Memphis Cotton Exchange Recon-
mends Reduced Acreage.
Memphis.-At the general meeting
OF members of the Memphis Cotton
Exchange the keynote was that the
salvation for the South in its present
dilemma of declining cotton prices on
the eve of planting a new crop was
to cut acreage OF that crop and pre-
pare to grow more food and feedstufs.
AS step toward such an end. q
movement was started to have meet
ings held in every cotton-growing coun-
ty in the belt on Feb. Is, in order to
impress the necessity OF such on the
people who have it in their power TO
do such. The governors of the various
states will be asked to issue a call for
such and if possible declare the day
a holiday, so that all interests may al
tend the meetings

TAKING CARE OF
sow AND LITTER
Sufficient Protection Must Be
Provided During Months of
March and April.
GIVE STRAW FOR WARM BED
After Pigs Arrive Nothing Should BE
Given but Supply of Clean Water
Feed Moderately for the
First Few Days.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Many farmers have their sows far
row during the months of March and
April and the early fall months in the
South. Since the weather is often Sc
we're in northern sections during March
and April. care should be taken 10 pro-
feet the SOW from cold. Give her
enough straw 70 make a warm bed, but
not so much as to allow the little pigs
70 get covered and crushed. The SOW
should have clean water but nothing
else for the first "a hours after the
pigs arrive.
Feed for First Week.
On the second day thin bran mash
or skim milk will be relished. Feed
moderately for the first week A mix
ture Of two parts of corn and one of
middlings may be fed in increasing
amounts until the SOW IS eating a full
feed. If skim milk can be fed in adj
ditiOn TO the grain, there is nothing
better to make the sow give n full
flow of milk. Another good grain mix
ture for the sow at this time is six
parts Of corn and one of oil meal. If
skim milk is available, the SOW will
do well on four pounds of milk to one
of corn. A full grain ration for a day
should never be more than four per
cent Of the sow's live weight. If the
sow can be put on alfalfa, clover blue
grass, or rape pasture. less corn will
be required. A corn ration of about
two per cent of the sow's live weight
with good pasture makes a cheap and
adequate supply.
Care of Young Pigs.
AS soon as the little pigs begin to
eat they will do best if fed additional
slop in a separate pen and away from
their mother and the larger pigs. This
can be done by having a pen or a
lot where choice clover or other for
age crop is growing to which the pigs
may have access, but where the open
ing is so small that the larger pigs
cannot pass through. When the young
pigs are from eight to ten weeks old
they should be weaned. This often |
causes Il serious check in their
growth. but should not do so. When
