Something had to be done. A
ew wise leaders with great vision
ind true interest in the welfare of
tVisconsin farming people rose to
he occasion. These men formed the
Visconsin Dairymen's Association. !
This association has played a great
iart in helping cows bring prosperly
to Wisconsin. - It has developed
eadeship, it has worked out difficult
iroblems. and it has proved itself a
rise guiding and balancing force
hroughout the past fifty years and
riore.
In 1870. Wisconsin's lands were
alued at $15 per acre. Today they :
atige in value from $100 to $200 1
ier acre. Wisconsin's cow populaion
today is 2.000,00, or one cow to
very four or five people. The value
f Wisconsin's dairy porducts is
270,000,000 anually.
What has this t0 do with each In- I

Just this. Our section Is facing a i

"the foster mother of the world."
The South?probably every single
state of It?Is making tremendous
strides In Increasing the qualllty
and numbers of Its dairy cows. Purebred
sires are being used more extensively,
, calf clubs are becoming
more popular cow testing associations
are growing in numbers. Each
of these is a gerat influence for
good in the sane, healthy growth of
a greater dairy industry.
But how many of our Southern
states have live, effective state
dairymen's associations? Some do
not even have such organizations in
name. Some have nominal organizations
that are practically Inactive.

CUTTING OUT COTTON
FOR LIVESTOCK
A reader says he wants to "cut
out cotton, raise three or four mule
colts, run a few beef cattle and a
few hogs, and raise corn and hay.
Do you think I could make a success?"
It is entirely practicable to make
a success along the lines indicated,
but whether our reader can do so
we are unable to say. It is purely
a question of management. If we
knew all the conditions, the ability
of the man, the character and fertility
of the so". and the knowledge
ad experience which the inquired
has had in livestock, corn and hay
farming, we might venture a prediction,
but it would only be a prediction.
We think cotton farmers should
raise more corn, hay, and, livestock,
but we do not think it generally
wise to "cut out cotton." At least
It is safer and we think generally
best to slowly change one's system
of farming. It is best to learn the
new lines of farming before etirely
cutting out the old line. Cotton is

a part of the farming operations
will aid to Increase soil fertility and
Increase cotton yields.
To produce mule colts and beet
cattle and get them, ready for the
best sales requires two, three or
four years before there is much income
from them. If our reader contemplated
growing corn and hay and
feeding these to dairy cattle instead
of mules and beef cattle, we would
feel safer in advising him to "cut
out cotton," but even then, with
dairy cattle, hogs, corn and hay we
I believe we would have to advise
that he grow into and learn these
lineS of production before entirely
cutting out cotton. In fact, we
doubt if any farmer producing hogs,
dairy products, corn, and hay, should
entirely cut out cotton. We think
' these livestock and feed crops can
be combined with cotton to make a
more profitable and safer system of
farming. It requires more ability,
more thinking and planning and the
management will be more troublesome,
but there is little doubt but
the greater lability and trouble will
bring better (returns than any onecorp
system jjof farming. These observations
are intended to apply to
the average man" with the average

! Progressive Farmer.
CO OPS FIGHT FOR
LOWER COTTON RATES
The cotton ocoperatlves of the
South are making a fight for lower
freight rates on cotton. For the
first time in the history of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, an
organization has attempted to secure
1 a reduction in freight rates on coti
tou. Individual farmers have long
| felt that in comparison with other
j comomdities cotton pays too much

what could they do about it? Indi- I
viduals are helpless in pleading a j
case such as this one. it is only by i
uniting their strength and applying I
it through an organizatio, that farm- I

It seems to The Progressive j1
Farmer that this action o? the cot-1'
ton coops is a fine illustration of !
two things: First, it is a fine illus-11
tration of how farmers through an j1
organization can promote movements |!
for their own good that would get j'
no attention from individual farm-j
ers. Second, it illustrates how every 1
cotton farmer in the South, both s
members of coops and non-members, 1
have benefited thruogh the organir- 1
ed efforts of a comparatively few i
cotou farmers, it is unfair that 10 i1
percent should fight, not only their f
own battles but those of the other *
90 percent, and yet the cotton coops '
can't help their own members with- f
out helping every cotton farmer in 1
the South. It is plainly the duty of i <
every cotton farmer, who controls
the marketing of his own crop, to I
join the coop and help put over I
these beneficial movement. ? The

VETCH A GOOD GRAZING
CROP FOR PIG8
- - %
At the Alabama Experiment Sta- + .
tion, Professor Grimes found that
'or gazing jpigs fed on all the corn,
ankage, and minerals the pigs would
sat, an acre of vetch was worth |33. ^
3ne lot of 10 pigs, fed all the corn
ind tankage they would eat and
?razed on an acre of vetch, when
ompared with another lot of 10
pigs, fed all the corn and tankage
,, , , , ,
:ney wouia eat in a aryioc, maae
jains tor $1.90 a hundred cheaper
than the pigs without the vetch grazing,
and a greater profit by $3.30
per head or $33 for the acre of
iretcb. The pigs were turned on
fetch the last week In February
ind at times were not able to keep
he vetch down, and dairy cows
ivere turned on it occasionally for a
diort time to keep the growth in
jest shape for the pigs to gaze.
Vetch makes little growth during
he fall and winter but in early
<pring its growth is surprisingly
apid. Vetch and oats, vetch and
vheat, or vetch and rye, if sowed in
September or early October, will
urhish a good cover crop and the
tains will give Jate falj and winter
,razing and then next spring, from
March to, May, will furnish good
;razing <jr make fine hay.?The Pro;ressive
