OTHER ADVANTAGES

Climatic conditions in the South ere
favorable for dairying. Less expen-
sive buildings for the protection Of cat
tie are required than in colder climates.
This reduces the expense for care and
housing. The long grazing season and
the many excellent grasses which grow
luxuriantly make it possible to produce
milk, butter, and cream at a low cost
for large part of the year. The
scarcity and high price of good dairy
cattle are attractive considerations, for
after farmer has become established
in the business, the sale Of surplus cat
tie can be made source of consider
able income and profit The skim
milk from herd Of cows is one Of the
best supplementary feeds for hogs and
poultry. These two lines of livestock
furnish profitable cash side lines and
naturally go hand in hand with dairy
farming. Large quantities of condens-
ed milk, butter, cream, and cheese
must now be purchased in other sue
lions. The South can produce these
at home. IF the supply is constant,
the quality good, southern dairy pro-
ducts will find ready market at pro-
fitabIe prices. Dairying properly con-
Quoted will restore fertility to the south
ern farm and equal the distribution Of
labor throughout the year. Il will
put the southern farm on cash basis,
SO that the cotton crop, free from all
liens, can then be sold for cash when
ever it viii bring the highest market
price.

DAIRYINc PROVIDES A
STEADY CASH INCOME

a one-crop cotton growing system
forces a great many farmers either to
borrow money with which 10 make the
crop or to buy supplies on the time
basis High rates Of interest must be
paid. The merchant who furnishes the
supplies also frequently does business
On borrowed capital. What the South
needs is not the abandonment OF cot
ton growing. but the weaving into the
farming system Of something that viii
ID itself be profitable, and also fur
nish ready cash throughout the year.
Dairying meets these requirements. Il
is adaptable to the conditions of the
large farmer and the small farmer.
whether he owns or rents the land
DaiSying properly conducted is a pro-
fiable business and a safe and steady
line Of farming affected less BY uncer-
families Of weather extremes or late
seasons than many cropping systems.
II is cash system. cash business fur
nishing a sure and reliable income, puts
the farm on a cash basis, and thus
saves the high rates of interest paid
for money on short loans and the high
prices charged for supplies bought on
credit. On a large proportion of the
farms in the South, small herds Of good
dairy cows will furnish enough ready
cash to finance the making Of the cot
ton crop and at the end Of the year
leave the money received from the cot
ton as clear cash profit. Such a
plan. more than anything else, will
eliminate the old lien system. which
keeps many farmers one year behind.

RICE EXPORTS
INCREASING RAPIDLY

The United Stats exported more
than 100000 pounds Of rice to Japan
during the first three months Of this
year, according 10 figures of the Bu-
reau of Markets. United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. In contrast. less
than a thousand pounds of this COM
modify were -exporttd to Japan during
the entire year of 1919.
The average rice exports of the IN
tied States to all countries during the
period l9l0-l9l4 were less than TO-
100000 pounds year, Today the ex-
Iorts range from 30.000.0G0 to co.
100000 pounds month.
This enormous export business has
been made possible by the development
Of he rice industry in California t.ased
upon experiments made by Depart
ment of Agriculture scientists In grow
ing rice in communities where it was
said 10 be impossible to grow this COM
modify. The first commercial field Of
rice in California was planted in the
Sacramento Valley in 1912. There
are now dozen rice mills in operation
in the Golden State. which handled
$2l 900, 10000 worth Of rice last year.
There is an almost unlimited oppor-
lunily for future development of this
industry in the United States, say the
departments specialists. Rice grow
ers are most enthusiastic over the out
look, and declare that they are going
to teach the American people that
rice is one Of the finest foods in the
world"

DAIRYING IMPROVES THE SOIL

Dairying furnishes large quantities
Of manure for the cotton fields and
thereby returns to the land about 1870
of the fertilizer value of the crops
which the COWS have consumed. Like
wise. the cotton-seed meal, so largely
used as heterogeneous fertilizer, is one Of
the best milk producing feeds and loses
only small percentage Of its 'fertiliz-
ing value when fed to COWS. Every
garden spot in the South is monu-
ment TO the value of manure.
A good system Of dairy farming
rests upon crop rotation. which in it.
self restores fertility to the land, for
the raising Of feed is necessary to the
keeping Of cows. and the best feeds for
them are the leguminous crops, such
as soy beans, vetches, lespedeza, and
other clovers. velvet beaRs, alfalfa, etc.
These crops are preeminentIy soil
builders, since they gather nitrogen
from the air. Nitrogen is the most ex-
pensive element Of fertilizers and is a
valuable part Of ration for dairy
COWS. The rotation Of crops and the
manure from the COWS continually go
ing to the land will soon double the
production Of cotton per acre and at
the same time decrease the fertilizer
bills. This increased production will
enable the farmer to raise on smaller
area Of land as much cotton, or more,
than he does at present.

WEST VA. LABOR SITUATION
AND ITS MANY PROBL EMS

"The labour there is the free West
Virginia mountain white labor. Its eff
ficiency is 30 per cent. An average
or 90 or 20 per cent is necessary for
profits. By doubling the production on
the same amount of equipment. it
would be possible to increase profits
four-fold. The key is therefore labor.
Until the foreign miner is imported to
displace or to supplement domestic La
Dor, conditions will not be favorable.

