crs' Week. which is the week an
aunlly devoted to meetings and con
fcrcnces in Lexington of persons en-
gagged IN the various agricultural and
kindred pursuits. the Kentucky Sheep
Growers Association held a series Of
open public meetings for the pur-
pose Of preparing bill to promote
the sheep industry was present at
two Of these meetings At these
meetings. which were exceptionally
well attended, many ideas and sug-
gestions were advanced and discussed
at length.
Finally all the suggestions were
turned over TO a committee Of five,
composed Of the following prominent
Kentucky farmers DR. r. H. Steven

the State Sheep Growers Association;

have the knack of getting itself en-
foroed-a most important matter A
law which is a perfectly good law in
other respects, but which does not
contain provisions which make it en-

PREVENTION BETTER
THAN CURE.

TAX PAYER seems to hold that to
encourage sheep raising it Is necess-
AIRY only to pay the damages when
sheep are He'd by dogs. The
trainers of the present dog law. the
State Sheep Growers Association,
thought otherwise.
On the principle that we need a fire
department to put out fires, as well
as fire insurance companies to pay
fire losses. that prevention may be
better than cure, the sheep growers
held that it is highly desirable to stop
sheep killing as far as possible, as
well as to pay sheep losses when they
occur.
1t was stated again and again, in
the discussions of the proposed law,
that to create sheep fund was only
one object. to reduce the number of
sheep killed being the other. and
equally important, object.
One excellent way to reduce sheep
killing is to get rid of the large num-
Der Of worthless dogs in the country
at large. 1t was held that these dogs
would be eliminated to the degree in
which the law was enforced To Sc
cure the enforcement 1t was held &c
be good policy to create more or less
expensive instrumentalties for the
enforcement of the law.
The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1919-05-01
RESULTS THUS FAR.

The showing on March 3lst would
lNdicatc that the enforcement Of the
present law is without precedent in
this state.
Up to March 3lst Fayette County
had collected S360j00 and killed 1872
dogs. How many worthless dogs in
this and other counties were killed by
their owners to escape taxation will
never be known,
During the wnole of 1918 t'ayette
County collected $972 and killed. no
dogs
Up to March 3lst Madison County
had collected Si079 and had killed
l3 dogs.
During the whole of 1915 Madison
County collected Sl355, and, under
stand, killed no dogs.
Up to March 3lst Garrard County
had collected $l9l4, and had killed
dogs.
During the whole of 1915 Garrard
County collected 1897, and killed no
dogs.
For the whole state the number of
dogs licensed by the county clerks up
to a short time ago, was something
like 275,000. according to the Com
missioner Of Agriculture. During
the whole of 1918 the number of
dogs taxed was 93,l20.
As for money going to the live
stock fund after all expenses have
been paid. Fayette County had by
the end of March laid by considerably
more than twice as much as il laid by
during the whole Of 1918; Madison
County nearly twice as much: and
Garrard County S222,sS more than
in 1918.

LEAVE IT TO SHEEP GROWERS

But in regard to this costly ma
chinery, to which objection is made
by some, let Us remember that this is
the sheep growers own law. They
made it. IL is for them, primarily.
II they think it wise to pay well the
assessor and the county clerk and the

hands of the Commissioner of Agri-
culture for enforcement of this law,
pray let them do it. 1t is quite pos
sible that the operation of the law
will so reduce the amount of sheep
losses that the fund arising from the
law will more than pay the losses.
1t is also quite likely that exper-
fence and practical trying-out will
show where this law can be improved.
Few things human are gotten right
the first time. The Constitution of
the United States was amended
twelve times the first year, and seven
times since that
| suggest that the reasonable thing
for the voters to do is to let the sheep
growers amend their own law. Their
state and county associations are con
tinuing bodies with regular meetings.
If they want a change they will GER
tainly let it be known.
