Farmers and Labor
Must Have Help
Atlanta, Ga., May 20.?Claude G.
Mowers, New York editor and author
tonight warned that aid must bo given
agriculture and distressed labor if
the present social order is to be preserved.
? - - These
problems, he said, call for a
higher and better trained leaderships
than the nation has ever known. "We
can not rely upon a leadership that
has had no new ideas in 60 years" he
added.
Mr. Bowers spoke at commencement
exercises at Oglethorpe university
and was awarded an honorary
degree of doctor of laws. Other
degrees were Wilfred J. Funk, president
of Funk and Wagnalls, New
York publishers doctor of letters; and
Dean Archibald Wellington TV*ylor of
the school of commerce and Anance,
New York University, doctor of commercial
science. /
Mr. Bowers said U,000,000 people in
the United States were unemployed
and in addition 30,000,000 on the
farm were either bankrupt or on tho
verge of bankruptcy.
Old Arsenate Kills Cows
Bamberg, S. C., May 29.?The
dumping of a quantity of old and
lumpy calcium arsenate in an old
field on the farm of James B. Guess
at Denmark nearly ten years ago Is
believed to h^ve cost Mr. Guess 30
rruilk cows.
Mr Guess turned his herd of 84
cows on the old field recently. A. few
days later several of them became
sick and 30 of them died. A chemical
examination indicated they died
from arsenic poisonling.

Let's Co-operate
With The Birds
(Viola >\ Kit-hauls, in "Our Dumb
Animal*.")
it is years since the -wild birds first
learned that there is a never-failing
food supply to be found at Bird-haven,
our little two-by-four sanctuary
in South Deerfield, Mass. We who
Ktrnish the food are rewarded by a
never-failing abundance of bird life
around our home, and an ever-decreasing
number of insect pests. In
winter .the birds flock to the feedingboxes
and .window shelves, and in
summer they nest in the trees, shrubs
and nesting boxes on the acre of land
upon which our house stands, and
often bring their fledglings to the
familiar lunth-counters for food.*
Birds that frequent Sugar Loaf
mountain just north o fus, the swamp
on,the west, the not-far-distant banks
of the Connecticut River and the
tnea'dow-land, all visit us; and during
mjgtation seasons one may expect
pleasant surprises at any time.
Such a surprise was ours one day
during the World war wl\en there
sounded from an ap)rie tree in the
yard an unfamiliar bird song, and
at the first hearing, before imagination
had had a chance to work, the
words "Liberty, liberty, liberty," fell
on our ears, and the call was repeated
while the singer searched for insect
eggs and larvae. Hq proved to
be the ruiby-crowned kinglet, a bird
which we had never se^n before.
Since then I have often heard this
bird, but instead of the thrice repeated
call for liberty, which it had
voiced so plainly, it now says, "Jibberty,
jibberty, jibberty."
During the nesting season an interesting
race is always in -progress
when the inmates of the house vie
with each other to see who can dis^,
cover the. greatest number of nests
on the premises, And this does not
mean that the nesting birds receive
annoying attention. Most of the
nests are located by watching to see
where the ,birds carry the nesting
material wdalwnys put out, such as
short/lengths of twine, short and
narrow stripe- of white cloth (the
birds seem to prefer white), cotton
batting and whatever other promising
material we come across. One
year we furnished narrow strips of
white tissue paper which had been
used iis packing, and this was very
popular with the birds. Yellow
wadblers and chebecs always come for
cotton, as do the redstarts, and orioles
and robins use the twine.
We once saw a tug-of-war between
an oriole and a chipping sparrow who
wanted the same length of string.
Strange to say, the chippy won, and
we had the pleasure of seeing her
weave it into her nest.
Our little incident shows how the
birds have learned to trust us. Two
or three years in succession a song
sparrow's nest was discovered on the
ground back of the barn, and each
year some prowling marauder made
way with the baby birds. When next
nesting season came, another nest
was found in the same place and was
catefully watched by my father, who,
when the babies were hatched, encircled
the nest, at a little distance,
with hen fencing, and not the least
interesting as well as gratifying part
of this incident was the fact that
while Father was placing this protective
fence, the mother bird remained
on tiro nest and watched him.
We commonly find fifteen or twenty
nests' within the boundaries of our
small sanctuary, which means a
chance to observe the -habits of many
different birds -without much effort.
It Is such music as only thrushes,
catbirds) rose-breasted grosbeaks and
many others make that gladdens our
hearts and 'makes life easier to live.
Cb-operate with the birds. They
need us and we need them.

