type for the huge airplanes which
will be on the airways in 1888.
Ten years ago the coast-to-coast
airmail time was 33 hours, more than
double the present overnight coast
forecast schedules. The airplane fare
from California to New York was
$400, or approximately Is cents a
mile, contrasted with five and one
half cents a mile today.
How rapidly aviation has grown
under private enterprise in the 10
years is shown by the comparison If
traffic on the commercial air lines of
the United States in 1927. the first
full year Of operation, and 1885:
There were 1882 passengers
carried in 1927 contrasted with
746,946 in 1885.
There were 1.4S5. 280 pounds Of mail
flown in 1927 contrasted with ap-
proximately 100000 pounds in 1895.
Air express was a novelty in 1927
and no figures are available for that
year. but last year 1912 tons Of
express packages were flown over
the anyways.

to fully realize the basic fact that
animals of good, breeding and quail
ity pay better prices for the feeds
consumed. The cost of feeds is the
largest item of cost in livestock pro-
duction and we have failed to real
ize that it is the business of the
stockman to produce feeds at the
lowest cost and sell the most posi-
BILE through animals of such quality
as will pay the best price for them.
We have too generally figured on how
little feed we could use and get by,
instead of how good and how much
feed we could produce and market
through livestock.

feeding and management Of livestock
in the South.
/. l cannot change the conviction
of many years that our most impor-
tant mistake, is that we do not pro-
duce enough feeds, or if enough, not
feeds of the best quality. We have
failed to produce the best pasturage,
which is the best and cheapest feed.
We have not made sufficient effort
to provide other succulent feeds-si-
lage, rots, etc., when sufficient pas
turage cannot be available. We have
not produced sufficient of the best
dry roughage-legume hays.
2. We have apparently failed to
realize that cheap feed is the most
, important factor in economical live
stock production and that to produce
cheaper feeds we must have fore fer
tile soils. We have failed to produce
sufficient legumes, the basis of the
best feed supply and soil improve
ment.
3. We have failed to give suffi-
cient thought to the balancing" of
livestock rations. A balanced ration
is something more than the proper
proportions of protein and carbo-
naceous feeds. First, the quantity
,must be in proportion to the amount
and quality of growth or work eX-
pected. We have been VIGOROUSLY
poor feeders in that we have not
given enough feed. Second, a good
ration = balanced ration = must
have variety, be palatable, and con-
tain not only protein of the right
kind, carbohydrates, and fats, but
must also furnish the necessary vita
Minis and minerals.
a. A stockmen we have failed to
give intelligent attention to the daily
details care and management. We
have failed to do those things which
the stockman alone can do-protect
his livestock from climatic and nat
ural hardships, protect them from
mud and dampness in winter, para
sites in summer, and preventable
diseases at all times. Examples
Abortion in cows, stomach worms
in sheep and calves, intestional worms
in hogs, bots in horses and many
other paraites and diseases. We have
failed to realize the full truth of the
old proverb, "The eye of the master
fattens his CATTLE" We have not
studied livestock breeding, feeding
and management as the lawyers, doc.
tors, and bankers have studied the
basic facts of their professions.
5. We have failed to learn and
give sufficient Importance to gooc
breeding and individual quality, anc

Changes In
Farm Horsepower

The horse has long played large
part in the life and activities of man,
but great changes have taken place
during the last half-century. Trac-
tors, trucks, and "tanks" are doing
much of the heavy work the horse
formerly performed, and the automo-
bile has been substituted for pleas
ure driving and in local transporta-
ton.
The development of large numbers
of heavy draft horses in this country
came about between 1875 and 1915.
The average weight of the farm work
horses and mules was greatly in
creased by the blood of these draft
breeds and the farm power thereby
also greatly increased. To produce
1,4O0 to 1,500-pound mules the dams
must have an infusion of draft blood.
The draft breeds originated in Eu-
rope. The Shires, Clydesdales, and
Suffolks came from Britain; Perche-
rons from France, and Belgians from
Belgium. American horsemen, how
ever, have originated and developed
two new breeds of horses, the Stan
dardbred trotting and pacing horses
and the American Five-gaited Saddle
horse, the most beautiful and stylish
horse ever developed by man.
There have been added to the farm
power of the South in the last 35
years not only a million and a quar-
ter automobiles and trucks and an in
crease of Is per cent in horses and
mules, but also 49,, 1928 tractors. 9th
er changes in the power on Southern
arms have also occurred in the last
quarter-century. The mules are lar
ger than before and because they are
pulling larger implements, they are
doing much more and better farm
work. But still, the combined power
use on Southern farms, in proportion
to the man power, is insufficient to
do the best work or to do it most econ.
omically. Owing to relatively large
numbers of farm laborers and the ma
ture of the crops grown in the Cottor
Belt, which require, or at least permit
OF, more hand or human labor being
used, Southern farms have ever useC
fewer machines and less power thar
other sections of this country.

