* ~ SOUTHERN CATTLEMEN TO MEET Big Livestock Body in Columbia February 1-3 Clemson College, Jan. 22.?The biggest gathering to be held in the South this year of people interested in the livestock development of our section will be the annual conven tion of the Southern Cattlemen's Association in Columbia, S. C., Feb-; ruary 1-3. Thds is the statement; made by W. J. Shealy, animal hus-j bandman of the Extension Service' and secretary of the South Carolina ' livestock men, bankers and other business men to the fact that the Southern Cattlemen's Association isj a bodv of live wires including not' J only livestock men but also many others interested in the develop-' ment of the livestock industry. South Carolina is fortunate to se- \, cure the 1921 meeting, says Mr.: Shealy, for there is always a fight'. to secure the meetings, which have , i heretofore never been held this far , east. South Carolina won the 1921 meeting by virtue of a special invi tation from the State of South Carolina backed by the various in terested organizations; and it is hoped that a meeting in the south eastern group of states will be an J inducement to the cattlemen of the * Carolinas and Virginia to join in j * much larger numbers than hereto- c fore. Certainly every progressive stock farmer and other business [ I man who can dp so, should attend jt this meeti ng. I The program which is being pre- j t pared insures a profitable three-day | r session. The speakers already secur-1 " ed include such well known sou- j b them stockmen and specialists as _ Dr. A. L. French, Prof. Dan T. J b Gray, Dr. C. A. Cary, Dr. J. A. I js Kierman and others. i C l c As usual, sales of purebred beef j h cattle will be held each afternoon of, w the meeting.

COTTON IN ARGENTINA New York Times Increased interest is being taken in the cultivation of cotton on a larger scale in Northern Argentina. The centre of this activity is Re sistencia in the Chaco Territory, tvhere a federation of the colonists was formed last year chiefly to give impetus to the cotton Industry. The jrganization is devoting all its re jources this season to the education )f the small farmer in the proper nethod of cultivation and to get uni formity in the cotton crop.
