Wc are pnly short of labor on Southern farms by comparison to what we once had. " .'- ; VI The corn croptff era the greatest opportunity' for adding to our usual supplies of dry roughage. The stover is worth from " one-half to three fourths as much as the grain if pro perly sayea. If worth even one-fourth stock on roughage and the by-pro ducts from the preparation of human f oods. -.'Never again will human food grains be cheap enough so that the livestock feeder can use them with the lavish hand, the extravagance, which he has in the past. The prob lem of the Southern livestock pro ducer, therefore, is to get the maxi mum results from pastures, silage and legume hays with a minimum of high- priced concentrates. But the die is already cast in so far as the growing of feeding stuffs for this year is con- as much a the grain it is still worth cerned. However, next to production enough to justify saving it, and it is in importance, is conservation or the, difficult 'to understand why it is not saving of feeding stuffs. Much can more generally saved in a country yet be done to make the supplies of where dry roughage is always scarce feeds ample for the coming year, by and consequently always high-priced, saving all we grow. , The objections given by those who v v do not save the . corn stover are var- ied, but among the number is the .The supplies of feeding stuffs may difficulty of curing it in a moist cli- be very greatly increased by saving mate.
