(Pepaired IN the Dairy Davisioa ol

dustry.)

The present depression In the cot
ton market has led the farmers t
consider the advisability Of growing
other crops than cotton. This Is .
good time to change from the one
crop system to diversified agricul.
ture, and many are seeking informa.
ton in regard to the possibilities o1
dairying, especially the establish
ment Of creameries. Prosperity has
come to many agricultural commune
ties by the successful operation OF
creameries, out, on the other hand.
many farmers have lost money by in
vesting In creameries Of expensive
equipment in localities not prepared
to operate creamery successfully.
Conditions Essential to Success.
The main requirement for the sue
cess Of the creamery is q sufficient
supply Of milk or cream: IN insult
cient supply means failure Of the
creamery and loss to all concerned.
Experience has proved that about
600 southern cows are necessary to
furnish cream enough to operate q
creamery economically. The num-
Der of available cows in Z communi-
ty is generally overestimated. II
whole milk is to be handled 1t Is not
advisable to include in this estimate
herds at greater distance than S
miles from the creamery. II cream
is handled. herds 10 miles from the
creamery can be included. A cream
cry must make at least an average
of 1900 mounds Of butter \ week

MAN POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS
FAILURE, SAYS o. sTRALss.
Women Would Not Make Mess OF
Government Like Mon, He
Tells Newc0mbettes.

New Orleans, Jan. 12.-With mar
summed up as political and re.
ligious failure" Oscar Strouse, New
York philanthropist. peace advocate
and erstwhile diplomat Tuesday
tunred to women as the hope of the
future In f1attering address made
to the student body of Newcomb col
lege.
Women, he said, would not make
the mess Of government like men
have. He advocated that women be
placed on mans political plane at
once.
Mr.. Straus drew his conclusions
on the present state Of affairs from
the war in Europe. In 1t he sees
the great wallacy Of modern civiliza-
tion. its insincerity and its futility.
The war shows that the peace
advocates had greater vision than
the .militarists," said Mr.. Straus.
THE peace advocates have been
striving to prevent such a war for
years, while military leaders and dip
lomats have been rushing into it,
International wars, he asserted,
invariably were without justification
because seldom were real moral is
sues involved. Almost always dis
putes between nations could be set
tied and should be settled by arbi-
tration.
With the American revolution and
the war between the states, he de-
clared. the question was a different
one. Moral issues and real imports,
In both cases were there and had tc
be settled perhaps with the resort Of
arms. Both furnished much need
ed house-cleaning.
In the, event of peace in hte pres
ent European struggle Mr.. Straus
sees one of two great principles tri-
umphant. Either the principle that
might makes right or that of the full
ilment of the obligations Of nations
will prevail.
He advocated the universal al
lance of nations" to end war, or
It least basis for universal peace. 1
