Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 4,1978 Sheep and wool (Continued from Page 93) apply for incentive payments at the ASCS office. The wool pool by the group this year will be for one day, probably held the third week in June. Lamb prices are presently climbing, due to the Easter market. While the group plans no lamb pools, it was announced that the Carlisle Easter Market lamb sale will be March 17. Roland Freund, Cum berland County Extension Agent, spoke on preparing wool clips. Quality wool, he related is the product of careful flock management maintained throughout the year. This needs to be done to avoid the problems of tender fleeces and foreign matter in the wool which are the most frequent reasons for downgrading wool. Freund went on to say that wormy, weak, and sick sheep produce tender-fleeces when, due to stress or fever, the wool temporarily stops growing. To reduce the chances of this, sheep owners should keep sheep healthy and well fed while not overly fat. The 'sheep should be wormed regularly. Any illnesses, and lameness must be treated promptly. While difficult to eliminate straw, burrs, etc., from wool, it is possible to keep sheep cleaner with care. Control of burr producing FISHER SPRAY PAINTERS (Henry K.

Hay and grain should be kept off sheep’s backs and heads when they are fed. When bedding is put down, the sheep can be driven outside. At shearing time, fleece damage cah be avoided with a little care. Sheep should be sheared on a clean dry floor, with a clean tarpaulin on the ground if necessary. Wet sheep should not be sheared with all animals housed for 24 hours before shearing time. Dirty ewes should be crotched out before shearing. Second cuts when shearing should be avoided. Fleeces are to be tied with the flesh-side out. Only paper twine is best when tying the fleeces, as other twine gets into the wool and cannot be removed in processing. Wool should never be placed in woven plastic bags. Shreds of the plastic get into the fleece. And finally, he added, wool should be stored m a dry clean place. All 4-H members from Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lebanon, and York County present at the banquet were recognized. Two directors, Alex Kessel and Robert Holtry, were elected for terms until 1981. Also elected to office was Edward Luhn, as auditor.
