Freestone 4-H
Boys Initiate
Sheep Program
FAIRFIELD — Tvn Freestone
county 4-H boy; nro n<>\v in the
Sheep business. In July each re-
ceived five ewes in u program
sponsored by businessmen and or-
ganizations of the county.
County Agent J. H. PriUhnrd;
who supervises boys’ 4-H Club
work in the county, says the boys
are out to demonstrate that sheep
have a place on the small farms
of the county.
Each of the boys will return to
the program within three years five
ewe lambs. These in turn will be
passed on to other interested boys;
thus creating a chain-type pro-
gram.
l’itchard reports that sheep of
the Rnmbouillet breed were pur-
chased. The boys were responsible
for securing the rams. They were
selected by Pritchard from herds
in tho Sonora section.
We think the program is sound
and are sure the 4-H boys will
succeed. It could result in a new
source of farm income for the
county, says Pritchard
About 5,500 persons visit iho
White House daily.

Where, When and How to
Adjust the Human Spine
Ever since the first school of Chiropractic, Chiro-
practors have been taught where to Adjust, How to
Adjust, how often to adjust, when not to adjust and
how much spoed and force to use in making the ad-
justment. Proper schooling and training makes it
possible for one to master this uniquo method of
Spinal correction, purpose of which is to lift pressure
off of pinched and irritated nerves at a point where
they leave the spine.
So far, X-Ray Spinographs have given the Chiro-
practor the most help in making spinal corrections
because it gives us a "blueprint" to go by in our cor-
rective procedure and makes possible quicker correc-
tions of the vertebra or vertebrae not in proper posi-
tion.
