DAIRY COWS, PIGS
AND POULTRY
Selling Cream and Feeding
Skim Milk Pays

tDairying upon the new basis of
marketing cream is undoubtedly
the most profitable way of mar
keting forage and grain, therefore,
cream dairying, or the keeping of a
few COWS on every farm. the SELL
ing of cream to creamery, and
feeding of skim milk to pigs and
poultry is a most practicable and
easily adopted plan. fitting in ad-
mirably with the plans for pro-
ducing cotton successfully under
weevil conditions.
"The need for a constant cash
income from week to week. or
month to month. throughout the
year on all farms is very urgent
and has been all these years. Mar
keting cream will meet this urgent
need for a cash income. enabling
the farmer to proceed, insofar as
current expenses are concerned.
upon cash basis. and it is being
recognized now,- as never before,
that any practicable means whereby
the farmer may relieve himself of
the necessity of going into debt for
supplies upon which to go while
making crop is of importance.
The feeding of skim milk, to
poultry of the right kind should en-
able the farmer to supplement his
income from the sale of cream with
cash received for poultry and
eggs. Skim milk is a most excel
lent feed fer brood sows and pigs.
and a farmer keeping a few cows
with a constant supply of skim
milk on hand will find it much
easier to produce, at least meat
enough for his home needs. In
fact, the cream dairying, poultry
and hogs program in connection
with cotton is most practicable and
will mean: prosperity for those
farmers who adopt this farming
policy.
.The keeping Of cows will re-
suit in an incidental and constant
improvement in our soils which
will prove Of cumulative value and
show up in increased production
and greater margins of profits up
on our main cash crops each year,

what's To be Done About 1t?
{SpartanHurg Herald3.

DR.. Riggs. president of Clemson
College. speaking before the Boost
ers' Bureau of the Greenville
Chamber of Commerce, the other
evening. declared too much inn
portance is being given to athletics.
especially football. in the colleges
of the country. He blamed the
alumni, the newspapers and the
public and we imagine that some
where in his blanket indictment ne
got the guilty parties. He certainly
put out an extensive dragnet.
There is truth in what DR.. Riggs
said. He is not the first 20 say it.
though we believe he is the first
college president in South Carolina
to come right out in the open
with a declaration that the thing
is going too far.
There is. of course. place for
athletics in the colleges. And
there is a place for the great game
of football, but it is perhaps TAX
ing up too much room. or threat
ems to do So 1t is a problem. And
the answer is not in the back Of the
book.
The newspapers and college ath-
letics is an interesting subject. The
newspapers are, of course, interest
ed in college athletics because they
know the public is interested and
intensely interested. And the more
men the colleges send out into the
world the more the world will be
interested. The telephones in news
paper offices on Saturday nights Of
the football season ring as persist
emily as on election nights. Col
lege men. or the fond parents of
college men, want to know the
score. The newspaper that does
not give the score and all the de-
tails Of tie games the next morn
ing is thoroughly uninteresting.
The subscribers pay for the paper
to get all the football news. And
the more football news they get,
the more football news they want
That is why the sport page is call
, cd the Dope Page
In the face of this situation the
newspapers are helpless And we
suspect the colleges are in just
about the same fix the newspapers
are in. The public wants football.
The colleges have given the public
some football and they want more
football and better football. so
what is to be done about it,

The Mississippi Black velvet

Inc NlSSlSS1ppl bicaah
And I will add now a fourth
Icrop to this above list. It is a new
product just introduced-the Mis-
sissippi Black Velvet Bean. The
Hundred Day Velvet does not ma
ture safely and well except in the
/ very low belt. This new velvet, IN
dicated for land manurins, hay:
grazing and bean gathering, Will
mature we'll as high up as North
Carolina and probably in Virginia.
Planted here June the twenty-sev-
tenth it matured a long time before
frost. At ripening time the leaves
fall off. This bean has not been
developed to take the place in the
Coastal Plain Of the Hundred Day
| but to give to the Piedmont section
a velvet bean crop not heretofore
possible for them. The pod. is
large, perhaps double that of the
| Hundred Day. The bean is black,
! larger than the Hundred Day and
fiat and looking much like in form
and size the large white lima bean:
The bean is softer than the Hun
dred Day and can be negotiated by
cattle in the eating Of them, much
better. In the up-country these
beans could be picked and fed later
from the barn as grain or the pods
could be sold tosthe mills for grind
/ ing. The lack of the velvet bean
in the Piedmont has been to date
an agricultural deficiency. This
section needs badly this Black Mis-
sissippi Velvet Bean. There is no
doubt that it will fill the need.
/ All feeds. are high. grains, hays.
etc. By all means let every farm
er pick all of his velvet beans this
year and save them for home feed
ing or for grinding. The grina
! ing of velvet beans in the pod IS
! indicated in large way for 1us here
as an industry. It is an industry
that could be tremendously exploit
ed. and developed. The output
| makes a fine feed. Velvet bean
l.seed will be. too. in demand, in the
spring. If the negroes complain
Of stinging in picking these beans
let them grease their hands before
commencing work with yaseline.
It is said to he of great help and
if you have not sufficient labor Oh
your. farm to pick your velvet bean
crop by all means make it a neigh
borhood matter and 50 bring IN
neighborhood cash in the picking.
The great drawback here in the
South is that some of us do not
know even the names Of the crops
that are so largely indicated for US
here. These crops all need ex-
ploitation. We need to learn all
of their uses and they could all. in
a way. be made money crops. Cot
