more than 16 million dollars in tax
exemptions have been granted for
establishment of new plans this year.
Tax exemptions, incidentally, is
one of the methods for attracting
some of the new industries. The
Southern states, however, offer a
great deal morer—a new supply of;
homogenous skilled labor who got;
their know-how in war plants; ex
panding markets with a rising aver-
i age income of consumers; a mild
fclimate permitting year-round pro-

; improved transportation.
| It is noteworthy, too, that the
South at last, shows initiative and
enterprise—or just a plain, ‘'go-git-
'em" attitude—in expanding its in
dustrial capacity.

is tressed on any other breed, the
offspring grows more rapidly than

the age of five or six months will

Amaz.ng as it may seem, many in-

Branma bull has been bred to a mon
grel cowl and the offspring has at
tained a weight greater than its sire
and dam combined. This is due to
what biologists call heterosis or hy-!
brul \ igor. That principle is well
known to farmers through their ex-
penenees with hybrid corn and hy-,
brid stock of various kinds.
Pure-bred cattle in the American
Brahman Breeders association are
animals of 90 per cent or more of
Brahman blood. This was done be-
cause o: the scarcity of 100 per cent
Brahmans in this country.
The Brahmans are the only
known breed of cattle to which the
cattle t;<jk is not fatal. This is of great
value in the deep South.
Records do not show a case of
Brahman cattle having pink eye or
cancer eye.

of cattle that sweats like a horse.

Compared with British breeds of
beef cattle such as the Hereford and
Angus, the Brahmans, by actual test,
have been found to weigh nearly
100 pounds more per head at about
seven months of age and they dress
a higher per cent, there being a lar
ger proportion of flesh to bone, in
their carcasses so that they yield
more edible meat. These are some of
the more important points of sup
eriority ol Brahman cattle over other 1
type of cattle. The Brahman breed
ers, however, list more than 50 other
advantages which they have over the
other breeds.
As one travels over the South to-

are taking advantage of the qualities!
of the Brahman and especially ofj
that strange biological law, heterosis
where under an extra hundred pound
of extra fine meat can be added to
six-months-old calves by the use of
a Brahman bull. While they thrive
in any climate, they are especially
adapted to the South.