Dairying is Still a
Good Proposition
Kealixing that many of our farmore
are soim-what downcast and dis?
courag<<! due to the general economic
condition, your county agent thought j
it well to recall a few facta relative
to the dairy business.
First of we should thoroughly
realise that the demand has been
tl^t there is ho turning back in this
game of life and we might as well
devote our thoughts and energy a-!
long constructive lines. Of course I
realise that it is hard to keep from
worrying a great deal ut, times, nev-1
erthelcss it is quite necessary to
make the stronger part of our intelect
and reason predominate ov$r
sentimental farvdes, hobbying the
thoughts of what used to be and
what we would like to have, etc. The
task ahead of us now demands the
best that is in real men and the
sooner we face the real facts and
conditions and buckle down to some
definite constructive work the better
off we will be. The condition we will
Wind ourselves in five years ffom now
will depend to a large extent on
what we do and how we think now.
'Small scale dairy business in connection
with our general farm activities
probably offer one of the best
methods of obtaining some cash money
which is so necessary under our
present status of living. While the
money to be derived from the sale
of milk from a few cows is rather
small in amount yet it is more or
less certain and constant.
The price of dairy products is not
now as low as other farm products
in proportion. For instance, the 19091914
price average for farm products
shows that .the volume of dairy products
it took then to bring $1 will
bring you the biggest proportion of
the dollar of any farm commodity
units on the basis of present farm
markets.
While dairy products have dropped
in price and value along with other
farm products it should be remembered
that many of the things that
farmers buy are down in price also.
This is not true to any appreciable
extent, however, in the case of farm
machinery, fencing and other metal
goods. ,
A good dairy cow fed on homegrown
feed'and having the access to
a* good pasture will return to the
farmer approximately $1 per week j
from the sale of sour cream on an
average. This means from BO to 5-2
dollars per year cash income from
eftoh cow. In'Addition wo should not
overlook the import a nee of thp skim
milk which is left on the farm for
the production of pigs, chicken* and
calves. Where sufficient skim milk
is available it is not necessary to
purchase meat scraps, fish meal, or j
other commercial proteins for the |
production of pigs, chickens,1 etc.1
Also the manure for fertilizer is left
on the farm which builds up .the production
of the soil for more' economic
production of crop*, automatically re-1
ducing the necessity for spending
cash money for commercial fertilizer
which has been one of the big millstones
about the necks of. our farmers
for many years past. Furthermore,
the natural increase of a properly
managed herd will build up an
estate which would probably not be
built up under any other system of
farming com mod to this section.
The purchasing power of a unit of
cream in exchange for things the farmer
usually buys (outside of hardware,
etc.) is about as high as when
cream was selling- at 30c per pound
butterfat.
- It is the belief of the county agent
that wo are now nearing the bottom
of the price decline and under these
conditions there would be contain advantages
in starting now in a small
way in tho dairy business. For instance,
a good registered bull calf
from high producing stock may bo
purchased now nt from 10 to 25 dollars,
whereas 2 years ago the same
class animal would have cost approximately
$100. Likewise, good female
foundation' stoeto, either young cows
or heifer calves, may be gotten to
advantage.
It should be remembered -at all
times that one of the essential factors
in successful dairying or any
kind of livestock production is adequate
feed and the cheapest feed for
cows is pasturage, the next cheapest
being legume hay. Therefore, farmers
contemplating developing a dairy
business should start as early as possible
to develop a good permanent
pasture, advises Henry D. Green, the
county agent.

Change Pastures;
Benefit Livestock
Clomson Colloge, May 28, Arguments
in favor of changing pastures
frequently include first of all the control
of internal parasites, which are
I the bane of southern livestock producers;
and secondly the fact that it
gives the livestock "a clean pla-ttor"
and gives the pasture a chunco to rest
and recuperate, says Prof. L. V.
Starkey, chief of animal husbandry
here. Against ithe belief that changing
pastures requires more pasture
area Prof. Starkey states that the
same acreage will carry more livestock
if the livestock can be shifted
from one pasture to another.
It is generally believed that cattle
should be loft on one pasture two
to three weeks--certa!".'.,, not more
than three weeks. As to how long
ono Should koop livestock off the pasture
before turning, them on again,
the longer tho time the better, generally
speaking, because this gives'
parasites a chance to complet? theif
life history and, not finding a host,
perish before the livestock is again
turned on. .> * *
A good syatom, Mr. Starkey suggests,
is to have at least three pastures.
The chief hindrance to having
several pastures is the cost of
fencing and sometimes the water supply
is an important factor.
i The larger the acreage in pasture
the loss necessary it is to havo three
or more pasturse, but even in largo
acreages, parasites can be controlled much
more effectively by rotation v
than by the use of drenches which,
though more or less successful, havo
a tendency to upseit the digestive system
and thus retard growth' and
gains. In other words, Prof. Starkey
thinks that Sduth Carolina farmers
would save thousands of dollars annually
through an ample pasture
system for air livestock.
A straightforward man told Judge
Watkfns in federal court at Anderson
this week that he robbed a mail box
in order to bo sent to jail to get something
to eat. iHe-wrote his name in
the dirt under the box and left a
piece of paper with his name written
on it nearby. He was sentenced to
three months .in the Spartanburg
county jail.
