This will interest farmers’ wives, Mrs. James Hamilton, of Pawhuska, Okla., not satisfied with thirty cents a dozen for fresh eggs, developed this idea. She knew how to make food angel cake. Eleven eggs make a cake that sells for a ‘dollar. Cost of other ingredients amount to little. Mrs. Hamilton put her eggs in angel cake aad got nearly one dollar a owe _ "\ vj^Tr** I • * * v Maay farm wives, however, far from ivy aagel cake market, can sympathise with an Irish farmer asked by an afficaenay man, M Do yon know what the doers swimming in that mudhole Wocnd be worth in Lon don?” "I do/' railed the farmer, “and have you any idea what the puddle of water wuld be worth in hell if I had it there?” The market is the problem. • e e Stefansson, Arctic explorer, tests in a hospital, under medical super vision, a diet consisting exclusively of fresh meat and water. Thousands within the Arctic Circle live on such a diet for months at a time, some of them eating as much, as twenty pounds of fresh meat in a day. But it is not a good diet. Men were put on the earth to cultivate it and should eat all of its prod- ucts, the spices and .the oranges of the South, and the red meat from the West. But if compelled to choose between all meat and all vegetables, choose the meat. You probably will not live as long, but you will think more. A vegeta ble diet is not good for thinking. • * * As regards crime, the city of Cleve land excels in police efficiency. The perctn*.ige 83, against 03 in Ba! timore, Jo ’r Kansas City, .16 in Louis.

A TLANTA, GA.—Throughout the central and lower South especially Is it frequently said by many Inter ested in the advancement of agricul ture that In periods of high priced cot ton Interest In livestock farming wanes. By the same token the say ing Is common during periods of low priced cotton that livestock farming will grow in favor. This psychology may have been a factor in the matter of developing a permanent livestock producing Industry in connection with farming in this section. The fact may be, however, that the fluctuation in Interest in livestock raising is not bo great and that the effects upon the Interest of the" southern farmer in livestock of a rising or a falling cot ton market are not so great as the common expressions would lead one to suspect. It must be remembered that farm ers in much of the South have. In recent times, devoted all of their thought, practically speaking, to the production ^f crops. Especially has this been true since transportation was developed and made available for the movement of farm commodity t most common to the South. - Few Livestock Kept*. During the most important period of growth of southern agriculture, espe 1 dally In the central and lower south, relatively few livestock were kept and mainly the livestock on farms was limited to the necessary work stock and a cow for producing the family’s milk and butter requirements. Of course, a few poultry were kept, though the production of poultry and eggs rarerly exceeded the family’s need and never anything like fully supplied the demand In the local towns and cities. Livestock, therefore, as an import ant feature or phase of farm produc tion was, until comparatively recent ly, practically unknown in the best developed farming sections of the cen tral and lower South. This section, therefore, has been and Is yet in need of education ^ along the lines of the value of livestock raising In connec tion with crop-making./ Particularly is this true with respect to the ad vantages from the standpoint of en riching farm lands, marketing grain and forage most economically^ reduc- The State of South Carolina in 1927 collected $1,764,148.76 in income taxes.

The underlpfcqg principles in live stock production and the value nf live stock in any farming program are be ing studied and have been given con sideration in recent years as evidenced by the extent to which livestock farm ing is already carried on upon south ern farms. One simple thing which southern farmers do not seem to appreciate with respect to the farming business is that profitable and satisfying suc cess cannot be realized from poor, worn out, eroded lands_ Only rich lands can be successfully arid profit ably farmed. Lands, It is true, may be enriched without livestock and e pecially is that true in the South, the difficulty in this connection is that too few farmers will go about the matter of so handling their lands as to enrich them and maintain thejri in a highly productive state without such urgent necessity as exists when the farming policy* Includes livestock and thus calls for feed which means a ro^ tation of fields and diversification of ^rop production Williston, March 9.—Within two weeks of thu death of her oldest Son, G.

Because, year in year out, even under adverse growing condi tions, "AA QUALITY” Fertilizers grow bigger, bet- . ter, more profitable crops. i Read the letters at the right. Scores of other farmers in this and neighboring counties say the same thing. Larger yields, better quality, earlier maturity, extra profits—obtained with "AA QUALITY” Fertilizers. Actual crop results prove that there is a decided difference in fertilizers of the same chemical analysis. Chemical analysis does not fully disclose the sources from which the plant-food elements were derived, -neither does it indicate the physical condition of the fertilizer—two very important factors affecting the ctop-producing power. + "AA QUALITY" fertilizers produce more profit for every dollar invested in fertilizer because of the infinite care used in selecting the materials from which the plant-food elements are derived; because these fa mous formulas are based upon a thorough knowledge of crop and soil conditions. Backed by over 60 years of successful crop production. Any farmer will tell you that “AA QUALITY” goods are famous for their splendid mechanical condition.
