THE ADVANTAGES
hBE MADE MANIFEST
Dairying in South Can be Made
Far More Profitable Than
III the North.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. August 24.-B.
II. Rawl, expert on dairying, in charge
Of Southern Dairy Investigation for tho
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture, says that the South. as whole.
offers a profitable field for thu dairy
man, owing to the large demand and
high prices. I1e further says:
with the highly improved Southern
farms, the question Of cheap feed Is
settled, for there is probably no section
OF America that can produce cheaper
iced. Especially Is the great variety
Of legumes that thrive In tho South
cottonseed meal, settle the question Of
protein.
While very little attention has been
given to the development or the, South
sern pastures, 1t Is Demonstrated on
farms throughout the South that an
for at least eight months in the year
'.rhe old Southern plantation, with its
haphazard system, Is being, gradually
transformed into a well-organiZed and
diversified farm, and in the transforms
ton dairyilg promises to be one OF the
portion of.,the cotton farms, and eyer
if 1t is cbi7ductedHfn such a way that
the dairyhtselfg isatotoproti table, 1t VII
make fthe fnrn fertile and therefore
profitable in Eother lines.
stsWhile the Southern dairyman, there,
fore, will have somes8difiiculties thai
are not found in the Northern sections
of the country, he also has many ad-
vantages over the Northern daarynal
in the milder climate, cheaperIcos OF
buildings, the greater variety OF for.
age crops and good markets. The
South will always be great cottor
country, but it will some day be {
great dairy country. 81 *

MANY DIAMONDS

Possibility That Pike County

New York diamond expert, ut would
seem that some OF our diamonds will
be produced On American and not son
British soil"
The first locality in North America
where diamonds have been found in
placer, and not in river gravels or lla-
clal deposits lies about two and one
half miles southeast Of Murfreesboro,
the county seat of Pike county, Arkan-
sas.
About $50 diamonds have thus far
been found at the Murfreesboro lo-
cality. the weights varying from 1882
of carat up TO G1a carnrs, Most of
the stones are white, large proper
ton being Of good water and the white
OF exceptional purity, finer than most
African stones a smaller number are
brown, some yellow, and several small
individuals are Of bort. The mass is
now being examined with the diamond
