Robert S. Curtis, sheep market
ing specialist with the State De-

Thompson Greenwood, public re-
lat1ons director of the Depart
ment, were in the county yester-
day contracting agricultural lead
ers in regard to the sheep rehab-
ilitation program now being push

Curtis said that since the incep-
ton of the drive to build up the
sheep population in this State in
1912, a total of $500 yearling
ewes have been imported from
the ranges Of Wyoming and Mon
tana and sold to interested farm
ers at actual cost. He declared
that reports are to- the effect that
purchasers are tremendously
pleased with these imported
sheep.
At the present time, the De-
partment of Agriculture has on
hand 200 one-year-old eve lambs
which are being sold for $14.5O
per head. Since these lambs have
not as yet been sheared, the in
come from the wool will, to a
large extent, offset the purchase

Any farmers interested in en-
