FOOD
FOR
THOUGHT

More than a billion people
over one-half the earth's
population = live mainly on
RICE. 1t is estimated that
a plot of land put to rice
will support five times as
many people as the same
piece of land set to the rails
ing of any other food. A
"meat eater" would starve
on the same acreage from
which several large families
can live in the rice growing
countries.
Historically, rice became
the symbol of fertility and
prosperity. Today in India,
it is still part of the wedding
ceremony to give the newly
welded pair a gift of rice
powder. In Japan, rice cakes
are given to insure a pros
porous and fertile married
life. Even in the West, you
will find a stylized version of
this in front of many a
church on a Sunday after
noon.

Smith found she was supervis-

lambs at the height of the
Christmas social season and
many times she'd have to give
up a party to stay home with
the babies because the Hamp-

Bottle babies are a headache,
especially around Christmas

Taking care of the sheep is

show and grooming continues
up to show date.
When shearing or trimming,
the sheep is placed on a plat
form guillotine-fashion with a
strap under his neck. The job
takes skill and dexterity, but
most of all, patience. Mrs.
Smith usually does her own
trimming and sometimes will
bring in a professional. When
the job is finished, the lamb is
box-like, "just like a box car"
because they've been trimmed
so that the judge can feel the
flesh where it means the most,
on the back and in the loin
where the chops come from.
They are covered with white
muslin to keep the fleece white,
clean and in good condition.
Mrs. Smiths prime reason for
showing her Choviots this year
is to acquaint the people of this
area with the rare qualities of
this unique and interesting
breed from New England.
Though Maryland is not pri-
marily a sheep raising state,
the sheep industry has doubled
on our farms in the last four or
five years. She thinks the Chew
lots would be ideal on small
two-acre estates. if only for the
utilitarian purpose of wedding
and keeping the lawns clipped
and beautiful.
Mrs. Smith changed from the
Hampshire breed to the Chew
lots mostly because she and her
husband travel a great deal and
it is necessary to leave animals
that require a minimum of care

setting is a swimming pool

The house is approximately
20 years old. 1t has random

a few moderns. The slipcovers
and draperies, in summer, are
made of chintz.
Close to the house a small
flock of Cheviot sheep run in
pasture. They decorate the
scene. One of Mrs. Smiths
daughters described this white
smooth-faced breed as beautiful
and stylish as a debutante in a
mink coat. Their batting is not
shrill but deep-throated like
that of COW. 1t is easily under
standable why women show
Cheviots exclusively.
Full of enthusiasm about
their beauty and characteristics,
Mrs. Smith is laundering to
show her newly acquired Chew
lots at the County Fair in Cal
thersburg August 1927. At the
time of this writing, she was
waiting to hear from the sheep
superintendent whether there
will be pen available as there
are no classes listed for Cnev-
lots. If she decides to show it
means eight weeks of travelling
the circuit and she's not so sure
it is worth the trouble of get

rams and one aged ram (stud).

adds Mrs. Smith, IT don't want
to take the stud away from his
homework. Further, with no
classes, there would be no glory
attached to the exhibition"
With a breeder it's science
and genetics, and the zeal for
perfectionism goads him on to
great lengths to select the best
blood stock for crossing pur-
poses. Purebred ram lambs can
go in price as high as $500,
while the average price for one
ranges from SIS to SIPS. The
