transportation Rates Increasing

A statement full of significance
to the Florida farmer is that made
recently relative to an increase in
freight rates ON government oper-
ated railroads. The significance
lies in toe fact that many farmers
have been in the custom of i'm
porting bulky feeds for livestock
Under the new rates, such ship
ments will prove expensive.
The University of Florida ex-
tension division has been urging
farmers to produce their own
roughage in the way of hay by
growing legumes or cultivating
grass crops. Silage and fodder
are two other feeds that can be
produced cheaply within the state
and in quantity sufficient to meet
the demand.
The farmer who overlooks his
present opportunity will hardly
be in position to command sympa-
thy when the need for cheap feed |
for livestock becomes more press
ing.