What Is True Success?
By REV. J. w. HOLLAND

ATe you a SUCCESS!
1 did not ask whether you own or
rent your farm. I did not ask wheth-
er you have been to college, whether
you have money, or how good-looking
you are. I am thinking of the you
inside of you.
l very we'll know what the world
calls success. I have heard the world
toot its horns when some talent god,
or money god, or royalty god, or
beauty goddess marched by. 1 am
not thinking of these things upon

which the printers include names in
"Who's Who" for some of the worlds
greatest human failures are displayed
in "caps."
Real success has more to do with
eternal and not external things. There
are ways of true success for everyone.
Whoever leaves the world better
than he found it has succeeded. The
person who reforms himself has done
lot to reform the whole earth. There
are millions of people who are sue
cessful in this.
Whoever refuses to accept defeat,
! but keeps keeping on, through thick
and through thin, meeting each day
with a smile, even though there may
be little to smile at; the parents who
strive, yet can't do for themselves or
their children all that they desire;
the good people who must temporarily
accept relief; young men and women
who stand knocking at door of oppor-
tunity that do not readily open, but
who do not give up-these are all
successful people. "They will not
fear though the earth be moved"
Whoever, uncaring whether the
world cheers or jeers, will not sur
render his personal ideals of moral
and spiritual values nor trail his
white plume of honor in the dust of
animality has in him the heroic stuff
out of which Cod successes are fash
toned In the lowly, unnoticed sta
tions of life, they who never allow
their souls to go to sleep at the
switch, however much they may seem
to miss the outward goals Of success,
are setting the music of humanity's
better march. They are successful;
I salute them with honor.
Whoever sees a vision of better
things, and will not allow time and
sense to divert his attention from the
purut of them-he has made good.
In st. Johns inspired rapture, he saw
, in vision a great company Of glorified
folk, and he said: what are these
which are arrayed in white robes
and whence came they? These
are they which came out of great
tribulation, and have washed their
robes, and made them white in the
blood Of the Lamb" This view into
the eternal existence makes us see
how superficial are most of our ideas
of purely earthly success.
Whenever 1 think of the long lines
of lowly people who hold on, undaunt-
ed when life has become splintery,
who pray on unafraid when the day
seems dark, there comes to my heart
a prayer almost too deep to speak in
words, and I am made better and
Drawer by their successful heroism.
Harry Koopman has expressed it well
for u.s.
When I am dead
May this truth be said
On the rude stone which marks my
i lowly head
That spite of doubt and indecision,
In spite of weakness, lameness, blind
ness,
Hearts treachery and fate's unkind-
ness,
Neglect of friends and scorn Of foes,
The body ills that cloud the mind,
And the bold spirit blind
! Still through my earthly course I
went,
Not disobedient
Unto the heavenly vision.
Therein lies trlle SUCCESS

 Only two or three men living to- day know how Wiley achieved per iormances long considered impos- siole.
 Despite the vast knowledge Wiley acquired results of present day sub lstratosphere ton are not gratifying. It does not surprise me.

Wiley could not begin to use his pow CT reserve until he reached atga-ua- imately 5000 feet.
 One of the most sincere engineers in the aviation industry recently talked of stratosphere flying and its possibilities as based on his expert mentation. Naturally, he was dis appointed with the results he had been able to obtain, because when it all was boiled down to it's essentials, all he actually had been doing was cruise around without sufficient power at the absolute maximum ceil- ing of his ship.
 Our own government could profit by the vast amount of Knowledge ac- luired by Wiley Post. The aero nautics branch of the department Of commerce, by continuing his work, could give aviation a new impetus that would place our commercial and military units far ahead of the rest of the world.
