Sounds Well-On Paper.

A recent news item from Charles
ton, W. Va, says:
The State Department of Agriculture
Is promoting a deal in which a number
OF western people are interested,
which, if consummated, will convert
West Virginia into one of the greatest
sheep and cattle raising States in the
Union, II was disclosed here by Capt
S. L. Parsons, special agent of the de
partment. The provisions of the
agreement now being made provide
that number of western sheep grow
ers, whose names were not divulged,
are to bring between 800 and 1000
head of sheep into the State and allow
them to Craze on large tract OF land
for two years as an experiment. The
growers are to keep a correct account
of the production of wool and lambs
If the experiment is successful the
western people will agree to purchase
all lands in the State on which the tim
Der has been cut and convert them into
huge sheep-growing ranches. This
deal is said to be one of the biggest
in real estate that has ever been I'M
dertaken, and, if it is consummated
thousands of acres of land will change
hands and thousands Of head of sheep
will be raised
The land which the Department Of
Agriculture has in view for the expert
ment is a part of $4,000 acres in Poca-
hontas, Randolph and Pendleton coun-
ties, West Virginia, and Highland
county, Virginia. Several hundred
acres Of this tract have been cleared
by forest fires, and is in excellent blue
grass.
West Virginia soil is we'll adapted
TO sheep and cattle grazing because of
its superior quality of blue grass. it
is said. AS soon as the land is cleared,
heavy blue grass grows freely. This is
particularly true in the mountainous
regions of Pocahontas and other coun-
ties. The climate on the mountains is
excellent for sheep and the lowlands
may be used for cattle grazing.
