THE MONROE ADVERTISER
VOLUME SEVENTY-SIX:
ROY YOUNG, A NATI\ONALLY
. KNOWN LECTURER AND VIOL
" INIST, SPEAKS BEFORE THE
- | WOMAN’S CLUB NOV. 10.
: The regular meeting; of the For
a;yth Woman’s Club will be ‘held at
the home of Mrs. O. P. Ensign Mon
day afterhoon, Nov.'_log at 3 o’clock.
Tbe club has engaged for the meet
ihg Mr. Roy Young, a lecturer on
birds and violinist, who is to give a
concert at the Bessie Tift audito
rium Tuesday night, November 11.
Mr. Young is well known both as
a lecturer and concert artist. His
bird compositions have won _the
praise of the greatest artists, such as
Ysaye, Sschumann-Heink, Kubelik,
Emma Eames and Erna Rubenstein.
The Musical Courier speaks of him as
:the “world’s greatest descriptive vi
“olinist” and the Chicago Musical
Leader as “a genius.” He is an ar
tist in the true sense of the word, ar
_tistically, intellectually and person
ally. ,
' Mr. Young has made a specialty
of studying birds and interpreting
their songs for fifteen years. He is
devoting his life to this work. He
plans to visit every region in the
United States where birds abound
and translate their songs. Mr. Young
believes that birds can teach us a
great deal about music that humans
never dreamed of, and that the birds
profit from human instruction, as,
he says, he has already demonstrated. !
“Birds are separated into social;
classes, one might say, based on theirj
musical abilities,” explained Mr.
Young. “Birds that sing the better
music will not associate with those
that- would. be. styled ‘jazz’ artists,
deviating into popular parlaneeé for a
ready means of classification.
_One critic writes of Roy Young:
“All at once he placed us in a great
forest, where we were loathe to
breathe lest we disturb some golden
throaed bird caroling his wondrous
melody.”

October 18 was 8,098 bales as com- ||

INEGRO FEEDS STOCK |
| IR
(CARROLL COUNTY COLORED
| FARMER FINDS HIS MULES
| THRIVE ON DIET AND SAVES
HIM HIGH PRICED CORN.
| Ralph S.'m‘i'th, Atlunta Journal stats
| writer furnighes that paper the fol
lowing interesting story in his col-
Jumn, “Crackerland” : '
| A new wrinklé and welk worth
| while, comes to light over in Carroll
|county—a new wrinkle that estab
|lishes a humble Negro farmer as the
| benp!actor“of cotton planters every
|where! Henry Park, a tenant on
| Col. Bid Holderness’ broad acres, is
|feeding his stock on cotton seeds,
and the stock like them! Which
' means, obviously, that Henry Park
Ino longer worries about . his short
| grain crop and corn at $1.25 a bush
|el! He has cotton seed a plenty,
{what with pasturage, to carry him
fthrough the winter, and every time
|his stock eats a bushel of seed the
old Negro figures he has made a dol
{lar—for “a dollar saved is a dollar
| made.”
To fully realize and rightly ap
| praise the innovation of the Carroll
county :Negro it is necessary to un
|derstand that at the market cotton
|seed is selling for only 27 cents a
bushel, as against 80 cents a year
ago. And without having consulted
!a chemist and ascertained the relative |
food value of cotton seed, oats and |
corn, the Negro has found that one- |
third bushel of seed equals one-half |
bushel of oats and one-fourth bushel |
of corn. :
| “Os course,” explained Col. Hol-|
derness in disclosing the ‘“new wrin
kle,” “Henry Park first boils his seed
{before feeding it to his mulés. nl
Boiling lays the lint thdt’s left on
the seed as'they come from the gin,|
thus enabling the stock to swallow |
the seed, hulls 'n’ all! He adds just|
a pinch of salt when he puts the seed ‘
in the pot— |
“‘And then,’ says the Negro, ‘I 1
puts them in the feed trough ’'n’ next ‘
mawning all of 'em’s gone, and the|
mule is ready for the plow! ” ]
Translated into money, Henry ]
Parks’ “discovery” that mules eat
and thrive on boiled cotton seed,|’
means $10,000,000 to the farmers of |'
Georgia alone, and $10,000,000, or 1
the half of it in these parlous times, |*
is a lot of money! ]
“You can figure it fairly and con- g
servatively this way,” says Col. Hol- |
derness. “The Georgia cotton crop t
for this year will approximate 1,- !
500,000 and that, roughly, means|®
37,500,000 bushels of seed, which at |
the ridiculous price now prevailing <
means about $10,000,000 as against I
$30,000,000 the same quantity of |!
seed would have sold for last year. |
“Since stock eat and like cotton
seed, as ‘discovered’ by Henry Park,
it is uneconomical for the farmers of t
the South to sacrifice their seed and |°©
buy, or attempt to buy, corn at $1.25 | -
a bushel—especially since a bushel of
seed goes almost as far as a bushel of
corn in the feed trough, and further
than a bushel of oats.”
Col. Holderness insists that the
Southern farmers have never been
treated fairly with respect to their
cotton seed. He claims that they
are worth far ‘more than has ever
been paid for them, and that the
present quotation is ridiculous.
“I believe that cotton seed should
sell on a parity with lard,” said the
Carrolltonian. “The oil from the seed

!is better and more nutritious, It en-'
ters into far more commodities that .
are edible, and it will do all and more
than lard will do. - |‘
“Not until the old Negro on myl
farm began feeding his mules with
cotton seed had I ever heard of themi
being used for stock. It means a
whole lot to me and it shonld mean
just as much to other farmers 4who‘
face the winter with scarcely anyi
corn in their cribg and cotton selling
under 10 cents a pound,” =
