Joy That All Can Have.

The Joy of living is best found in
the, real success Of life. Take away
success and there's no joy in life to
one alive to opportunities and respon-
sibilities. No live man is satisfied with
mere existence, for he wants to con-
tribute something to the worlds prog
ress, the worlds good. And 1t is in such
contribution that real joy is found, the
satisfaction that comes from full reali-
cation that one has done what he
could in the year given him. So this is
the JOY this journal wishes every read
er may have the coming year; and will
have If they fully appreciate that the
new year is theirs, to make 1t truly a
happy new year.

EXPERT IS HERE
FOR FORMATION
OF BULL CLUBS

Purebred dairy bulls with produc-
ton records back of them are coming
for Sumter county This has been
made possible by the systematic era1i-
cation of cattle ticks and because the
farmers have seen fit to employ a live
county agent to look after their inter-
ests, says William H. Howell, dairy
specialist from the State College of
Agriculture, who is in Americas to
organize bull association.
1T is not intended to try to get the
farmers to go into the dairy business,
but we do want to see more and bet
ter farm cows said Mr. Howell.
There are more farms in Georgia than
there are mich COWS and that means
that too many boys and girls do not
get the milk that they must have to
be properly developed.
The cooperative bull association is
an organization whose purpose is the
joint ownership, use and exchange of
three or more high class purebred
dairy bulls of the breed chosen by the
farmers and dairymen as being best
suited for the section of the country in
which the association is organized.
The territory covered by an asso-
citation is divided into three or more
breeding blocks or communities, and
a bull is stationed in each block for
the service of the so or SO COWS in
the block.
Every two years the bulls are inter
changed. Therefore, at the first
cost, bull for every 60 cows is pro-
vided for six or more years
The cost of bull service is thus
greatly reduced, the very best bulls
can be obtained, and the man with
limited means and only a few COWS is
enabled to improve his herd
Bulls of outstanding merit are kept
for their entire period of usefulness.
Associations of this kind teach CO.
operation, encourage careful selection
of COWS and calves, introduce better
methods of feeding and management,
intelligently fight infectious diseases
of cattle, and assist in the market
ing of dairy cattle and dairy products.
1t is planned to organize at Ersl
three blocks with bull for each block.
With the provision for exchanging
the bulls every two years, no more
bulls will need to be bought for six
years Many farmers will find that
their part of the money required for
buying these good bulls will be more
than paid by selling the scrub bulls
which they now have.
From year to year the COWS will
give more milk and sell for higher
prices. The organization of farmers
owning together several hundred cows
of the same breeding will attract buy
erS from all over the United StGtoeS
or COWS in carload lots At present
the man with only few COWS has
the good market for them By join
ing the bull association each farmer
can supply a few cows which will
enable the buyer to get a carload of
good COWS in the community, where
it would have been impossible without
the association. 1t is hard to realize
just how quickly a bull association
will produce a demand for COWS.
Instead of the farmers begging
the people to buy his cows, the
