On the old ranches of Texas fourteen acres of range was allot- ed* to each head of cattle, and they have there much better grazing than are found In this section ex- ' cept on Improved pastures. But thin Texas began to grow alfalfa and one acre will feed and fatten four steers. Of course the same or even greater proportionate value of alfalfa prevails In this seck’onl. Dairymen say unless you have a prepared pasture It la best to con fine milch cows In a lot for they lose rtiSrrt exertion In rambling to Crop a' meal than It coats to grow that amount of feed and give to them in a lot.

If we keep down the production of cot. ton to around ten million bales, growers can with absolute certain ty count on being paid thirty This practice could have but one result—to force the cotton grower to market Ills crop as fast as gath ered, and whloh enabled the buyer and manufacture to flv their own price.
