County sheep must be dipped this

DR.. Robertson also states that the
only dip which the government will
recognize in cooperative work is
tobacco or lime and sulphur.
1t will assist greatly in the early
dipping of these sheep if as few watts
as possible are used. There are
about IL watts planned for these
