PUREBRED SHEEP
ARE IN DEMAND

s. G. Alternately, county agent
has received the following com
munication from Division Of EXten,
sion, Knoxville:
From time to time orders have
come to this office through county
agents and farmers for purebred
sheep. In view of the large number
number of purebred sheep wanted
we have deemed it wise to compile
these orders and send Mr. Hite, the
sheep specialist, north to the flOcks
of reliable breeders anG make selec-
ton. Experience has proven that
by this method two rmngs may be
accomplished-sheep may be pur-
chased at a saving to the farmers
and a much higher <ype n Tam or
ewes may be secured for the pros
pective breeder.
In order to accomplish this it will
be necessary to secure the actual
number of sheep wanted, the names
of farmers wanting them, the breed
desired and the amount of money
they wish to spend in the purchase
of ewes or rams. Also, it will be
necessary to send the name of some
local bank on which Mr.. Hite may
draft at time of purchase.
The expenses of this trip must be
met by the farmers making pur-
chase. However, in view of the
number wanted this will amount to
very little, possibly not more than a
dollar or two per head.
Orders for sheep should be de-
finitely made up and forwarded to
the Division of Extension, University
of Tennessee, Knoxville, not later
than July %. Owing to the demand
for purebred sheep, breeders will be
sold short by August 10. Therefore,
it is necessary to get on the job at
once.
Purebred rams and ewes range in
prices from $4,000 to $4,000. Very
few, however, are quoted at the
lowe figure. A very good ram or
eve may be had from $1,000 to $50.
per head. Please urge that the
breeders give some leeway in price
that we may introduce more founda-
tion material in Tennessee.
Stock ewes may he had from the
following firms: Mcneil & Doyle, +.
Barry, Illinois; Wiley III. Fowler,
Penfield, Illinois; w. S. Nichols, |
Iowa; and W. P. Irland,
Pullman, West Virginia. Orders for
these ewes should be placed at the
earliest possible date in order that
you may get shirment before the
supply is exhausted.
Very truly yours,

Assistant Specialist in Animal
