DAIRY INDUSTRY UNDER BOLL-W[EYIL CONDITIONS (By Dr. W. W. Long- --Director of Farm Demonstration Work in South Carolina.) I shall discuss the subject assigned me, namely: "Dairy Industry Under Ball Weevil Conditions," from two standpoint: and then submit a few general remarks. 1. From the stanpoint of the land lord: Dairying has never appealed to the farmers (if South Carolina for the reason that they didr not have to de pend upon this tyl)e of farming for the moking of their livelihood. The South Carolina farmer, generally speaking has a nautral antipthy for the dairy cow, this is especially true if he has to milk. Tiaking into consid ration tihe nun.ber of cows in ti State there art' more women n'lking cows in < uth Carolina than most any otber Ftate in me Ui.... N " t because Scuth Carolinian zmf not ex eeedingly <olsderate of their women folk. for the:; are noted for thcir chivalry, but the milking of a coV is too small a thing to attract the av crage South Carolina farmer. Undet boll wee%-il conditions the dairy cow will have to play one of the most imi porinat parts in furnishing the food and at the same time being a source from which the farmer can derive considerable part of his income. A herd of 25 average cows, figuring on a butter fat basis under normal condi tions. will bring to the farmer each month a check for something like $250 or more. Under boll weevil conditions this check will be looked forward to with unusual interest, for it will keep th' farmer on a cash basis, which is absolutely necessary. The man who will survive this crisis is the man who will keep out. of the hands of the time merchants and banks. I might add keep out of any kind of debt. Take Mississippi, for instance, when the boll weevil first entered Mississippi xhere was not a creamery in the State and a very few people who lived there had ever seen a creamery. They now have 35 creameries and the dairy pro ducts shipped out of the State in 1919 amounted to over $5,000,000. The pro duction of butter increased 30 per cent during the same year. This de velopment of creameries was for the purpose of meeting boll weevil con ditions. While the little creamery at Darlington is now retrunink to the farmers $2,000 per month for milk c and thereby turning loose in the town I of Darlington during the year prac- N tically $25,000, it will furnish a mar- I ket in a very short time for thousands t of dollars of dairy products. We es tablished the creamery at Darlington t a year or two too early. We had hoped to develop the dairy industry at least in a small way before the boll weevil; t arrived. Nevertheless the wisdom of establishing the creamery will be rec- i ognized now in a very short time. 2. From t he Standpoint of the Ten- I ant and Share-croper. Milk is considered onc of the most I valuable of our food products and at i the same time the most economical.|< The tenant and share-cropper must of necessity feed himself ,otherwise < he will bring disaster to the landlordif as well as to himseif. It will be ab solutely necessary for the tenant I and share-cropper, along with the landlord ,to work out some scheme by which the tenant and share-cropper can receive an aimount of milk each day for his family. This may he done t by the teniant ai sha re-cropper own- I in gthe cows and the land1lord furin ishing a general pasturei, or the land lord m1av own the cows a ndi sell to the tenant and share-cropper at actualt co(st (of thle neicessarly a mou nt oIf m ilk I to be mred in their fainililes each day. Of (cour1se. this i:: a matter' of detail that will have to be worked out on ealch I'rm. WithI an abundant supply of milk, a good garden anid sow these I hiaborers can fe d themselv1 es ini a mnost 2 e'onomillical way. U nter boll1 wveevil conditions, it will be( necelssary to see that the mnilk ('ow an sowl Mo(f the ten ant and share-c ropp(er are properly eared for aind Ied a :s it i:n the mule which hel plows.

VII ITEW ASH MAKES TH~E lIEN HOUSE SA NITA RY. Eary in the spring, wvhen every h ing else a roundl the farm is being leaned and put. in shape for the sum ner, a coat of whitewash will add reaitly to the appearance and sanita ion of the interior of the poultry ouse. It 'is the cheapest of all paints nd nmay be used on the exterior of he builing, too, if so dlesiredl.
