How Would You Like To Grow In
The Sheep Production Business?
BY BEN BOWERS

SO you would like to go into the
sheep business. Well. its a known
fact that Virginia Prince Edward
included can produce excellent
wool and lamb meat. and sheep
raising has paid farmers well for
many years.
But, the experts say not to 'go
in" the business. They claim that
beginners will be more successful
II they grow in rather than go
in the sheep business.
Further, they claim that one
must have a love and understand
ing OF sheep to be a sheepman. and
knowledge. experience and under
standing of the simple habits of
sheep come only by close contact
with them.
254 in the County
Sheep have found their way into
the overall agricultural program of
Prince Edward from time to time
and renewed interest has been
shown in recent years. Today,
5 there are 254 sheep in the county
substantial increase over the 70
head counted in the 1910 census.
However, the greatest hey-day for
sheep growing in Prince Edward
was in 1910 when the total stood al
$40.
AS the housewife and the bread
winner knows. lambz is sold in
competition with other meats. poul-
try. and sea foods at a price that
makes the business worthwhile
Though wool prices are not setting
the world on fire. the product is
still worth a Substantial return to
the producer. With this in mind, the
question is-why isn't sheep grow
ing a more prominent part of the
agricultural pursuits in this area?
Why Not More Sheep
The answer comes from Dudley
L. Peery. county agent. Three fac
tors discourage farmers. from TAX
ing up the sheep business-llj dogs.
" the cost of necessary fencing
and 49, the preventive treatment
required to control internal and ex-
ternal parasites.
Not every farmer who pops the
question, do YOU think sheep grow
ing would be a profitable business
for me?' to County Agent Peery
gets a yes answer. II depends on
lot Of things including the size
OF the farm, nature Of present en-
terprises, etc. said Peery.

the one to be called on, not
only for light, but also for

In the tailoring shop the
boys will quickly tell you that
one must have clothes, and it
is cheaper to make them for
oneself, and a good business
to make them for others.
Shoes must be repaired,

Everyone needs car repairs.
for everyone cannot afford a
new car every year. This is
the opinion expressed by the
boy in auto mechanics.
The machinist shows the
auto mechanic that bolts,
nuts, screws, and other mate
rials needed for repairing the
car must come from the ma
chine shop. Discussions of
this type continue until the
II shop areas have been
evaluated by each boy, prov
ing his trade to be the most
essential and the one with
the greatest potential income.
Phelps hasa new shop this

Phelps Reporter

If anyone doubts that a
vocational high school can be
attractive to students with
high mental ability. he need
only observe some of the 600
young people who now fill
the shops and the academic
classrooms at Phelps Voca-
tional High.
These students have come
from the many junior high
schools in the District where
they had their first oppor-
tunity to explore various
trades and skills for the pur-
pose of finding a field of
work in which they were in
terested and for which they
had some aptitude.
With their minds made up
regarding a trade, they had
only to select a school. They
selected Phelps.
The results of the admis-
sion tests, which each stu
dent must take before he is
accepted, permits the admin
iStration to determine wheth-
er the student will benefit
from the schools curriculum.
Less than so per cent who
applied for the current term
were admitted. Despite this,
Phelps, located at Twenty
Fourth street and Benning
road NE, is filled to ca
pacity.

Best Shop?

1t is interesting to listen
to the arguments and dis
cussions which take place
during lunch hour and after
school regarding the place Of
the various shop offerings in
the community, and as a
means of livelihood in the
future.
Each boy feels that his
shop presents the best oppor-
tunity for making money. For
example, the student taking
barbering has proof that hair
will always grow on some
body's head and likewise will
have to be cut.
The student in the electric

for they have found much
better opportunities for en-
ployment with a college edu-
cation. For instance. one Of
Phelps graduates is now
teaching in the same shop in
which he was formerly q
student.
The activity program at
Phelps makes possible the
participation of many stu
dents in community and
city-wide activities, along
with those functions at the
school. The fact that the
school population consists
entirely Of boys, means that
publicity and all phases Of
the program are initiated and
executed through the leader
ship and efforts Of Boys Sec
tions, the Student Council,
and the Cadet Corps.
The Cadet Corps is another
source of pride at Phelps. The
school has been a National

years. The Rife Team won
