Raising of Sheep Advocated as Qne
Way To Get Bettei Price lor Grain
. One way to get a better price
for grain this year will be "to
put it through lambs," believes
C. A. (Tex) Ritter, shepherd on
Texas Tech farms. He explains
the possibilities in sheep raising
in the article, "Sheep Make Mo-
ney on Plains" in the September
issue of The Progressive Farmer
magazine.
Sheep raising is a natural
for the South Plains this year,
Ritter points out. There were
wheat and small grain pasture
for grazing. There's more acres
irt grain sorghum than ever and
it wouldn't be necessary to ship
iambs out for finishing.
Fat calves and fat lambs bring
about the same price, but it
takes less time and less feed to
put a finished lamb on the mar-
ket, he explains. Seven sheep to
one cow can be run on wheat or
irrigated pasture.
Jeff Kidd of Plainview has a
good set-up for feeding out
lambs. He gets 500 to 1,000 head
at a time from range country,
weighing 60 to 70 pounds each.
He shears them, puts them on
new wheapasture or stalk
fields until they're up to 70 to
80 pounds. Within a week after
they go on feed, he puts. them
on two pounds of grain day.
With this amount of concen-
trate, they are finished^ in 60 to
SO days. ' """"
Will Stacy, farmer near Lub-
bock, makes use of lake waste-
lands. Sheep will eat weeds and
grass from such areas that cat-
tle won't touch. "After grazing
out the lake wastelands he puts
them on 20-80 mixture-of cotton-
seed meal and hUlls and alfalfa.
Ritter believes South Plains
farmers could winter ewes and
raise their owto lambs. The South
Plains is about as close to chief
markets as much of the- range
country. Too, he feels thpre will
be. a big demand in the. area for
lambs as 4-H club projects be-
cause of the drouth,' . '

Letters From
Our Readers
LORENZO LIONS ARE
NON-POLITICAL
To the Editor:
As you know, the Lions' Clubs
of the world are completely non-
political. However, a recent pub-
lished statement by Sheriff Roy
Hillin attempts to involve this
club in a political race.
This statement alleges that
the Lions Club of Lorenzo has
been forced to form a committee
of "anonymous informers" in an
effort to control local traffic vio-
lators.
We feel we must, in all truth,
tell you this: Citizens' Traffic
Groups are being formed all ov-
er the country by good citizens
to help promote traffic safety.
Ours is no different, and the
Citizens' Traffic Commission
riere is set up along the same
lines as all the others. *
Qur members are not "infor-
mers". They merely note viola-
tions of citizens (especially
Lions), and. then send a cour-
teous card to the violator asking
them to be more cautious in
their driving.
We are doing this solely as a
safety project, as others are do-
ing ill over the country, and
thus must firmly reject all at-
tempts to unjustly involve* this
club in politics. This letter to
you is being made public only
because of the widespread pub-
licity , given to the original
charge.
Very truly yours,
' W. R. Faubion, President,
Lorenzo Lions Club

FORD IS FIRST IN SALES
-by thousands
National new-car registration figures* for the first six months
of 1954 prove that Ford leads the industry in sales! In fact, ever
^ ' T * . * s 1
since car production has been free of restrictions, more and more
new-car buyers have been swinging over to Ford. That's because
Ford offers more things for more people than any other car. In
today's Ford, for example, you get the matchless benefits of owning
fthe only car in the low-price field with a V-8 engine (the new
Ford Y-block V-8) . . the only car in Ford's field with the smooth
ride of Ball-Joint Front Suspension s .. the only car in Ford's field
with truly modern styling .J*, the only car in Ford's field with
such high resale value.
*SOURCIi R. L Polk and Company. Regfetration figures for January
through June, inclusive, the latest period for which flguren.are available.
