Farm Notes.

Sheep growers in l6 counties
saved q cents per pound on
134,29l pounds of wool by selling
through cooperative wool pools
this season.
Well bred livestock enables
the farmer to produce beef,
pork and mutton at a lower cost
per pound. The quickest and
most economical way to breed up
livestock is to use the purebred
sire. The scrub sire is handi-
cap that has cost untold fortunes.

Lawrence County. lined six
acres of land, using two tons of
crushed rock, finely ground, to
the acre. This year he baled
two tons of red clover hay from
