More than 9,500,O00 pounds Of but
ter was made by SO 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 4S1,-
600 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 was 1873 per cent"
While the increase ia number of
cows has been large, it is pointed out
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 5,1S4
head Of purebred dairy cattle in South
Carolina and 1856 in Virginia.
Dairy development began in the
southern states shortly after 1906"
said one of the specialists, but the
improvement was slow at first. It
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

bales per acre; on the other side
field gave half a bale. The farm that
grew two bales to the acre had kept

had produced the change. Farmers
were taken from miles around to see
these two fields.
This little demonstration illustrates
the purpose for which dairy cows were

CARE AND FEEDING OF STOCK
Vermont Live Stock Owner Says Cause
Of Runts ls Due to Neglect Dur
inc First Year.

In contributing his experiences on
the cause of runty live stock in a re-
cent inquiry conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture, a
Vermont farmer urges greater care in
the early life of domestic animals.
'When people can be educated to the
proper care and feeding of STOCK" he
declares. "the runt will be practically
wiped out. The reason, perhaps, why
there are not so many runts in pure
bred herds as In others is because the
man who cares what kind Of stock he
keeps cares enough to care for them
better" He concludes that one of the
principal factors in the cause of runty
live stock is the man who has the care
of them the first year.

GET FIGURES ON PUREBREDS
Bureau of Census Completing Tabula-
tion for States Not Yet Shown
in Reports.

On account Of the great interest
which the United States Department
Of Agriculture finds has been shown
in census figures of purebred live stock
in ten representative farm states the
bureau of the census is proceeding
with plans to complete the tabulation
for the remaining states. This work
is receiving the hearty cooperation of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. Live stock specialists of the
department regard such figures as
very valuable as factors in production
problems, and as indicating develop.
ments in the improvement Of domestic
animals in this country.
1t is understood that the final census
figures pertaining to purebred live
stock on farms will be available at the
same time the general live stock fig
ures are furnished. 1t is thought that
this will be some time during the COM
ing summer. Breeders and breeders
associations interested in this work
have already indicated their apprecia-
ton of the value of the figures thus far
available. 1t is the first time in the
history of any country that accurate
figures on the total number of purebred
animals on farms have been compiled.

mot 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 manure 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 d.
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 bulls 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 hulls were only
81 or So ton. A dairy farm near
Biloxi, Miss, where 40 tons of siIage
were fed instead of cottonseed hulls,
reported a 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 despOndencY 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
