WOULD PAY fMKFIKTO MI There Are Three Main Sheep, Better Crops, and Sheep Of the Various Breeds Do Well Here Every One , Who Has a Flock Speaks . V (E." A. Rhoten, live stock editor of the Pacific Homestead, Salem, 'furnishes the following practical v suggestions for the keeping of a flock of sheep on every general ffarm In the Willamette valley: ) The sheep ' business of the World has changed greatly the past Tew years. This change is in favor of the ."farmer" sheep man. Certain conditions have been mak ing the raising of . sheep on the large ranges more expensive, and this in turn has been to the ad vantage of the man who- ts raising aheep under f arm . conditions.

" . - One : of the most enthusiastic - boosters for the sheep and wool Industry in the Willamette valley is ' 8. E. Purvine, .manager .of the Clifford Brown Wool buying flrm They buy wool .throughout , the state, and Mr.; Purvine Is ; in close touch .with the producers' as well as the marketing end of the busiT neea. -In commenting on the wool Industry he says: j i l J "It '''Is; absolutely, fj the,, .best basis for the average farmer in Western Oregon., ; .With thia of course goes many aide; lines," but, taken as a whole I beleye it Is more remunerative than any other one line of agriculture. I realize that land;! comparatively high priced in the Willamette valley, that is, as .compared . with . the range districts:; but land at $100. $150 or $200 an acre can be made to Jpay by properly handling a flock of sheep; The weot crop in Western Oregon is estimated at approximately two and a quarter millions of .pounds aianualljr 1 To thl must be added the returnr lor dKEton. J 'J ' , Ufakea Own Farm Pay ESHEEPBilSOFOPEUI Benefits; Good Profit On the Added Fertility of. the Soil- Highly of That Industry plowing up the clover sod after about two years, and then perhaps using some cultivated crop, and re- seeding to grain and clover again. , Sheep Work Well A good sized flock of sheep has worked to advantage in this ro tation, for it is a benefit rather than a detriment to pasture the sheep on the' early fall wheat This is especially true on the bet ter land, where the wheat has a tendency to grow too rank; then the sheep can be transferred to the clover fields; until sometime I in May, depending upon the ma amount of rainfall. . Afterward the sheep , may be removed to other pastures," and the - crop of clover seed harvested, and this plan continued. Make Sheep Barns The result would be a good proft in the sheep, better crops, end added fertility to the soil. The man who is ."just farming"- and there are hundreds of them who raise a certain acreage of various grains each year -has no plan to follow, and would find.lt greatly to his advantage to make a flock of sheep the basis of his entire operations. Do Well Here Sheep of the various breeds do well in western Oregon. They are comparatively free from disease, and, on account of feed conditions, make a good growth and yield good fleeces. At one time it was believed that long or coarse wool sheep were better fitted to our cli mate than the others.. This has not proved entirely, true, for the medium and tine wool sheep do equally as well. " There, is one evidence which speaks well for the sheep grow ing industry, and that is the fact that11 seldom if ever do we find anyone who has a flock of sheep who does not speak highly of this industry. They always report that it Is a source of Income that can be depended upon, i and this with a minimum amount of labor, which under present condtlons is a big Hem. . r own ranch of 375 acres, in Palk rounty, pay, but I could not do It until I, put on a flock of sheep. It will easily carry a flock of 250 ewes, and, by paying more -attention to the raising of feed.. I be lieve that I can carry 300 ewes. If that number; were carried on the place, it would be necessary to sow various crops to be fed off to the stteep, such as rape, and clover. ', "The range men are finding It much more expensive to produce wool . and mutton than 1 formerly, on -account of the restrictions of the Jxational forest reserves, and consequent. added expense. This is all in favor of the sheep man who maintains his aheep " on the farm under farm conditions. . I Two C71asee of Wool . ' " I ''There -are two principal class es of wool in tb'e eastern Oregon district one k is, known' as range wool which is the wool from the large bands that run on .the ranges. We buy comparatively small quan tities of this class of wool. The othertls knowa a& the ranch? wool, which' is produced on;tha.raLc under feeding,, conJtioii.t:.'They ins o ' K!t " blue grass ' .pastures . that are irrigated, ' and during the winter season the flocks are fed on alfalfa hay. We buy this ex tensively. r, J . "The ' United States import about as much wool - as we pro duce. There Is an import duty of 32c per pound on a scoured basis. This means approximately 15c or 16c per pound in the grease, as tne fleece is taken from the sheep. With the present price here of around the 35c mark, this would mean that we can successfully compete with New Zealand and other foreign sheep producing countries on a 20c per pound basis, and in addition to that, the trans portation from countries must also be considered. Profits and Benefits "The average production fbr the . sheep In western Oregon ' is approximately eight pounds per head. Calculating a lamb that is sold soon after weaning time for mutton, at the market price of $8, this would give a return per ewe of around about the $11 mark, estimating the lamb crop at 100 per cent. Many of the farmers will exceed this per cent with their crop of lambs. It is a matter of taking proper, care of the ewes at lambing time. The loss by dogs L a source of aggravation and some direct losses, but under the present system of indemnifying the' farmers against such loss by the county, the loss to the Indi vidual farmer is reduced materi- Hy- v:. . .... .u ' ': . "Then again, In calculating the benefits from flock. of sheep, it should not be overlooked that the entire , farm operations, necessary tc properly care for', a, flock of sheep are such that it should leave the' farm in better condition, year by year. "So will it be seen that Ameri can farmers under present condi tions should find the growing of sheep to be one of the best lines of endeavor." ; ; s S BINE TIMES That Is, You' Are That Far And More, if You Do Not Breed Some Sheep (A writer In a former sheep of capital available and the source Slogan number of the Statesman furnished the following, very In teresting Information, put in an apt and well "written way: ) The avocation of sheep hus bandry is as old as time Itself. It was more than nineteen hundred years ago that the gentle Chaldean shepherds saw- tne star of Beth lehem that heralded the first glad tidings of -a Savior's birth.'and In after years the divine Man of Galilee took the sheep as the type of his people, the , lamb , as the child he had loved. Going back eleven hundred years we find David, the sweet singer of Israel, a keeper of his father's sheep, of whom this testimonial was. given; "He is cunning In playing, a mighty valiant man and a man of war; prudent In matters and a comely person; and the Lord is with him." , . . Still further back, six centuries, and we find another framer of history, who won a youthful rep utation as an honest; truthful and careful shepherd of his father's sheep. , Sojd into slavery by, his brothers,? he .later became the foremost' man , Jn, the Egyptian empire: and saved hla people In the time of famine. The shepherd of the priest of Mid lan led hla people out of bondage and be came the great law, giver upon whose writings the law of every civilized nation of this and past ages has been founded. If it Is a pretty love story you wish, read of Rachael as she came with her father's sheep. If it is ah example of steadfast character you seek, read the story of Job, the ahep herd or 13,000 sheep. So on back through . all the cycles of human hlntory until in the book of Gene-, sis four thousand years before the " birth;; of .Christ. ; as we ap proach the family of our first par ents we are told of nls sons that while Cain, was a . tiller of the soil Abel was a keeper of sheep. I mention but a few of) the prominent characters of the past who ... have :,. been;, associated ; .with our favorite Industry. To dwell upon all. as 1 f ound;' aered his tory alone would fill a volume, but what I have mentioned, sim ply shows the sbeep industry to be the most i ancient and tlme-o honored of all. and U you iav not yet .become a'keeper of sheep, you are at the least calculation 6000 years behind the times. ; 1 The Russian soviet clothing trust- has -announced - that it-will pay fifty, cent apiece for all cat skins delivered at It "factories.

