and marketing, and when a conclusion
is reached, such measures as may be
helpful will ~beadopted and any furth-
er requisite measures for increasing
production and lettering distribution
will unquestionably be supported by
the authorities.
Certain things, however, are now
clear and definite measures for in
creasing the meat supply are being
taken and can be taken with GER
tainty.
1t is clear that we have been con
sidering the meat supply of the ma
tiontion too exclusively in terms OF
the big ranch and of the large animals.
Obviously it is important that we
should continue to help the cattleman
and to develop the ranch, and no pains
will be spared to do this. The gov
eminent is now spending money to
develop the livestock industry in con
nection with the reclamation projects,
and the Department is saking for
more. 1t is attacking the problem Of
overstocking and overgrazing on the
range and in the national forests which
furnish pasture for over 1,60O. 900
sheep and goats. 1t is demonstrating
that under systematic management
the grazing value of land can be re-
stored and increased and a produce
heavier animals even with an increas-
ed number, and that under proper
management the range can be I'M
proved faster in use than in idleness.
But unquestionably the largest hope
for a considerable increase in our
meat supply lies in three other direc-
ttons: First, in systematic attention to
the production of larger animals in
the settled farming areas of the coun-
try, especially in the South. Second.
in increasing attention to the smaller
animals, such as swine and poultry,
and third in the control and eradica-
ton of cattle ticks and hog cholera.
There is no question that the aver
age farmer in the settled areas of the
nation generally can produce a great
er number of the larger animals, prin-
c1pally as ~by-products, to the better
ment of his farm economy, and with
out great increase in expense, and
that the farmer in the South in this
respect enjoys unusual opportunities.
And it is further apparent that the
farmers everywhere in the existing
state of knowledge can largely in
crease the supply of swine and poul-
try products which constitute a large
and increasing part of the consump-
ton of the average family, the annual
value of the latter alone ~aggregating
half a billion dollars, or so per cent
of the aggregate value of the cotton
produced in the nation. The last
census shows a lamentable neglect of
livestock in the South. While the
average Iowa farm has six mich COWS.
in North Carolina and Alabama it has
less than two, and in South Carolina
one. While the average Iowa farm
has 35 hogs, in North Carolina and
Alabama, it has less than 5, South Car
DINA less than 4. And while the aver
age farm in Iowa has more than 1903
poultry, in North Carolina and Ala
bama, it has less than IL. A we'll
trained investigator has recently said
that the average farm home in Georgia
Western Carolina Democrat and French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1913-1915, 1914-11-26

produces less than 2 eggs a week, less
than two-thirds of an ounce of butter,
and two-thirds of a pint of milk a day,
and one-third of a hog, one-twelfth of
a beef, and one-one hundredth of a
sheep per yeas per person, and that
the cotton crop of the State does not
even approximately pay it's food and
feed bill. No Southern state is giving
the requisite attention either to the
production of foodStuffs for human be-
ings or for livestock. A conservative
estimate indicates that Texas imports
from other states annually more than
$50, 900, 900 worth of wheat. corn and
oats; George more than $24, 900 900;
South Carolina more than $40, 900 900;
and IL southern states more than
$175, 600, 900 and $48,0 600, 900 worth OF
meats. dairy and poultry products. 1t
may be Admitted that most of these
States should not undertake the pro-
ruction of these commodities for for
eign or interstate shipment in compe-
tition with the great States of the
Middle West, but every student must
recognize the unwisdom of their fail
ure to produce enough of these things
for the consumption of their people
and for the laying of the foundation
of a prosperous livestock develop
ment,
Too exclusive devotion to a single
crop anywhere is unwise in normal
times, and is d peril in times of ds-
, turbance. 1t is bound to produce just
such a catastrophe as has befallen the
South in the present emergency. It
prevents the full utilization of land
and labor, fails to fill the gaps in the
work schedules, and furnishes no re-
serve.
Within the year Congress has n
acted a measure of even vaster signifi-
canoe and greater consequence. l re-
ter in the Smith-Lever extension bill,
which, in my Judgment, is one of the
most significant educational meaus-
ures ever adopted by any government.
1t recognizes a new class of pupils
class composed of men and women
working as their daily tasks on the
farm. The government takes the adult
farmer and farm as we'll as
the farm boy girl, as it's pupils.
1t provides for an expenditure of over
$4,000, 900, partly by the states. 1t in
corporates the most efficient method
Of conveying information to the farm
er, and through the healthful process
Of cooperation between the State and
the nation, places the brains of these
two great agencies at his disposal, in
sUres efficiency, and eliminates waste
and friction. l yield to no man my
appreciation of the value of scientific
investigation and research, but 1 am
convinced that the great task CON
fronting us now for the betternent Of
agriculture is to bring to the average
farmer what the experts and the best
farmers know and to induce them to
apply it. If we could secure this we
should revolutionize agriculture, and
this is the object of the Smith-Lever
bill. 1t aims to reach the farmer by
personal contact, and above all to
bring assistance to the farm woman
who has been too long neglected as a
factor in the agricultural life of the
nation.

