FARM
ANIMALS
CONTROL SHEEP-KILLlNG DOG
Secretary Of Agriculture Asks Twenty
Governors to Urge Laws Pro-
tecting Sheep.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
The enactment of more adequate
state laws to control sheep-killing
dogs is urged by Secretary Houston in
a letter just sent to the governors Of
~ states. The secretary points out
that, although there has been a graft
flying increase in the number Of sheep
III the United States in the past year,
there is room for further expansion of
the industry. Farmers, he says, are
discouraged in many instances from
keeping sheep on account of the dan.
ger of damage by dogs. The letters
were sent to the governors of Arkan-
sas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mary
land, Minnesota, Mississippi Missouri,
New Hampshire, North Carolina, Okla
hOma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin,
where state legislatures are now In
session. Following is the letter:
Il understand that many states now
have under consideration the matter Of
legislation to encourage the larger de-
velopment Of the sheep industry by re-
moving or controlling the dog menace
During the past year, as you perhaps
know, there has been a gratifying in
crease in the number Of sheep in the
United States There is undoubtedly
room in many sections of the country
for further expansion along this line,
especially ia tine settled farming areas.
The field representatives of this de-
partment, however, generally report
that farmers, are discouraged in many
instances from keeping sheep on ae-
count of the. danger OF damage by
dogs.

There's pest for every plant. Some
plants have more than thousand in

some portion of them, causing death
or injury. However, most of the pests
which attack our plants are native to
America and have natural enemies
which keep them in check

upon their backs to bite 'em.
And those again have lesser ffeas,

Thus native insects have a host Of
