Local Sheep Raisers
Plan Monday Meet
A meeting of Jackson coun
ty sheep raisers will be held
at 8 p.m. Monday in the Jack
son county extension agent's
office in the courthouse, ac
cording to Earle Jossy, county
agent.
A pool shipment of lambs
to market may be arranged
as a result of the meeting, he
said.
It's felt by some of thp
raisers that the buyers would
prefer to pick up a truckload
at a time. However, most of
the raisers are not large
enough to form their own
truckload," Jossy explained.
Majority of the sheep rais
ers in the county have from
50 to 100 head, he said. The
informal meeting will consid
er various problems facing the
sheep owners.

Dry Land Crops Hurl
By Lack of Rainfall
Yreka - Crop on dry land
farms in Siskiyou county will
suffer unless rain is received
within the next few weeks,
county farm advisors in the
area reported last week.
M. V. Maxwell, farm ad
visor, reported that only 72
per cent of the average
amount of rainfall is expected
this year.
Dry land farms will be par
ticularly hurt by the lack of
rain since fall planted grain
crops are now at the critical
period when the number of
heads of grain per plant is
determined according to avail
able moisture.
All irrigation districts in
the county are reported to
have an adequate supply of
water.
