An Interesting Meeting Held at ST.

An interesting meeting Of the
S iuShern Clifton Asst citation was held
at St. Matthews last Friday, with

President W. n1amaker calle d on Mr.

much chance OF cott q going up unless

President Warnamaker said he was
glad to hear that Mr.. >Raysor was not

not been fer the meeting at New Or.

would not be as high as 1t is now. II
is only by standing together that the

she would show Ne how to make mon

then introduced Prof. Benson, fUrmer'

ment Of Agriculture. =,
Prof. Benson said that while he was
down here On other business, he was
glad to speak word to the meeting
On divers! fcation OF crops. which hs
thought was the true solution Of the
low price of cotton. He said while
the N NatioDal Agricultural Department
was in tbcrrugh sympathy aod accoro
with the SuuUnern Cotton Association
its work was along different lines. Il
was his business to go about trying tc
induce the fsrm6 rs to diversity theil
crops. The Professor made spen-
did speech, advising the farmers tt
plant grain and grasses and raise stocb
of all kinds. We wish every farmer
in Oraneeburg County could have
heard bis cxcslleut speech.
President Wannemaker then intro

unless the food and the animals are
both weighed, and unless another lot
of animals of tbs same quality, age,
size and condition, and kept and other
wise fed in the same manner, are
compared with those received the con-
6imental foods. fortunately, several
tests OF this sort have been made, and
while made by those whom the man
ufaoturers sneerlngly term Theoretical
feeders, are the only real practical
tests made OF the feeding value OF
these patent foods. Two tests have
been made at the Kansas Experiment
Station with dairy COWS with the fol-
lowing results:
For the first test, thirteen COWS
were divided into two lots as nearly
equal as possible, based on the yield
OF milk and butter fat for the precsd-
ing month. The two lots received
exactly the same kind and amount OF
feed, except that one lot was given
"Acme Stock Food" according to the
manufacturers directions. The re
suit Of a one month test was that the
buttec fat produced by the lot receiv-
ing the Stock Food" cost l4.6,, Per
pound; while the butter fat produced
by the lot receiving no cohdimental
food cost 12.3c. per pound.
The second test was with twenty
COWS divided into two lots, as In the
the first test, and ths result Of q two
months test was that the lot rec'iV-
ing "Glube Stock Food" produced
butter fat at cost Of 7c. per pound
more than the lot which received no
such food.
The Iowa Experiment Station also
made g test of the value Of these con-
dimentsl foods and several well known
concentrated feeding stutfs when add
ed to a corn ration for the fatten1ng
Of steers.
There were ten lots Of twenty-five
steers each, selected so as to make
