THE FARM DAIRY HERD
A SOURCE OF REVENUE
FOR OPERATING, 2POSES
(By o. D. Hall, County Agent, Pu-
laski County,

That Pulaski County Farmers can
MAKE good profit from the dairy
cow is clearly demonstrated by one of
our leading farmers, Mr.. E. B. Hat
cher.
Mr.. Hatcher has been keeping one
to three cows for several years and
last year he decided to increase his
herd and also to keep very accurate
record as to the cost and amount re-
ceived for the proceeds.
The first three months of the year
he had three grade cows from which
he sold butter and fed the skim milk
to pigs. An accurate record of all
costs were kept including all feed
and labor costs.
In April he increased his herd to
six cows, two of which he sold later
in the year. Six calves were sold
during the nine months. For labor,
Mr.. Hatcher had one man besides
himself who looked after the milking
and helped with the feeding. The
butter was made by Mrs. Hatcher,
who deserves much credit and shares
literally in the profits.
On account of a drouth making
feed crops short it was necessary to
buy feed until Spring when his per-
manent pasture began furnishing feed
and the other crops were ready to
feed. Therefore, the expenditure for
feed can be reduced and a larger prof
it realized than is shown in the figures
presented by Mr.. Hatcher.
Another consideration worthy of
note is the fact that when the whole
milk station is in operation here in
Hawkinsville, which will be soon, a
much larger profit can be realized
fro,a the sale of whole milk than from
the making of butter. Labor will al
so be reduced, and this Mr.. Hatcher
states will be great incentive to the
dairy business.
It is needless to say that he is plan
Ming to increase his herd in number
as well as in quality. He is already
the swner of fine registered Guers-
ney bull and has one registered cow
in hH herd.
II may be said in Mr.. Hatcher's IA
vor that he has for some time seen
the Importance of diversified farm
ing and consequently he, unlike many
farmers of the one crop type, is not
suffering from the cotton situation.
Grain, hogs, poultry and other sources
OF revenue have been bming through
the year.
According to Mr.. Hatcher, the
dairy cow, properly cared for, can be-
come a real source of revnue to the
average farmer ia the county.

Besides his motor car business, Mr.
Ford has valuable interests in rail-
roads, steamship lines, timber, fac
tories, and mines in the United States
and Europe.
Company Grew Swiftly
In 1908, according to the testimony
the Ford Motor Company earned ST.
16S,953. In 1919 the total was $71,-
1O6,631. Even in 1919 the working
capital of the firm was estimated to
be larger than 20 large corporations
operating in this country combined.

Ford Worth Two Billion
Experts estimate that Henry Ford
today is worth $4,000, 100000. Three
times within the last month he has
refused offers of $1,000,000,000 for
his business holdings. His cash de-
posits total 100000, it is said.
His annual income, calculating his in
vestments at $1,5OO,OOO,OOO at five
per cent interest, is figured at $75,-

1927 BE AS GOOD AS LAST YEAR

Here are some real facts made pub
lie in Atlanta today by a local statis-
tician and business prophet:
The year 1927 is not expected to
be any better than 1926 in business
way, but it will not be any worse
and last year was a satisfactory one.
At the close of 1925 predictions
were made that business would fall
off in 1926. There was no falling
off. On the contrary it was better
in many respects in 1926 than in
1925. This may be the case in 1927.
Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press., 1927-02-24

1t looks particularly bright at the
present time.
Cotton represents a much smaller
proportion Of the South's buying pow
er than it once did, hence because the
price of cotton is Tow it does not fol-
low that the buying power has been
reduced to any marked degree. Other
crops than cotton and Dixie's increas-
ed industrial activities will help the
South to get along without any incon-
veniences whatever.

EXPERIMENTAL OIL

lem with which the engineers have
long worked They have made great
progress and so increased recOveries.
In earlier times most oil producers
carefully guarded all information
about their wells and experiences, but
latterly there is cooperation in these
matters. Biologists and petroleum
engineers, once derided by the 'prac-
tieal' oil men, are more and more
accepted as guides and mentors. new
knowledge Is constantly increasing re.
eoveries.
AZ to Mining for on
In Lorraine they have dug shafts
down to the oil sands and actually
brought the sands out, like coal from
a mine. But it's costly.
Another mining process is 10 sink a
shaft to the oil sands and from its
bottom drive tunnels in all directions
through the sands. From these tun-
nels small perforated pipes are driven
into the sands, which drain the oil
out of the sands. 1t flows to larger
pipes back at the foot of the shaft and
thence is pumped out This requires
installing an expensive plant, but IN
some fields the high recovery that Is
assured might justify the cost.
understand the process IS about TO be
installed in a few fields in this coun-
try, some companies being convinced
1t Is practicable and profitable.
Oil can be distilled from coal, and
much work is now being done
along this line. But more appeal has
been made by the plan OF extracting
oil from shale The shales of Scotland
have been worked for three-quarters
of a century, and they are almost I'M
limited in this country, richer in oil
than those of Scotland. Kentucky,
Ohio, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Wyo-
ming and California are particularly
rich in shales. 1t is just question
OF the cost of extracting the oil. Con-
gress has given S1S0,000, with which
the Bureau has Installed plant near
Rulison, Colorado. to diStill oil from
the Colorado River Shales. 1t is
calculated that the ShaleS mined at
Rulison will produce about a barrel
OF oil to the ton.
The Use of Oil Shaies
In Scotland they are working shales
that produce about twenty-five gallons
Of oil per ton. The seams are from
hree-and-a-half to eight or ten feet
thick. In Colorado are seams many
times as thick and containing much
more oil per ton. Reduction of shales
involves an enormous mining opera
ton. and after the oil is extracted the
vast tonnage of refuse must be dis
posed of. SO it is expensive compared
with producing oil from wells.
Ben E. Lindsey of the Bureau OF
Mines Experiment Station at Bartles
Vile, Okla, is confident that explora
ton, better recoveries, better utiliza
ton and deeper drilling would farnisk
enough oil to meet all requirements
for at least twenty-five to fifty years,
II 1t could be extracted in that time.
But as practical matter this will not
be possible Within that period there
will be times of shortage, when oil
from shalss will be needed to supple
ment the oil from wells. etc.
Meantime federal and state govern
ments and the industry are co-operat-
ing in an astonishing range of inves-
legations and studies. These activities

