V. Btarkey, head of the Animal Husbandry Depart ment. He believes, therefore, that this is the time to hang on to the good brood sows, and if possible en large the beef cattle herds. “The present high prices of feeds will stimulate production,’ and if the reduction in cotton acreage rmtlnwM to hold there should be ample opportunity to increase feed crops and 'pastures to the paint where we can realiae a substantial income from livestock”. Prof. Star- key says, 4 Tt should toe remembered that the purpose of livestock is to mar ket home-grown feeds. If feeds must be bought, the livestock will not generally return a profit; but the farmer who grows his own feeds and markets them through live stock will finally win out, because each year his land will become more productive.” OPERA HOUSE ABBEVILLE, S.
