Care in Sheurinq

Sheep can receive bruises from
growers who unjudiciously grab
the animals by their wool.
The bruise may remain for a
number of weeks and if it is pres
ent when the sheep is sent to
market the bruised part of the
sleeps carcass must be discarded
Virginia Agricultural Extension
specialists said the proper way to
catch a sheep, If you are behind
it, is to grab the animal by its
hind flank.
If you are in front of the ami
NAL, the sheep should be grabbed
under its chin, the specialists said.
Wool furnishes about Is per
cent of the total returns from
Virginia sheep. In many flocks,
the specialists said, the wool clip
can be improved by keeping for
breed purposes rams and ewes
that shear heavier fleeces, free
from black fiber. ,
Shearing should be done when
the weather is warm enough tc
melt the grease in the fleece
Otherwise the clippers will gum
up.
The specialists also advised
growers not to feed the sheep fol
at least 10 hours before shearing
Ewes with empty stomachs art
more comfortable and RESPOND
more readily to the shearer's holds
the specialists explained.
The wool should be kept fret
from trash by shearing on can
vas or a clean floor.
Properly cut wool, the special
lists said, should come off in one
piece, thereby avoiding the neces-
sitv of shearing twice.
Each fleece should be tied sep
arately, skin side out, with paper
fleece twine. Binder or course
twine should not be used, the spe-
cialistS said.

Dohiio Society

Local interest in growing dahl
las is increasing rapidly. This is
shown by the fact that the annual
regional dahlia shows, staged each
year by the National Capital
Dahlia Society, have come to be
recognized as among the three
largest and best dahlia shows IN
the country. The next will be the
18th annual show and will be held
next September at the Botanic
Garden.
An interesting feature of dahlias
is the large variety of colors, sizes
and types available. Practically
every color except blue is avail
able. In size they range from
about IA inches to less than one
inch in diameter. In type they
range from the spiky cactus va
rieties to the formal decoratives
with rounded petals and all inter-
mediate types are available.
Then there are the pompons,
the miniatures, singles, colarettes,
orchid Towering, peony Towering
and several other types. The small
Towering types are being used
widely in artistic arrangements.
Most growers, however, still like
to see how large they can grow
the large Towering types.
Dahlias may be grown from
tubers, from cuttings which can be
purchased as potted plants or
rooted cuttings. and from seed.
Dahlias grown from seed sown in
the spring will bloom in the fall.
Growing dahlias from seed is a
fascinating hobby since every seed
lis a new variety and it is some
times possible to obtain new va
Irieties worthy of commercial in
