not made as new discovery but urged
simply as well known, but greatly
overlooked fact.
The Crushers association, recogniz-
ing the value to the industry they rep
resent. of an increase in the number
of cattle raised in the South, have I'M
dertaken a propaganda of education in
cattle raising and are seeking to COM
'bine with the agricultural colleges
and large stock raisers for the pur-
pose of improving the grades and in
creasing the number of cattle in this

Archibald Smith of the live stock
department of the A. & M. college at
tended the meeting of the seed crush
ers association at Gulfport this week
where he spoke upon the seed Crush
ing business and the live stock In
dustry of Mississippi. The high price
of cotton seed meal was urged by
him as an excellent reason for farm
ers to keep the very best breeds of
cattle and the necessity for raising the
grades of all scrub or native cattle
by breeding to the very best animals.
1t is agreed that the improved breeds
take on flesh easier than common
stock hence high priced feed can bet
ter be fed to the better class of stock
than to the lower class.
Another feature that was brought
out at the Crushers Association was
that it is possible by careful handling
of cattle to feed them on Cotton seed
meal and after getting the benefit of
the meal as fat producer to obtain
fertilizer worth fully as much as the
