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 ividual Southern state? Just this. Our section Is facing a i trikingly similar situation! to that ] hich facid Wisconsin a I half-cen-i: ury ago. Door, worn-out soils, low ields per acre, low priced cotton, j lsect ravages such as those of the \ oil weevil, etc., are causing many irniers throughout the South to ice poverty and failure.

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. ?The Progressive Farmer. 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.

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.

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. ?
