DAIRY COWS HELP TO
SOLVE FARM PROBLEMS
Provide Steady income, Build Up
Soil, and Keep Labor Employed
All the Year Around.

Keeping dairy cows will help the
average farmer TO overcome three
main drawbacks to the one-croD sys-
TEN of farming: A cash income but
once a year. a depleted soil, and un-
equal distribution of labor, according
to G. H. Staples, dairy specialist, EA-
tension Division, Louisiana State
University.
"For the farmer who does not have
a ready and accessible market for
dairy products, a few dairy cows will
provide the cheapest and best of hui
man food for the family" says Mr..
Staples. "The cows will consume
much of the rough feeds that usually
90 to waste and the expense of keep
ing them is thereby greatly reduced.
"For the farmer who has good
market for dairy products dairylns
is most profitable business, is al
ways safe and sound line of farm
ing is least affected by sudder
changes of weather and seasons
gives a steady cash income, builds
ND the soil, and provides employment
for labor at all seasons"

DEAN DODSON SAYS THE OUT
LOOK is GOOD FOR PROFIT
IN PORK PRODUCTION.
SHIP HOGS COMPARATIVELY
Where Prices Are Depressed on Local
Market Cooperative Shipments
Should Be Made If
Possible.

"WAcre it is possible for hog raisers
to make cooperative shipments of hogs
to the packing plants there should be
no Encouragement over the depressed
local market for hogs" says Dean W.
R. DodsOn, College Of Agriculture, Lou
| isiana State University. 'The price is
holding firm at the packing centers,
| and it seems to me that the condi-
tons are such as to justify the eXpec.
tation of the prevalence Of high prices
next fall and winter.
Undoubtedly there was material
increase in the production of hogs last
year; this was due largely to the ma.
tion-wide campaign for the increased
production of hogs as patriotic duty,
partly to the unusual activities in com.
batting hog cholera, and partly to the
assured high prices. The highest esti.
mate made last fall of the increase, by
any responsible commercial Organiza.
ton, was Is per cent; the Department
of Agriculture's estimate was about 8
per cent However, wien we look
into the condition of the foreign mar
ket and the slaughter records of the
present winter, we find that there is
good demand for all of the meat and
lard that we have, and that the un.
usual high killing record will leave
us at the end Of the year with less
number of hogs on the farms than we
had last year. The killing records
during some of the months of heavy
marketing ran as high as SO per cent
increase above the killing record for
the corresponding months Of the pre-.
ceding year, and we would expect our
present stocks remaining on the farm
to be somewhat lower than usual.
"If we take the highest estimate OF
increased production, or Is per cent,
the total increase in pounds of pork
produced will still be considerably
short Of the estimated increased eX.
port demand; thus if we are able to
meet the export requirements, the
large supplies of pork products now
held by the packing companies will be
absorbed in the very early summer
and we will go into the next season
with much less stock on hand than
we had year ago.
Again, the guaranteed price of
| 1925 a bushel for wheat is undoubt.
ediy causing many farmers in the
spring wheat region to sell their hogs
now, with the expectation of planting
spring wheat instead of corn. This
will have a tendency to lessen the
supply of hogs next winter and spring
and to make corn higher.
call of the European countries will
require, for some time to come, large
supplies of pork and fats from the
United States.
"We should, therefore, answer in tht
affirmative the inquiry, Should Lou
isiana raise more hogs?"

PAINT AND lLLITERACY.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That 10.
calities Least Using Books Avoid
Paint Also.

Washington, D. CA curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu-
cational Bureau and the Bureau of In.
dustrial Research here. It is that in
the states where illiteracy is most
prevalent paint is least used. The
paint referred to is the common or
barn variety, of course, for the back.
woods countries have no neeu for the
finer pigments or facial adornments.
1t is true, though, that in the sections
of all states where white iliteracy is
highest painted homes are rare and
painted outbuildings and barns are
practically unknown. Probably the
illitersses do not use paint on theil
buildings because they do not under.

MODERN METHODS OF STORAGE
TO CAUSE GROWING OF POTA.
TOES TO EXPAND RAPIDLY.
A GOOD MONEY CROP
Growers Are No Longer Forced To
Rush Sweet Potatoes To Mar
ket and Accept Low
Prices.

