THE SHEEP-GROWIN( ' MAY BE 5jj0?>r ' ] Department of Agriculture Interested | I in Laws Controlling Dogs. Washington, Sept. 1.?Re-establishment of sheep growing in the south is one of the arms of the Southern Settlement and Development Organization with which are cooperating affilated organizations in several southern i states and progresive members of state \ legislatures, as well as officials of the j United States Department of Agricul- j ture. One of the first steps deemed j ne^esary in several of the states south | of Mason & Dixon's lines and for that} matter in certain northern states also, J is the control of the predatory dog, which has caused and is causing very heavy losses in the sheep industry in various parts o fthe country. The department of agriculture Is interested in controlling dogs and has ? ? onr?i- of the subject ilUXUC CL V/1VOV wvv., throughout the United States. On the national forest ranges the department has men who kill stray dogs along with predatory animals, b it about the-only thing the department feels authorized to do in other parts of the coutry is to collect information and give advice about a model dog control law whieh it is still up to some of the states to enact. Bills along this line are being press ed before the Georgia legislature and other state legislative bodies, it is un- i derstood. The necessity for their enactment is recognized by experts famil iar 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 grov ing of sheep, this branch of agriculture cannot be very j succssful or profitable if dogs are left j free to prowl about at night and prey | upon the flocks. KV ^ i. v - I Realizing this fact now dog control j laws have been passed in Kentucky, J Virginia, Xorth Carolina, and Alaba- ! ma. Generally speaking a satisfacto- j ry dog control law it is said, should i provide registration and taxation of; dogs, outlawing dogs not so officially j recorded, permitting the killing of i A*. M m m j J AnrxAninllv O + r?10r"hf Of flTI I stray uugs wyctianj .i.e..., ? i sheep farms, and compensation to sheep owners for damage sustained, a The need for dog control was illustrated in the case of two northern farmers who settled in Alabama some time ago. Within a short time one killed 82 dogs on his sheep farm and the other killed 79 dogs. V v An idea of the damage caused by the predatory dog to the sheep industry^ may be had from official statement 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 1 . * % borders. And dogs uncontrolled *are officially declared to constitute one of the chief reasons for not increasing the raising of sheep in 36 farm states where the department estimates 34,000,000 aditional 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, agricultural department, i who has been studying the situation in the south in connection with the preparation of a national agricultural atlas. This is known by many men in southeastern Georgia, south central Florida, western Alabama, some sections of Mississippi and in Tennnessee who are buying sheep to run on their land. Department of agriculture scientists believe that there is a big chance for sheep growing in a number of southern states. T?xas live stock men think so lokewise and have taken sheep, goats, and cattle into Louisiana and further east with some success. Western Florida and southern Georgia and other parts of the south are deemed especially adapted for sheep raising, according to the judgment of government experts. The More Sheep More Wool Association, with headquarters in Philadelphia, ^s co-operating in the movement for re-establishing the sheep industry in the south on the large scale that it can attain there. Government experts say that a number of grasses and forage crops that thrive in the south are especially suited to sheep. They deny the popular idea that sheep will live and thrive on j weeds. The latter are eaten, but the sheep require more tempting food also. They can get along fine with velvet beans, carpet grass, crab grass, burr clover, soy beans, cow peas or spread wire grass and broom sedge of the south is not the best forage. nf <??nnol ennf JLPUU aiznwui ovutiitHi SlclSfceS lire. X lit: latter have been injured by burning " the land over in conection with turpentining operations and by some settlers in the coastal plain area who j have not become convinced of the! harmfulness of this plan. i INDUSTRY | REVIVED IN SOUTH' i LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER SHORTAGE OF COAL The following' statement was authorized recently by the regional director's office, Southern Region, United States Railroad Administration: "Another shortage of freight cars is in prospect for the coming fall and winter. Instead of the surplus of equipment to be found on nearly all railroads during the dull days before j after-the-war business revival set in, every piece of equipment now is in use ( on many railroad lines and only the most careful handling by the railroads with consistent and wholehearted co-operation from the shipping public can prevent serious interference with business. "Federal managers have been called upon by the Railroad Administration to utilize equipment to the fullest possible extent, and particularly to see that cars are set in motion promptly upon fceing loaded or unloaded. "Shippers are asked to lend a hand both by reducing detention of cars to a minimum and by careful and heavy \ loading so that the greatest possible service may be had from each car. From a purely selfish business stand-' point, of course, it is to the interest of the individual shipper and receiver of freight to do his part toward minimizing the effects of a car shortage from which he wil suffer along with ! the public generally." o ? > THE FORWARD MARCH OF THE BOLL WEEVIL. ? Clemson College, August 30.?Mr. J. A. Berly, of the Division of Entomology, has returned from a scouting trip along the boll weevil line in j this state, and finds that the weevil j has advanced into new territory all j along the front. Greatest advances j have been mace along the lower half j of the line with rather rapid move- | merit through Berkeley, Bamberg and j Orangburg Counties The weevil has ! not so far been found in Berkeley j County, nor in Orangeburg County ex- ! cept in the lower edge around Branch- j ville. The new boll weevil line made necessary by these advances starts in at the lower corner of Edgefield County where Edgefield and Aiken touch the j Savannah River, and runs through ! j Aiken, Norway and Holly Hill in Or- | angeburg County, thence through Berkeley County between Oakley and Monck's Corner, and touches the coast at Bulls B&y. The safety line is correspondingly advanced to run through the counties of Edgefield, Saluda, Lexington, Calhoun, Clarendon, Williamsburg and Georgetown, jpassing through Plum Branch, Ridge Sorings, Leesvile, Summerton, Lanes an I Georgetown Entrance. In Lexinr'on County the line! - i passes just 10 mile-- south of Colum- ! bin. Between the boll weevil lifie j and the safety line lie. he safety zone, j which is closed territory. Mr. Berly states that he finds the weevil advancing at about the expect- \ ed rate.' and that considerable pro- , gress in weevil movement is to be ex- ! pected between now and frost.
