SHEEP RAISING
MORE POPULAR
Industry Grows Rapidly in
Three Years; 10000 Sheep
in County.

The raising of sheep for wool is
rapidly becoming more popular in
Grand Forks county. according to Rex
E. Willard. who has just returned
from Montana, where he purchased
six carloads of sheep for county farm
erS.
There are now nearly 10000 head
of sheep in the county n while a
few farmers have had small lots of
them for a number Of years, the main
growth of this industry has pee made
during the last three years.
Farmers of the county are becom-
ing more and more actively alive to
the benefits and profits to be gained
by wool raising in this locality and
it is expected that the mex year will
see a marked development of the in
dustry in Grand Forks county.
Sheep Are Profitable.
If a farmer gives ordinary care and
attention to his sheep he will gener-
ally secure an annual profit Of fifty to
n hundred per cent on his invest
ment, according to the county agent.
Mr.. Willard cites the instance of one
farmer here who invested $500 in
ewes a year age and When he sold
Gut this fall he secured s1.40O for the
ewes, lambs and wool. This particu-
lar instance is not typical Of what all
m can 90, says Mr.. Willard. but
it is a good example of the profits to
be made in this branch of farming.
Sheep are a valuable asset to a farm
in that they keep it practically cleaned
of weeds as almost all varieties of
weeds growing in this county will be
eaten by sheep. particularly the stlv
thistle. The animals can be turned
into a corn field and tanbs viii eat

CAR OF SUGAR
REACHES CITY
Is Being Apportioned Out
Among Local Jobbers,
Then to Retailers.

Some relief from the sugar short
age was obtained in Grand Forks to-
day when a car of sugar reached the
city and the 900 sacks Of sugar con-
tanned were apportioned among the
local jobbers by the railway agents.
The jobbers in turn are apportion-
ing the sugar among their customers.
1t was explained by the jobbers,
however. that this sugar is not all
for Grand Forks. but must be xdivid-
ed by them among all the customers
OF their territory. 1t is probable that
most of the retail houses will not re-
cetve more than n or two sacks
each.
1t is reported that there is more
sugar on the way. and with what ar
rived today carefully apportioned
among the consumers, 1t is believed
that the worst Of the sugar shortage
may be found to be past,
