To Promote Dairying.

The Times is in receipt of let
ter from Congressman \. i. Lever
relative to a bill which he has in
troduced TO prom )te the dairy in
dustry of the country. The bulk
of the appropriation carried by
this bill will be used i'm The South
for the purpose of putting dairy
expert IN ench OF the various
Southern States, whose business
1T Will be to cooperate with the
various State experiment stations
and the individual dairymen i'm
teaching the dairymen the best
methods of the business. This ex-
pert will visit tie individual dairy
man and give him the benefit of
the best experience as to herd Sc
lecting, bniIding of siios, barns.
etc. In other words, the expert is
to co-operat" with the experiment
stations in tenching the Southern
people the possibilities Of the
South for dairy purposes.
There is a decided scarcity of
well regulated dairies throughout
the South, and it is hoped That
Congressman Levers bill will
merl With favor in ccHsless.

that the annual appropriations to

now to about $4,000. Still Mr..
