most farmers object to sheep on the
grounds that he has no fence. 1t will
/ cost $3.50 to build enough good sub
stantial fence for the twenty head.
J Add $3.50 to the cost Of the sheep and
feed, making $3.50 as a total invest
rlent. The farmer will still realize 80
Per cent on his investment and have
some good woven wire fence on his
farm which is always an asset and in
creases it's value.
Aside from the direct profit, the
| farmer gets from his sheep, they clean
up the weeds about the farm and fur
rish fertilizer.
The farmer-who puts in few sheep
this fall is taking step in the right
direction, and he is beginning in a
small way to solve one of the most
serious agricultural problems we have
in the western half of this state, that
Of getting the farms properly stock
ed, which will eventually lead to more
cultivated crops and more diversified
farming.
! Any farmer wishing to buy sheep
this fall or to get more information on
them should get in touch with Norbert
D. German, Ward County Agent, al
once.
