MILK sHAREcRoPPINc

Charleston, S. c., AP-Share-
cropping in milk production has
proved a success in Fairfield
county, S. c.. says the state Ex-
tension Service. One farmer has
arranged for milk production
among his tenants on the same
basis that it has been used for
many years in cotton production.
The farmer owns the cows, the
cropper feeds and milks them,
and grows feed. Cost of supple
mental feed is deducted before
profits are divided on a $3.50
basis.
The plan supplements rather
than replaces cotton shareerop-
ping. Milk checks reduce al
vanees on regular crops and ma
nure builds up cotton lands.
