participated in the fair this year. In

quite beyond that attained by most

FARMING IN SOUTH
ON SOUNDER BASIS
DEVELOPMENT OP PRACTICAL
PLANS POR DIVERSIFICATION
AND SOIL BUILDING.
COW, HOG AND HEN PROGRAM
Combination of Dairying and Poultry
Raising Provides Current
Income for Farm.
By Roland Turner. General Agricultural
Agent, Southern Railway System,
Atlanta. Ga.
The future ?>f the South'a farming 1
industry, and the general business j
prosperity of the Southern country
Insofar as affected by agriculture. Is
secure.
In the development of any important
enterprise the first step Is the
, cartiuJ. thought ful formation of plans
Southern agriculture is a great euj
terprlse, the plans for which have
been perfected In every important de(
tall, and the work of construction is j
now under way. as Is evidenced I y
the wide diversity of interest in pro- j
j duction 1 practically every Souhtern j
fanning community. The South has j
engaged in sounder thinking since the
advent >?f the cotton Ik?11 weevil and !
has set about the correction of the |
economic error of buying front other j
sections foods and feeds that could |
he grown at home.
fn the cotton belt, east of the Mississippi
river, since the advent of th.?
cotton boll weevil, the development
of Improved methods and of wide <11
versification of production, including
live stock, lias beeu most gratifying
Tho fine strides along these lines
j were not made without real effort.
'Hie service of the newspapers In
i "selling" the idea of the value of a
current cash income for ever> farmer
and the splendid way In which this
I might be secured through adding
cows, poultry and hogs, has b< < n fine
Indeed. |
Cow, Hog and Hen Program.
No plan ever suggested lias proved
so practical or has grown in such
1 favor as has the 'Vow. Hog and Hen
Program, embracing a few << vs on ^
every farm, the sale of cream and the j
feeding of skim milk to chickens and
pigs It has lieen most effee ive In ?
helping fanners and relieving their
' greatest necessity, that of a current a
cash Income to meet running ex- n
penses of the farm and family. (J
The sale of w'-ole milk can be made t
profitable only by those farmers most
( conveuiuully located with .ference to j
the cities and centers ??f population. 1 v
The farmer farther removed from the ,
iresli inilK markets should eHahllsh
himself In the dairy business upon j '
the basis of the sale of eream and j t:
should carry on the companion Indus- n
j trieB of poultry raising and hog rala- I
i lng In conn lion so as profitably to ^
i utilize skim milk on the farm
? Dairying on the basis of the sale ;
, of cream encourages the raising of j
t young stock, as the farmer has abun'
dant skim milk on which to feed '
his calves and It pays him to carry j,
thetn as a means of utilizing his hv- ^
product. The market for butter \ u
the South is. practically speaking, unlimited
and the same is true with jj
eferenee to the market for poultry j
! product* and for pork.
, Pastures throughout the South 01 J'
I superior carrying capacity to those
known In any other parts of the country
?re now common and may be observed u
on many farms In any section of the ;i
rotton belt. The introduction of le- a
guminous grazing plants, especially ; s
| the winter grow ing kinds and of it
grasses. Including Bermuda, Dallls
grass, carpet grass and kspedeza. has tl
j converted many a pasture from one is
. of poor production of Indifferent 0
j quality grazing to one of the highest ^
' excellence. ! c,
I . Greater Production Needed.
Southern farmers are not producing ti
anything like the annual volume of n
. wealth they might produce, consider- s
| lng strength of soils, rainfall. Its dis iT
' tributlon and general climatic coftdi- ^
tlons. Millie diversification alread} j.
reached 1h considerable and most grat- ^
ifylng. the many phases of farm pro- j (J
ductlon now in evidence should be
, added on a greater proportion of the 1
farms and are. as a matter of fact T>
i very rapidly being added. '
The platiB that have been formu B
lated and that have taken such defl
i nlte shape la the minds of Southern ><
farmers for the building of a great b
agricultural industry have Included ii
soil building. The long growing sea- e
i aon, coupled with a wide range of 1 c
' suitable legumes, makes It entirely j p
practical for the farmer to include a *
soil Improvement crop in connection j
with every Important money crop j t
grown In the South. He may thus add j g
to the soil, either through plowing In j j
the crop or its residue of humus- r
making material each year.

CROUP J
Unfortunately, this word croup has een
used as a name for various con- I
it ions, some serious and some uot, "
ntil there is some misunderstanding |
l the minds of many as to just what
le word means.
literally, croup is a disease charac- .
i-rized by laborious and suffocative ?
reathing, with sometimes spasm of I
lie larynx and sometimes a local {
lebrane in the throat. Diphtheria !
lso causes a tne!nl>raue iu the throat nd
when the disease is severe the
welling in the throat causes a chok- I
lg with difficult breathing. |
Because of this similarity, diph- ?
leria is sometimes called croup. This
s unwise for it leads to confusion and ?
ften obscures tho seriousness witlx' I
rhicl: diphtheria should always bo ?
onsidered. 7
-Itls" is a suffix meaning inflaniraa-j
ion and laryngitis means an Inflam-1 .
lation of the larynx. Among the less J
erious affections of the respiratory 11
act In infants, none gives more alarm- , J
3g symptoms than acute, spasmodic ?
iryngitls. During a spasm of the irynx
in infants thero are very few
lseases wnicn striae sucn terror 10 ij
tie hearts of parents, and yet as com- ! |i
ion as it is, it is consoling to kuow H
hat babies do not die from such 3
pasms alone. A characteristic of sim- JJ
le catarrhal laryngeal cough is that U
t is absent early in the day, that it jj
egina toward evening and iucreases n
a intensity during the night, and that, jj
ven without treatment, improvement 3
onies in the early morning hours. It . ?
s during the stage of greatest inten- U
ity. usually about midnight, or be-1jj
ween eleven and three o'clock, when 3
he spasm of the larynx occurs which : 3
lives rise to the symptoms that are so , JJ
iistressing to the child and the pa- Q
ents. Cyanosis and difficult breath-1 |j
ng. except in unusual cases, is pres- 3
nt only during the spasm. 3
Any doubtful or suspicious case 1 3
hould have Immediate medical atten U
ion to be sure the trouble is not diph- u
beria. While the doctor is coming Q
ise every effort to relax the spasm 3
>y heat and steam from boiling water. 3
slither hot or cold packs about the 0
leek are helpful. Li
Keeping the infant in overheated H
00ms during the day and suejecting

[is ports to spasm. I
