Carroll, Holmes County chair
man. Anyone who has not donated
or who wishes to make a special

Cattle Raisers Boost
Dairy Industry; Say
Less Work, More Pay
Franklin Herder
Predicts Good
Beef Prices

Growing cattle is less trouble.
some and more profitable than
growing cotton, according to G.
II. Love, Franklin cattle raiser
who this week predicts that pric.
es will stay "up" if the cold wea-
Their in the northwest continues
killing ANIMALS as has been the
case this winter.
With other cattle raisers boost
ers of the county, Mr.. Love testi-
fled to the strong possibilities of
Holmes as cattle section.
MIR. Love tells that the recen,
bad weather has not harmed his
herd of 70, as cattle grown here
are hardy and unused to beine
housed. According to A p. Car
roll, less than five per cent are
furnished sheds in the winter
where severe climatic condition
are scarcely known.
Stond Cold Weather
The only way cold weather
here will hurt livestock is BY
causing farmers to spend more
for feeding than otherwise, &C
cording to County Agent w. r
Sullivan, who joins dairy farmer:
in the county in giving verbal sup
port to the industry.
Mr.. Love says he grows almos,
cow to each acre, turning then
on pasture; only planting gras.

started, bring the pots to sunny
place about so degrees F. When
the new leaf shoots appear above
the soil, move the bulbs to where
the temperature is about so de-
grees F. and there is plenty Of
sun. This is the best temperature
to keep bulbs in healthy growth.
In a warmer place the leaves
grow tall and weak so that they
need support.
Bulbs grown In water are plac-
ed in shallow dishes and support
ed by small pebbles or sand
Hyacinths may be grown in the
special glass water containers
made for the purpose. Water
should come up to the center OF
the bulb. AS with potted bulbs,
start growth in water in dark
cool place until the roots form
Then move into light where there
is slightly more warmth.
