METHODS IN
SHEEP INDUSTRY ARE
TOLD BY RICHARDSON

The number of kinks per inch in
a strand of wool determines the
grade; the greater the number of
kinks the better tine wool. Eleven
western states and Texas produce
80 per cent of the sheep raised in
the United States. This locality
is n of the best sheep areas in
America. These and a number of
other interesting facts and observa-
tions recited Tuesday by Harold
Richardson, a farmer residing west
of Laurel who was the speaker at
the weekly meeting of the Laurel
Rotary club.
Richardson said the first sheep
coming to this region were brought
northward from Mexico. They
were driven in bands and flocks
as there was no other means of
transportation, and were the des-
cendants of sheep brought to Mex
leo from Spain. Later, better
grades came westward from east
ern United States and the quality
began to improve.
For quite some time there was
only one payday a year for sheep
men, the sale of wool. When rail
transportation arrived the industry
began to experience two paydays,
one from wool and the other from
sale of lambs. Today 80 per cent
of Americas sheep are produced
in the states west of the Mississippi
In a sense the woody animals are
delicate; disease, weather and wrong
food cause the death of many. A
sheepman has to be something of
a scientist and a close. observer.
The speaker said he estimated that
a band would become extinct in
10 years without requirements.
Choice of breeds varies in the
states, but the two most
here are Hampshire and
Rambouillet. Each has distinctive
qualities. The ideal combination is
good production of both wool and
'lesh.
Feeding is of major Importance,
he object being to make weight
rapidly and at the minimum
If expense. A popular diet is APP
fortunately four pounds of hay and
4 third of a pound of grain a
lay, although another good COM
,~ination is wet beet pulp, hay and
srain. Chopped hay and steam
grains are regarded by some
superior.
The climate accounts for this To-
atty being ideal for sheep, to-
ether with plenty of feed, water
nd to some extent protection.
Like other animals they have
mother value; they replenish, main
ain and build fertility of the soil
which they m kept.
Wool at one time was sold to in
buyers; now to a large
xtent is consigned through pools,
UGH as the Saltwater county pool
f which Richardson has been a
several years. Boston is
ne of the country's largest mar
cts. :
In connection with the sale of p,
DOL, Richardson said this region
eeds a washing and cleaning 1
liant, for wool in the grease has &,
weight shrinkage of bout 60 per &,
ent when oil and dirt is removed.
The speaker discussed grading at
he point of sale by federal inspect
RS, the average weight of lambs
nd subsidy payments. Profession
shearers clip about $50 sheep d,
day, though some claim more. 4,
concluded by saying
lat despite most of the mutton
eing produced in the west, Mon
ina people eat little of it. ,
He was introduced by o. M. |
Iold, a program committeeman.
