On every Southern .farm there Is grazing land enough, or might be gra zing land enough to feed a milk cow for eve^y family living on the farm without ia any way lessening the cot ton, com and other cultivated crops. On every farm in Franklin County en ough roughage could be grown and saved to feed the dairy cow without extra cost or labor by merely using some of the labor now wasted or not used. Even If a little cottonseed meal had to be bought the value of the manure from the cow would lar ??if. nnjr ^ nf ^ olean whole milk for every growing person wh^ieedsjt most, and for all others whofleed it only a Ump-tuwr could be oDiriimnl at piacilenlly aa extra cost; yet perhaps &n average of one fourth the farm families in the county have no milk cow and no milk supply. I believe I am safe in say ing that not one half the children who need milk so much in their daily diet ever taste any In the winter. The feeders of live stock long ago learned that nothing would take the place of milk for young growing things, but only recently has it been proved that the same fact holds true for growing children. There is nb substitute for milk. It Is an abso lute necessity for the proper growth and development of children. It is not necessary that the child drink milk, tho this Is best, but It must get milk in some way. Whole milk must t-be-oonBuniffl, aa_drink. in soups. in bread, in creamed foods of in somb 'other form. This has been proved beyond any question and it is a posi tive fact that there is no substitute, yqt to think of the thousands of grow ing children who do not have milk a^ff a regular or principal food product. The Red Cross Drive, Tuberculosis Hospital Drive and others are worthy but none so important as a drive foi a Milk Cow and an Ample Milk Sup ply for Every Home. Farmers interested in buying cot ton Beed meal, mixed feeds, phosph ate, tile, hay, Bait, fertilizers and any thing else of interest to farmers sh ould get in communication with "The County Agent and Farm Bureau" 141 West Jackson Building, Chicago, whi ch will furnish the addresses of near by dealers who will sell at wholesale prices to "any Farmers Union, Com munity Club or farmers buying co operatively . At a community meeting at Sandy Creek, some weeks-a^o/the Agent sug gested ways to brighten the holidays for the sick and the old of the neigh borhood. On Thursday night, a truck/ load of singers serenaded quite a num ber of old people. On Christmas Eye the Agent carried toys and confejc tloneries to aome little folks of fene community. These wofe brought by the young folks and selected by the Principal, Miss Aycocke, who certain ly knowB how to make glad the hearts of little tots. Mr. B. G.
