Serving Northwest Agriculture Sine 1917 17 West 4th Street 7 ASSOCIATION ( O SP 3-4061 Hampshire Sheep To be Exhibited At 4-H, FFA Fair Children visiting the Jack son County 4-H and FFA fair starting Saturday will see some toy - like sheep called Hampshires. These stocky little sheep with the black noses and ears might be called western sheep bred for western conditions. As the name implies it was originated in England. The Royal Agricultural Society first recognized it in 1857. A very few flocks existed in the southern and eastern states about 1840, according to re ports. However, it tempor arily disappeared during the Civil War. Some large flocks estab lished themselves in New England and North Atlantic areas of the United States in 1910. About the same time this increasingly popular breed developed in the west. Oregon played a big part in its western adoption. In 1915, J. G. S. Hubbard and Sons of Willamette, Ore., established "a notable flock." C. M. and Walter Hubbard, of Junction City, Ore., are still prominent breeders of Hamps. Widely Used This breed has also been used widely in the middle west and east. For the last 25 years this breed has taken numerous blue ribbons and trophies in the top midwest shows. The Hampshire breed has spread to every state in the union and ranks a close sec ond to the Rambuouillet in numbers. It is found widely in the range states where rams are used on fine-wool ewes and the corn belt states where grade Hampshire flocks are located. Oregon ranks sixth in promotion of this breed. Missouri is first. Not Heavy Shearing The Hamp is not heavy shearing breed with n eight pound fleece about average. However farmers have found they iuld get more pounds per market lamb. This breed stands mountain ous range conditions well and more hot weather than some of the other mutton breeds. The Hamp is used extensively commercially or for cross breeding. It is found in many western farm flocks aa well at on the ranges. . I Guide Dog Program Newest in 4-H Club One of the newer 4-H events in the county fair this year is the Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. class. Classes will be set up on the basis of the pups ages and length of time they have been in the hands of the 4-H club members. Classes include: pups, beginning, pups, inter mediate, and pups, advanced. Obedience includes tests on heeling, sit and stay, down and stay, come on command and retrieving. Science Experiment Proves Successful Ogden, Utah Here's how to make fire by friction, teach ers George Jackson and Bob Prout told their pupils as they twirled a stick in a can con taining cedar bark.

Take a Tip from LITTLE DAISY! (MJIB IFJF.A. imnnB Jackson County FAIRGROUNDS August 13 through 20 The Four-H, F.F.A. Fair is one of the real highlights of the year . . . and a wonderful opportunity for everyone in Jackson County to see the accomplishments and achievements of their young farmer boys and girls. This year the show that is planned by these two fine youth organizations promises to be bigger and better than ever before. To attend is to lend support to two programs that teach boys and girls useful skills, attitudes and ideals that make them happier, more self-sufficient and intelligent citizens in years ahead. They school young people in such important necessities of successful living as responsibility for self, con fidence and pride in achievement, for coopera tion with others, leadership, courtesy and sound health habits.
