ROCICY RIVER TOBE DRAINED -- Clerk of Court Has Petition Filed In His Office-Everybody Favorable 3h * A * -! .Tho ^property owhors of the Rocky River section, of Anderson county, owning Sarahs rn'^tho section where a dh. mage district is^-neslred, have pro B.cnted a petition to James N.

This section of tho county, wherein ls located the Hammond swamps, can be drained, according to the report of thc civil engineer making the survey, >?iu if it ia done it wi H mean approxi mately $600.000 to Anderson county In Increased farm land values.

They vary .from light sand'to heavy'clay, or to. thc black prairie sollh, or the stiff post oak.

The Piedmont seclton ,of Virginia, West? Virginia; . western - North ?

The grazing plants are chiefly, blue grass,' , white clover, red clover, red top, and orchard, grass, The cattle fatten, very rapidly during the grac ing season and ratee excellent calves. Most of this region is free of ticks and the losses from death'are relatively small. The black prairie section of Ala* bama?. Mississippi and Texas, and the Delta lands of Mississippi and Louis iana,, arc. extremely favorable sec tions for raising and finishing beef cattle.' Experiments conducted by the bureau of animal industry and the Alabama'experiment station show that cattle when kept free of the cat tle tick can Vye raised at a cost of S to 4. cents -a pound.

'The foundation of all pastures on sandy or sandy loam i-_J_ should bc carpet grass, Dsr-' muds and iespedeza. The variety of i forage crops which may be raised on I this type of soils ls large and it is an easy matter to grow all Ute hays, si- , Iago crops, and forage necessary for, feeding the stock which may'be kept on the farm. I One of the greatest drawback to the cattle industry of the south has. been the presence of the cattle tick ?.hui IraUHmils Texas favor, which kills many of the cattle and stunts others In growth. The tick ls rapid ly being erdalcatcd and lt is only al question of time until the south isl treed of this pest. Tho native cattle of the south are} cold-blooded scrubs carrying variable j percentage of Jersey blood. They are! small in sise and inferior in quality, but they have stamina and the cows) produce good calves when bred to ty good bull. Some of these . cows weighing not over COO pounds he vo given birth to half-breed calves wbich ?have developed Into COO or 600 pound, anima slat 12 to 18 months of age., I They usually weigh about 800 toi 850 pounds at 2 years of age when raised under average southern farm j conditions-. The half breed calves) do not fatten' out as well as calves ot. a higher grade, but If permitted to ; grow until 2 or a years of age they finish out as very good beef animals. I The half breed heifers when bred to beef bells usually produce excellent calves. No section of the country can raise cattle aa cheaply, a? the south, and ihe> variety and prices of feeds are. Such that the animale can be econom- j Jcally finished for the,market. Thei forage plants, especially sorghum1 abd corn, make such a luxuriant growth In the south latitudes that large yields of silage can be produced per sere. The silage ia an excellent ' feed for wintering the breeding herd,' or for finishing the en Unala for the market. The use Of silage in a fat tening ration almrt Invariably in-1 creases the aire of the dally gains, cheapens the gains, lengthens the periods during which cattle cab be fed* cottonseed. meal economically and without danger and results 'iff better finish, fatter .cattle snd greater profita, per head. The leguminous hays ad alfalfa, cowpea, les ped esa, red clover and vetch and the corn stover andi ow. straw are good rough reena to use In conjunction with allege. Tba Shorthorn. Aberdeen-Angus, Hereford, Red Polled and Devon breeds of cattle all do weil In the south. Toe Shorthorn does well on al! lands where the pastures are good and feed is plentiful. The cows usually provo to be very good milkers, giving milk enough for the calf and to supply the borne as well. The re sult or the good milking qualities of the cow ia usually a good growing calf. Thc? Herofords and Angas are good graiere and . urti Ide welt under j range conditions, aa well as on the' j smell tann. The Hereford stands >aheed of all breed? as a r*?*e eshsri. but <ite Angus have the advantage 1 over ali breeds lu the feed lot, as they ' finish out very smoothly are high tai quality, and kill out a high percentage' of marketable meat. The Devon ls' slower of growth than t he other ' breeds, but exe great rustlers and' fatten on pastures which are so thin j that some of the beef 1 breeds could ? bvtfly subsist. The Red Polled ls a dual purpose breed which ranks next' to the milking strain of Shorthorns inj tho production of milk and beef. They j ore not aa well known nor aa popular as tho short born, but have done well i whorovegj. tried in the south. . Any , of the breeds cross well with the nu-1, tivo cattle, and can be used advents-j, geoualy in the breeding up the scrub - herds. 1 By the eradication of the cattle tick, tho usc of good, pure bred beet ? bulla, the Improvement of tho pasture j business, the south win develop into! a great cattle-raising ton. and should contribute largely tu thc sup-, ply ot meat in thc next two decades.
