NEWS AND VIEWS"' OF THE FARMERS ; By H. M. HABJIL/TON, Jr. j County Farm Agent. In traveling over the county I find r that a number of sheep are being c fed and a farmer cannot afford to c neglect his sheep at this time of the ? year. A good ration for ewes is one l part each of corn, oats and bran. The ewes that have already lambed should receive at least two pounds of this grain ration a day. A good legume hay is also important in the ewes' feed. The ewes should receive two or three pounds of hay per day. Cottonseed meal can be added to the grain ration after the lambs are born; however oneeighth to one-fourth of a pound per ewe is enough cottonseed meal to feed. ir...i i?i? t?? uuvii JV.UI V\ HCtl ldlliud UUgUI IU | go on the market, there are always. more low grade lambs offered for sale than there are good ones. This j big mistake can be party corrected i by proper feeding at this time of the ; year. Good pasture is also very im- | portant. In order to produce top! lambs for the market, the lambs must be fed so that they will gain in weight from the day they arcborn until the day they are sold. A small flock of sheep properly cared for will return more profit: than any other kind of livestock that is kept on the farm in this county. Therefore, the farmers are urged to give better attention to their sheep. Feed the ewes good, creep-feed the lambs, dock and cas trate the lambs when they are a week or ten days old and see that the sheep have sufficient, pasture this summer and all of these factors should mean better lambs and more profit from sheep. MY MOTHER My mother never does get blue. She is a mother so kind and true: She reads the Bible every day And asks the Lord to guide the way. She never forgets to pray at night, That she may see a brighter iight. : My mother is so kind to me, She is as happy as she can be. My mother is a friend of mine. And always on lite Christian line. She always is so near to me, | And falls upon her bending knee. I She always prays and cries at night! That she may raise her children ] right. ?Doris Fletcher. Sherwood, N. C. A CORRECTION The Democrat is informed that reports of the marriage of Millie Nor- : ris and Curtis Greer, Maxie Phillips j and Don Stevens, which were published in the paper last week, wore; untrue, and the publication of the! items is regretted. The newspaper handled them strictly for their news value and didn't question their authenticity. Prices received by American farmers for meat animals and livestock products averaged about two per cent higher in 11)40 than in 1939, reports the U. S.
