PROFITABLE DAIRY IN SOUTH
Home Demand Supplied for PRODUCTS
and Soil Fertility Built Up and
Maintained.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
More than 100000 pounds Of but
ter was made by 90 creameries In the
Southern states in the year ending De-
cember 81, 1919. Thirty Of the "a
cheese factories scattered throughout
the mountain region turned out 49,
OOO pounds of Cheddar cheese. Silos,
modern dairy barns, and purebred
dairy cows are becoming common.
"Fifteen years ago dairying as an in
duStry had been scarcely started in
the southern states" said a specialist
in the dairy division, United States
Department Of Agriculture. 1.-The
South probably has made more prog
ress in. the last 13 years than any
other section of the country. The in
crease In the number Of dairy cows
from 1907 to 1920 was more than so
per cent. The increase for the en-
tire United States during the same
period vas 1873 per cent"
While the Increase. in number Of
cows has been large. 1t is pointed GU
by men working comparatively with
the federal government and the state
agricultural college that the improve
ment In quality has been Of even great
er Importance. Purebreds have been
shipped in every year in large num-
bers, and great interest has been
shown in the use of purebred sires.
There are now 4S bull associations in
these states. The latest census fig
ures. available show there are 5,l84
head of purebred dairy cattle in South
Carolina and 1855 In Virginia.
Dairy development began in the
southern states shortly after 1906"
said one of the specialists, "but the
improvement was slow at first 1t
was difficult to convince growers In
my territory that there was anything
for them in dairying. But an object
lesson was found that finally con-
WINGED them. On M side Of a road
was a field Of cotton that yielded two
bales per acre; on the other side q
field gave half q bale. The farm that
grew two bales to the acre had kept
COWS for five years, and the manure
had produced the change. Farmers
were taken from miles around to see
these W. fields.

the purpose for which dairy cows were

recommended in sections of the South
hot to make dairying a major indus
try, but rather to establish a system
that would supply the home demand
for dairy products, and at the same
time build up and maintain soil fer
tility, both by supplying and
by enforcing a proper rotation of
crops. This would make possible the
production of cotton and other staple
crops at greater profit. This was the
aim Of the southern dairy extension
work, the first large scale extension
project attempted, which was started
under the direction of the dairy di-
vision Of the Department of Agricul-
ture in 1906, and carried forward CO.
.operatively by the department and
the state agricultural colleges.
One of the first things corrected
was the poor feeding methods. Cot
tonseed meal and hulls formed the
basis Of the ration; farmers had no
knowledge of balanced rations; silos
were few in number, and it was not
known generally that they could be
built by farm labor. A few silos were
erected in 1906 as demonstrations, and
the idea began to grow slowly in pop
ularity.
The value of silage compared with
cottonseed hulls was very striking,
even in the days when bulls we're only
81 or IS a ton. A dairy farm near
Biloxi, Miss, where 40 tons of silage
were. fed instead Of %cottonseed bulls,
reported q saving Of $3.50 for the win
ter.
From a local standpoint" writes
one of the federal agents Of the dairy
division, "the establishing Of dairying
In the bOll-weevil districts of Mississip-
pi has been one Of the greatest
achievements. Anyone acquainted with
the dependency Of farmers in 1912
in southern Mississippi, and who was
enabled later to see the change wrought
by the dairy cows, will agree that en-
thusiasm for dairying is well founded
In a region that was flOundering for
some means of 4 livelihood, now
changed to a country In which the
nrmers are Supplying whole milk for

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Few crops can be utilized In as
great a variety Of ways as cowpeas.
For centuries they have been grown
for human food in Asia, Africa and In
the Mediterranean region of Europe.
In this country, particularly in the
southern states, the crop is common
ly used for this purpose, but Its most
important use by far Is In the feeding
Of live stock, being utilized for sOiling.
hay, silage. and pasture. It Is also OF
great value as a green-manure crop to
increase the humus and nitrogen con-
tent Of the soil upon which 1t is grown.
These are points brought out In Farm
ers' Bulletin 1853, "Cowpeas: Utiliza-
ton" recently published by the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture,
which discusses not only the utiliza-
ton Of the crop, but the methods of
growing and harvesting 1t for each Of
its various uses.
Have High Food Value.
Cowpeas are not grown for seed
more generally because Of the uncer-
tafnty Of the crop, the expense Of har.;
vesting and the comparatively low
yield obtained. In localities well suit
ed to production 1t will be found
highly profitable to grow cowpea seed
Aon q large scale, especially II the best
machinery for handling the. crop is
used. The seed has q high feeding
value, but Is rarely cheap enough to
be used as feed. It can be stored for
a considerable length Of time without
much danger of loss Of vitality. As It
is subject to attacks from insects, es-
pedally the cowpea weevil. the seed
produced In southern states should be
placed In cold storage, the bulletin
recommends.
Cowpea hay Is an excellent forage
for all kinds q stock. Even the straw
obtained from threshing the peas for
seed Is a valuable stock feed. As a
rule cowpeas should not be cut for hay
before the pods begin to turn yellow.
The best quality Is produced and the
hay cures most readily If the vines
are cut when most Of the pods are. full
grown and q considerable part Of them
matured. II cut before this stage the
vines are watery and difficult to cure.
while If left too late before cutting
there win be an unnecessary loss OF
leaves In handling ana the stems will

