Sxr Cresm dairying, Hogs and PouU
trj A SafePrcgram Fcr the
Southern Farmers.
Sour cream dairying, hogs, and
poultry is a program that is ap
pealing strongly to business men,'
bankers, and all people who ap
preciate the fundamental im
portance of the agricultural in
dustry as well as to the farmers
themselves.
The fact that cotton as the
principal source of cash income
and as -a safe basis for credit is
no loger dependable and safe is
apparent to everyone and while
we. shall continue to produce cot
ton, we now realize that the
economic error of importing food
and feed .stuffs, paying more
therefor, than it would cost to
produce- those necessities upon
our own lands, must be corrected;
Diversification of crops has
been made, we have found, as
i we have diversified our agricul
ture, simply raising a wider
range of. crops fb.be-.marketed
in the raw state, that our
marketing problems have been
immense sand now most farmers;
as well as otfter interested peo
ple tell you that marketing farm
production is our greatest pro
blem. ' K - . - ; . . I ,
It is remarkable, and we would
mggest it should be a source of
gratification to everyone inter
ested in agriculture, that; the
greatest problem is in connection
with what may be termed staple
erops, suchaseorn, hay and other
products; that:are most desirable
feeds' forlive stock; Fruits and
vegetables are. being marketed

And though you are likely to wind up in jail, V
Don't think aboutthat fot the present
ourmarktinrrsystem ifothese,
fruit and ' truck : arid vegetable
farmers are in much better shape
so: far as marketing isconcerned
than are generaf farmers who
happen to have some surplus
corn, hay, etc
The fact that so many millions
of dollars worth of hay, oats,
corn and other feed stuffs are be-
ing imported into the South ev
ery year in the form of butter
and , other dairy products, poultry
and eggs, not to mention pork
anf beef, ought to give us hope
with reference to the problem
confronting us so far as the
marketing of grain, hay arid
other feed stuffs is concerned.
Ever farm, whether large or
cnall, ought to have upon it a
fed cows and a flock of chickens
and a brood sow or two. Rather,
we would say, every farmer
cnght to keep two or three cows
Pr horse, that is two or thee
cows' for each work animal. A
flock of chickens and hogs to
consume all the surplus skim,
milk produced. The cream
should be sold to a creamery and
receipts for cream sold and for
poultry sold throughout the year
will be found sufficient to meet
current expenses of the farm
and family. TmV plan-would
not only sol vis the urgent market
ing problems oftoday but would
place the south upon a sound
economic basis, keeping many a
dollar at home thatnow goes be
yond pur borders for butter arid
other dairy products, poultry,
Ss, etc. V
The souths position is splendid
now for reorganizing its agricul
tural 'system. We have more
surplus feed than ever before
and have to a greater, extent
than ever in our recent history
become accustomed to growing
tfrain and forage, Our dairy
cattle and breeding Hogs are
ity, having been . steadily im- :rtfK
v cu uunng tne last iew years.
The greatest need is for stronger
moral support of the dairying,
hogs ; and poul ty', program by

practically already existing,

Certainly every farmer or farm
