Louisville Farmer Sells S3,211.5S Milk During
Al From Herd Of Average Twenty Nine Cows;
Kosdusko Concern Buys Milk In Territory

In addition to milking the cows,
Mr.. Harris feeds the cows and
calves and cleans the barn. Then
what spare time he has, he spends
in working his own garden and
truck patches, and Mr.. Dempsey's
garden. Mr.. Harris was paid $3.50
per month. In addition, he gets all
the milk his family can use, garden,
potatoes, peanuts, watermelons, and
other truck patches. He also gets
40 bushels of corn as a bonus, which
to make his bread and fatten two
hogs for his meat.
Mr.. Dempsey states that his
dairying program is a means of
marketing home grown roughages
and feed crops in general. In plan
ming his farm crops, he says that
he is now planting a larger acreage
of crops for which there is no mar
ket, such as lespedeza, s%oybeans, and
velvet beans, but that he is now
using his dairy cows as a processing
plant through which to convert these

Good Pastures
Represent Big
Feed Reserve

When increases in milk produc-
ton for 1912 were asked nearly a
year ago as a prelude to the great
Food for Freedom program, Amer
lea turned to the stored fertility
of her pasturelands. But while
these grasslands are a reservoir of
richness, darymen know that to DE
sure of achieving the 9 billion lbs.
milk increase, no bets can be over
looked in making the pastures as
! productive as possible.
Pasture Pointers
The DOS and Dont's" of pasture
management apply to every farmer,
big or small. The farmer with just
one, two, or three cows can make
a contribution to the national pro-
duction effort. II the small farm
operator improves his pastures and
manages his COW or cows effec-
lively he can produce enough milk
for his own family needs and thus
make more commercial milk avail
able for war needs.
The activity and effort expanded
this spring in pasture improvement
will pay dividends later in the year.
Lime and superphosphate, can be
used to excellent advantage in the
spring when pasture seeding or new
growth is in prograss.
Dairy specialists advise %contin-
ued feeding of concentrates and
J grains to milk cows even after Vey
have been turned into the pastures
in the spring. A feeding system
combining grazing with the meals
of concentrates and grain will show
, up OF the production chart.
Advise Rotation
Pastures may be used wisely or
poorly just as any farm equipment.
A process of rotation is the ideal
practice. This calls for grazing one
area, then fencing it off and NOV
ing on to an untouched area, re-
/ seeding and reworking each area
as the cows are removed from it.
The conservation practices of the
/ Agricultural Adjustment Admins
/. tration for which Conservation pay
ments' have been made has been a
forward step in enriching the soils.

?, ranging from so to 100, depend
ng on availability of seed.
About one-third of Holmes coun-
y territory is in the Delta. How
ever approximately sixty percent of
cotton grown in Holmes county is Of
he longer-staple variety.
The purpose of this survey. as
in%stigated by President Hugh L.
Gaar, Delta Council announced upon
release of the statistics, was to make
an estimate of the number of Delta
farmers cooperating in the program,
approximate increase in production
that may be expected, and obstacles
confronting those who felt they
could not go into the program at
least so per cent. Chief problem
in the successful execution of the
War Departments and Department
of Agriculture's requested program
has been found to be availability of
long staple cottonseed.
Delta Council at Stoneville has
available a list of breeders and pro-
ducers possessing cottonseed of the
long varieties. Additions to this list
will be made in the near future in
effort to make available to Delta
farmers complete and accurate data.
All farmers having long staple cot
tonseed for sale are urged to list
the quantity and variety with the
Council before supplementary list
is made up.
In commenting upon the pledge
survey, Mr.. Gray said, THE Oouncil
is indeed gratified by the splendid
response they have had from this
circulation and wishes to take this
opportunity to thank its members for
their cooperation. We feel that much
important data can be gathered from
this survey and every effort will be
made to aid farmers in overcoming
those obstacles which they face in
shifting their cotton production to
l 1-8 inches and longer cottons. The
| War Department has asked US to
make this change in light Of acute
military needs. The Delta has always
done its part in the nations effort
and now more than ever will CO.
operate in insuring success of our

MILK EXCEEDS COTTON

Clarifying has become a substantial
part of the farm income on the
farm of N. w. Dempsey near Louis
vile. During 1941 Mr.. Dempsey sold
146,934 pounds of milk at a gross
of $~3,211.5S and MIXED an aver
age of 80 cows. He stated that
from 83 acres of cotton he had a
gross income of 100000.
MI. Dempsey contributes his sue
cess of the dairy program to a
large extent to the fact that he has
separated it from the rest of his
farm program, and placed Mr.. C. H.
Harris in charge.
Mr.. Harris is charged with the
responsibility of looking after the
cows, and he, his wife, and two
children have done all the milking.

SAYS WORKER HASN'T MORE
MONEY THAN HE CAN SPEND

To the Forum:
In hearings on the agricultural
appropriations bill held March Is,
1885, official statements of the u. S.
Department of Agriculture say only
10 per cent of the population re-
ceive an income which provides
them with adequate nutrition. The
number of selectees rejected by the
army for having physical defects
adequately substantiates these state
ments. With all this excess pur-
chasing power talk floating about
in short, what with these outrageous
ly high wages we're getting these
days we have more money than we
can spend, why not stop to consid-
er that we might be interested in
buying food with the money we
used to spend on the now defunct
automobiles, refrigerators, etc?
If we give each of the Riddles
three pork chops for dinner instead
of the customary one, eggs every
morning instead of every other
morning and maybe chicken dinner
every Sunday with enough SO that
we don't have to use sspuds" for
filler, we not only build up strong
er America, but the 'inflationary
margin repidly vanishes from our
paychecks.
If we would curtail crop restric-
tons along with automobiles and
refrigerators, there could be plenty
of good food for all America and
plenty of appetites to consume it.
Also, chip a little off the middle
mans haul. and the farmers would
get parity prices for it, too.