His home is on the Pacific highway a few miles north of Jefferson, and his post office address is Jefferson. Karl Stewier is a breeder of pure bred Oxford sheep, b.ut he does not say they are the best. That is a question of taste, like the style oi a lady's hat. He says all sheep are good. He is more than a breeder. He owns a large farm and does all the things that go with high class sheep breeding; raises clover as a rotation crop. Raises rape for his sheep, etc., etc. And he does still more. He rents pasturage for bands of sheep. He buys and sells sheep, and operates this industry in various ways'. . .Pays to Rent . ,filr. teiwer has been telling the. Slogan man for every annual sheep edition of The Statesman for f several years that the sheep Industry in the Willamette valley is. more stable and more profit able than it is in eastern Oregon (and he has had sheep in eastern Oregon); that a man with sheep can rent stubble fields In the Willamette valley and other good sheep' pasture, too, for around 15 cents a sheep a month and that this is cheaper than keeping eastern Oregon sheep heraers with all their expenses at $80 a month salary for each herder. With wool from 30 to 35 cents a pound and lambs from 10 to 13 cents per pound the past ear has been a profitable one for most sheep owners in. the valley. Like previous years since 1921, sheep have been the best crop. ' For Better Sheep Mr. Steiwer believes that, since we must raise our own ewes, 'it would seem to be a good business to try to Improve them in some particular. We have in; the paqt gfven considerable attention w WHEAT f D OATS, SUMMER F1W; SHEEP AND GOATE IS ROUTINE HERE That Is-yVhat Ivan StewartrFinds On the Waldo Hills Farm Of Patton and Amort, Which Is Successful Mr. Stew art.Adds Proof To His Contention That This Is, With out Question, a Livestock ada Thistle Editor Statesman: The Patton and ajbout three miles Cleay is a typical Amort farm east of Mc Waldo Hills farm.. They are farming' some thing like $00 acres and have about that same amount of pas ture land. :l Their routine of farm ing , tg ( wheat and oats, summer fallow, -sheep and 'goats. ,, Jt was interesting to note that they, regard sheep as the best source of, income from the farm'. John Amort expressed his senti ments for sheen in' no uncertain terms whten he stated that he would quit farming If H wasn't for 'the sheep. . In referring to the sheep he stated. "We aim to keep 150 bead of: registered Shropshire breed ing ewes. This last spring we had 147 ewes at lambing, time, and we- got; 18? lambs and we raised all of this number j but nine. The market tor sheep has been very; good, and for the last two years all of our surplus has been contracted for even" before lambing time. When we have sold the lambs straight through , ttiey have averaged us $10.00 apiece, and in those cases where a buyer only picked out a few the price was considerably higher.. : . ; Kill CaniMllan Thistles , , '.

