Disregarded Gloom.

Our troubles as they loom ahead
Seem terrible and great
And yet, with all that's done and said
We're living up-to-date.
The gloom that seemed to Turk amid
The forest old and gray
Fades, as we find the blossoms hid
Expectant of the May.
In vain the sorrowing prophet walls,
Our pleasures to refute.
Most every year the fruit crop fails
And yet there's always fruit.

cent history of beef production
shows that grain rather than
roughage has been regarded as
the primary component of the
ration for the growing of beef
cattle intended for the block.
With the present high land val
ues and corn prices, he says, the
problem formulates itself thus:
How can beef be produced on
lands and feeds that cannot be
used for anything else?
This means, says he, the more
thorough utilization of the avail
able pasture lands and that
roughage must occupy a more
prominent part of growing and
fattening rations.
Already, says the professor
beef breeding herds are shifting
from the grain sections to the
grass sections, where land is
cheap. So that ultimately beef
making with low priced feeds on
cheap land will be the order of
the day.
This statement we commend to
the consideration of those south
ern farmers who, on cheap lands,
can raise grass. southern cow
peas and other products fit for
the silo.
The south has cheap lands.
Lands in the south are cheaper
than anywhere else, if you take
transportation into consideration.
Moreover, the climate of the
south is better for cattle raising
than the climate in other Sec
tons. Stock does not need the
same attention, does not impera-

Our Opportunity to Help Raise Meat
Supply of the World.
In the diversification of agri-
culture lies the salvation of the
southern farmer. This is the
fact that is constantly forcing
itself upon the attention of all
observers and of all concerned in
the general prosperity of agri-
culture in the south.
Home and Farm has a direct
relation to this interest. 1t ex-
lists because it aims to promote
those influences that make
farming pay'' throughout the
southern States.
The south is the home of the
cotton plant. The southern peo-
pie understand cotton farming
better than they understand any
other farming; but to rest alone
upon one crop is precarious.
Moreover, there are certain Sec
tons of the south where one can
do better than raise cotton, and
even the cotton planters in many
sections can reduce the cost of
cotton by diversifcation of their
crops, by giving attention to
fruit and early vegetables, to
the poultry yard and all poultry
products, to the dairy and all
dairy products, and to livestock
in all of its relations.
Prof. William Hislop. of the
Ohio College of Agriculture, has
had something to say of late con-
corning beef production. which
has a direct application to south
ern conditions.
