SHEEP IN JACKSON COUNTY
(By C. W. Tilson)
There is no question of a doubt
but that we have more land in Jack
son county suited for growing sheep
than any other kind of livestock or
cash crop. And throughout the en
tire history of, Jackson county and
Western ^ North Carolina a small 1
flock of ewes well cared for have!
always paid our farmers more cash'
income for the labor, pasture, feed, '
housing and more invested in the1
stock than any kind of livestock we
have ever kept on our farms.
We now have according to the
last tax records for Jackson county'
3,109 sheep on 171 farms. This is
less than 19 ewes to the farm that
has sheep and just a little over one
sheep for even- farm in the county.
We have 2,543 farms in Jackson '
county. It we only had 19 ewes per
tann on two thirds of our farms, we
would now have 32,205 ewes in Jack
son county farms. Everybody knows
we ought to haVe sheep on at laest
two thirds of the farms in this!
county and we should have from 20 1
to 30 ewes on the average farm.
Ashe county which is a Wwstern N\
C. county much smaller than Jack-f
son has over 20,000 ewes
The wool from Ashe county sheep
according to the man who bought in 1
eariot wool pool sales brought the''
tanners, of that county approximate
ly $50,000. The wool from Jaekson ?'
county ewes sold for approximately
$7,000 this year The wool from the
?ovarage blaokl'aced >wd this year
sold through the Jackson county o|r
W, sale brought from $2.50 to $3.00
per ewe. We should have an aveargc !
of $9.00 per lamb for Buckweather *
lambs. We will have to sell this year, '
and the good ewe lambs kept for'
breeders are worth $9.00 to $10 eaoh
on an average. Then it is evident that
the average black faced ewe will payj
Jackson county farmers $11 to $12
this year gross income and leave him
the ewes. The Jackson county wool
and lamb crop this year will bring
from $32,000 to $35,000 cash count
ing the value of the ewe lambs w*
should <*nd must keep at home. With
19 ewe* on tWQ ffoirds of our farms
our income this ypar would be ap
proximately $350,000 for wopl $nd
lambs.
It is high time we were waking up'
and getting sheep inimjed in Jaekson
county. Comfort A. Tyler, Secretary
of the Hampshire Sheep Breeders
Association sayg the farmers who is
not raising sheep is five thousand
years behind the times. He is so far
behind the times he ought have liv
ed long before Abraham the Pa
trianch says Tyler. July is the)
month for the farmer who will start
sheep on his ferm to buy 12 or 15
good ewes. .9 r ewe lambs. You can't
wait later and fof/y them. If you try
you will b^ waiting another year and
pehraps two ^r three and you ujay
die 5,000 years^tnnd the times. Al
ready County Agetot C. W. Tilson has
a number of ewes' and ewe lambs
listed by sheep m^n in the county
that ean be bonght ?t the right
price. Other sheep men who have
ewes or ewe (ambs to ^ell are urged
to write the county agent what they
have to offer. Those men who need
sheep and will buy ewes or ewe
lambs should see the county agent
at once. And the men wanting good
purebred bucks should see Mr. Til
uou if he doesn't know where to buy
the best, for we have them and
priced right on W few Jackson coun
ty farms. j
We should noi let one ewe or ewa j
lamb that is fit for a breeder leaves |
the county this year. Now is the
tiini (o get bnsy and get these
breeders on farms that need
them.

county line on highway No. 28 about
20 miles west of Franklin. Aepordyip
to the evidence of the girl she and.
he two men started to church on!
the Cullasaja Sunday night about
8:00 o'clock. The girl's 12 year old,
brother was also in the car. On reach
ing Franklin, the little boy was giv- '
en a dime by Potts to procure some
candy. After the lad left the car the
men and girl drove up the Cullasija
river and obtained a cache of liqnorj
consisting of half a gallon. The par-'
ty then returned to Franklin where j
a puncture was repaired. This done
the car went west on highway No. |
28 and finally became stuck in the
mod at Black Gap at 1 :00 o'clock
Monday morning where it staid un
til 6:30 before the men were able to
get the car out. During this time
the girl claims that she was dragged)
from the car by Holland and heldj
while Potts assaulted her. Holland
then committed an assault while the'
girl was held by Potts, said the girl
when testifying. A short time later |
Potts assaulted her the s-econd time,'
i
she claims. After the car wa?s re-|
leased from the mud the men drove
#
the girl .to her liome. On the way
borne the girl claims that Potts
threatened to kill her should she tell
what happened during the night. On
tipohinf hnmr the giri immediately!
told her mother what the men had
done. The mother swore out' warrant
at once and this was served by Dep
uties Coffey and Cabe at the homes
of Potts and Holland who live .it
Pine Grove a few miles southwest of j

town and lodged in jail and at the
trial Monday afternoon were houudl

the party left Franklin the last timej
