BRINGS PROFIT
TO FARMERS
More tluin 9,500,000 pounds of butter
was made by 93 creameries in the
Southern States in the year ending
December .31, 1919. Thirty of the 5-1
cheese factories scattered throughout
the mountain regions turned out 481,000
pounds of Cheddar cheese. Silos
modern dairy barns, and purebred
dairy cows are becoming common.
"Fifteen years ago dairying as an i
industry had scarcely started in the j
Southern States,'* said a specialist in '
the Dairy Division, United States De-1
partment of Agriculture. "The South ?
probably has made more progress in t
the last 13 years than any other sec- 1
tion of the country. The increase in i
the number of dairy cows from 1907 1
to 1920 was more than .">0 per cent, i
The increase for the entire United
States during the same period wis t
13.8 per cent." >
Dairy Improvement Has Been Gradual i
While this increase in number of i
cows has been large, it is pointed out s
by men working cooperatively with <
the Federal Government and the :
State agricultural colleges that the 1
improvement in* quality has been of )
even greater importance. Purbreds <
have been shipped in every year in 1

there are 5,184 head of purebred dairy
cattle in South Carolina and 0,586

"Dairy development began in the
Southern States shortly after 1906,"
said one of the specialists, "but the
improvement was slow at first. It
was diflicuit to convince cotton glowers
in my territory that there was
anything for them in dairying. Hut
an object lesson was found finally,
that convinced them. On one side of
a road was a field of cotton that
yielded 2 hales per acre; on the other

cooperatively with the State

One of the first things corrected i
was the poor feeding methods. Cot- [
tonseed meal and hulls formed the!
basis of the ration; farmers had no j
knowledge of balanced rations; silos I
were few in number, and it was not

The value of silage compared with

jven in the days when hulls were
jnly $4 or $5 a ton. A dairy farm
near Biloxi, Miss., where 40 tons of
silage were fed instead of cottonseed i
hulls, reported a saving of $250 for

"From a local standpoint," writes
one of the Federal agents of the
Dairy Division, "the establishing of j
dairying in the boll-weevil districts
of Mississippi has been one of the'
greatest achievements. Anyone . ac-1
quainted with the despondency of
farmers in 1912 in southern Mississ-I
ippi, and who was enabled later to
see the change wrought by the dairy j
cows, will agree that enthusiasm for
dairying is well founded in a region
that was floundering for some means
of livelihood, now changed to a country
in which the farmers are supplying
whole milk for New Orleans and
other points. This means good methods
are being used."

Qramatic Incidents Attending
First Discoveries of
Fields.
The recent discovery of a rich diamond
field in the Orange Free State
recalls the dramatic story of the
first finding of diamonds in South
Africa.
One day, just 50 years ago, Van
Wyk, a poor Boer farmer, saw one
of his children picking out a pebble
from the mud with which his rough,
single-storied house was plastered.
Upon looking at it, he found that it
I was a tiny crystal which, in the
sun's rays emitted vari-colored
lights.
An examination of the walls of his
house revealed scores of simila>
pebbles, which flashed back tin>
rays of light from their dark setting.
His curiosity was stimulated
He picked out a few of the pebbles
showed them to an expert, and discovered
that his humble walls wen
iitterally encrusterl with diamonds.
Thus was revealed the secret ol
one of South Africa's richest hidder
treasures, soon to be famous
throughout the world as the Dutoit
span mine, and destined to yiek
tons of millions of pounds' worth o
diamonds within the compass of ;
single generation. For every tin:
pebble in Van Wyk's mud wain
there were diamonds worth hur.
dreds of thousands of pound
awaiting discovery beneath the bar
ren acres of his farm.
N/t long ago Van Wyk had awak

niles away.
One blazing1 June day, so the stor..s
told, a. young Englishman, named
lawstornc, roaming over the veldt,
run in hand, in search of sport
lung himself down, exhausted by
lis tramping and the fierce heat of
he sun, for a siesta under the scans'
shade of a thorn bush. I
As he was playing idly with tlie
and by his side, he discovered *
jebble which flashed back the sun's
avs in jets of fire. Even to his unvalued
eye the stone thus brough*
, > liglit was a d'amond of uncom*
non luster as well as size, and his
conviction was confirmed when, on
lis return) he showed it to his host.
Thus it was that a fortunate : iesa
revealed the famous Kimberly
nine, the riches of which have daasled
the eyes of the world for a
feneration.
Within a few years after young
Rawstorne's hunting trip the mine
vas yielding an annual 7,000,000
jounds worth of diamonds. Claims
ittle larger than many a drawin**
room were changing hands for 15,000
pounds (.$5,000) and li,00i? pound($85,000)
and the bare veldt on
which he took his rest, and wh^h
le could have purchased for a few
^hillings an acre, was worth almost
uncountable millions.
Nor was the tale of romantic discoveries
bv anv means ended. Rid
ing out one day at sundown to
Diing in his horses from the veldt,
i Boer farmer saw a small animal,
called a meercat, industrially
scraping earth from its hole.
Some peculiarity of the ground so
thrown up led the Dutchman to fill
lis hankerchief with it, and after
iie had stabled his horse by the
light of a small lamp he examined
the earth.
To his astonishment he found i
three-quarter carat diamond. Further
search at the meercat's hole repealed
other diamonds, and the secret
of the Wesselton mine was discovered.
A few months later 450,000 pounds
($1,250,000) was refused for thn
small farm on which the Dutchman
had made his accidental discovery.
The De Beers company was glad to
purchase a quarter of it for 175,000
pounds ($875,000) and since that
Jay it has yielded many of the purest
diamonds the world has known.
De Beers, Dutoitspan, Bulfontein,
Kimberly ami Wesselton, such are
the world-famous mines which have
been discovered within a few mile*
i>f Van Wyk's mud-plastered "farmhouse.
Within the memory of men who
do not consider themselves old, a
fovv Imnrlrpfi timmds at thf> mitsiflf!
would have bought the land which
for so long had hidden its treasures
from the world's knowledge.
Since that time these mines have
yielded diamonds to the value of between
4,000,000 and 5,000,000 pound;
in a single year, and their output
so far has exceeded 100,000,000
pounds ($500,000,000.) And all these
riches have been the fruit of a sequence
of accident almost absurd
in their trivility!?London Answers.
