LAMB PRODUCTION INCREASED
 BY LIBERAL FEEDING

Specialized sheep farming. in which forage crops were used for the sum mer pasture, and a study of the rela ton of nutrition of ewes at breeding time to the percentage of lambs pro duced were included in the experimen- tai work conducted last year by the United States Department of Agri- culture at the Government farms al Beltsyille Md, and Middlebury, Vt.
 DaA were obtained relative to the comparative relish with which sheep ate different forage crops and the gains made while pasturing upon them. II was demonstrated that with the ire quent rotation necessary in pasturing forage crops. sheep could be successful ly raised without danger of infesta- tion by stomach worms or other inter. nal parasites. Experiments in the last four years to test the effect of feed at breeding time upon the size of the ldinD crop nave SHOWD All lnCTedSt oI 1S.s per cent of lambs produced by increased nutrition of ewes during mating season for both Belasville and Middlebury. This is an increase of 25.9 per cent in the Beltsvillee flock and S,55 per cent in the Middlebury flock.
 In experiments with 120 western ewes at the Midlebury farm to test the effect of running sheep in perman- ent pasture upon the growth of weeds, and the carrying capacity of the fields, it has been demonstrated that sheep are btneficial in cleaning pastures of weeds, but that 1t must be accomplished gradually and should not be overem- phasized as a reason for engaging in sheep raising.

CIGARETTE
 SALES LICENSED
SENATE PASSES BILL THAT WOUL REPEAL PRESENT
 DEAD LETTER LAW.

The senate went on record yesterday as fayoring the repeal Of Arkansas dead letter anti-cigarette law when. by vote of 20 to II, it pass ed the Johnston Thompson -Ccott-Deisch measure which provides for licensing the sale of cigarettes.
 Charges by opponents of the meas ure that the repeal bill seeks to license an evil' were met with the flat charge of Senator Owens of Pulaski county that the original bill was lobbied through the Arkansas legislature by a single big tobacco company, and that it's sole purpose was TO put rival com pany out of business. However, the eff feet of the war which brought ciga- rettes out of Semi-hiding and into al most universal use was manifested in the lack of oratory on the alleged evils of the habit and although the passage of the measure was opposed by almost il third of the Senate the opposition WAS comparatively light.