I Keod' Down, Pasture r.: 1 ; We appreciate the value'bf seed ing down pagtre here In the bills. The best plan Is to sow misquite witlt the fall oats. : Then the fol lowing fall rye is, seeded In .with the mlsauite. and this makes jlpe pasture. Our land needs lime ad- ii the mutton Iamb, because that was where the profit lay. Increase the Fleece Inasmuch as the next two or three years will see a large per centage of our flocks replaced with something younger, why not replace with a, better woOled sheep? With more care In the selection' of rams and the proper culling out of the offspring, Mr. Steiwer suggests that it should be easy to increase the fleece a pound or two, and at the same time not detract from the quality of the wool. He adds: "I am not speak ing of purebred sheep, but more especially of the common kind. By selection of rams I don't mean that we should all raise fine wooled or all, coarse wooled sheep, but blend the two together, de pending upon what we have to start, wtih. and more especially do away with rams that do not pro duce wool. This class o'f rams Will always be numerous; until farmers cease to1-be afraid' to castrate 'spring lambs;' There Is no sense in spending good money for rams and then permit a Jot of Cull lambs to sire the next year's crop. Too many sheep men wait for a favorable moon, or until the crops, are in, or un'.il the lambing season is over. By this time the lambs are perhaps too big; and they decide to let them go. My ex perience has been that the best time Is when the lamb is from one day to one week old and today Is always better than tomorrow. Fewer and Better ' Dogs VThe Statesman's efforts for more and better sheep should be appreciated, and in this connec tion something might also be said for fewer and better dogs. Last spring I know of two very ordL, nary dogs now, deceased- that In- 24 hours killed outright not less than $500 worth of sheep and goats. The damage to the bal ance of -the flocks in cripples, or phan lambs and loss of morale would probably exceed' twice that 'amount." ! ' Valley Goats Will Kill Can , leguminous crops, and under the present situation misquite is the best for the condition of the land. This spring we sowed about an fure of sweet clover on limed'land back pf the barn, and it ts doing very well.

Writing to W. G. Ide. Manager of the land settlement department of the state and Portland cham bers. W. H. Doolittle. secretary of the Ontairo commercial club. says; From 1922 to 1924 In clusive it seemed that practically all of the travel from the east had California as the objective, but this year tt seems that the north , west hi the attraction.

The scenery In Oregon, the good roads of the state, and the 'attractive ness of the farming valleys seem to be, well known to them and I believe we are on the eve of a big movement to the northwest." The same optimistic : reports reach the land settlement depart ment from southern Oregon rhere not only many tourists from Cal ifornia register, but also many from the middlewest and east. Unlike those of previous years, travelers are now coming in, large numbers through California and making their goal In the , north west. "See California first, but stay in Oregon" seems to be the new slogan, . i ' During the past .month '. over 175 families have interviewed the Portland office of the land settle ment department before making a choice of farms In various parts of the state. Most of these families . have been in correspondence for a year or more gathering Information and getting assistance through the department and the local .: cham bers' 'of commerce In order to make a proper selection of a home on arrival.' During July 88 additional farmers indicated their intention of coming to Oregon with their families. ; From Texas a well-to-do sheep man has recently visited the state looking for a location. He states that five or six of his neighbors in Texas have been planning to move to Oregon- for the past year or two but that he was the first of thenr to get' started.
