Traditions of
Sheep Disproved
Coverings of Wool Over the
Face Does Not Indicate
Its Quality.

prepared by the United states Department
of Agrcuture)
Traditionally sheepmen have be-
lieved that the best sheep have COW
erings of wool over their faces. An.
other common belief was that folds
around the neck and shoulders of a
sheep was an indication of a fleece
of superior quality and value. An
other idea commonly held was that
the weather exercised a controlling
influence in the quality and quantity
of wool.
/. Bring Out Facts.
Research work by the United States
Department of Agriculture has dis
proved two of these ideas and con-
tirmed the other, bur with a highly
important modification To bring out
the facts, the department workers
have for years carried on painstak-
ing investigations, using methods
which they admit seem wasteful and
useless until the methods and results
are understood.
The bureau of animal industry
maintains flock of sheep in east
ern Idaho. Each June at shearing
time each sheep is identified, weighed,
and sheared. The staple is meas
ured. The fleece is weighed sam
pie is inclOsed in tin container and
sent TO the United States Experiment
farm. Beltsville. Md In the wool
laboratory skilled workers dry the
samples in an electric conditionin.
oven and get the mOisture-free
weight. They remove grease with
carbon tetrachloride and the dirt by
special securing process. Another
drying makes possible determination
of the weight of clean wool and of
dirt. Thus it is possible to compile
a complete record of each sleeps
production each year and for success
sive years.
Constant culling Wise.
These records have disproved the
first two ideas which were widely be-
lieved. Weather does make some diff
ference in wool production, but there
is much more difference between in
dividual sheep in one season than
there is between f1ocks in different
seasons. This points the wisdom of
constant culling of low-yielding ewes
and selective breeding for heavy
fleece production.
Application of these facts on the
sheep ranges is returning to sheepmen
each year many times the cost of the
research, says e. w. Sheets, who is
in charge of the animal husbandry
work of the Department of Agricul-
ture.

that Carl williams Of Oklahoma, who
represents cotton on the board, lacks
knowledge Of the industry. The as
sertions were made in the Senate after

ton.

ing industry, who received compliments

tives on the board of the dairy and fruit

Schilling placed hope for the farmers
rehabilitation in the cooperative move
ment and appealed to members OF Con-
gress to urge faith in the board upon
their constituents.

The Minnesotan, who was president
of the Twin-City Milk Producers As
ISOLATION, detailed the success Of the

buy SURPRISES If relief is to be provided
"You want me to tell you that the
farmer ought to be subsidized, do you?'

has to be subsidized ought to be run

Brookhart insisted the farmer needed
help from the Government.
