Some Needs of Southern Agriculture
R. l.. Dabney, in Southern States
Magazine)
Continued from last week.


Another way in which the Southern
farmer must use his intellect is in de-
vising paying methods of manufacture
ing his crude farm products on the
farm. Staple products Of the farm,
like grain and hay, will always be sub
ject to great competition, and will
rarely bring him a considerable profit.
Wheat may sell for dollar once in
every ten years perhaps, when they
have no crops in other countries. But
the normal price of wheat is between
sixty and eighty cents. They should
be manufactured into meat or milk
before they are sold. In this way We
and the beef animal or the cow be-
comes factories of useful products. So
it is with rything else. We must
put the product into the very highest
form we possibly can before it leaves
the farm. In the case OF foOdstuffs,
we not only get the additional profits
of superior product, but we also save
the manurial elements Of the food to
fertilize the fields for the next crop.
The same laws apply in preparing
fruits orvegetables for market by can
ming or drying.
This leads me to emphasize one spe>
cial need of Southern agriculture,
which is, to make still more meat and
milk With the increased production
or forage in the South the production
of meat, milk and butter has greatly
increased during the last ten years.
The increased crops of corn mean
more hogs, and larger crops of hay
and oats mean more cattle and stock
of every kind. AS shown in my paper
in the March number of this maya
zine, the South has made most grat1-
fying progress on all these lines, but
great deal remains still to be done.
AS an illustra ton, let us consider
for moment the prospects Tor garry
ing in the South. Dairy products will
always be in great demand among civ
ilized nations the more of these prod
ucts they consume. 1t is estimated
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture that the milk from 5,OOO,-
600 COWS is annually consumed as
milk i'm the United States, the average
being about twenty-five and halt
gallons per year for each person.
This is about a tlmblerful each day
for each one of us. Strange 10 say
the weather. people of the cities use
more milk per person than village peo-
pie. and village people more than

quently pulled by hand and saved for
this purpose. Even during slave days
many an old negro pulled this grass
and built his stack Of hay, which he
sold for pocket money to buy sugar
and tobacco. Many other grasses
found in the South, if properly cared
for, would prove useful and valuable.
Professor Tracy, who is authority
on the subject of Southern grasses,
says 'The soil and china tic condi-
ton of the Southern States are so diff
ferent from those of the North that
different species of plants, as well as
different methods of culture and
treatment, are necessary to success in
the making of meadows and pastures.
The soil is exceedingly variable. In
many sections superior, care is neces,
sary to prevent the washing on hill
sides. Severe frosts are unknown, so
that many of the more hardy plants
continue their growth during the en-
tire winter. Although the growing
season is almost continuous for some
species, there are none which vii
make vigorous growth throughout
the year, so that permanent meadows
and pastures can be made only witt
mixtures of several species whic
make their growth at different sea-
sons" Professor Tracy has stated in
the Experiment Sta ation Record that
'the comparison of the Northern and
Southern grown hays shows very
clearly the larger proportions of pro-
tein and fats contained in many of the
latter, and their consequent superior
ity for feeding purposes. It is we'll
known fact that as hay plants become
older the proportion of crude fibre is
increased at the expense of the more
valuable protein and carbohydrates.
AS rule, the Northern meadows are
moved but once during a season,
while those of the South are usually
moved two or three times, so that the
season of growth for each crop of the
Southern hay is really shorter than
for those of the North, a condition
which renders superior the quality OF
the former" Professor Tracy gives
tables which appear to prove that
Southern-grown leguminous and other
plants are superior to those grown in
the North and West All of his sam
pies were, however, grown at the Miss
issippi Experiment Station, and his
conclusions need confirma ton based
upon material collected from other
places. The only other authoritative
statement on this subject that I have
seen is one from the Texas Station.
This station found less albuminoids
and fats in corn grown in New York

bama, only about fifty pounds per an
mum.
There is reason to believe that the
South is making rapid progress in
dairying, but it is still producing a
very small part of what it ought 10
produce to supply the present and the
probable future demands of it's own
people. There is a great deal of room
for COWS in the South. She should be
twice as numerous as she is, and will
be when all learn to love milk and
butter as we should. We are all well
aware that the cheese product of the
South is very small compared with
that of the North and the West. We
import a good deal of cheese which
Virginia, Tennessee and the mountain
sections generally. These facts teach
us that there is great future for the
dairy industry in the South; it is
hardly out of it's infancy today. This
is, as [ conveive it, one of the great
needs of Southern agriculture. The
cow is one of the best factories that
the farmer can have. She consumes
all of his cheaper and coarser forage,
vegetables and grains, and if properly
handled will make them into a prod
uct which is always in good demand.
Dairy experts in the northwest esti-
mate that a pound of butter can be
made there for fifteen cents. Surely
with out longer growing seasons and
cheaper labor, we can make it at the
same or less cost. There are very few
places in the South where nice sweet
butter will not bring twenty cents
pound the year round. Where can
the farmer get handsomer profit
than this?
In order to produce meat, milk and
butter more economically, there is
need that the Southern farmer should
study his grass and forage resources
more carefully than he has ever done
in the past It is certainly remarka~
BILE that in the South, the natural
home of so many valuable grasses, 50
little attention has been paid to their
cultivation and use. Our Southern
territory has many indigenous grasses
which are more highly appreciated
and made better use of in other sec
tions than in the country where the
Creator planted them and intended,
evidently, that they should always
thrive. Under the old system Of farm
ing, which has recently been SO we'll
discussed in this magazine by can old
time Virginian," the farmer spent most
of the crop season in killing grasses
instead of cultivating them. He knows
now that many varieties that he used
TO fight are his best friends, and
would, if given chance, make val
liable pasture or hay. Even the we'll
known "crab grass" or "crop grass"
