has been done. until they now range
from 3 per cent to Az per cent. This
administration has constantly sought
to prevent further def1ation by en-
couraging all kinds of business in
order to restore prices of agricultural
products to a point where they would
show a fair profit. The general busi-
ness depression had reached its low
est depths in the spring of 1921, and
since that time there has been grad
ual recovery, which has now spread
to agricultural products. If mis-
take was made, it was not made by
this administration. The Government
is now proceeding in the opposite dl-
rection.
Advantage must be taken of the
present period of relief to provide.
by the adoption of sound business
methods and sound legislation,
against the recurrence of such dis
astrous depression. This is not a po-
litical question; it is an economic
que Stion. 1t is not a sectional queS-
ton; it is a national question. 1t does
not relate merely to the welfare of
those who live on the farms; 1t IN
fiuences the welfare of all the people
of our country. 1t is altogether too
important to be permitted to be in
volved in partisan politics AS prices

Sound Business Is Goal.
What we may hope for in this di-
rection is illustrated by our present

and exports were but $4,000. .000,0 900.
After the war the trade of the whole

GEORGIA POTATOES 10.
NOW MOVING FREELY
Growers Association Has Or

Are Available at Good Prices

VAIDOSTA, August 13.-The
Georgia Sweet Potato Growers AS
ISOLATION was being offered $3.50 a
bushel for new swweet potatoes the
first of the week in car load lots,
The association now has more or
ders than it can fill. New potatoes
are beginning to move freely this
week.
The way orders are coming into
the offices of the association here
indicates that buyers would rather
buy through the association than
from individuals, and will pay a
higher price for them where they
are sold by the association.
The growers themselves realize
the Importance and necessity of an
organization to market their sweet
potato crop, and growers from all
sections of the state are writing to
association headquarters asking that
membership contracts be sent them.
One grower from Clarke county,
near Athens, has recently written
for a contract. The Association
now has members in about twenty
counties of this section of the state.

uct sells at the highest price, and
therefore yields a greater return
on the feed consumed. This pro-
duction comes at a period of the
year when it is easier to deliver a
cream Of good quality because Of
cool weather conditions and lack of
flies and dust. On the other hand.
the COW that calves in the spring
produce her heaviest yield during
the busy summer when not weather
and flies make it difficult to deliv-
er high quality product TO the
creamery and when the price is
lowest The spring-freshened cow
does not improve in her milk flow
during the fall and winter months,
but usually goes down in milk dur
ing the hot summer months thus
making it difficult for her to re.
turn a profit on dry feeds. She
will also be dry in late winter
months and must be fed on dry
feeds when she is not returning an
income.
When spring comes new pastures
help boost the milk flow Of the COW
which freshens in the fab, and thus
she will finish her lactation period
with high production. In sprinr
the price begins to fall off, but tie
COW is producing at a cheaper rate
because she is on pasture. She is
then dry during the hot season
when butter fat sells at the lowest
price and when farmers are busy

FALL CALVES PAY
BEST, SAYS EXPERT
Close Study of Prices Paid for
Creamery Butter Indicates
Most Profitable Plan

CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. c.,
August ia study of the prices
paid for creamery butter over a
period of thirteen years shows that
invariably the price per pound paid
for butter on the larger markets Of
the United States is highest during
the fall and winter and lowest dur
ing the spring and summer months.
Therefore a farmer who breeds his
cows to freshen in the fall will get
more from the volume of cream
produced than he would get from
the same volume in the spring,
points out J. P. Lancaster, Chief of
the Dairy Division.
The fall calf is also cheaper to
raise because it fed milk, grain,
and hay during the winter months,
and by spring is old enough to get
considerable amount OF its feed
requirements from pastures; while
spring born calves must be fed milk
and grain during summer, then
grain, hay and silage the following
winter, thus making the spring
born calf cost considerably more at
one year of age than a calf born il!
the fall. Furthermore, the farmer
has more time to devote to the care
of the calves in fall and winter
than in the spring and summer
season, when crops require most of
his attention. This same thing APP
plies to mature cows in that they
are giving their greatest flow dur
ing the slack winter months ard
are dry nearly so during the dry,
hot busy season.

is fed dry feeds during Ter heav-

|DA|RY EXPERT HERE
| TO ASSIST DAIRYNEN
F. A. Henninger VIII Spend
Some Time in Sumter and
Adjoining Counties

Mr.. F. A. Henninger, of st. Louis
arrived in Amercius recently, and
will be in this vicinity two or three
weeks, studying the cost of produc-
ing milk and other livestock prob
lens. Mr.. henninger is in the en-
pillow of the Ralston Purina Compa-
ny, of st. Louis, and has spent sew
eral months in this state studying
feeding problems and methods.
Mr.. Henninger is very optimistic
concerning the dairy industry in
this section of the country. He be.
believes that the depression in the
prices of dairy products is nearly
over and that butter and milk will
continue to bring better prices ow-
ing to the proximity of good mar
kets.
In his study of the dairy situa-
ton, Mr.. Henninger has found that
the dairymen making the most
money are those who are making
close study of the cost of produc-
ton and producing their milk
cheaper than the average farmer.
Little can be done by the indi-
vidual farmer" declared Mr.. Hem
ringer, ito raise the selling price
of his products. However, a great
deal can be done to lower the cost
of producing it. He must produce
as much homegrown roughage as
the stock will eat, thus cutting the
grain cost as low as possible. In
producing grains he should buy that
which will produce milk the cheap
est. In order to determine how
much it is costing to produce milk,
he should keep records on his cows
and weigh his milk. This will show
him that cows pay, as we'll as what
it costs to produce the milk.
Many farmers are antagonistic
to weighing their milk, claiming
that it is too much trouble to get
up at tire eo5clock in the morning
and milk, to bother with the extra
trouble of weighing the milk. The
only reason we take this trouble is
to make profit. If, by taking
few minutes extra trouble each
day, we can greatly increase that
profit, we are foolish not to do it.
1t is truly astonishing how widely
the cost of producing milk varies.
With two farmers side by side, it is
not unusual to find one selling milk
that cost twice as much to produce
as that of his neighbor."
While in this territory, Mr.. Hen
ninger will be glad to show, anyone
how to figure the cost Of pr slucing
milk and tell them how their fig
ures compare with those of others
producing milk under the same con-
ditions. He may be reached at the
establishment of Smith Grocery
company.

sued by Wayne B. Wheeler, gener-
al counsel of the Anti-Saloon

views on fruit juices to correct pos

were being aired.
"The fruit crop now coming on
