Seed or sod pastures with tame grasses. Native pasture grasses can not be depended on. Freshen up the dairy premises with whitewash on all buildings and fences which have not been painted.

S 1 :' De partment of Agriculture and other available facts applying more specif ically to South Carolina, in the hope that the South Carolina outlook might serve to some extent as a guide for planning farm operations. A limited number of copies will be available for persons specially inter ested. Regarding tendencies the outlook calls attention to the fact that in the Coastal Plains area farmers are specializing in some one crop other than cotton, especially asparagus, to bacco, hogs, poultry, and truck crops, and this is being done by counties or regions; and that in the Piedmont area sources of income oth er than cotton are being developed, fruit crops, dairying on a small scale, truck for local market, poultry, and feed crops. Regarding the outlook for cotton the circular says that present indi cations are that the 1928 cotton crop will be sold on a market influenced by a smaller carryover than that of last year and the same probable con sumption; and that two factors other than acreage will determine this state’s cotton production,—namely, the amount of fei'tilizer used and boll weevil damage. txt Coolidge Admirer of Jackson— Headline.

In a number of States testing cat tle for tuberculosis in every county has become so much the rule .that eradication is practically on a state wide basis. North Carolina leads in this movement, and cattle in about nine-tenths of its area have been tested. It is probable that before the end of 1928 the few remaining coun ties will have finished testing, in which case North Carolina will be the first State to be recognized officially as free from bovine tuberculosis. on’t dose Childs Cold Continual dosing upsets children’s delicate stomachs.
