A Fine Wool Crop

Mr. P.C. Watson, living a few miles south of Howard, is not only a good farmer 
but is making a success at sheep raising.  Mr. Watson shipped to Columbus a few 
days ago 885 pounds of clear wool, of this seasons clipping for which he 
realized 22 cents.  Mr. Watson also shipped a like amount to Columbus last year 
for which he received 27 cents.  This far surpasses raising cotton.  But then 
farmers say they cannot raise sheep on account of dogs.  We think the whole 
country would be better off with at least one-half or two-thirds less dogs and 
more sheep and goats.


Additional Comments:
Note: Perry C. Watson was a brother of my great-great grandmother, Mary 
Elizabeth Watson Layfield.  I would like to correspond with anyone who is 
researching these families.
