With the outlook for quality peaches being good; a heavy set being in some orchards, plus low moisture content of the soil being its present condition, thinning becomes all the mqre necessary if maximum ' returns are to be had. All peach growers are urged to take advantage of this opportunity to learn this method of thinning. Come and bring your orchard help.

Over the grapevine comes the word that Mrs. Frank Glass was made an offer of $1.25 per pound for the wool produced at Jessamine Hill, but refused to sell and will hold for the pool. Congratulations Mrs. Glass! For the past several years farmers selling their wool through the pool have received more money than those selling to dealers.
Eddie Gore was offered $1.40 per pound for his sheep wool plus 5c commission on all he could buy at that figure. Eddie too knows where he can receive the most for his wool and declined the offer.

Recent observations have plainly indicated that sheep .well fed and housed during the past winter are shearing 3 to 5 pounds more per fleece than those given scant grain rations plus poor housing. This comparison was made on several lots of sheep all of which were of Western breeding and received by their owners from a carload shipment. The bulletin “Prosper with Sheep” is available at my office upon request and offers helpful suggestions proven worthy. »
