butterfat annually to pay the
the average price for the fat and
not lose money on the operation.
From records kept b. herds on
Mississippi farms we find that
the average Mississippi cow will
pro due &c approximately lac
pounds of fat a year. When we
bring the above two facts to-
gether we would say that it re-
quired at least 700 average Mis-
sissippi cows to support a cream
cry on a sound business basis.
The first thing that should be
done in such a section is to get
in touch with the Extension
Dairy officials at the Agricultural
College and solicit their assist
ance in helping to determine the
needs of your community. Take
thorough census Of the COW
populotion Of the community.
Beef cows should not be counted
and promises to buy. if counted
at all, should be discounted rs
percent.
Most sections of Mississippi
are in. shipping distance of a
creamery or milk market and by
getting the farmers in your
community to patronize the mar
ket already established will be
the best way to build up the COW
population and the dairy business
to that degree that it will sup
port a local creamery. A number
of small plants are more desira-
BILE than a few large ones and as
last as the local communities de-
velop the dairy business to the
extent of being able to support a
creamery successfully they
should be put in. But until this
amount of development has taken
place the plant should not be
erected. One creamery failure
will do more to retard the de-
velopment ct the dairy industry
than three successful ones will
do to build it up. The check re-
ceived by the farmers and not a
local creamery, is Of prime i'm
portance. L. A. Higgins, Agri-
cultural College, Miss.

Bigger Profits Await
Cattle-Feeding Farmers

While Mississippi is fast turn
ing to beef cattle as a partial
substitute for cotton and as a
means of utilizing otherwise
waste land by grazing, still the
farmers are not getting all there
is in the business so long as the
cattle are shipped off grass with
out finishing them in the feed
lots. The primary advantages
of beef cattle on the farm are to
utilize more grazing lands. fur
nish a market for feed raised,
more especially the roughage of
the farm, and as a means OF
building up the farm by having
the manure returned to the soil.
Only the first of these three inn
portant advantages is now fully
utilized. The cattle are now
generally shipped off grass for
slaughter or for use in northern
farmers feed lots. Instead OF
selling steers from the pasture
and selling hay at the same time
farmers will find it a safer and
sounder policy to feed their cattle.
Hay, silage, slower, or other
roughage can be cashed in
through cattle for just as much q
ton as they now bring On the mar
ket. In addition, the farmer is
saved the labor of hauling and,
most important of all, can return
the fertility to the land.
Now is the time to prepare for
next winters feeding by plan
ming the farm layout to include
plenty of soy beans, coWpeas,
and velvet beans in the corn as
well as special fields for grass,
1egume hay, to take the place of
high priced cottonseed meal, and
other feeding materials. Il. w.

Cows as Necessary TO Creameries
as Trees to a Saw Mill


Cows before creameries" is
the motto that means success in
the establishment Of creameries
anywhere.
Mississippi is now setting the
pace in a dairy development for
the south. Fifteen creameries
are in successful operation, but
every one of these has been re-
ceiving, from it's beginning, the
cream from several hundred
COWS.
In their efforts to be of service
to the farmer, and indirectly to
themselves, the business men of
a number of towns over the state
are now talking of establishing
creameries as a means of furnish
ing a market for the farm pro-
ducts through the dairy COW. In
most cases these men have not
taken time to thoroughly in
vestigate the requirements for
the successful operation of a
creamery. Neither have they
made a thorough investigation OF
the conditions in their local CON-
munity as to the possibilities OF
getting the farmers to produce
the butter fat. They consider
the small amount of cash neces-
sary to equip a plant the one i'm
portant factor in establishing a
tcreamery, but do not consider
where the one important factor
lbutterfat) is coming from.
Yet these same business men
would not consider fol- a minute
establishing a bank in an I'M
populated district nor a saw mil
in the middle of a treeless
prairie. Productive dairy cows
are to the creamery what the
the timbered forest is to the saw
mill. A sufficient number OF
these productive dairy cows are
lacking in most if not all the
communities where the establish
ment of a creamery is being talk
ed. A creamery cannot operate
on talk, water, nor on money
alone. 1t requires lots of butter
fat and good business judgment
to support a creamery on a pro
fitable basis.
From figures collected by the
u. S. Dairy Division on Southern
creameries in operation TIVE
years ago, we find that the
average creamery must handle
from rs, 600 to 100. 600 pounds o.

Teach Children Right Way

The average man is naturally
pessimistic, or inclined that way,
and is apt to spend more time
and effort finding fault with
things as they are, and trying to
tear them down, than to correct
ing them, or substituting better
things.
This comes from, or is largely
due to, the prevailing habit. of
teaching children and young peo-
pie to avoid doing wrong rather
than teaching them to do right.
In this way they become i'm
pressed with the immensely of
wrong and the littleness Of. Fright
that they grow up with a feeling
that wrong has gotten the better
of right.
The natural conclusion mus
then be that we are going to the
everlasting bow-wows, and the
very best we can do is to put the
brakes on and go as slowly as
possible.
And yet every one of us ought
to know, and and should realize,
that the way to get rid of wrong
is to substitute right, for wrong
disappears before right as dark
ness before light, or cold abefore
heat.
Where wrong is, right is not;
and where right is, wrong Ecan-
not come.
Right can never become wrong,
no more than love can become
hate. Erasmus Wilson, in the
Pittsburg Gazette Times.
