SHEEP INDUSTRY OPENS
IN MADISON COUNTY

JACKSON, Tenn, Aug. Z. (Spl.1-
The sheep growing industry in Madi-
son county Is making a very marked
increase, according to r. P, Hite, state
sheep specialist OF the division OF eX-
tension who Is spending a few days
here for the purpose Of Encouraging
sheep growing u this county. MIR.
Hite states that the number OF sheep
grown in Madison county this yea will
double the number that were raised
In all OF the counties OF West Tennes-
see. according to Mr.. Hite.
In addition 20 the car load Of ewes
that were shipped to this county about
two weeks ago at least W other
ties Of West Tennessee have imported
breeding ewes In car lots. II Is the
purpose OF the state specialist while
here to secure a number of ewes and
PLACE them on the West Tennessee ex-
pertinent farm as a demonstration and
to stimulate sheep growing In this
section, II IS stated that a demon
stratiou flock will be placed upon all
three Of the state experiment stations
this fall. With the present high price
which is being obtained for lambs and
wool through cooperative shipment,
Mr.. Hite is Of the opinion that there
Is a good profit in sheep growing in
this county.
He states that a small flock OF sheep
can be maintained on a farm with very
little trouble and with little more feed
than would otherwise be wasted. A
great boon to sheep growing as advo-
Gated by Mr.. Hite, is the sewing Of
winter clover crops. The best combi-
nation that can be obtained, he states.
Is crimson clover mixed with rye
This, he states, not only provides an
excellent winter pasture for light stock,
but improves the land and prevents
washing Of the soil. 1t is stated that
a greater effort is being made now than
ever before to perfect the co-opera-
tive shipping Of lambs and wool and
that the present opportunity for sheep
raising in Madison county is better
now than aver before.
