Two Cows, Mean $50 More Per
Month.

When YOU hear farmer in a cot
ton and tobacco county say that the
velvet bean is the greatest crop
for that section. you may make up
your mind that an important
change is taking place in the ag-
riculture of the region. The man
!, who placed the velvet bean above
the old stand-bys is p. NJ. Pitts,
farmer Of Sumter county. S. G,
and the change is being brought
about by the dairy COW. Mr. Pits
is 50 well pleased with the results
of a few years Of dairying tha. ne
says, II should like to see two good
,, cows on every one-horse farm in
Sumter county. 1t would mean $50
a month additional income to every
,, farm and the feed used in making
the milk would hardly be missed.
There is many man who would
be happy to have that income, ansi
since the ticks are gone it is easily
possible to get it.
"a farmer with a few COWS Will
need to buy very little feed. The
grain ration I am using is made
up of 200 pounds OF velvet beans
gro6nd in the pod. goo pounds OF
corn and cob meal. and 100 pounds
of cotton seed meal. This feed has
given just as good result as mix
ture feed that cost $50 ton. In
the winter the COWS have velvet
bean vines for roughness and pas
ture on rye planted in September.
This will be disastrous year
for many farmers in this section
who have no stock. Our county
used to grow $4,000 bales Of cotton
year. but the weevtl has cut
down the production from year to
year and this fall we Will probably
get no more than $4,000 bales"
Mr.. Pitts has cut down his cotto:,
acreage one-half since developing a
dairy herd from which he retai's
the milk. He has found pastures
dependable and puts up enough
crop siiage to last the year round.
