Attention
Farmers.

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months
In the year consuming what
you raise during the other
six months?
Go South where you can
work out doors every month
in the year and where you
are producing something the
year round. If you are a
stock raiser you know your
stock are now "eating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the rig.
ors of winter by expensive
shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination Of
both flesh-forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro-
portions. Alabama and Flor
Ida produce in abundance the
velvet bean and cassava, the
first a flesh producer, and the
latter a fat producer, and
they are the cheapest and
best fattening material that
is known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gener-
al farming, fruit and berry
growing and truck gardening
along our road In the South
than In any other section of
the Union.
