SHEEP AND GOAT
Any movement that makes
for the development of Arkan
sas is certain to win recogni
tion and support of the people
of the state, and that is why
officials of the State Food Ad
ministration are confidant the
Legislature will acquiesce in
what now appears to be a
state wide request for a law
that will give ample protec
tion to the sheep and goat in
dustry.
Over eighteen months ago
State Food Administrator
Hamp Williams, began an in
vestigation into this feature.
It did not take long to ascer
tain from those who have been
raising sheep and goats on a
small scale—large operations
being impossible because of
the menace to be referred to—
that “roaming dogs” and
worthless curs were the great
est hindrance to successful op
eration of sheep and goat
ranches. Data on the sheep
and goats and the dogs in the
state was asked for. That
part of the inquiry was made
by County Food Administrat
ors. Their final reports are in.
A conservative and careful es
timate shows that there are
177,000 more dogs in the state
than there are sheep and goats
combined.
me campaign state iooa ad
ministrator Williams was mak
ing soon attracted attention.
Among the first to endorse it
was the newspapers of the
state. They not only printed
the information sent out from
state headquarters but they
also, in many, many instances
gave it their fullest editorial
endorsement.
Then the Arkansas State
Council of Defense recognized
action subordinate councils in
various counties look, which
passed resolutions urging a
tax on dogs and the protection
of sheep and goats. This was
along the line the State Food
Administrator was working.
Agents of the Extension Di
vision of the Department of
Agriculture are working for
the sheep and goat ndustry to
a man, C, W. Watson, State
Agent, asking them to ass’st
in the campaign. Finally the
bankers of the state got in line
and today the campaign for
protective legislation for the
sheep and goats is in full
bin tMKed (roil
JWearVbur Button,
swing. The State Agricultural
Department is also assisting
in this feature, and, as Robert
E. Wait, Secretary of the Ark
ansas Bankers’ Association,
stated, “seetiment was never
so crystalized for such legis
lation as at the present time.”
Among the material to fur
ther the sheep and goat indus
try that is being sent through
out the state is a circular that
shows “fifty sheep killed in
one night by two dogs” These
circulars are being sent to the
county food administrators,
county agents, all the banks in
the state and also to the rural
schools. School children in
the country districts are post
ing them. The work in the
schools is being conducted un
der the direction of A. B. Hill,
of the School and College divi
sion for the State Food Ad
ministration. It is believed the
proposition will meet with fa
vor among the pupils of the
rural schools.
“When one considers the
great possibilities for the big
ranches for sheep and goats in
the state,” Mr. Wait informed
the State Food Administration
“and then realizes there are
177,000 more dogs than sheep
and goats combined in Arkan
sas, it is time the people, and
espeially the farmers, realize
they are letting a fortune slip
away from them and at the ex
pense of dogs that bring them
no revenue.”
State Food Administrator
Williams now asks all who
know of the campaign to in
crease the sheep and goat in
dustry to appeal to members
of the senate and house of rep
resentatives to support such
legislation as will give them
protection.
“Seek out the men whom
you have elected to represent
you in the legislture. If you
are in favor of having more
sheep and goats in the state
than ever before and making
, Arkansas one oi the greatesl
, states in the union in this in
dustry, tell your senators anc
representatives so. Write anc
. let me know what they say
The opportunity is here if the
people will only insist thai
such a law be passed.”
