FOOLISH PREJUDICE
AGAINST A GREAT
SOUTHERN FEED

Cottonseed meal, being rich il
protein, may be easily abused
but there is absolutely no evi.
dence, worthy the name, that il
ever caused garget, abortion or
shy breeding, when fed in reason
able quantities, three to four
pounds a day, with other suitable
feeds and In a ration having
proper variety and balance. 1t
will not cause constipation. unless
fed in large quantities with un-
suitable feeds. A ration having
proper variety must contain
silage, roots OR grass.
There is absolutely no reason
why every COW, in the dairy or
the breeding herds of the South.
should not get from two to four
pounds Of cottOnseel meal a day,
according to her needs and the
other feeds she is receiving, ex-
cept plain prejudice. The pen
atty we pay is found in the pur-
chase Of higher priced feeds.-

Moreover, since soil conservation
determines yields in large meas,
ure. each will be very directly
interested in saving the soil and
making it more fertile. We be-
lieve the landlord may well 60 20

in cash if a certain number of
bales or bushels or pounds of a
crop is grown, and then an addi-
tional bonus of say SIS for each
bale or each hundred pounds or
each so bushels above this
amount. Such a plan gets and
keeps the enthusiastic interest of
the tenant as few things can.
The Golden Rule will work in
business. and the farming business
is no exception. The tenant who
is given a chance. who sees some
thing ahead as a reward for his
labor, is bound to be a better
worker and a better man. 1t IS

In today's mail there came a

notation: I'm a woman with

band died a year ago. His sick
ness took what little we had
saved and put a mortgage on the

little, but how to earn that little

divide the children among orphan

How different the story might
have been if the husband had in
sured his life in some good COM
pany. Surely he would be hap
pier in heaven for his loved ones
being in want neither for food
nor fuel. Poor little woman,
precious. helpless little children |!
A few ready dollars and the
man s family could have food,
shelter and education. And all
this would have cost him but a
few dollars month while helived.
Every wife should urge her
husband to take out insurance.
She is not mercenary in doing
this. She is but seeking to as

MAKE A PARTNER OF THE
TENANT.

This matter Of right relations
between landlord and tenant is 6
problem that has had far too lit.
tie attention. In consequence
there Is too often a feeling of
mutual hostility. with both parties
and the land too standing as
losers. sI.-r d.
In the beginning, we give it as
our opinion that any rental sys-
tenn other than a share plan is un-
sound. ANY farmer or any man.
ufacturer knows that personal
interest in the crop or the thing
produced is powerful factor in
promoting efficiency and good
workmanship on the part of the
producer. So we Sc great man
ufacturers, acting upon this
principle. putting their plants on
a proft-sharing basis, with every
worker being rewarded in proper
ton to his intelligence and eff
cheney. If such system is eff
fective in the factory, why not
on the farm?
Under the share plan, both
landlord and tenant have a very
direct interest in the outcome,
and both will do their utmost to
make the biggest crop possible.

People continue to inquire why,
when corn is so much more plenti-
full than wheat, we cannot ship
the corn to Europe. The princi-
pal reason. as explained by the
food administration, is simple
one-the corn terminates and
spoils on an ocean voyage, and the
wheat doesn't.
