ilFTHE FAIR OVER?
Foolish question you will say f
ask 'Is the Fair Over*? If it bo < \ r
it might well not have boon hold. Of
course the exhibits have boon carried
back home, the stock and poultry are
gone, the bright lights of the carnival
are dimmed, and shortly the
premium checks will be mailed out.
But do these things make the fair0
Yes. a sort of temporary fair, but it
is hoped by the officers and members
of the Fair Association that the physical
display that was had on the fair
grounds for four days last week start.
red a train of ideas through the minds
of the more than 5.000 people who
went through the gates < f th- fair
grounds that will not bo halted for
months to come. Unless such be
the case, the fair was held in vain.
The fair is primarily held for the
agricultural folk. It has its entertainment
features, it is a social
agency, it should form friendships
and bonds between the people of the
county, rural and urban, but above
all, it is an educational institution.
It is designed to advertise the county
I and it? possibilities to its own people.
It seeks to show to the people what
other people are doing:. Its aim is to
inspire greater effort and industry on
the part of those who are engaged in
the business of developing the natural
resources of the county and latent
capacities of the people of the
county. Those who attend the fair
should pet new ideas and a new inspiration
to carry on. It should be
an urge to each individual to try
to do alittle better next year. It
should inspire love for one's section
and one's county to see what his
section and his county produces and
manufactures.
The fair should be a living institution
in the minds and hearts of the
people from year to year. If it does
not live than the three or four dayit
is hardly worth the holding.
The October number of the American
Motorist, a monthly magazine of
the American Automobile Association
carried a strip map of a new
highway from the Great I.akes to
Southeastern points together with an
article stating that the highway
would bo thrown open on the 28th
of this month. It is interesting to
note that this route, which is declared
to be at lenst 260 miles shorter
than any other route from the rtreat
I-akes Region to Florida, comes over
the ASH or number 10 route from
Asheville to Murphy. It taps such
northern cities as Chicago, Toledo,
Cleveland. Columbus, Pittsburgh.
Dayton and intermediate points.
This route, tapping the great lakes
rociAn nnH tnorthnrn section of
the ASH route, tapping southern
Canada and Eastern cities of the
United States should jointly funnel
through the Asheville-Murphy section
of route Number 10 thousands upon
thousands of north and south tourists
In order to give publicity to the
opening of this new route Bluefield.
Princeton and Beekley. West Va.,
are planning a big celebrat\?n on th
23th of this month- This celebration
is being sponsored by the Bluefield
I ions Club, to which a representative
of the Murphy Club is invited.
Help with the meat curing problems
on the farm may be secured by
writing for a copy of bulletin 249,
"Curing Meat in North Carolina".

PROFIT IN SHEEP
RAISING IN SOUTH
GOOO PRICES CAN ALWAYS BE
HAD FOR EARLY SPRING
LAMBS.
By G. VV. Humphrey, Agricultural
Agent. Southern Railway System,
Atlanta, Ga.
In the general live stock program
for Southern farmers, there is one'
I branch of meat animal production
| which, as a whole, has been sadl>
neglected, namely, sheep. Therein lies
a branch of animal husbandry offering
most splendid returns, and one
which should have much more consideration.
Climatic conditions in the South are
most favorable and the sheep farmer
enjoys many advantages in economical
feeding, housing, etc.. because ol
lite long grazing season and moderate
winters.
Karlier in our history the South was
an important sheep raising section of
the country and sheep were found to
he on many farms and upon the
! ranges.
j In ISSO, there were in the ten Southern
states traversed by Southern I
Railway System. 1,155.000 head ot
sheep, while in 1923 the number had
dwindled down to 1.951.000. showing
a loss of 2.204.000 during these years
In the same period cattle have show-D
an Increase of 2.80S.000 head.
Small Outlay Required,
r. A small flock of sheep may be
started without a large outlay of capital
and they ure a great producer
of revenue in the form of lambs and
wool. The main object with farm
flocks In the South should be the
production of oarl.. lambs, and to obItaln
a good market It Is necessary
that there be sufficient flocks in a
given ' >cality so that the lambs may
oe assembled and -raded. then ship- I
ped in carload lot* to the beat markets.
A farmer with a small flock
by himself is at a disadvantage ur less
he has sufficient for a carlot
shipment or a local market which can
take his product. However, there are
plenty of instances where farmers
have but a few head and the sale o'
lambs brings a nice cash Income.
We would advise starting with a
small flock, say twenty-five head
tlood common ewea can usually t?bought
fur around $5.00 or $6.00 p?
head Forty dollars or $30.00 wl!
buy a purebred registered ram of goo
? onformatior Twenty-live ew. *
*5.-0 and registered ram at $50 I
.vould ' an investment of $17"
With ? od attention the farmer ma
crop These l~mbs should wv*ig
sixty-five pounds by May 1st to 15
and a: prices prevailing the past se;
son should be worth about $9.5 p<
head T enty-five lamb a this prlc*
would be worth $237 50 and the wo<
clip, estimated at $30.00. would a:
gregate $267.50 or $92.50 more th:
the initial cost of the flock.
