Sheep Clean Up Lumber Yard

"The man with the hoe" may weary and finally cease his listless chopping at weeds to slum6er in soml secluded corner, but the clean-up crerv shown here never finds the weed reducing job distasteful. They make no demands on the pay-roll a_nd their mutton and wool will eventually pay handsomely for their "keep."

Weeds about the bases of lumber piles retard the free air circulation which is needed to hasten seasoning and prevent sap stain and decay. When dry, weeds add 1o the yard's fire hazard.

The plan of pasturing a flock of sheep in the lumber yard to keep the weeds down is not entirely new but it is not a common one. The sheep seem to relish the hardiest of the weeds commonly found in lumber yards and their sharp hoofs also cut up the soil and discourage heavy sodding with grass and weeds.

JACK DTONNE WrNS FT. WORTH LUMBERMEN TO HOO-HOO CLUB IDEA

From the "Hoo-Hoo Bulletin"

Fort Worth, Tex., is going to have a Hoo-Hoo'Club-all because of the patriotic efforts of our old friend, Jack Dionne, publisher of "The Gulf Coast Lumberman" and the "California Lumber Merchant."

Brother Jack weht over to Fort Worth from Houston the other day-at his own expense-and addressed .the lumbermen on the advantages of a Hoo-Hoo Club. Everybody who has heard Brother Dionne talk knows that he is quite convincing and he was "charged" from head to heels with Hoo-Hoo enthusiasm.

Thirty lumbermen were pfesenf-566g members in good standing, others delinquent and quite a few non-members. When a little luncheon feast and Brother Jack's talk were concluded, every man in the room pledged himself to serve as a committee of one in rounding up the remainder of the lively Texas city's lumber population. A committee was appointed to draw up plans for the club immediately, with Scott Teel, of Teel & Penry, as chairman. Plans also will be worked out for a Concat in the near future.
