There are hundreds of
farmers throughout the South,
each OF whom could add a 15-cow
dairy to his farm, and could,
besides, in a short while, easily
produce more of other crops than
he is producing at present.
Dairylng is undeveloped in the
Southeastern States, largely be.
cause the farmers of that section
do not understand how to make
it profitable Z
1T is not the purpose of this
letter to give detailed advice as
to the management of a dairy
farm, or of a dairy herd in con.
nection with general farming,
but rather to call attention to
the opportunities in this direction
in broad way, and to suggest
to each farmer that he should
give careful consideration to the
extent to which it may be profit
able for him to carry on this
business. The man embarking
upon it should make a thorough
study of all the details of the
business, including the selection
of the animals to constitute his
herd, the character of feed,
proper herd management, the
proper handling and marketing
of dairy products, suitable
cropping systems, effective
methods of caring for and
applying manure, and all other
like factors Of Importance"
"One of the essentials of profit.
able dairying is the self.e evident
proposition that the dairy herd
must be made up of good animals.
DR.. A. D. Melvin, Chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry in
the United States Department of
Agriculture, has said that the
low average production of the
dairy COWS of the United States
is a condition that does more
than any other one thing to
prevent development and to
render dairying Improbable.
The experience of practical
dairymen and careful expert.
ments that have been conducted
demonstrate that with good cows
and good management, dairy
farming is one of the most profit.
able types of stock farming; and
with poor COWS and Indifferent
management, there is no money
in dairying. Some interesting
Investigations made by the
agricultural experiment station
of the University of Tennessee,
the results of which were pub.
lished in March. 1909, emphasized
the Importance of good cows.
It was shown that there is a
vast difference in animals kept
and fed under similar conditions.
In these Investigations individ-
ual records for a year were kept
of cows in twelve herds. The
best o. these cows showed a net
profit of $50, 80. while the poorest
showed a loss of $4.55.
If the productivity Of the soils
of the South is to be maintained
and increased, they must have
more manure, and the farmers
| of the South must produce it.
Experts in soil chemistry advise
that If the best results are to be
obtained from commercial ferti'
lizers they should be used in
combination with manure and
that, under scme conditions
larger amounts of commercial
fertilizer can be used advan'
tageoualy in combination with
manure than if used alone. Nc
other animal will produce manure
