One of the first steps deemed necessary in several of the states south of Mason & Dixon's lines, and for that matter in certain northern states also, is the control of the predatory dog, which has caused and is causing very heavy losses -in the sheep industry in various parts of the country. The department of agriculture is interested in controlling dogs and has made a close study of the subject throughout the United States. Oh the national forest ranges the department has men who kill stray dogs along with other predatory animals, but about the only thing the department feels authorized to do in other parts of the country is to collect information and give advice on the Bubject. Officials have given advice about a model dog control law which it is still up to some of the states to enact. Bills along this line are being J ^' ? lorvial a_ pressed Deivrc wie ucuigm i66?.? Uire and other state legislative bodies! it is understood. The necessity for their enactment is recognized by expets familiar with the sheep industry and the difficulties it is confronted with, for no matter how suitable the forage, climate, market and other conditions may be to the growing of sheep, this branch of agriculture cannot be very successful or profitable if dogs are left free to prowl about at night and prey upon the flocks. Realizing this fact new dog control laws have been passed in Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina and Alabama. Generally speaking, a satisfactoy dog contol law, it is said, should1 provide for registration and taxation1 jf dogs, outlawing dogs not so officii ally recorded, permitting the killing of stray dogs especially at night or _i k ?j on SfiCtJp WII11&) anu tuiii^cnoavivu wv sheep owners for damage sustained. The need for dog control was illustrated in the case of northern farmers who settled in Alabama some time ago. Within a short period one killed 82 dogs on his sheep farm and the other killed 79 dogs. An idea of the damage caused by the predatory dog to the sheep industry may be had from official statements of the department of agriculture that in one recent year over 34,000 sheep were killed by dogs in 502 counties reporting 6,800,000 sheep within their borders. And dogs uncontrolled are officially declared to constitute one of the chief rea sons for not increasing and raising of sheep in 36 farm states where the department estimates 34,000,000 additional sheep could be placed without interfering with other live stock. The southern states present good opportunities for sheep raising, according to L. G. Connor of the bureau of farm management, agriculWILY urn orncinr ntn dcuoiul it Die, Says Tens Lady, Bit New tan aid Praises Cardv Fer corery. the better.

J. 91 I TREATY CERTAIN TO ' d BE RATIFIED, SAYS j P i SENATOR HITCHCOCK S Washington, August 27.?Ratifi- c cation of the peace treaty some time j during September, defeat of the pro-j posed Shantung amendment with the' aid of at least twelve Republican' votes, and voting down of all amend-! ments to the treaty that might cause; 1 8 it to be sent back for re-negotiations, ! T] was predicted today by Senator. * Hitchcock, Nebrasba, senior minority.11 member of the 'foreign relations committee, today after a conference'0 with President Wilson. ' I a "We are satisfied," /he said, "thatjV the Shantung amendment will be | very substantially beaien.

This is"= I known by many men in southeastern j g Georgia, South Central Florida, jB Western Alabama, some sections ofil Mississippi, and in Tennessee who l are buying sheep to run on their!I I land. jl Department of agriculture scien-jl I tists believe that there is a big I | chance for sheep growing in a num-|l ' ber of southern states. Texas live I I stock men think so likewise and have ! I I taken sheep, goats and cattle into Louisiana and further east with some I success. Western Florida and south-I j ern Georgia and other parts of the I south are deemed especially well adapted for sheep raising, according I to the judgment of government ex-'I perts. The More Sheep More Wool I Association, with headquarters in I Philadelphia, is cooperating in the I movement for reestablishing*- the.I sheep industry in the south on the I , large scale that it can attain there. I j Government experts say, that a I lumber of grasses and forage crops, that thrive in the south are especi-j ally suited to sheep. They deny the popular idea that sheep will live and thrive on weeds. , The latter are, eaten, but the she'ep require morej tempting food also. They can get along fine with vel-i ! vet beans, carpet grass, crab grass, burr clover, soy beans cow peas or other forage. The widespread wire; grass and booom sedge of the south j is not the best forage, but annual j southern grasses are. The latter j have been injured by burning thei land over in connection with turpen-j nnnratinna ?T?<1 hv sohie settlers. | V2/v?Mv.v..w in the coastal plan area who have not become convinced*of the harmful-] ness of this plan. j Fencing is necessary to protect sheep from dogs and hogs, as the lat-i ter as well as the former will kill! sheep, especially young lambs. Some' extra feeding of sheep may be desir-! able during the winter when the; grasses are not very nourishing.! Otherwise the flocks if left to forage for themselves may become weaken ed and the ewes and their young suf- | fer severe losses at lambing time. With proper attention a large percentage of lamb can be raised, say! government experts. Sheep raising thrived in the south' a number of years ago. War condi-' tions, local conditions and legislation! or lack of it have been operating' against the industry. The opening up of the free ranges of the west contributed, but in recent years the entry of large areas of land in that section under the 320 acre and 640 acre homestead laws have closed up much of this free pasturage. It is predicted that the south is coming back into her own as a sheep *1 country. But the dogs must be controlled, say those who know. Inj dealing with the dog problem one of the difficulties to be met is the propensity of negro farmers to own from 5 to 26 dogs which he does not feed, but leaves to forage for themselves. The white man is willing for the negro to have the dogs if he ...ill tVorti at o.nnfirni t.Vlpir OTMir-1 Will 1VCU WIVUi VI - A itions to less choace game, but ob- I jectdon is made to the stray "curs" I living off of the flocks of the up-to- I date fanners in the south. lay a series of amendments to the | eace treaty, eliminating the United, Itates sa one of the powers repre-! ented on international commissions j? reated to supevise reconstruction in: Europe.
