Attention
FarmerS---.,.--,,,,....

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months in
the year consuming what you
raise during the other six
months2
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. If you are stock raiser
you know your stock are now
eating their heads off" and,
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by
expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination of both
flesh-forming and fat-forming
foods in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida 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 ma
terials known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general farm
ing, fruit and berry growing
and truck gardening along our
road in the South than i'll any
other section of the Union.

sire further information on the
