Victoria. Possibly it was because her
virtues were exploited so much: one
soon gets too much of that. But years
ago I read that, as a g.rl, V ictoria

and it ga%e me a pleasurable thrill,
for I believe in training of that sort.

practically nothing of value in pro

finally demonstrate their .supremacy

Southern agriculture cannot be
profitable as it should be; and as it
will be after livestock is added to bal
ance the situation.
Take the cotton farmer as an ev-
ample. There are farms where a one
sided agriculture with cotton is prof
itable bat as a general thing this is not
true. Labor on an all-cotton farm is
loaded heavily while the crop is being
made and gathered. In the interims
between making and gathering and
gathering and making, labor is idle
except as to minor farm work.
With more livestock this would not
be true. Livestock requires attention
every day in the year. Consequently
labor is not idle several months but is
producing every day of the month in
the year. It is on the job continuously.
And efficient use of labor is esseii-
tial to maximum income from farm
ing. This is true of the business man,
of the bfinker, and of the professional
man. Those who are employed in in
dustry and in commerce, or engaged
in the professions have no long idle
periods, except, of course, when labor j
is out of work. They work steadily all
the year.

Making -the Southland
a Neighborhood
For many years the great distances that separated
the spacious plantations and the scattered citiea ol
the Southland isolated the southern states Irom
one another and from the rest of the world.
But no longer is the South isolated. Today it haa
taken the place it deserves in the nation’s industry
and commerce. Modem transportation by land,
water and air carries the products of southern
farms and factories to all parts of the world.
An important factor in this modem era is the
telephone. Whether you depend on it to carry your
voice around the comer, across the continent or
over the Atlantic, you will find it ready lo aerve
you—speedily, efficiently, economically.
This company ia ever alert to reduce telephone
distance, to make larger telephone neighborhoods.
To that end we are spending over $30,000,000
during 1929 In the nine southeastern states that
we serve.

do so are held in economic slavery.
To state that livestock will help the
soil is nothing new. It is a fact which
is as old as agriculture. European
farmers knew long before this coun-
I try was settled that livestock impfov-
j ed their land and made all farming
more profitable.
Livestock farming keeps plant food
on the farm. It also requires pastures;
and pasturing improves the land. In
stead of selling plant food^the farmer
fefeds it >4o 'livestock which returns
! most of it to the soil. When livestock
' j‘is maii^eted ^ soil is not robbed.
; More efficient use of land is the
fourth advantage from livestock. The
South has millions of acres of idle
land. Much of it will never be profit
able for making crops but it can be
made to pay if used for pasturing.
Such land is kept at a dead loss if it
jis not pastured, or if timber is not
I grown on it.

I land but uses only , 100 of it is like

Along wi^h the foregoing-advantag
es, livestock calls for better farming
in general. For example, livestock
farming requires home production of
feed, and home production of feed re
quires more machinery for making
feed at a low cost. With more power
and machinery crop farming will be
improved because one man can do
more work; and, in doing more work,
he earns more money.
Throughout many Southern states
there are farmers who have added
j cows or other animals to cotton and
j are making as much or more cotton
I as they did before livestock was add-
j ed. In addition, they have their live-
I stock income and they have improved
! and are improving their land.

Another reason for adding more
livestock—dairy cows, beef cows, hogs,
sheep, and poultry—to Southern farms
jis the fact that consumption of live-
^ ■ stock and livestock products in the
I South is increasing. This means a
i better market at home.
Every reconditioned car wt offer for sale is
identified by means of the Chevrolet red
“O.K. that Counts” tag. This tag is the
purchaser’s assurance that the car to which
it is attached has been gone over carefully
by expert mechanics-.-that it has been
thoroughly reconditioned—and that the
price is based on the car’s actual ability to
render service.
Due to the overwhelming popularity of the
new Chevrolet Six, we have on hand at this
time an unusually large group of these
“O.K.’d” cars. Come in! You are certain
to find the car you want—at a price that
will save you money. Make a small down
payment and drive your car away!
