Continued on page 81

Last year, the IL states comprising
the cotton belt produced 1aas ies eeatt
o wheat than IN 1909. These
same states during this period increas-
ed their oat crop 1S3 per cent, hay
crop 12S per cent, potatoes lit per
cent and sweet potatoes 81 per cent,
Hog and cattle raising has develop,
ed proportionately with the increase
in corn and other grain production.
New packing houses and stock yards
are being established throughout the
South. @--4
FLOODED hogs and cattle, found to be
more economical in the production
Of meat, are fast replacing scrub ami

As an indication of the increase in
cattle, raising in the South, Mississippi
in 1914 marketed only 5000 fat cattle.
while last year is shipped l56,2S7
animals, an increase of ISL per cent,
Another source of confidence in the
future is found in the large amount
of cotton held by southern planters
to 'bun' the market. Conservation
estimates place the amount held fol-
higher prices between 1900, 900 and
5000, 900 bales. Prices ranging from
IS to 40 cents a pound are being de
manded by owners of the fleecy sta
pie.

Mitchell, S. D.-Four hundred farm
ers all members of the Farmers Co
Operative Union, have signed a petit
ton of protest against the Milne bill
as passed by the senate. The Milne
provides for state aid to cooperative
unions amounting to so per cent of the

aid is given with the provision that each
farmer ~patronizing the union be al.
lowed to share in the dividends equally
with the members. Under the existing
law only members can share i'll the
dividends. 1t is because Of this fea-
ture of the bill that the members of the