The office of Markets, although only

The Office of Markets, although only
recently created and necessarily re-
curing time for the consideration of
it's projects and especially for the Sc
curing of an efficient staff of experts,
has conducted Investigations in a
great variety of directions, furnished
rlTch information to those seeking it
and it will at no distant day extend
aid through bulletins and as rapidly
a.5 possible through demonstration.
1t is investigating the proper meth
DDS of grading and s~tandardizion,
packing and shipping, the marketing
of special products, transportation and
storage problems, city marketing and
distribution, including farmers mu-
nicipal wholesale and retail market
houses, the direct dealings between
producers and consumers, and coop
eTatiVe production and handling of
products. 1t is giving special atten-
ton to such details as dockage in the
sale of grains, and to the methods and
practices of large terminal markets in
the practice of mixing.
Intimately involved in both the pro-
duction and distribution of products is
the matter of good roads. Good roads
are prerequisite not only to economi-
cal production and distribution but
also to the furtherance of the ed
ucational, social and sanitary life of
the farming districts. The great need
is for roads which shall get produces
from the farm to the nearest railway
station and enable the farmer to haul
when he cannot be busy about lis
sowing and reaping, and to haul at a
lower rate. The railway will continue
for an indefinite time to be the nation
al highway. The emphasis is needed
On the community road. 1t is estimat-
ed that it costs % cents per ton mile
to haul under existing conditions on
the country road, and that his could
be reduced by half if the roads were
improved. The question is one partly,
of course, of or of funds, but
even more largely Of methods, of in
strumentalities and of administration.
The nation today is spending annually
the equivalent of more than $500, 0O0,-
600 for roads, an enormous increase in
the last decade. Much of this is di-
rected by local supervisors and it is
estimated by experts that of the
amount so directed anywhere from 80
to 40 per cent is, relatively speaking,
wasted or misdirected.
The Government recognizes as well
the broader aspect of rural life. 1t
knows that the genius for organiza
ton which has done so much for in
dustry in the nation can be brought
to prevail in the sphere of rural life
and Of agriculture. Extreme individ-
Ialism in agriculture has had it's day.
There can be no question that the key
to the solution of many of the prob
lens of rural life will be found in
some form of concerted action or of
cooperation. Some form of organiza-
ton is as inevitable as it is desirable.
without it the farmer cannot have adj
equate schools or social life; without
it he cannot secure good roads: stand
ardize his products or economically
market them; without it he cannot
have the proper health facilities or lay
the credit foundations which will en-

The only sure way to get rid Of dan
druff is to dissolve 1t, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this. get about four
ounces Of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring: use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub 1t in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most
IL not all of your dandruff will be gone.
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of 1t. no
matter how much dandrun you have.
You will find. too, that all itching and
digging Of the scalp will stop at once.
and your hair will be fluffy. lustrous.
glossy, silky and soft. and look and feel
hundred times better.
IL you want to preserve your hair, do
by all means get rid Of dandrufY, for
nothing destroys the hair more quickly.
1t not only starves the hair and makes
it fall out. but it makes 1t stringy.
straggly. dull. dry. brittle and lifeless.
and everyone notices 1t. You can get
