vision that the tenant shall feed the
COW and put the manure on the farm.
There is sound reason in that Sup
pose the land owner buys a S35 COW
and the manure from that COW IS
worth $40 when applied to the land,
has he not made a very fine invest
ment, one that is capable of return
ing to the landlord near 100 per cent
each year" Besides, he has minis
tered to the health happiness and
Contentment of his tenants and in
creased their efficiency on the farm.
More Cows Needed.
The attention of Mr.. Price was
forcibly called to the lack of cows
among the farm tenant class by an
account of a physician who called to
see a sick child of a farm tenant in
the country and prescribed COW milk
for its use. The tenant had to go
10 miles to find the COW and get the
milk Perhaps such conditions do not
prevail to any great extent in Geor-
gia, but that there is great def
cheney in cattle. per farm tenant
there is rot the least doubt. To fol-
low the suggestion of Mr.. Price
would work wonders in the State
The cattle tick, which has stood In
the way of cattle growing in the
South, is not a serious hindranCe.
Many cattle growers in the South
have taken simple precautions, have
entirely eliminated il as a depreciat-
ing factor and have had remarkable
success.
The two other greatest essentials
are the use Of the Silo for economical
feeding Of rOughage and the feeding
of cotton seed meal as a concentrate.
In both of these the South has dis

the country. The roughage can be
raised in greater variety and with
greater economy on the farm than
elsewhere; the cotton seed meal, Of
course, is at hand Add to these the
long grazing season attending the
long growing season of the South ana
the sum is unsurpassed advantages
for economical cattle feeding.
Marketing Great Factor.
Until the cattle business in the
South has negotiated the market and
the net cash is rung up. of course,
full reckoning Of advantages or dis
advantages is not complete. While
the South has not established a great
cattle market II has been prepared to
take care of all the cattle offered at
reasonably good prices. In this re-
spect the South viii improve as cattle
growing increases. when the farmer
has learned how to put his cattle in
prime market condition and when the
railroads are offered sufficient ship
pings TO guarantee the most eConOmi-
cal handling
Turning 10 the Chicago or the sx-
port market, some Southern cattle
raisers manage to make fair profits
even with slow shipping service and
excessive shrinkage in consequence.
The packing and marketing is NOT a
serious obstacle i'm the way Of beef
production in the South, even now,
and with the increase of live stock

on the dairy side a vast amount Of
business is at hand. The Southern

Southern demand and he is further
from il to-day than ever. Although

Southern dairy business is not keep

the most economical concentrated
feed that it is possible for the South
crn farmer to use. For years the
Northern and Western farmers have
been buying cotton seed meal of the
South and finding it more economical
to feed than corn in the corn belt"
or other grain food where a variety
of grain abOunds. With no freight
and only the cost of getting it from
the local mill, the Southern farmer is
certainly at great advantage in using
cotton seed meal as a food for cattle.
But an astonishing fact is that
very few farmers of the South are
using cotton seed meal as a food for
cattle. They are buying grain and
bran from the corn and grain coun-
try of the Central North and West.
In recent years, however, the South
ern farmer has been induced to use
more and more cotton seed meal for
cattle. More and more will follow
until the revolution is complete The
trouble with the Southern farmer
has been that he did not believe cot
ton seed meal was good for cattle,
because he had tried it with bad eff
feet, and he quit trying He did not
know how to feed it. and it is harder
to get the Southern farmer to take
1t up because of his prejudice Not
so the Northern or Western farmer,
who, not knowing how to feed It.,
learned the right way at the outset,
and has never had anything but the
best results.
The larger use Of cotton seed meal
by the Southern farmer for stock
growing purposes is, therefore, a mat
ter of education. Not only do the
agricultural educators and leaders
realize this and devote themselves
assiduously to it, but the cotton seed
mill interests, which have a mon
etary consideration, are sparing no
effort to educate the Southern farm
er not only to the use of cotton seed
meal but to the advantages of cat
tie raising in the South
Save Organic Matter
Revcrting to values of organic mat
ter when put within the soil, the
manure produced from feeding cotton
seed meal is high i'm valuable fertf-
izing content. Here is another strong
argument i'm favor Of feeding vege-
table matter on the farm rather than
selling il off. Enough organic mat
ter goes away from Southern soil in
the form of cotton fiber never to re-
turn not to throw the meal away
after it.
Indeed, the South must guard with
jealous care all the organic matter
which agriculture has Coaxed from
the SOIL seeing TO it that as much is
returned as possible i'm harmony with
good farm practice, until the great
loss of the South in this regard is
rcCuuped.
Il has been estimated that the ma
nurc of horse or mule has a plant
food content worth $27 in a year that
of COW 500, a hog IS and sheep

only a part Of the value The hui
mus il contains, which is in form
most available for bacterial develop
ment, starts fertilizing processes far
beyond these figures.

houses. covering acres Of ground, With

alone in the minds of the people, but
any number of them are scattered

fornia, where thousands upon thou
sands of chickens. ducks and turkeys
are raised annually upon a single
farm. Some of these are operated
solely for the purpose OF raising
