i SHEEP PAY BEST
; OF FARM ANIMALS
. RALEIGH, N. C., Sept. 21?
When kept under proper con
ditions, no farm animal pays
! better than sheep and there is
' new - interest in the animals
I now as shown by the fact that
; nearly every breeder within
the state has sold out his supply
of rams,
"The fact that sheep produce
? both a crop of lambs and a crop
of wool adds greatly to their
value and: significance on the
?arm."jtftys R. S. Curtis of the
- animafnusbimdry department
* of State College. "The wool
from a good sheep will pay-for
its keep, especially where the
necessary feed is produced on
the farm. In most cases from
20 to 40 sheep is a sufficient
number for the average farm
in North Carolina. There is
usually enough pasture going
to waste to supply such a small
flock of sheep during the pasture
season and it is easy to
make provision for the winter
feed."
Mr. Curtis states that sheep
are not so different fron: other

farm animals. The two most
serious problems before the
sheep grower are the roaming
dog and the active stomach
worm. The latter may be overcome
by a change in pastures
and the use of the bluestone
treatment, while the dog may
be frustrated by the use of corrals
at night. Placing the sheep
rals is .one of the necessary
farm chores in good aheep
practice.
"Other than these two
things, the growing of sheep is
a pleasant, satisfying and profitable
job which most any
member of the* family may
have in charge,'' says Mr. Curtis.
'The flock may be built
up by using a pure bred ram
on a flock, of common jjrade
ewes and any farmet can follow
this plan with little initial ,
or subsequent cost. A net profit
of $320 per year ran be se- ;
cured frpin a flock of 30 sheep
according to actual denionstratrations
and while it is too late
at this season of the year to
get into the sheep business, it ;
should be kept in mind fo- next j
year and a start made at tin
proper season." ]

KNOWLEDGE OF FOODS
ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH
(
RALEIGH, N. C., Sept. 21? i
Good health is dependent to a
great extent on (he food eaten
but to have the right kind for i
growth and health, it is neces- i
sary to know what food is
needed and what the different ]
foods aie used for.
"We know that food is divid- !
ed into the various classes according
to the work that it
does," says Mary E. Thomas,
specialist in nutrition for the 1
extension service ot State 101-1 <
lege. "If it build bone, it is 1
put into one class; if it builds !<
flesh, it is put into anojther i
class. Some foods keep us j

regulate the body processes and
others promote growth arid
health and help us to keep
well. There are six classes of
foods?water, mineral matter,'
protein- fats, carbohydrates
and vitamins." .
Water regulates the body
temperature, aids in digestion
and helps to carry off waste,
states Miss Thmas. Mineral
matter builds ud parts of the
body, as the bones and teeth,
and helps to keep the body in
good running order. Milk, fruit
and vegetables supply these
necessary minerals. Protein
builds muscle. Many foods contain
this protein bat milk* lean
moat, eggs, fish, peas and bean
are called protein foods. Fats
give heat and energy. They
are obtained from butter,
cream, oils, fat, meats and nuts.
Carbohydrates, the sugars and
starches, supply heat and energy.
They are obtained from,
sugar, bread cereals and potatoes.
Miss Thomas explains that in
addition to these foods- there
are important substances-called
vitamins which promote
growth and protect the body
from diseases. Certain foods
such as milk, butter, fruits, I
vegetables and whole-grain cer-!
eals are rich in vitamins and!
are protective foods essential
in the dnit each day.
Food is cooked to develop
new flavors, to make it moke j
it more digestible, to kill bac-.
teria, and in some cases to im-j
prove its appearance. 5

imported from foreign coun- S
tries.
"We find that imported
crimson clover seed is generally
not adapted to our conditions," o
says P. H. Kime, plant breeder a:
for the department of agron- tl
omy at State College. "Dur- ai
ing the epast three years we ?
have compared seed secured b
from foreign countries with g
that grown here in the south, h
In nearly every case we have ei
found that the southern grown E
seed -did no winter-kill and si
made a good growth, while the A
imported seed was a failure, a

badly and others made poor v
growth." ii
In one test described by Mr. p:
Kime, aeed of crimson clover k
grown i nthis country made a nr
yield of 2,000 pounds of hay b;
while seed secured from Eng- ri
land yielded only 1,;;G0 pounds o
of hay per acre- fj
Mr. Kime states that the ft
bulk of the imported crimson t
clover seed comes from France v*
where a number of commercial o1
varieties' are grown. Several t
different lots of French seed tl
have been tested by the North b(
Carolina Experiment Station oJ
and while one of these com- c<
pared favorably with southern w
seed, the others made very oi
poor yields. Under .ny condi- If
tion less risk is run when
southern grown seed are planted.
When the foreign seed are d
used, one may secure a good e
crop; but the chances are, p
states Mr. Kime, that he will e
not. a
?
Interest in cover crops, especially
vetch, continues good
throughout central and eastern 01
North Carolina. Farmers of j"
Scotland County have ordered
2.110 pounds of hairy vetch 1
and 1,000 pounds of Oregon "
vetch during the last week.
