at Baton Rouge, said that dairy
farmers in the milk shed" area
above New Orleans were rails
ing $4,000, 900 pounds of milk
a year in 1910 for which they
were paid $1,478,000; by 1914
their output had increased to
100, 100000 and their annual in
come had reached the rate of
six and a half million dollars.
do you know what milk has
meant for this Louisiana area? 1t
has meant new homes, and new
schools for the children, and
generally better living standards,
and capital to. work with. And
that can be the experience of
Jackson county or any communi-

cares to go into the dairy bust

Expert Tells Wade Residents How
Dairying Industry Can Be Started

An address by an agricultural
expert on the favorable condi-
lions for the development of a
dairy industry in Jackson coun-
ty featured a gathering last week
in the Wade Community school
house at which Wade's leading
citizens were dinner guests of
the Moss Point Rotary Club.
The speaker, George r. Beri-
don, agricultural agent for the
Illinois Central System, told the
gathering of his experiences in
working with dairy farmers in
Louisiana and expressed his con-
viction that Jackson county farm
ers could develop a profitable
and permanent industry if they
undertook the job with determ-
nation.
However" he said, "let me
say plainly that if you don't want
to stay on your farms and give
your stock the study and atten-
ton they require, you had better
not go into the business. Raising
good milk cows is one of the
most dependable jobs a farmer
can undertake, but ii is a job that
takes 365 days a year. You have
got to study your feed and pas
turage conditions, YOU have got
to see that your cattle are well
cared for. and you have got to
milk twice a day. Good cows
don't respond to scrub treatment.
They are wonderful machines,
manufacturing one of the most
nutritious products that we
know, but like any good machine
they must be taken care Of
You cannot buy your was
into the dairy industry. You
have to grow into it. You have
to start slowly, building up your
pastures, increasing your blooded
stock gradually. 1t is far better
to build up your herd by rails
ing your own calves than it is to
go out and try to buy a herd. As
your dairy output grows, you
will find that your market out
lets keep pace with it. 1t would
be a long time in the Jackson
county area before you would
have to seek different market
outlets. But if the time came.
you would have no trouble find

in many forms, as cream and but
ter and cheese and ice-cream
mix and in many other ways.
and representatives of the big
cheese companies are always on
the lookout for a new dairying
area in which they can begin OPP

Rotarians Hear
Talk on Need
OF Recreation

The Importance of Pascagou-
las reereational program and the
urgency of voting funds for its
maintenance were emphasized in
a talk Tuesday by August Fis-
cher, city recreation director,
who was guest speaker at the
weekly luncheon meeting OF the

An election is scheduled Tues
day at which Paseagoula voters
will decide on the city govern
ment's proposal for a one mill
levy for recreation and parks.
and a one mill levy for sanf-
tation.
MIR. Fischer pointed out that
federal funds allotted for the OPP
Grafton of the recreational pro-
gram in Pascagoula will expire
in October and the city will be
faced with the fact that no funds
will be available for the oper-
alton of the recreation buildings
and facilities, now nearing COM
pietion.
He pointed out the permanan-
cy of the ingalls, Shipyard oper-
alton here, and the fact that Pas
cagouia is becoming an indus
tllai community, and that well
operated recreational programs
have proved a boom to other in
dustrial communities.
Analysis conducted by such
communities have shown two
chief needs of the population,
housing and recreation, he added.
The local program is planned
on a broad basis, Mr.. Fischer
said, to reach all phases of the
population, children, teen-age
and adult.

tits tOWdluS plONIOlilS WliOlC-

growth of juk joints and other
places which provide an I'M
wholesome atmosphere, he said.
The operation Of the program
can it itseli provide at least half
the Necessary revenue, Mr.. Fis-
cher said in closing, and added
that if he was making an invest
ment he would consider the
small sum asked for as a bargain.
