DAIRY
FACTS
ASSOCIATIONS ARE BIG HELP
Evidence of Popularity of Plan With
Small Dairymen Is Shown in
Mississippi County.

From Attala county, Mississippi,
new evidence of the popularity of the
bull association among farmers with
small dairy herds has come to the at
tention of the dairy division, United
States department of agriculture,
through the announcement that a CO.
operative bull association has been or
ganiZed in that community.
Dairying is almost a new venture
county. Perhaps it is this very new
ness and the consequent lack of preju-
dice in favor of old methods of doing
things that has made it so compare
lively easy to introduce this modern
method of improving cattle. Many of
the dairymen in the community have
shown themselves 10 be progressive
but one man especially stands out as
/ a leader in this respect. We will call
him Green. He is n good old South
erner who is said to have farmed for
some sixty years.
When the agricultural extension
agents from the federal and state de-
partments came into the community to
organize bull association Green was
the man they called on first. They
knew from experience that he would
be very likely TO see the advantage of
such an association to the community
and would be a strong factor in swing
ing into line other farmers in the
| neighborhOod. AS was expected, Green
al once saw the advantages that the
proposition offered, and the very next
| day he started in on the preliminary
work of organizing bull association
"block."
| A few days later the extension mer
heard over the telephone that block
was practically assured. Later, how
ever, Green telephoned that some OF
the prospective members were dropping
out, as they remembered disastrous
| experience of some years before. wheI
they had paid high price for worth
less stallion. This objection was met
however with the assurance that thu
federal and state agents were indors
ing this project and would see that M
one was swindled.
Later on Green informed the coun
ty agent that a block of 40 cows hat
been formed and could be signed up i
the agent and specialist would COM
out to the schoolhouse and clear VI
certain doubtful points. This wa
done, and six farmers signed up a
cows, so that $3.50 was then availabl
for buying a bull.
Things were moving along in such
promising manner that the farmer
who had refused to join decided tina

the association after all, and requested
membership in this block.
mo, sir" said Green, who had been
elected director of the block. You had
your chance and wouldn't come in. Or
ganize a block of your own. We don't
want you in ours"

which had been secured for the use of
block members, the farmers who had
at first refused to join the association
were doubly anxious to get in, but
were again told that they would have
to organize block of their own. Thus
it appears that the doubling ones, who
are found in every community, had to
pay the penalty of hesitating. While
they may still get into the associa-
ton and enjoy its benefits by organic
ing a new block, they have lost a
great deal of time.

DELICIOUS CHRISTMAS SALAD
Endive Is Hardy and Can Stand Right
Smart Freeze-Bitter Taste Re-
moved by Bleaching.

Endive is quite hardy and can stand
a smart freeze. AS winter comes on
more covering can be added and the
family will be supplied with the most
delicious salad until Christmas or
later if it is carefully hilled and COW
cred so as to turn the rain. This
bleaching process not only insures
tenderness. but takes out that bitter
taste which is so Objectionable to

make programme" MT. Garner contin- ued. T have found from rather wide experience with various types of audi ences that all people want to be amused, and they want something different. I re- meinber how joyful I was when I found the first whistler I had, Ed Graham of Montgomery. He was succeeded by John Bradley or Birmingham, who made a wide reputation over the state, and we had the remarkable Claude Greer, who will probably go into vaudeville.
 'The introduction of stringed instru- ments on the programme after several years of songs alone was a popular step, and this feature will remain one of tt< most liked on the Glee Club programme There Is something about boys playing guitars and mandolins that never falls to attract" MT. Garner declared. q have had piano soloists and lately a saxo- phone soloist, and now we have a rrom- bone player of unusual merit. One of the latest novelties we present is a xylophone stunt with the piano. This xylophone music has aroused enthusiasm whenever heard l myself am fond of this music, and an early ambition was to learn to play one. It was never realized.
 The bottles have also come back on the Glee Club programme. When I was in college Jim Dedman, now Dr. Dedman. who was classmate of mine, got up . bottle corps. It was all military in the university in those days of the long ago, and the time for music practice was quite limited. But Dedman, with Dick Wilson of Mobile, managed to train the proper number of boys in how to blow the proper tones in or out of the bottles, which ever expression is correct. The bottles are filled with paraffine for convenience and then enough water is added to make the tones proper in the scale. The tun- ing is the great trouble. Sometimes it requires long while to get them right. Another thing that is distinctive with the Alabama Glee Club Is the singing of ne- gro spirituals.' We started this several years ago, using Swing Low, Sweet Char lot trying to sing like I heard the Mont eagle darkies sing 1t in their Sunday aft ernoon }services.'
 ''The club has been running long enough now to have lot of alumni scattered all over the state" MT. Garner said. There is scarcely town that has not some former Glee Club men. Some of my men become famous all over the state. And while the Glee Club has been ex- banding in it's style and achievements these last few years audiences have been doing likewise. and it is harder than at any other time to get songs that take. Audiences are hnore discriminating, and while they like nonsense, they want 1t properly served, and they like the good things well done also Perhaps one of the things audiences like best this year is Fay Fosters The Americans Come. |

 It is further stated that ''since the or ganizaion of the society Gold Starr sew eral months ago. there has been con- certed effort to have all bodies brought back to this country for final burial"
