end that ail farmers may agree and
fully understand that they will re-
duce the cotton acreage in this
county at least twenty-five per cent

of all %ien who have studied this
question that in order for the farm-
ers to obtain a remunerative price
for their cotton, a reduction of acre-
age must be accomplished for this
year 1912.
Believing that this move is for

TO IMPROVE DAIRIES OF SOUTH.
Increase in Production Foundation
For Efforts. Get Good Cows
and Make Better Profits.
a large quantity of milk can be ob-
tained from cheaper rations, and
gives suggestions in the selection
of feeding stuffs. The dairyman is
encouraged to grow more roughage
for his cattle, such as corn for si-
lage, leguminous hay and soiling
crops. Assistance is given in the
building of silos, barns and dairy
houses, and in remodeling old build-
ings to make them more suitable
for dairy purposes.
“Another way the field man aids
the dairyman is in the selection of
dairy machinery, with which he can
make a better grade of butter. A
great deal of what butter is made
in the South is made in guch a
primitive way that it is mottled and
sour, and does not satisfy the de-
mand; hence large amounts of but-
ter have to be brought in from
Northern States.
“Instruction has been given to
dairy farmers in regard to keeping
their herds in a healthy condition,
and the purpose and application of
the tuberculin test. Where possi-
ble, herds have been tested for tu-
berculosis; and where department
agents have assisted farmers in the
selection of new cattle it has been
the practice to have these cattle
purchased, subject to the tuberculin
test.
Learning to Rotate Crops.
"On account of the prevalence of
the boll weevil, Southern farmers
are taking up dairying as a lucrative
business unaffected by the past, and
are learning to rotate crops so as to
reliable! prevent the spread of the weevil.
Dairying furnishes a means of prof-
itable use for the crops.
“The field men assist in the or-
ganization of dairy and live stock
associations. A number of these
have been organized in the past
three years in several of the South-
ern States. One new form of breed-
ing association which the deppart-
ment is now trying to introduce is
the bull association, in which a
farmers and finds one or two meqj group of farmers Join in the pur-
who will carry on herd redord work, chase of one or more purebred bulls,
The Department of agriculture, by
^direction of Secretary Wilson, i*
making special efforts to improve
the dairy industry in the South.
"There is great need in the
South, as wel1 as in other sections
of the country,” said Secretary Wil-
son, “for an increased production
of dairy products, and the Depart-
ment, through its dairy experts, is
trying to bring this about.
“In the first place, it is needful
2that farmers in the South should
iproduce a larger amount of milk, be-
cause the milk and other dairy
products now obtained from South-
•ern farms do not begin to supply
•the needs of the Immediate viqinity.
The consuming public needs more
anUk, and the farmer needs to Itnow
how to make money by supplying it
rat a reasonable rate. Hence both
more dairymen are needed, and a
duller knowledge of modern meth-
ods of dairying.
"One of the things most urgently
aaecessary is to Increase the average
production of milk per cow by cull-
ing out the cows whose yielding
■ability Is small—which take up sta-
ble room, feed and the farmer’s la-
bor without giving an adequate re-
turn therefor. The only
way to distinguish between cows
that are good at the milk paid and
those that are not is to keep rec-
ords of their actual performance.
This practice the department is
bending every effort to get the far-
mers to take up, and these efforts
are meeting with a gratifying suc-
•cess.
"The field man of the department
'goes into a locality, talks to the
Farming by Dynamite.
Beeville, Tex., Jan. 12.—Farming
with dynamite is one of the newest
methods that is beinf demonstrated
in different counties of Southwest
Texas. Public demonstrations have
been made in various sections and
are watched with much interest by
the land owners of that part of the
state. It claimed that this process
of subsoiling can be done better
with dynamite than by any other
means and that the ground will re-
tain moisture longer tthan soil not
blasted. The cost of the work is
not greater than any thrifty farmer
can afford. If the experiments
that are now being conducted prove
successful, farming methods will be
completely revolutionized.
Bexar County Land to be Cultivated.
San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 10.—Dur-
ing the next few months twenty-
nine thousand acres ,of land near

ken stretch, will be torn up by huge
steam plows that have been order-
ed by the Medina Irrigation Compa-
ny. The first plow has arrived,
equipped with 200 horse power, and
will be in operation at once. The
clearing capacity of the plow is
twenty acres per day.

Nor tremble thou lest mast should

But note his orders well, and mind,
