Sheep Raising
Shows Decrease
In This County
By FRED E. BOSS
Asso. Agent
The sheep population in Madi
son County has been decreasing
steadily for the past five years.
I believe that many of our farm
ers are missing the boat, when
they get out of the sheep busi
ness. The most common excuses
for getting out of the sheep busi
ness is dogs. In my opinion, the
real reason is probably fences. A
good sheep fence should turn all
but the most determined sheep
killer dog, and the only way to Carolina Department of Agric
keep him out is a good high-powered
rifle. Anyone with mountain
nast.ure. that is irrowinir un in
shrubs and going back into woods
is missing a very economical way
of keeping this filth out of the
past inc. Sheep arc natural brows
crs thai means that they pre
fer to eat these rough plants
rather than the grass which means
that cattle and sheep on mountain
pastures make a very good com
bination.
We have an excellent inarke'
for both lambs and wool in West
ern North Carolina, and the Gov
ernment pays a very liberal sub
sidy for both. Anyone interested
in betting back into the sheep bus-
iness or expanaing nis hock
should consider buying some of
the Western ewes which the North

Woodson Ray Has
Automatic Silage
Feeding System
Woodson Ray of the Gabriel's
Creek community has constructed
an automatic silage feeding sys
tem which he says save about M
of the labor of feeding his beef
cattle and about M of the time.
He made the system out of lum
ber, which he cut off his place,
and second hand motors and con
veyer chains, which he picked up
from junk yards. He figures he
has a little over $200 in his au
tomatic feeding system, and fig
ures that with a little prior plan
ning he could have done it for
less. This is an overhead system
where the silage is carried along
through a wooden tabs by the
chain and he regulates where the
silage falls by opening and clos
ing trap doors in the tube.
Mr. Ray says that the more
cattle you feed with one of these
automatic feeding systems, the
more economical it is.

Some cars do best on the highway. Others
seem tailor-made for city driving.
Then there's Corvair that gets along
just great most anywhere. Swishing along
a highway. Scurrying around in traffic.
Or wading through a soggy trail.
Take highway driving. Corvair's got a
bigger new engine with horsepower up
nearly 19 in the standard version. But
in case figures don't impress you, just wait
until you head a Corvair for some far
away places. You'll get the message.
Take city driving. Corvair's
trim size, light steering (because
the engine weight's in the rear)
and flat cornering make anything from
rush-hour driving to parking a cinch.
Take back-road driving. The weight of
Corvair's engine bearing down on the rear
wheels gives them remarkable gripping
power on most any surface, whether it's
loose, solid, dry, wet or even snow covered.
Something else you can take note of,
too: There's no radiator to overheat or
run dry. No hoses to check or replace. No
need for antifreeze. The engine's air cooled.
Beginning to sound like a car you can
really warm up to? Then there's
only one thing left to take: a ride
in one at your Chevrolet dealer's.
