CASE Growers who make the most money fA>m their sheep and who receive top prices for their lambs and wool aren't turning this trick by accident. They have learned something about the many factors which contribute to growing a product *n ready demand by the market. Chief among these factors are good breeding, feeding, and management practices. In breeding, the successful sheepman is careful to select short-legged, compact, blocky rams rather than the long-legged, coarse, upstanding type. Then he ships to market each year his wether lambs and part of his ewe lambs but holds back the best ewe lambs for replacing old and poor-producing members of the flock. Good feeding, placed by many sheepmen ahead of good breeding, is likewise highly important in the production of high-grade market animals. Plenty of milk is probably the most important feed item in producing top-notch lambs. This means that the ewes must be fed for milk production. Many growers feed their1 lambs some grain in addition to the milk. This is often placed in a creep where the lambs may help themselves without being disturbed by the older sheep. In addition to good feeding and good breeding, there are a large number of approved management practices that the most successful sheepmen follow. One of the most important is a regular monthly drenching for the control of internal parasites. *M Twlet Told Tale mm ef htwMl Tains Fr»« til* at FiaiMjplP. ef Tian Ace SIXTY TEARS AGO The railroad company have been making a good improvement at the depot the past week. They have extended the platform south from the depot eighty feet, thus giving the muchneeded room for yetting oa and off the trains. Counterfeiting has finally cot down to where it really concerns us. Bogus ten cent pieces are afloat. The special town meeting op Saturday last, for the purpose of raising money to build a bridge did not draw out a very large vote, only 69 being polled, 63 being in favor and 6 against, therefore the commissioners will immediately take steps to let the job and have the work commenced. We believe the prospect now is that they will put up an iron bridge. We trust they will build a good one at all events.

TONY ACCETTA (right), of Cleveland, noses out his rivals in the national association of angling and casting clubs tournament to retain the title of U. S. professional all-around bait- and fly-casting champion. He is shown receiving a plaque emblematic cf his victory from Dr. Clinton K. Higgins, of St. Louis, association president for 1940 and a contestant in the meet, which was held in that city. Accetta, who stars in "Let's Go Fishing", a 2-reel baitcanting picture produced for free distribution by the Fisher Body division of General Motors, it is rumored may soon make a companion piece for the automobile body-building concern, a new sound film dealing with the sport of flycasting. Trees Have Sexes A tree is a tree to most of us. Rarely do any of us pause to consider that trees have sexes too, and even more rarely do we demand a male or a female tree when we buy one. Yet when purchasing a tree, or shrubs, it is important to consider the sex. In the purchase of holly, for instance, unless you buy both male and female plants, they will not bear fruit, unless you have a nearby neighbor who has some holly bushes of the opposite sex to yours, in which case his bushes will pollenize yours. + 'Frame' Vegetable Plots Are Proving Successful Farm families in sections of the country subject to excessive heat and insufficient rainfall have found that they can still raise enough fresh vegetables for home use by planting frame gardens. Though they have been used by some farmers for a number of years, it was not until the past year that their use became widespread. The Farm Security administration has sponsored the gardens as an aid to a balanced diet, especially where drouth has prevented farmers from growing many vegetables for home consumption. Many of the farmers have used scrap lumber in constructing: the frame. It is usually four or five feet wide, 12 to 18 inches high, and as long as de&ired. Frequently a subirrigation system is installed to improve production. This requires less water and less labor than surface irrigation--nor does the garden crust over.
