New Cotton Uses Offset
Its Decline in Clothing
NEW YORK.— (AP) —ipespite
the decrees of, fashion @nd the
popularity of other fabrigs, the
average person uses momg cotton
cloth than did his ancegstors 30
years ago, according to the Cotton-
Textile Institute. ¢ . ¢
The fact that per | capita con.
sumption of cottont ¢loth is nearly
20 percent greater, tham it was in
1900, despite the: dgcline “in its
use for wearing a}parel is. ex
plained by Paul B. ‘Halstead, sec
retary of the institute.
“The answer is,” explains Mr.
Halstead, ‘that exocessive new
markets for cotton goods notably
in the manufacture of automobiles,
artificial leather, rubberized fab
rics and home decoration”has Off
set the decline in consumption of
cotton for wearing dpparel.”

WASHINGTON—(#)— Brought
to the department of agriculture
by Secretary Jardine to 'do a

useful that he was kept”™ as a
special assistant.
Now, under: Secretary Hyde, he
has been named assistant cheif of
the bureau of agricultural eco
nomies.
Englung was bornl on a farm
in Sweden in 1893. He came to
the United States as a small boy
and engaged in farming in Tevas
and Oregon.
He has a B.S, degree from the
|Ooregon agricultural college and
an A.B. from the University of
Oregon, and has had graduate
work at the University of Wis

and at Harvard.
Since September, 1928, he has

Cotton Exports Decline
As Home Mills Expand
RICHMOND, Va.—(AP)—Cotton
as an export product through
Hampton Roads is being gradually
eliminated through expansion of
‘industries in Virginia and the
Carolinas, says Clarence W. New
man of the research department of
the Virginia State Chamber cf
Commerce.
In 1928 Virginia and the Caro
linas produced 1,660,000 bales of
cotton, but in the year in which
that crop as principally, market

lsumed 3,040.600 bales, Newman

Dairying Profits -
On Clarke County
Cotton Farm
(Agricultural Bulletin.)
When the dairy cow came into
Prominence_as one of the income
producers ‘in the south a good
many farmers debated the ques
tion as to whether she and cotton
could work togethér on the same
farm without the one injuring the
ather.” The story deals with a
farmer of Clarke county, Georggl,
who believed that cows and cd
ton would profitably work togeth
€r on the same farm, and through
figures taken irom records of his
operations, one is able to draw
his own conclusions as to the suc
cess of the undertaking., These
figures are given below. ¥
This farmer took his farm of
2560 acres, which he had been
renting for a cagsh rent, over in
1922 and having another job to
look after he started operating it
on the cropper basis, that is the
cropper did the work and he fur
nished the land and the equip
ment. The fertiiizer bill being
paid the remaihing crops were
sold and the proceeds equally di
vided. This system of labor was
used during the years 1923, 1924,
1925 and 1926. The crops planted
during those years inciuded cot
ton, corn, oats, wheat, peas, and a
mixture of oats, wheat and vetch
for hay and aitalfa. The acreage
in this last crop was increased
from 3 to 25 in the four years.
Cotton, hay and grain were the
principal sources of income,
In 1923 the gross income from
sale of all crops was $5,570. In
1926 the gross income was $3,700,
but the foilowing crops were kept
on the farm to b® fed to a herd
of dairy cows that had recently
been placed there: 600 bushels of
corn, 1,339 bushels of oats, 400
bushels of wheat, 20 tons of oats,
wheat and vetch hay, and 40 tons
of other hay.
Two firmly fixed ideas were in
the mind of this farmer before he
put cows on his farm. These were,
first, hvaing knoweldge of both
cows and cotton be helieved they:
would work together on the same
farm, and secondly by Kkeeping
simple but accurate records he
could at all times te!l how he was
getting along. He started with
the determination that any cow
that would not produce 5,000
pounds of milk testing 4 percent
butterfat or more should not be
allowed to stay in his barn an
other day. :
The preparation heé made for
his cows is worthy of study. Plen
ty of home grown feed was on the
place .at the. time the cows were
placed there. A concrete floor and
stanchions were put into the milk
ing barn. Thkis milking barn was
nothing more than a part of the
old barn worked over to be used
for milking in. >
The part best suited for this
purpose was reworked at a very
small expense and the concrete

