SOUTHERN BANKERS
URGED TO BACK UP
DA|RY|NG WITH LOANS

A comparison OF the financial con-
dition OF dairy farmers and dairy COM
munities with cotton farmers and cot
ton communities in Mississippi brings
out the fact that while 80 or 30 per
cent OF the cotton farmers owe the
banks money and are asking for ex-
tensions on their notes. and there are
almost no instances OF notes held
against dairy farmers. The merchants
i'm towns surrounded by the best dairy
communities report their business
throughout last fall and winter as re-
markably good.
This statement is made on the au-
thority OF the extension dairy hus-
bandment who for nearly 10 years has
engaged in the movement carried on
by the United States Department OF
agriculture and the State Agricul-
tural College of Mississippi to build
up dairying in that State and furnish
the farmers with a source of income
after the boil weevil had reduced the
production of the South's great staple.
To farmers these facts should lend
encouragement TO break away from
the one-crop system. the specialist
says; to the bankers and business men
they should be convincing proof that
greater farm prosperity, attained by
a more permanent and constructive
type of farming. benefits the entire
community The growth OF the dairy
industry throughout the South is linn
tied in very large degree by the will
ingness and ability of bankers and
other moneyed interests to finance the
cotton farmer of the past in buying
cows and making the necessary
changes in order to branch out in a
new line.

GROW PERENNIALS FOR
SUPPLY OF CUT FLOWERS

The demand for herbace0us peren-
malls in a garden is increasing daily.
Gardeners and orists, who have a
large demand for cut flowers. are COM
ing to greatly appreciate the value of
herbaceOus perennials for yielding
supply during the summer season.
They are equally valuable to those in
dividuals who desire a successional
supply of cut flowers throughout the
season, and he who has room 10 grow
plants can do no better than to plant
some perennials. The beauty of an
herbaceous border. which is planted
mainly for its ornamental effect, is
soon spoiled by constant and heavy
cutting and If some one desires a large
supply frequently, it would be better
to grow those most adapted for cut
| ting. on a separate piece OF ground
where they can be planted in guam
ltity. For supplying flowers for cut
ting those kinds should be selected
which stand well i'm a cut state and
those which are hardy and frees
blooming. @eNs
few OF those which are we'll
suited for cutting are Delphinium.

Shasta Daisy, Gailardia, Coreopsis and
