ANOTHER VIEW OF
THE NEGRO EXODuS-

Editor Edmundson in the Manu-
factTers Record of Jan. 5, saws
that many Southern folks are writ
ing him that the exodus of negroes
from the South is an acute prob
lem. The negroes, they sag, ac-
cording to the Record, are being
enticed Ncrth by offers Of nigh
wages FOR common labor in the
big industrial centers.
Editor Edmondson does not de-
) ny that negroes are going North
In just what numbers, we are not
prepared to say, nor are we I'M
duly alarmed over the situation,
for we agree with Editor Edmond
sons view that in time many of
them return and in many cases, as
we have heard, beg to get back
to the South where living condi-
lions are more ideal.
The Record publishes this as a
part of a well-timed editorial,
that
THE growth of negro popula-
ton in the United States and the
trend of negro migration since
1850, which shows that negroes
have been moving out of the South
IN increasing numbers over long
period of years, though this migla-
ton is not as great as is generally
supposed. Neither is this migra-
ton of negroes wholly onesided,
for some Northern-born, negroes
move into the South, and after a
period of over sixty years there is
net difference in negro population
IN favor of the North and West of
125,OO0 out of a total negro popu-
latIon of 10,500,0O0. Negro popu-
Iatlon is increasing very slowly in
the entire country. The gain be-
tween 1910 and 1920 was only
90 per cent in the United States
and only 2 per cent in the South"
The Times-Recorder has con-
tended that many negroes are
leaving the agricultural sections of
the South and we have endeavor-
ed to present the views of others
as to what caused them to leave.
This, Of course, as we all will.
agree, IS a many-sided question
and after all is the view of only
one individual, the editor.
There are two many idle me-
groes in the South. The thrifty
negroes are the ones we want to
retain, for the South is profited
by their remaining with us. Every
man who is honest with himself
wants to see the good colored folks
OF the community propser; wants
to help them to go forward.

HENRY FORD'S REMEDY
FOR WORLD UNREST

Stated in a nutshell, Henry
Ford's remedy for the present un-
rest in the world is for every man
who is able, to do "a days work,
SIX days in the week" We find
TINS editorial in that carefully
edited paper devoted to the inter
est of the farmer, Farm Life >,
whose comments are short and to
the point. It says:
He seems to think we exag-
gerate the Importance of money
and that we might all resoIuteIy
go to work and even overcome
the handicap of demoralized inter
national exchange. All the money
IN the world could be dumped in
the sea-" Mr.. Ford is quoted as
saying to delegation represent
ing the International Labor Office
OF the League of Nations and
as long as men would put one
stone on top of another and till
their ground they would have
products to barter at the ex-
change, and world commerce
would go on without inter
ruption.' 1t is not a bad
gospel of Mr.. Ford's, that idea
that men can make their own pros
perity by doing "a good days

DON'T ABANDON COTTON,
1T CAN'T BE DONE

The New York Herald after all
these years has discovered that
the peanut is very valuable on ac-
count of its oil content, and from
this fact the editor of the Herald
argues that the peanut should
take the place of cotton to com
bat the ravages Of the boil weevil.
OF course the Herald's position
is untenable, for the simple rea-
son that nothing can take the
place of cotton, and the farmers
of the South must plant it every
year. First, in order that the peo--.
may be clothed, and, second, that
the byproducts may be obtained.
The peanut is solely food COM
modify, while cotton is both a
clothing and food product, but
chiefly clothing.
Should the farmers of the South

ton ef-peNuts, however, it might
be greatly to their advantage for
it is said that they pay well.
Cotton ana peanuts should 90

view. Indeed, cotton oil mills, and

Resting Period.

The question of feeding dry COW
Is one of the many important factors
In successful dairying. Many men
make the mistake of paying little or no
attention to the COW while she is dry,
the Idea being that SO long as she Is
not producing, 1t is a waste Of money
to keep on feeding her nearly as well
as when she is producing. While a
COW should not be given as heavy
grain ration when dry as when she is
producing, at the same time during the
six or eight weeks while she is resting
from her heavy work of production,
she needs to keep her body in vigorous
condition. She should, in fact, always
gain in weight during that period and
should be fed such feeds as will en-
able her to produce a well-developed

Some Reasons Why Hogs
Are Popular Farm Animals

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
What is the basis of the hogs popu-
larity, which, in spite of his relatively
small size, enables him to stand third
in total value among all our domestic
animals in the United States? In the
first place, of course, he produces
toothsome meats which in some form
or other combine well with most OF
our common vegetables, but, according
to the Department of Agriculture,
there are other reasons why the hog
has become a favorite on more than
three-fourths of our farms.
The hog converts much of our corn
crop, 80 to 40 per cent annually, into
a concentrated food, and in this work
of concentration he is no waster. He is
an efficient user of feed. 1t takes about
six pounds of hay to produce pound
of lamb dive weight, ten pounds OF
hay and ten pounds of corn to make
pound of beef, and sc pounds of corn
for a pound of pork. Hogs are fre-
uuently used to "hog down" or har-
vest crops and in this way they save
the labor of harvesting.
In this country pork and lard enter
prominently into our food supply. The
average annual consumption per cap
ita for the last five years was 6I.3
pounds of pork and 12.5 pounds OF
lard as compared with GOO pounds
of beef

Selection Of Breed for
Good Flock of Sheep

In establishing flock of sheep for
the farm there are many advantages
in the farmers Of a community select
ing the same breed. One important
advantage is in changing rams so as
10 avoid inbreeding. A farmer with
only rev ewes is likely to inbred
or use poor sire, rather than intro
duce new blood through the purchase
OF good ram. Sheep are divided into
three general classes: /, the fine
woods, such as the American Merino,
Delaine, and Rambouillet; 2, medium
woods, such as the Oxford, Hampshire,
shropshire, Southdown, etc.; 3, the
coarse woods, such as the Cotswolds,
Leicester and Lincolns.
The first class of fine woods are
especially desirable when run in large
numbers ON the ranges in mountainous
regions, as they herd well together,
retain the wool well, are well protected
by close fleece, and probably do bet
ter than other breeds on coarse or
more or less woody vegetation. OF the
fine woods, the R-amboulllet has the
best mutton type and is the largest in
size.
The second class, or medium wool
sheep are probably best for non
irrigated sections of the state but do
well anywhere, as they are of dis
tinct meat type, mature early, and fur
nish a higher percentage of mutton
than the fine woods. They are not as
large as coarse wool, for the sheep
mature earlier. Some of the breeds
of this class are rather small, active
and well adapted to grazing where the
feed is sparse.
The Southdowns are the smallest
and mature very early and rapidly,
but shear only about six to eight
pounds of wool. The Shropshire is the
most popular farm sheep in America,
giving a well-balanced yield Of NUT
ton and wool, and shearing II to IA
pounds under farm conditions. Hamp-
shires and Oxfords are larger than
Shropshires, but are little slower in
maturing. Any one of these breeds
will give sfaction.-Extension Sery-