TIE SCIENCE OF FARMING
By w a. Dougherty, y. S. p

Inish paying work for the farm hands
.at seasons when. on account Of wei
weather. help is not needed in the cot
ton fields or when steady work is
scarce or lacking altogether. On farms
where there are children Of s years
and older. dairying furnishes them with
profitable employment which does not
interfere with their attendance at
school. They can assist IN milking and
other work before and after school
and in this way contribute materially
to the income of the farm.

To make it attractive to you we will offer
TO redeem these mortgage notes at ANY
lime at the rate of $l.25 for each dollar n
vested if used to purchase land or member
ship in the Colony.
Not long ago man wrote saying he had
saved up $500 to buy land and would have
enough this fall to come. If he will invest
this 500 now. it will be worth $l25 to him
this fall in the purchase of any of our lands.
He can use it at any time. The notes are
negotiable. Many others are saving money
to buy land. Some expect to convert bonds
into money. We also accept them.
The advantage to you is that your money
will virtually earn Is per cent interest for
you if you expect to buy land. At first this
seems higher interest than we could afford.
but we are anxious to get people on to the
land for one thing, and if we paid interest at
the usual rate for three or four years. It
would amount to this much. We had much
rather our friends get the benefit than that
capitalists or banks get it.
Now to summarize the plan: We borrow
your money and give you mortgage note.
We use sums from $40 to ST 600 or more.
We will redeem the notes at the rate of ST.
Is for each dollar invested if used TO buy
land or membership. The notes are nego-

security is land on some of which there IS
fine timber-red and white oak. hickory and

$40 to $50 an acre, and land which is sell
ing at SIS an acre now.
The success of cooperation naturally de-
pends on cooperation. What we. can do de-
ponds to some extent on what those do who
are interested in US. This promises to be
our most successful year. We are expecting
those who are watching our progress with
such interest to work with us. If those to
whom we write will purchase just one Ten

Some will Of course do much more than this.

Your Turn Has Come to Back Your
Theories By Cooperating With Us

The Llano Colony is now in the best
shape it has ever been.
This means both financially and socially.
We have spirit of success among the peo-
pie that can be felt. 1t is upbuilding, up
lifting.
The crops are in splendid shape. We have
nearly SO acres in sweet potatoes which
should yield at least 200 bushels to the acre.
The colony contracted in 1917. when we
cane to Louisiana. to purchase huge tract
Of and, nearly 10000 acres. We are to buy
1000 acres at a time and we get the deed
to what we buy, so that it is ours and cannot
be taken from US should we fail to make flu
ture payments.
We pay only Sc per acre for the land.
To save interest and to save us the worry
of finding the money to meet these payments
we offer you the chance of cooperating with
us on the following plan, which secures your
money with splendid land.
This land contains not only some of the
best farming land, but also some fine tim
Der. Some Of the farm lands have already
been promised to nearby farmers at SIS an
acre. The timber is worth from $40 to $50
an acre and upwards for the hardwoods. On
most Of the land there is second growth pine
worth, in some places. up to SIS an acre.
We do not want to draw on other re-
sources to pay for this land. To do so would
hamper us in other operations, would handi-
cap us in carrying out this years plans So
we are calling on our friends. We do not
want to deal with capitalists if we can avoid
it. So we are offering proposition which
we believe will be attractive to our friends
We are offering them the opportunity to be-
gin cooperating right now This is not a
glittering speculation; it is merely good In
vestment for those who are genuine cooper
ators.
We purpose placing mortgage on the
land we are going to buy at the rate Of $3.50
an acre. 1t is land we will sell at SIS and
upwards. We will issue mortgage notes in
denominations Of $40. each Of them on re-

HOSPITAL SERVICE FOR

LOCAL PHYSICIAN REPRESENTS
PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE
HERE.

1t is probable that many men who
served in the world war and who are
suffering from disease or other dis
ability incurred in the military SER
vice, do not know that congress has
made an appropriation for the pur-
pose of providing treatment for them
and hospital service when necessary.
1t is for this reason that the Miner
now calls attention to it in order that
eX-service men in this county may
receive the benefits to which they are
entitled. The matter has been turned
over to the national public health
service, which has divided the coun-
try into districts in order to accom-
modate soldiers in the various sec
tions. The headquarters for this part
Of Idaho is Seattle, but for conven-
fence Spokane has been designated as
the hospital center. and the plan is to
provide hospital service for ex-sol-
diers who require it without cost
Representative in Wallace.
Owing to the large number of ser
vice men in this district, the public
health service has found it desirable
to have a representative in this city
and has appointed DR.. F. Leo Quig-
ley to that position DR.. Quigley is
himself a veteran of the great war,
having held the rank of major in the
medical corps and saw service in
France In addition to representing
the public health service in cOnnec-
ton with these disability cases, DIR.
Quigley is authorized to utilize local
hospitals in cases of emergency or

IF the government that veterans OF
the late war who are suffering from
due to their service should
know of this provision that has been
made for them. All such who desire
further information can obtain it by
