SMALL FARMER CAN RAISE
PRIZE WINNING ANIMALS

Not long since we ran across the
very interesting story of an Indiana
hired man who had saved up a few
hundred dollars. which he invested in
a registered Belgian mare. This
mare proved to be an exceptionally
good brood mare, and two of her
at state fairs. She paid back her cost
several times over in the run of a
few years and gave that hired man
the satisfaction of standing along
with the most successful breeders of
his state. The secretary of the Per-
cheron Association of America writes
US that the first prize two-year-old
stallion at the Iowa State Fair this
year was bred by a man who keeps
only four or five mares and does his
farm work with them. Numerous
other prizes have been won in Iowa
and other states by men who own
only two or ten mares and are gen.
eral farmers, and not breeders only.
The same thing is true with all breeds
of live stock.
Juts as good animals can be pro-
duced on a small farm as on a great
estate. 1t IS only a question of hav-
ing the right kind of foundation
stock, of giving them the proper
care. and then of acquiring the
knowledge of how to mate them so as
to intensity their good qualities and
correct their defects. This knowl-
edge seems to be instructive with
some great breeders, but it can be
acquired to a certain extent by any
man who knows stock and is willing
to make a study of his animals and
their individual traits and breeding.

OPERA STAR AT COLLEGE.

Miss Cyrena Van Gordon, prima

She was greeted by an appreciative
audience. A finished musician of
Grenada is quoted as saying that
Miss Van Gordon possessed the most
cultured voice that is to be heard
outside of Grand Opera. In all she
sang twelve songs, and pleased the

SHALL THE SOUTH
SUFFER FOR FOOD?
Startling Facts Disclosed By the I'm
minence of War.

To the Committee of Public Safety.
We call your attention to the ca
lamity which threatens the South.
IN wal the problem is one not
solely OF men and munitions, but of
food supply. The South can furnish
men and, to a certain extent NUM-
tons, but in the matter food supply
we are helpless, unless there is a
heav yincrease of food crops at once.
We do not ever feed ourselves. As
matters now stand, we are fed from
the hog pens and the stock farms and
the granaries of the West. MANY
people in the South have felt it nee
essary to deny this or gloss it over.
This may be all very we'll in times of
peace, but when this war comes the
truth will be exposed. We will be
face to face with absolute want.
Not only will be unable to furnish
food for the armies, but we will be
unable to feed our people at home.
We will ebcome a burden upon the
Nation, because the Nation will find
it necessary to supply us with some
thing to eat.
1t has been estimated that $780,
100000 of food stuffs, including
animal products, are brought into
the South each year in addition to
what we, ourselves, produce. When
all this food is needed for the armies
and for the civilian population in 9th
er sectinos of the country, to say
nothing of the exports to Europe.
how are we to be fed? There is but
n answer to this question. We
must take immediate steps to produce
upon our own farms something thai
will support man and beast. or we
shall suffer. This issue can be
avoided no longer. We must face i
and face it at once.
Every we'll informed man know.
that food is scarce the world over
and food crops under these condi
tons are sure to bring high prices

KANSAS HAS A NEW WHEAT.

The average yield for this selection

been a0.7 bushels. as compared with
PCS bushels for the Turkey wheat

over 10 per cent. II therefore produc-

This improved variety appears, from

It therefore winter kills less and pro-
duces correspondingly great yields in
seasons when there has been consider
