Why the South Ought TO BE
A Livestock Country.

The South ought to be a live
stock country, because:
/. A crop of cowpeas, soy
beans, peanuts, or lespedeza tall
legumes) may BE- grown the
same season after an oat crop IS
harvested. There is no better
feed than oats, and cowpeas and
.lespedeza are the equal of red
clover as hav producers: while
peanuts and soy beans will pro-
duce as much feed concentrates
as any crop grown here or else
where.
2. A soil made rich by the
growing of Iegumes and livestock
farming will make as much corn
or silage per acre as in the Corn
Belt, and the same season pro-
duce a crop of crimson clover
equal in feeding value to a crop
of red clover.
3. Our climate conditions
make US a cotton producing
country. One of the by pro-
ducts Of the cotton crop is cot
tonseed meal, the cheapest pro.
TEN feed known. The South
produces 45O,OO0,000 bushels OF
cottonseed annually, which pound
for pound is superior to corn in
feeding value. If the South
could not have produced cotton
she would have grown livestock
just as other sections have turn.
ed to live stock, where one-crop
systems depleted their soils and
forced them to do so.
The South must grow live.
stock, because while it is posi-
BILE to build up soil fertility with
out feeding livestock, it is not
GENERALLY done, and cannot be
don as economically as by feed
ing the legumes. VIII ich must be
grown to build up the fertility,
to good livestock.
The need of the South is for
men who will study livestock
raising as a part of their gen,
eral farming system, for there
is no reason why the South can
not or does not grow livestock
more profitably than any other
section, exceptsthat we have not
the men with either the inclina-
ton or information to do so. The

A Letter From Texas.

DEAR ERA-LEADER:
Today I have read the paper

treat to the fellow who is so far
away from his home. 1t is with
pleasure that I note the happen
ings of Washington Parish each
week, and am pleased to see
signs Of improvements in many
respects.

months, and have enjoyed every
day of it only when a "Norther'.
was on or the rain was falling.
Perhaps the term "Norther"
needs explanation to those of you
who have not been in this Sec
ton of Texas, in order for you
to understand why can't enjoy
some certain days. Perhaps
some of the preacher boys start
to town happy and without any
overcoat, but suddenly the wind
begins to blow at a gale from
the north. Well, within an hour,
sometimes less, you can hardly
walk against it. You must hold
your hat with one hand and use
the other for a kind of oar to
help pull against the current
You may think this isn't true,
but come over and see.
After "a rain, if you walk, the
mud sticks to your shoes as long
as is possible; then some more.
1t can be removed by scraping
and washing. ct. Worth is 10.

AT the close Of the first year of active work the

good record indeed and has become indispensable
factor in the growth and well being Of this city. It's
activities have bseh spread astonishing field Of
eRdeavor, and 1T has added dignity and pose to the
commerciaiBm Of our city
An organization of this kind operates only through
public confidence, and it's stimulating influence can
only be felt when its members rally TO its support and
stand by the wishes OF majority of the membership.
There is real method OF calculating the benefit
this organization has conferred upon the people Of
Anderson yet no one will dispute the fact that that
benefit has been great and will be greater
The public spiritness of people bears direct and
and it is only through cooperation that city
ton among cities. The city, therefore, that is forget
fui of commercial organization development and its
values cannot hope to permanently succeed.

the heads Of the var'rs commitees the committeeman
apd the general inca oersp for the interest they have
uniformly displayed, must pass by the sacrifices
from business made by the directors in attending

fellow directors have been extremely loyal and pains

except to very limited extent in doing any of tfseae

Holding Companies not only bring to cities variety Of
small factories but they are, themselves, good invest

thereof. Such corporation should have capital of
not less than $780, co. and ST. OOO if possible
