Get Ready for Big Feed Crops,
Progressive Farmer.)


Notwithstanding all our boastine
about our increased production OF
feeding stuffs in the South during
1917, there Is not enough feed in the
Cotton Belt, east Of the Mississippi
river. to feed the livestock on hand.
OF all the failures Of the Southern
farmers in live stock production, and
there have been many Of them, none
has bean so general or SO fatal as
this onesof failure to provide suffi-
cient feeds.
No farmer can afford to feed live
stock who does not produce an
abundance of good roughage for
them. He can afford to buy a cheap
concentrate like cotton seed meal
but he cannot afford to buy rough
age.
The year 1918 should be marked
in the South by the production of
more silage, hays and other rough
age than ever before in our history.
The reasons are so sound and all
compelling that there can be no ar
gument in the case, and to fail in
this duty will be fatal.
