Clark Countians
Optimistic With
Sheep Production

Observation-Disclosures h e
sheep population in the United
States has declined during the
past Is years, the sheep business
in Clark County is a flourishing
agricultural enterprise.
Clark County sheepmen are op-
timistic. They acknowledge there
are problems in the sheep indus
try, but at Ne same time they see
an increased demand for wool and
a growing market for lamb.
The outlook for sheep" said
Malcolm Turner of near Selma,
"is as good as that for other
animal industries"
Turner, former president. of the
Ohio Sheep improvement Associa-
tion said that during the times of
farm prosperity, many farmers
tend to "let sheep CO. in favor
of other agricultural enterprises.
But when it is more difficult
to make money on the farm,
they go back to sheep as a
means of income"
Sheep respond to personal care
and the sheep business in conse-
quence makes a lot of demands
on the farmers time, he pointed
out.
Livestock prices have substan-
TALLY declined from the levels of
a few years ago, "but don't
think sheep have been hurt any
more than cattle and hogs and
perhaps not as much" said John
Getz, Springfield, Route 6, who
heads the Clark County Sheep
Improvement Committee.
Demand for wool is increasing.
he declared, and there now is in
progress a slight swing away from
synthetic fabrics in favor of wool.
Some automobile manufacturers
are again using wool for uphols-
tery, it was pointed out.

Soil Bank Plans Expected To Be
Boon To State WildIife Program

TO use their land for wildlife does
not hold, Kennard says. In the
Conservation Reserve, production
of farm game, fur animals, water
fowl, songbirds, or fish has the
same dollar value as any alterna-
tive use for the land.
Cost-sharing for establishing the
new land use and applying conser-
walton practices on wildlife land
is scaled to the same basis-80
percent of coSt-as where the far
mer chooses to plant grass or
trees.
The soil bank program contains
three practices for Conservation
Reserve acres designed especially
to protect and produce wildlife.
They are:
Establishment and m anag e.
ment of cover specifically benefi-
cial to wildlife.
w oINl C1Ild ilICA 5Li
to benefit fish and wildlfe.
Constructing dams or ponds for
fish"
Whether a farmer uses one or
more of these special wildlife
practices or devoteS his reserved
acres to pasture grasses, trees, or
water storage, farm game and 9TH
er Wildlife will benefit.
Whatever their ultimate use,
the grasses, legumes, shrubs, and
trees planted on Conservation Re-
serve land may not be cut for
harvest, except under certain en-
ergency conditions, for the 3, 5,
or 10-year contract periods. Wat
er impounded under any of the
Conservation Reserve practices
will be available for wildlife use.
These areas of protected wild
life habitat intersperSed through
out the 13 million acres of culti-
waited land in Ohio, are sure to
improve living conditions for wild
life, Kennard says.
Land eligible for the Conserva-
tion Reserve includes cropland
that was titled or was in regular
crop rotation the year before the
contract begins, or former crop
land that was established in perm
anent cover other than trees since
1853.
The deadline for signing 1857
Conservation Reserve contracts is
April Is.
Land owners can get full infor-
nation concerning these contracts,
by visiting their County ASC Of
fices, according to Kennard.

Columbus, Ohio - One farm
crop not in surplus will be increa-
sed by the Soil Bank. That farm
crop is wildlife, says T. c. Ken
nard, State ConservationiSt of the
u. S. Soil Conservation Service.
Every soil-bank acre will add
something to food and cover for
wild birds and mammals that in
habit faTmlands.
THE Soil Conservation Service
regards wildlife as an important
product of the land" Kennard
says. "SCS helps and encourages
farmers and ranchers to recognize
that wildlife, like other crops,
must be Intentionally managed
and produced. Technicians assist
ing farmers show them how wild
life improvements fits logically in
to a soil and water conservation
plan.
The SCS will give soil-bank
participants the same kind of tech
nical assistance on wildlife-habi-
tat development that it has given
through Soil Conservation District
operations.
The Conservation Reserve part
of the soil bank offers cost-shar-
ing for practices to improve wild
life habitat. But whether land
goes into the long-tern ConserVa-
tiOn Reserve, or is out of cultiva-
ton only one year under the Ac-
reage Reserve, it will have an OPP
portunity to grow cover and food
plants useful to wildlife, Kennard
points out.
Even the annual weeds that nor
mally grow on untitled fields are
staple foods of such species as
quail and pheasants. Or cover
crops planted to prevent erosion,
being left unharvested, will fur
nish nesting cover and food.
The Conservation Reserve of
fers an opportunity for interested
farmers to increase beneficial
wildlife without disadvantage to
farm income, Kennard believes. In
the Conservation Reserve, soil
bank acres may be used specifical-
ly to produce wildlife. At the soil
bank pay window, Wildlife land
commands exactly the sam e
return in annual rental as grass
land or woodland. In addition,
farmers may harvest or sell their
wildlife crop during the contract
term, a privilege that does not ap-
ply to grass or trees under nor
NAL conditions.
For once the oft-heard argu-
ment that farmers cannot afford

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

Do you know the meaning
Of the simple abbreviation
IF. o. B.?" Are you sure you're
correct? Well. today we con-
slider the unusual account of a
man who devoted much of his
lifetime TO work in which he
was required to use these initials
many time a day-yet he and his
associates understood the let
tiers to mean something quite
different.
But let Henry Smith Simmons
of Iona Linda, Calif.-long one
of my favorite correspondents
tell the story: Il am an ardent
follower of yuor column and l
almost always have been in
agreement with your explana-
tons. but this mornings column
almost took me of my feet when
you said F. o. B. usually writ
ten in small letters means Free
On Board
Being a railroad man in the
traffic department for more than
40 years, starting in 1897, f. o. b.
never meant anything to me
other than freight on board.
Imagine my establishment. how
ever. when l referred to both
my dictionaries and found free
on board named as the mean
ing.
Explaining to our customers
who inquired the meaning of
4. o. b. Chicago. for instance,
when quoting price to the buy
er, we always told him it simply
meant his freight was placed on
