PuchaSe of go, 900 head Of sheeD
from Montana growers at a cost Of
5000, 700 for distribution in North
Dakota and western Minnesota
farms was announced at Mime
apOlis a few days ago by north
west railroad officials. The DIP
chase represented the largest NUM-
Der Of sheep ever to be shipped ont
OF Montana for distribution to
northwestern farms, livestock ex-
perts declared at Minneapolis.
The sheep purchased are all breed
ing ewes, chiefly yearlings, and are
to be used as part Of the agricultur-
al Vers1ficatiOn program in the spring
wheat growing areas.
or the $4,000 head, $4,000 were
purchased by funds advanced to the
farmers by the Agricultural credit
corporation, a $40, 100000 company
organized and financed a few years
ago during the agricultural depres-
sion in the northwest.
Railways Cooperate
The purchase transactions were
made through the cooperation of the
agricultural development agents of
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and 500 railroads. Announcement
of the purchase of the sheep was
made at Minneapolis by e. G. Leedy.
]. w. Haw and H. F. Funston, the
livestock experts and DEVELOPMENT
agents Of the Great Northern, North
ern Pacific and 500 Line, respectiV-
ely.
The sheep now are being delivered
and distributed under the direction
of county agents cooperating with
the railroad officials and relief cor
portion. The ewes were purchased
in Montana because of the high
grade sheep raised on Montana rang
es and from the best bands in that
state, Mr.. Haw and Mr.. Leedy said.
These railroad officials spent a
portion of the summer in contract
ing for the sheep, purchasing them
at prices ranging from $9.75 to Sill
30 a head. They were chiefly year
lings and fullmouth ewes, Mr.. Haw
said, and were purchased at prices
advantageous to farmers. It was es-
timated in consideration of the fall
advance in prices that the purchasers
realized saving of from 81 to $3.50
head because of the figures named
in the contracts earlier in the season.
Three Year Payment Plan
Farmers were advanced the money
for making their purchases at six
per cent interest on a three year pay
ment plan, with comparatively easy
payments during this period. The
sheep will be distributed among
about 900 farms with an average of
| so going to each, Mr.. Haw said.
'The plan has been to make the
distribution as general as possible,
preventing any speculation and Civ
ing the farmers the opportunity OF
diversifying their agricultural meth
ods," Mr.. Haw continued in an in
terview in Minneapolis.
"The first shipment was made July
1 and another on August 25. These
will continue until October 10, wher
the entire $4,000 will have been de-
livered."
In addition to the deals handled
Iidirectly by the railroads and the re-
lief corporation, many farmers il
North Dakota an Minnesota have
been able to purchase sheep mum
bering about $1,000 from private
concerns. Last year, high prices
made it impractical to attempt thii
distribution economically, Mr.. Hav
said.

to stop the immediate fountain Of
blood. After examination il was de-
ciGed not to cut the valve as had
been intended hut merely L. dilate

did slowly and with infinite care and
without mishap. The periCardium

statement last night announced it
would welcome a study of the civil
service system by a committee OF off,
Gals of large private corporations, as
suggested yesterday by Senator VIII
liam II. King, Democrat. of Utah.
Senator King had voiced the belief
that the administration of the civil
service law makes it possible for in
efficient workers to remain in the Gov
eminent departments for years. He
said he was considering offering a bill
which would call for survey of the
civil service by men experienced In
handling large private concerns.
The Civil Service Commission stated
that it would welcome and be glad to
cooperate in any such survey by I'M
biased executives of private business
who are familiar with modern EN-
ployment methods. such as the exec
utives in charge of employment prac-
tees in the international Harvester
