‘GOOD PRICES CAN ALWAYS BE

By Q. W. Humphrey, Agricultural
‘Agent, Southern Railway System,
Atlanta, Ga.
" In the general live stock program
for" Southern “tarmers, there 18 one
branch of meat animal production,
which, as a whole, hag been sadly
neg. , namely, gheep. Therein lics
a 'branch of animal husbandry cffer
%“rfl splendid returns, and onc
Hich #hot!d have much more consid
eration,
Climatic conditions in the South are
mbst favorable and the sheep farmer
joys ‘many advantages in econom
cal feeding, housing, etc., because of
the long grazing season and moder
'm winters.
" Barlier in our history the South was
an important sheep raising section of
the country and sheep were found to
be on many farms and upon the
rangds.
In 1880, there were In the ten South
ern states traversed by Southern
Rallway System, 4,155,000 head of
gheep, while In 1923 the number had
dwindled down to 1,961,000, showing
a logs of 2,204,000 during these years,
In the same perfod cattle have ghown
an litreast of 2,808,000 head.
4 “‘Small Outlay Required,
A "‘l2" Mflock of sheep may be
started without ‘a large outldy of cap
tal and they ure a great producer
of revenue in the form of lambs and
wool. The main. object with farm
flocks in the South sghould be. the
production of early lambs, and to ob
tain a good market it is necessary
that there be sufficlent flocks in a
given “reality so that the lambs may
he assembled and ~raded, then ship
ped in carload lots to the best mar
kets. A farmer with a small flock
by himself.is at a disadvantage ur
lless he has sufficient for a carlot
'nmpmom. or a local market which can
take his product. However, there are
plenty of instances where farmers
have but a few head and the sale of
lambs brings a nice cash income,.
! ‘We would advise starting with a
small flock, say twenty-five head.
Good common ewes can usuvally be
bought for around $5.00 or $6.00 per
head. Forty dollars or $50.00 will
‘buy a purebred registered ram of good
conformatior. ' Twenty-five ewes at
$6.00 and registered ram at $50.00
would be an investment of $175.00.
‘With good attention the farmer may
erop. These lumbs should weigh
fixty-five pounds by May Ist to 151
and at prices prevailing the past sca
sen should be worth about $9.5¢ per
head. T renty-five lamb: a‘ this price
would be worth $237.60 and the wool
clip, estimated at $30.00, would ag
gregate $267.50 or $92.50 more tha:
