Why put your good feed into a
scrub that is worth only $4,000 at a
year old when you could put the same
feed into purebred and sell it for
$4,000.
Why pay $500 for scrub bull

that will sire calves of uniform color
size and conformation that will please
the eye of the buyer, and make more
money?

Southern Bankers Urged to Back
Up Dairying with Loans.

This statement is made on the au-
thority Of the extension dairy hus-
bandmen who for nearly 10 years
have been engaged in the move
ment carried on by the United Stat
es Department of Agriculture and
the State Agriculture Colleges to
build up dairying in the South and
furnish the farmers with a source of
income after the boil weevil had re-
duced the production of the South's
greatest staple.
A compromise of the financial
condition of dairy farmers and dairy
communities with cotton farmers and
cotton communities in the South
brings out the fact that while 80 or
80 per cent of the cotton farmers
owe the banks money and are asking
for extension of their notes, there
are almost instances of notes held
against farmer. The merchants in
towns surrounded by the best dairy
communities report their business
throughout last fall and winter as re-
markedly good.
To farmers these facts should
lend encouragement to break away
from the one-crop system, pecialists
of the Division of Extension, Uni
versity of Tennessee, say; to the
bankers and business men they should
be convincing proof that greater farm
prosperity, attained by more per-
manent and constructive type of
farming, benefit and the entire com
munity. The growth of the dairy
industry throughout the South is
limited in a very large degree by the
willingness and ability of bankers
and other moneyed intrests to fin.
ance the cotton farmer of the past
in buying cows and making thence
essary change in order to branch out
in new line. The dairy industry