CURTIS OPPOSES
SPECIAL SESSION
OF CONCRES
Democrat Leader Asserts
National Legislature
Should Meet Early

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, P)-Dis-
cussion of a special session of the
new congress was renewed today with
the return to Washington of the Re
publican and Democratic leaders OF
the senate.
Senator Curtis of Kansas, the ma
jority floor manager, declared there
was no reason to call congress be-
fore it's regular meeting in December
but added that committees should be-
gin work on flood control and tax
revision problems before that time.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
democratic leader, asserted congress
should be convened in the early aut-
umn to deal first with flood relief
and second with the deficiency bill
which failed in the last session OF
congress.
The democratic leader announced
he had prepared tentative flood
relief measure. 1t proposes an an
nual appropriation Of $1O0,OOO,OOO
and would extend the jurisdiction OF
the Mississippi river commission to
the tributaries and outlets OF the
Mississippi river.
The proposed appropriation would
be used for repair and construction,
the payment of bonds of levee dis
trictS "and such services as may be
found necessary to determine the aV-
ailability of works supplementary to
leVeeS"
"The issues which arise on this
bill, almost wholly involve questions
of public policy" Senator Robinson
said .''They should be met before the
disasters of 1927 are repeated"
Another Democrat, Senator Ed
wards of New Jersey, demanded an
extra session to reduce taxes. Pres
ent taxes are too heavy for small
and independent business, he declar-
ed in a statement, proposing cut
equal to the surplus, which he esti-
mated at $6OOO00,0O0 in the form OF
reductions in the levies upon cor
porations, inheritances, and automo-
biles and amuSements.
with bitter fight over the
seating of Mr.. Ware and Mr. Smith

almost absolute assurance this fight
will take precedence over tax reduct-
ion, flood relief or farm relief, what
possible opportunity will the 10th
congress have to offer the people tax
relief prior to March Is Of next year

sion but politics and presidential as

PLEA FOR FARM
AID BY CAPPER
Kansas Senator Tells Presi-
dent Urge for Farm
Relief Bill Lives

RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. Up
President Coolidge turned from the
perplexitieS of naval armament long
enough today to hear from Senator
Capper of Kansas that the farmers
urge for the McNary -Haugen relief
bill persists while an adequate sub
Stitute" remains llnannOunced.
Coming in to the Black Hills for a
conference at the summer White
House, Senator Capper is the first to
bring to Mr. Coolidge a message that
the farmer still wants the equalization
fee provision in that long controverted
measure and while he was convinced
the farmers who favor the McNary-
Haugen bill are ready ''to listen to
reason" he did not think that they
would give any ground SO far as the
fee was concerned.
Next winter in congress, he added,
the fight for the essential provisions
Of the measure would be continued,
which, if the Kansas senator propheSieS
correctly, would be the fourth session
in which this long, hard fight has been
carried.
Mr.. Capper confirmed reports the
administrators cooperative marketr
ing bill was being remodeled under the
direction of Secretary Jardine. Sim
liar to administration proposals in
the past, this new bill would set up q
federal farm board with power to LEND
up to $3O0,OOO,000 to co-operatives and
farmers. Although Senator Cappe1
long has been an exponent of cooper
ative marketing, he declared this meas
ure would not meet the present need.
"It would be fine piece of legis-
lation," he said, "but it does not &c
far enough"
The senator joined with his Kansas
colleague, Senator Curtis, republican
leader in the senate, against a special
session of congress.
He brought Mr. Coolidge an optim-
istic report on crop conditions, espe-
cially as to wheat and corn.

today unusually early and by 8:3C

ports from Washington and Geneva

Torrential rains Sunday evening
in this city did considerable dam
age and caused several amusing
situations.
The total for less than IL hours
mounted swiftly to 1.48 inches of
rain.
A slight dust storm and gather
ing clouds were the only warning
shortly after 6 o'clock Sunday eve
ming that a near flood was upon
the city.
Trees bent nearly double and
long rebcrberating rolls of thunder
followed fast on jagged gIares of
lightning.
The torrent kept up for a little
less than an hour accompanied by
electric storms that swung low
over the city.

took off the high voltage in their
fuses and made labor for repair
crews, q check-up revealed yestcr-