Test Meat Tenderness
In Belief It’s Inherited
WASHINGTGN. —(AP)—Scien
tists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture believe the
tenderness of meat is hereditary.
A machine to test the tender
‘has been perfected and is now
being used in a cooperative re
search program with 30 stdte ex
periment stations seeking to iso
late and perpetuate factors of ten
derness.
The simple testing apparatus
consists of a blade so arranged
that it may be drawn through
small pieces of meat by exerting
pressure with a hand crank.
A scale records the pressure re
quired to cut through the meat.
The machine which has been
used to test more than 2,000
samples of pork, beef and lamb is
said to give remarkably high cor
relation with the opinion of judges
who sample and 'score the meat
after it has been machine tested.
floor and stanchions were placed.
into it. It was arranged so as to
be large enough to accommodate
ten cows at a time. This was an-’
other step made by this farmer in’
reducing the initial expense of en
tering the dairy business. Some
fencing was done to enable him to
graze his cows when advisable.
A good man was hired who
liked cows and who could be de
pénded upon to follow instruc
tions. After these requirements
were cared for the cows were
bought. He bought grade Jerseys,
dne or two at a time in the Ath
eéns territory. The cows cost an
average of $61.71 each. These
cows were bought in the fall of
the year and for the following
reasons: First, cows are generally
cheaper at that time of the year
and a great deal can be saved by
buying during these months; sec
ond, the feed for the cows had
been harvested and was in the
barn; and, third, the cows could
be bought fresh when milk was
in demand and also at a_ time
when the breeding system could
be started in right. The Athens
market demands a large supply
of milk during the fall months as
compared to a small demand dur
ing the summer months. Since
cotton was to be grown in connec
tion with these cows this farmer
felt that he could use less labor
on his cows during the summer
'and more no his cotton and other
field crops. This method allows
the cows to be fresh at time of
greatest demand for milk when
plenty of labor can be directed
toward them. The January, 1927,
inventory showed dairy cattle as
follows: 13 cows, 2 calves and 1
purebred bull.

SUBSTITUTES FOR BUTTER
LANSING, Mich. —(&)— The
campagin to eliminate the butter
substitute from the American
dinner table must start with the
farmer, if results of a survey b~
the state department of agricul
ture here mean anything.
Sale of butter substitutes in
87 stores of 16 countries of nor
thern Michigan, regarded as typi
cal of the so-called poor agricul
tural sectoins, reached 214,842
pounds last year compared with
212,675 pounds of butter.
The amount of substitutes con
sumed by farmers was 48.2 per
cent of the total, or 103451
pounds.

Over 2,000 Head
Of Cattle Tested
For Tuberculosis
Over- 2,000 head of cattle have
been tested for tuberculosis in
Clarke county this spring by the
state veterinarian, using the co
operative plan for modified ac
credited area testing. The county
has been covered, except for cat
tle in the city and adjacent to the
Epps Bridge road.
Only three head of cattle have
been found affected, according to
the preliminary report. One of
these came from a herd of tuber
culin cows, and the other two
.came from an owner whjo had sev
eral cases of tuberculosis in his
family. :
Owners of cows in the city are
asked to cooperate with the in
spector and make his work as easy
as possible. “If you are in the
habit of taking your cows to the
pasture during the day, please let
them remain at home on the day
of inspection. lullest cooperation
will greatly lessen the cost of
testing,” according to a statement
issued by Athens and Clarke coun
ty health authorities today.
The expenses' of the testing is
being borne by the federal gov
ernment and the counties. The
testing is a part-of a nation-wide
program of inspection in’ order to
rid this country of tuberculin-in
fested cows.
“Finding of a case of tuberculo
sis in a cow may lead to finding
‘many cases in a herd from which
the cow came, and thus probably
save many lives, The first cow to
be found after the board of health
law requiring inspection at ‘the
abbatoir here went into effect led
to the discovery of 68 more ‘tu
berculin cows in the herd from
which the cow came,” Dr. H. B.
Hodgson, D. V. M., dairy and
food inspector, declares.
