list as long as the human race re-

any attempts to keep that boy from

seemingly Of no significance, is a

Among the out Of town people
who attended Fred Boerner's Duroc
Jersey sale here Friday was A. l..
Ward, swine specialist in the extern
sion department az A. & VI who
opened the sale with very fine
talk 10 the farmers, urging them 20
buy the thoroughbred stock that was
offered. stating that it was his opin-
ion that the farmers Of Texas are
not going 10 prosper until an alb
solute stand is taken for diversifi-
cation. There is no need Of be-
ing broke all the time because some
one large crop, which was planted
with the hopes Of being the source
Of making a small fortune, failed
either to yield in large quantities,
or because the price remained down

Whether the farmers realize It OF
not they are being given enough OPP
portunities to become informed on
the better plans and means sf farm
ing than was ever given the follow
ers Of the vocation, and the writer
is Of the belief that If they will ac-
cept the information given them and
vival in the farming industry will
be realized. The young man who
realizes that his father has spent
lifetime in such labor without max
ing very much progress in educating
his children and enjoying at least
a few of the convenlences of the
modern times is not very prone to
believe the occupation Of that sire.
though il offers about the best
means of livelihood for one of his

would spend the better days Of his

that their children deserve az least
a little consideration in the way Of
being progressive and employ the
best way Of making the farm a prof

on by their children with common
dation and applause.
The farmer who raises scrub

plements il depriving himself Of the
respect and following Of hi7 chill

The South Carolina League Of Wo-

law. The league takes the position
that the present legal status Of wonl-

no further legal equalit:es are nee
essary.
A strong lobby for and against the
proposed bin as advocated by the Ma
ton Woman's party, has been waging
in the halls of legislation for several
weeks. Mrs. Mary Wright johnson
Of Washington, woman leader IN
the Democratic party, has been in Co.
lumoia for some time in the interest

The proposed law would make Wo-

BANKERS SHOULD PROMOTE
DAIRY FARMING

By P. G. Holden, field director, agri-
cultural extension department, IN
| ternational Harvester company.
There are few farmers who do not
know the Importance Of raising dairy
cattle. The millions of acres of worn
out land are testimony to the need
OF conserving soil fertility and this
can be accomplished only by Divers
fed farming, the growing of legume
crops, the raising of dairy cattle and
other live stock and the placing of
the manure back to the land.
Dairy cattle utilize cheap roughage
such as corn stover, fodder and straw,
which usually goes to waste. Feeding
the crops to dairy cattle and return
ing the manure to the land maintains
the supply Of nitrogen and other
plant food elements. 4 90
This not only means more prosper
ity for the farmers and the commun-
iity but it means continued prosperity,
and bankers can perform no greater
service to the people than to encour-
age and, when necessary, finance the
growing Of dairy cattle.
An educational extension depart
ment should be a portion OF the ac-
tivities Of every banking institution.
This should be in charge of a trained
and experienced agriculturist, who
should act as farm advisor
He should keep in close touch with
the farmers, and in every way en-
courage the growing of dairy cattle.
He should point out the increased
profits that come from marketing
grain and forage crops in the form of
beef, pork, mutton or dairy products,
and the Importance of maintaining
isoil fertility. He should assist in or
ganizing stock Improvement associa-
tons in the community; help the far
mers IN marketing dairy products; !;
take leading part in the organiza-
ton Of agricultural fairs and exhibits,
live stock shows and chautauquas; be
instrumental in forming calf, pig and
poultry clubs and in interesting the
boys and girls in raising live stock.
And finally he could prove Of assis-
tance in the procuring of farm loans
for financing those who desire to
raise dairy cattle.
