taken as a whole I beleye it Is

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

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.

our favorite Industry. To dwell
upon all. as 1 f ound;' aered his

but what I have mentioned, sim

not yet .become a'keeper of sheep,
you are at the least calculation

Karl Steiwer, One of Our Most Successful Breeders ajid
' pealers, Believes Our Farmers Should Work For the
Improvement of Their Flocks, and Especially for an In
y! crease in the Average fleece Best of Ewe Lambs
, Should Be Saved : J
Karl Steiwer, brother of United
States Senator Steiwer, is one of
the leading sheep breeders of the
Willamette valley. 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

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

making fine sheep pasture for us.
