(By w. D. Mitchell Kentucky College
of Agricultural
No section in the country holds out
as promising opportunities for profit
In dairying as do the southern states.
A very large percentage of the dairy
products consumed in the South are
| shipped in from northern states, where
the opportunity for economical produc-
ton is not nearly so good as that in
the South. Thus in Wisconsin the
winter season is long and severe and
the summer growing season is short.
Expensive barns are not needed and
two crops can be grown upon the land
In one season. This is tremendous
advantage which is appreciated by
those experienced in the dairy bust
ness
Feeds for dairy cattle can be pro-
duced very cheaply in the South Cow
peas and soy beans furnish an excel
lent and nutritious supply of hay,
while corn silage can be grown in
large amounts and can be profitably
fed both winter and summer.
The large local supply of cottonseed
meal furnishes an abundant supply of
protein, the element so necessary in
the production of milk
The South needs live stock and
dairying to restore her tired and worn
out soils. Dairying encourages the ro-
tation of crops, and crop rotation Is
the backbone Of any system of soil
maintenance. In nearly all the south
ern states are examples Of farms that
have been brought back to high
state of productiveness by The grow
ing of legume hay crops and the rails.
ing of live stock.
Where pastures are inadequate the
summer silo will prove thoroughly
practical and very profitable. Soiling
crops can also be used to splendid ad-
vantage. The raising of hogs fits in
splendidly with a system of dairy man.
agement in the South
The southern farmer should not de- |
pend upon dairying entirely for his in I
come. In nearly all cases it is much |
better plan to secure at least one-half |
of the farm income by the growing OF
money crops, such as cotton and to-
bacco. These crops may be made to
go hand in hand with the production
of dairy products. dairy stock and 9th
er stock.
The southern states should cease to
be importers Of dairy and meat prod
ucts. These should be raised at home.
In time there is no reason why the
South should not only produce all of
the dairy products consumed at home
but should actually export dairy prod
ucts.' This will be done when thou
sands of southern farmers add to their
farms few dairy cows.
The plan above recommended will
mean a decided change in the present
system of farming in the South. The
change should be made gradually and
business judgment should
be used Along with this change will
come prosperity. Southern expert
ment stations all maintain depart

with plenty of freedom. A strip Is
nailed from one of these posts to the
other, just under one of the gate strips,
as shown in the illustration, so that
the gate will slide on this when the
other end Is raised. Another strip
may be nailed above the gate strip to
keep hogs from lifting the gate SO cas-
lily. The other end of the gate is Sc
cured by a wooden catch to a single
post. The gate is opened out as far
as it will and then slid back between
the two posts until the upright strips
stop it. If properly adjusted it will
get entirely out of the way of the
opening.

When Statesmen Agree.

In New York on Thursday George w. Perkins,
onetime angel OF the late Bull Moose party testi-
fed before the Industrial Relations Commission:
For every ounce of trouble brought about in in
dustry through the sefshness and cupidity OF bust
ness men, pound of trouble has been brought
about through half-baked laws and muttonhead
legislation Our legislators have not even possessed
hindsight and they have been veritable babes in
foresight = > 1t is my deliberate judgment that
at the present moment our industrial depression,
unemployment etc, are almost wholly due to the
defects and maladjustments of Federal laws and
administration"
Speaking on Founders Day at the Indiana Uni
versity, former President Taft said: The hostility
of legislatures and Congress, consciously or un-
consciously, has to be directed against all
successful investment OF capital without discrim-
nation. The inquiSitorial and nagging character
of the powers of commissions, created for the
close supervision of corporate activities, have so
frightened capital as to shrink investments and
stop the normal expansion in the business of the
country. The sad feature of such excess of rem
edy, however well intended. is that the persons
who suffer most the least able to bear suffer
1ng-the wage earners, whose comfort and diving
are dependent upon constant employment" 4
President Wilson, in his address to Congress
at the opening of the session, promised the coun-
try rest from business legislation, so it is safe

nizes its need OF II. Though he could not be ex-

The petition of the business men whose cstab-

Office Department where the city postoffice was
formerly established that adequate postal facili-
ties be provided for them is entitled TO full con-
sideration The need of this section of the city
for a we'll equipped branch Office, where every
class of postofhce business may be transacted. is
obvious. A large number of important mercan-
tile establishments are situated near the former
site of the postofice and no reason is apparent
why they should be compelled to depend on the
main postofice in its present remote location for
their everyday transactions connected with the
mail service. The new postofice is convenient to
the Union Station, but far removed from most
of the ctys business activity and it was probably
never contemplated that the bulk of the public
business would be transacted there. Adequate
branches should be established at several points
in the city The postal service is said to be self
sustaining and its patrons have right to expect
accommodations at least equal to those furnished
b the public utility corporations.

At present it offers premium to husbands and
wives who live apart and provides for the taxation

prefers that the work OF correcting the laws dc
