PAGE KIQHT DAIRY INDUSTRY OF \ SOUTH TO PROSPER Livestock Raising Will Also Have Added Impetus, Is the Opinion. Washing-ton.?That good will come to the live stock and dairy business industries of the Southern States and that men from other parts of the country have boon enlightened as to conditions in those industries in the South, by l-eason of tiie attendance of many dairy farmers, live stock men and other experts and the presence of many exhibits from the South at the National Dairy Show in Chicago, is the belief of government, experts and progressive Southerners who have returned from the show. It is declared that the eyes of the dairy and related interests of the north and west have been opened as to the possibilities of such industries in the Southern States. J. P. Herring and Dr. J. S. O'Hare represented the board of commission I ers and health authorities of New I Hanover county, at the show, in search of information about the best kinds of cattle to raise for dairy and beef in eastern North Carolina. Members of the New Hanover county com missioners have been contemplating the purchase with public funds of some full-blooded stock for these pur poses, for purposes of demonstration and propaganda in connection with the upbuilding of the herds of that THE CIRCUS THA Mullins, f SATURDAY.

The South should produce the' I dairy products and other foodstuffs it consumes." i This thought is echoed by George R. Wheeler, of Charleston, S. C., man, ager of the South Carolina Landown- , ers' Assiociation, who dwells on the | fact that millions of acres of cutovcr; lands in that state can be used for live stock, while milk is selling in j Charleston for 23 cents per quart and j children of small farms in the coun- j tv\r ? ?? < ? rli>inlrinn> at.mnor Klnrt PuffoP. . Hut Mr. Wheeler has faith that South Carolina will ere. long- be the banner live stock state. Other progressive citizens share his vision. One of them, Courtney Campbell, a Washington young man who went to South Carolina a year 01 two ago, is organizing a chain of stock farms to be operated by a cor- ( poration known as the Carolina Stock ! Farms, Inc. The first of these corporation stock farms is at Foreston, ; S. C., where progress is the order of , the day. Again, E. W. Durant, of . Charleston, is developing two old plan tations having a total area of 10,000 t.cres. Besides picking 240 bales from 190 acres planted in cotton on the rice lands- last year without using any ] fertilizer whatever, he has 300 head i of cattle on one place and 50 head of thoroughbred cows and 200 blooded " Duroc hogs on the other.

Much of the land is drained and cleared, there are good old-fashioned homes, and a man could move intoday and start planting tomorrow, it is said. The rapid expansion of the dairy industry in Missisvsippi is indicated by the fact that the production of butter in the state increased from 17,000 pounds in 1912 to 3,000,000 pounds in 1917, "but the demands of the markets have hardly been touched," says the Hattiosburg Chamber of Commerce. The cutover lands of Mississippi are pronounced by experts to be especially suitable for stock raising, which can be done at one-third less the expense necessary in colder climates. The success of H. L. White has been pronounced in raising thoroughbred Duroc hogs at Columbia, Miss., where he will hold a sale in January of blooded sows bred to a pride $32,000 boar. NARMWdFAF VFTfiM Ilflllliv II kkni V I vll VALUABLE FORAGE Narrow-leaf or Augusta vetch is a Cindrclla of southern soil improvement and forage crops. It has been transformed from a weed in the North into a valuable forage crop in the South.

Covers Wide Territory. !, i * Narrow-leaf vetch is closely rela:- ^ id to common vetch, being distinguish L ?d from the latter by its narrow leaf- < lets, snuvll flowers, black pods, and . round, small seeds. It is naturalized \ :nd tlioroughly established from . Georgia to Pennsylvania, and occurs even a far noi th as Nova Scotia. ( Ksj xia'ly in Georgia it is highly ap- . prcciatcd in the vetch-growing so tion.-: and sometimes makes up a con- ( siderab'c portion cf the hay. The . United Str.t s Department of Agrieulturc anticipates that this species of vetch will be more largely grown in the future. Recently a variety that does not shattei its seed so easily and hence is suitable for production as a commercial seed crop has been discovered. Peculiarly enough, many northern; wheat fields, particularly those in ' Minnesota, are contaminated with j annual visitations of narrow-leaf j vetch, which, in this section, bears the reputation of a weed. This seed is separated from wheat and other | small grains and is disposed of as a waste product or screening. Although much of this waste seed has been utilized in commercial stock feeds, a considerable portion has been ex ported to the Southern States and offered there as seed on the open market.

C., OCT. 13, ltit, es, object to Northern vetch seed be* cause of its generous content of cockle. Some also question whether the vitality and vigor of the Northern vetch when grown on Southern soils are as marked and notable as those of the. native vetch varieties. The United States Department of Agriculture is now investigating the adap tability of the Northern vetch seed, reclaimed in wheat milling, for use on Southern pastures and sods. It is possible and practicable to save the native narrow-leaf vetch seed of the South for subsequent sowing operations, but this is expensive. How ever, the seed of the new variety of vetch which does not shatter so easily should, to a large extent, solve the problem. DUSEN BURY-CLARKE. Monday afternoon, October 20th, 1919, at 2 o'clock the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. B.