from members who are engaged In
various club activities, telling their
experiences and results, also form q
part Of the program.
The boys decided to enroll In q pig
club this year and the girls to take
up sewing club work. A committee
has been appointed for each group to
secure new members. It Is planned
to put on q demonstration by each sec
ton Of the club at the state fair next
autumn.
The local leader Of the club is a
rural teacher and the work is done,
under the direction OF the coupv
agent who has already received 70
quests from other commun9 les mar
by asking how they could FORM
liar clubs. Such q club has the l6-
vantage OF interesting the boys md
girls Of a community In local prb-
lens and will probably be the mems
OF encouraging them to remain In fam

attention to the stage of growth and to
weather conditions little more trouble
will be experienced in obtaining we'll
cured cowpea hay than clover or al
falfa hay.
The bulletin recommends that cow
pea hay be substituted in the southern
states for much Of the hay nov being
purchased from the North and West.
Cowpeas alone have not given good
results as q silage crop. In addition
to the high protein content, the green
vines contain a large proportion Of
water, producing a watery silage that
keeps poorly and Is not well relished
by stock. The best silage Is obtained
when this crop is grown with corn or
sorghum.
Serve Best for Hogs.
Although pasturing cowpeas Is not
thought the best farm practice, under
certain conditions it Is advisable and
quite profitable. Any kind Of live
stock may be pastured on cowpeas,
but hogs r generally used. The best
time for turning the stock on cowpeas
is when the crop has reached the stage
Of maturity thought best for hay.
As a soiling crop, the cowpea can
be used advantageously to supplement
crops with less protein, such as corn,
sorghum and millet. It Is used more

CAPITAL
Ryan Purchasing Agent.

Annapolis
Governor Richie offered the ap,
pointment of State Purchasing Agent
to William P, Ryan Mr.. Ryan ac.
cepted.
Mr.. Ryan said he would take over
his new duties as soon as he has been
relieved Of his duties as Collector OF
Customs by Charles H. Holtzman. This
will probably be this week.
The Governor and Mr.. Ryan held
conference in which the work of the
Purchasing Agent was discussed. Mr..
Ryan said he would be glad to under.
take the work and he promised co.
operation with the using authorities
of the State. 1t has been generally
felt that the lack of such cooperation
hitherto has been responsible in large
measure for the difficulties which the
Purchasing Agents office and the "us-
ing authorities have encountered un-
der the new system of centralized buy
ing.
Mr.. Ryan said further that he would
be glad, should it be desired, to meet
with the committee of seven which
Governor Ritchie recently appointed
to discuss plans for establishing the
Purchasing Agents office on such
basis that buying could be done to the
greatest advantage and with the least
friction.
The salary Of the Purchasing Agent
is fixed, not by law, but by the Cen
trail Purchasing Bureau, of which the
Governor is chairman, and which is
composed Of heads of important State
departments. The salary of the late
Albert H. Wehr, whom Mr.. Ryan sue.
eeeds, was $4,000 year. In his an.
nouncement of the appointment the
Governor did not touch upon the ques-
ton Of salary, but the general impress
sion is that the amount will remain
at $4,000 year As Collector of Gus
toms, Mr.. Ryan's salary was $1,000
year =
Governor Ritchie expressed gratif-
cation at Mr.. Ryan's acceptance of the
appointment The Governor seemed
especially pleased with the attitude of
cooperation which Mr.. Ryan mani
tested.

HUGHES DIPLOMACY WINS
Destroys TokIo's Hope For Support
From Allies In Controversy
Near Crisis In
Toxin.

Washington.-The controversy be-
tween the United States and Japan
over the Island of Yap is approaching
settlement and the agreement will be
in favor Of the contention of this Gov.
eminent.
According to this information, the
method of settlement has been prae.
tically arranged by agreement be-
tween Great Britain and Japan will
take the position that, after all, the
dispute is one between tho United
States and the Allied Supreme Coun.
ell, from which Japan received the
mandate for Yap.
II is known here that the vigorous
position taken by the United States
on Yap was grave surprise to
japanese leaders, who had expected
that, once presented with an accom-
plished fact, the United States would
protest. but would finally accept the
situation. Instead of this, the Hard
ing Administration made the inter
naturalization of Yap a question of
vital importance to the United States.
Opponents Of the present ministry
in Japan urged at the time the first
American note written by Secretary
of State Colby was received at Toxic
that it was mistake to engage in
debate with this Government and that
.ha esatisa matter be afazr4.d r4.. Z, .3 .1
Allied Supreme Council at once. This
advice was rejected and the japanese
Government not only undertook to
argue the question with Washington.
but practically questioned the Yeracity
Of former President Wilson's state
ment as 10 the Yap reservation.
All diplomatic finesse was swept
from the question by the note which
Secretary Of State Hughes wrote the
Powers on the question, which was in
effect that Mr.. Wilson's word was
good enough for this Government He
added that whether former President
Wilson had made any reservation as
to Yap or not the situation was not
changed.
Since then Secretary Hughes action
in saving the European situation by
refusing to permit Germany to draw
encouragement from this Govern
ment in resisting payment of just
reparations. followed by the decision
to participate in the Allied councils,
has robbed Japan of the possibility of
support, in the opinion of her leaders,
according to confidential information
received here.
According to the Herald's informa.
ton, discussion of the question in
Japan has nearly precipitated cabi.
net crisis in Toxic. its danger not be-
ing entirely averted
The decision has been finally
reached by Toxic, however. to yield to
the logic of the situation and refer
the entire matter TO the Allied Su.
preme Council, and the decision will
be carried out, barring the possibility
of Japanese political exigencies, which
might require another change OF
front.
