Sheep Growers Realizing Value Of
Purebred Rams.


The annual loss on lambs alone
shipped from Henry county amounts
to more than $4,000 because Of the
use of the scrub ram at the head of
flocks, according to County Agent
James A. Patrick. This loss has been
brought home to the farmers through
cooperative marketing of lambs this
year, which enables them to see their
lambs graded and to learn the price
each grade brought, which emphasized
Importance Of good breeding in the
production of lambs that bring top
prices. More than 500 lambs were
shipped comparatively from the coun-
ty this season and half of them grad
ed as No. rs and 3's. Agent Patrick
is putting these facts up to the farm
ers in drive for purebred rams,
which is meeting with splendid sue
cess.
In Hickman county two carloads Of
lambs were shipped comparatively.
Before shipment they were assembled,
graded and weighed. Separate pens
were arranged for the different
classes of lambs, so that the farmers
might see the lambs and the price
each brought. This sale and demon
stration was attended by 60 farm
ers and as result four purebred
rams were placed.
The value of the purebred ram to
use on common ewes has been demon
strated to the satisfaction of the
farmers in Humphreys county. A
number have already been purchased,
and County Agent T. H. Richardson
states that about 20 will be placed be-
fore the breeding season opens. Sew
eral farmers Of the county used pure
bred rams the past season and they
have shipped about five times more
ton lambs than ever before.
In one. county last year four car
loads Of lambs were shipped to
market and only about go Of the whole
lot sold at top prices. A number of
purebred rams were placed in the
county and this year more than half
of each carload shipped topped the
market.
Specialists Of the Division Of Ex-
tension state that farmers should pur-
chase purebred rams Immediately
that they may become accustomed to
their new home before the breeding
season, which opens about August is. |

Fair Season Near at Hand-Arrange
10 Make an Exhibit,


The fair season is near at hand and
every farmer should be interested in
making an exhibit. 1t is a fine thing
to have the best of something in the
county or community. 1t is a fine
thing to strive to have the best Of
something in the county or COM
munity.
It may be the best now or the fin
est bull, or ram, or hog, or mule, or
corn, or potatoes, or hay, or wheat, or
any other product of the field, 1t
Doesn't matter so much which product
is the best, provided only that YOU
have the ambition to have something
best. For the desire to have the very
best Of anything will inevitably
breed in you qualities that will give
greater success in all lines of effort.
1t will make you more careful and
persistent and thoroughgoing in your
struggle for the highest perfection.
You will learn more about the best
methods. And you will practice more
of the best methods you already
know. You will also find more zest
and eagerness in doing your work.
Then, after you have worked to pro
duce something that is best you should
exhibit it at your county, district or
state fair. Making an exhibit will
help you with other people. Finding
that you have attained high STAN
dard of progress or achievement will
inspire others to do likewise.
The whole year will be- happier if
you decide now to select some crop or
animal, or some form of household
and exhibit it at some fair
IN the fall. If prize is won, good
and well. If not, the knowledge
yained and the progress made will
alone be worth all the effort.

CRAIG PREPARES DATA
FOR HYLAN INQUIRY
Will Testify of Conditions
in City Departments.

Comptroller Charles l.. Craig. who is
expected to be an important witness be-
fore the legislative committee investi-
eating the Hylan administration, was
understood yesterday to be working
upon affairs in at least three city de-
partments which viii be presented 10
the committee, Two OF those depart
ments were said to be that Of the Bor-
ough President OF Queens and the ONCE
Of the City Chamberlain Whether the
data assembled by the Comptroller viii
reveal anything further than the COM
plants he has made already regarding
the sewer contracts in Queens and the
conflict OF authority between his office
and that OF the Chamberlain could not
be learned. Mr. Craig declined TO dis
cuss his work in that connection.
Democratic members OF the city ad-
ministration expressed much doubt OF
the ability OF the committee to live up
to the mark set for II by Samuel $.
koenig, chairman Of the New York
county Republican committee. who was
quoted recently as saying that the COM
mittee ought TO be able to save the city
FIVE times as much as Gov. Miller's
finahcial policy saved for the State.
It was conceded that few thousand
dollars might be saved here and there
in the various departments. but any
thing like a saving OF an appreciable
number Of millions was not regarded
seriously. One official was Of the opinion
that the committee might possibly save
very substantial sum in the engineer
ing bureaus of the Borough Presidents
and that something might be cut down
in the Department Of Plant and
Structures.
In other departments. such as the
Police Department the Fire Department
and the Department of Street Cleaning.
all of which are big spenders, the
opinion was expressed that the cuts
would be negligible without endanger-
ing the convenience and welfare Of the
public. Consolidation Of departments
and bureaus, 1t was stated. will mean
little more than placing two working
bodies under one control Approximately
the same number of men would be re-
quired still to do the work
Cor solidate? Surely" said one ofii-
cial Il could consolidate these two
bureaus here to-day simply by knocking
out the partition between them, but II
wouldn't save any money and would
only result in confusion and incon-
venience to the public with whom they
deal"