With the rapid extension of the
modern methods of storage, the sweet
potato can and should be made ono
OF Louisiana's biggest money crops.
Our state has thousands OF acres
ideally adapted to the growing of this
crop, and our seasons and climatic
conditions are unequaled in any otn-
er section of the country.
The sweet potato is growing in
greater demand each year Carloads
are now being shipped to sections OF
the United States where only few
years ago it was almost unknown ex-
cept for period of few weeks dur
ing the autumn The increase OF IN.
terest in the sweet potato as an ar.
ticle of food is both a cause and re-
suit of the modern methods Of stor-
ing and curing. The farmer is no
longer forced to rush his crop on thu
market at the time Of digging, there
by Cutting same and suffering from
the resulting low prices, but can
store the crop and place it on the
market when the prices are attrac-
tive.
Illustrative of what can be done
with sweet potatoes, the success Of
several growers, this past season, is
given: Several employees of a lum.
ber company purchased from tho
company twenty acres Of cut-ovef
pine land and planted it to potatoes.
The proceeds from the crop paid for
the land, and clearing of the stumns,
fencing, and all expenses incident to
the growing of the crop and left a
good interest on the investment. One
grower was paid by the owner of a
commercial storage house $4,000 for
a sixteen-acre patch as it stood II
the field and besides was paid for
the harvesting Of the crop. Another
grower harvested ten acres, sold part
of his crop for $1,000 and is holding
the rest, 500 bushels, for $500 per
bushel.-M. Hull, Extension Division,

Motor Dealers To Organize.

The first step in the organiza-
ton Of a Bi-State Automobile
Dealers Association will be taken
at a convention of dealers to be
held in New Orleans July 1O-11.
The movement inaugurated a
month ago by A. H. Borden,
vice.president of the Shuler Auto
Supply company and secretary OF
the New Orleans Automobile
Dealers Association has received
the endorsement of more than
200 dealers in the state who have
pledged their attendance at the
convention.
The new body will have for its
chief purpose the development Of
Louisiana and Mississippi. 1t will
handle plans for the improvement
of the automobile industry, the
building of more and better high
ways, tho abolition of legislation
harmful to motorists, the spread
ing of propaganda to increase the
number automotive vehicles used,
the installation of modern busl-
ness methods and more Intelligent
advertising on the part of motor
companies and bodies.
Every dealer in the state is in
vited to attend the convention and
give his aid and suggestion in the
organization. Full information
may be obtained from Mr.. Bor-
den as to arrangements, reserva-
tions and other details.

ARMISTICE, BUT NOT
PEACE FOR THE TICK

Release from quarantine does not al
ways mean absolute freedom from
ticks, and II will be necessary to con
tinue cattle dipping to some extent
at least in the released parishes, until
the last tick has been destroyed, ac'
cording to the officials in charge Of
the tick eradication work.
Now that the armistice has beer
signed with the tick in a majority o.
the parishes in the State, diligence
should be manifested on the part o
every stock owner to prevent any re

HIGH WELDING COTTON
VARIETIES PAY BEST

The best yielding varieties OF cot
ton produce twenty, thirty, and even
forty per cent more cotton than the
poorer varieties, as shown by reports
of Southern experiment stations, ac
cording to W. r. Perkins, director OF
extension, Louisiana State University
"The popular varieties OF cotton
change so rapidly, on account of new
ones being brought out and old ones
renamed, that it is difficult to name
the best varieties" says Prof. Perkins.
"The important point is that the vari-
ETY. should be pure; that is, every stalk
should be similar in appearance and
in productive capacity to every other
stalk. The art of making the best cot
ton crop on a given piece of land con-
sists in having as many stalks as there
is room for Of variety in which ev-
cry stalk will produce its full quota Of
cotton A mixed or hybrid variety will
never do this, because great many
of the stalks will be barren or will be
shy producers. Uniformity in color
and general appearance are very good
indications of variety.
1T would be unwise, however, for
cotton farmers to depend wholly upon
improved seed as a means of increas.
ing yields, for it must be remembered
that fertile soil is the most impor
tant factor in successful cotton grow
ing. 1t is a very poor policy, indeed
to plant very poor land IN cotton al
