SALUTATORY
In introducing ourselves to the
good people of Ellijay and Gilmer
county, we propose to make but
few promises, that we may make
but few failures.
The paper will be most emphat¬
ically non-partisan in po’itics, not
run in the interest ot any party
or faction, but a newspaper for
the home, that will at all times
stand for the upbuilding of your
county and children, one that you
will be proud to show to a strang¬
er as “Our County Paper”. Will
not be run in the interest of a
certain few, but its columns being
open at all times for suggestions
on the betterment of the county.
All political matter will be put
in as advertising and charged for
as same, then it must come with¬
in ttie bounds of common reason,
expressed in decoras language'
we being the judge, all parties
being treated alike. In order to
run this kind of paper we will

the citizens of county, as we
expect our labor to be rewarded
by the approval of the subscribers
the honestly earned wages for
labor. We want you to fe«*L at
all times that this is your paper
and not the other fellows.
We would like to receive the
news from the different parts of
the county, and make a call here
for correspondentsfrom each com¬
munity, as they are the life of
the paper.

press, we apply for membership
and fraternal love. Don’t criti¬
cise our enterprise too closely.
We never expect to be provoked
to "flinging mud”. We are not
made that way.

Cheap Protein For Farmers
By Dr. A. M. Soule.
The problem of the dairyman has ever been to supply his cows with
protein in u cheap and abundant form. Theoretically, this may be accom¬
plished by growing an abundance of legumes. In practice it fails to work
out, for while the average farmer may have supplied himself abundantly
with silage as the principal form of roughage, there are very few who have
an adequate amount of cowpea, alfalfa or clover hay on hand. Even with
these materials produced on the farm, a point is soon reached where the
cow enn not consume a sufficient amount of rough^go to supply the protein
needs of her body therefrom, because although she has a very large and
ample digestive system, protein in the form of roughage \ls not concentrated
to anything like the degree which prevails in cotton seed meal^ Thus while
it is kdvlbubiAto rSh VtfieihK hay, it is ’not practicablo v Tt^*B'aft."uL*9 r
concentrates in protein.
At tHte \, Milk Falling Off
season of the yea- large numbers of letters are received fr*m
dairymen complaining about ?he falling off in milk flow and wondering how
they can counteract this tendency. The trouble is attributed, for instance,
to cold wea'hcr, the supposedly natural perversity of cows, the advance in
the lactation period, a bad quality of forage and a deficiency in silage.
Sometimes the herdsman is believed not to feed or water the cows with
regularity and indeed this is often true. Seldom, if ever, however, is the
primary cause of this trouble hit upon or appreciated, namely, a deficiency
of protein in the great majority of rations fed to cows. That this is a wide¬
spread defect is shown by the testimony of the Missouri College of Agricul¬
ture to the effect that the addition of two pounds of cotton seed meal a
day to the ration of a dairy cow which had previously received corn alone
resulted in a surprising increase in the flow of milk. This cow had received
besides tho grain ration of corn, fodder and timothy hay for roughness.
All of these materials are low in protein, yet the above ration is one fed on
in thousands of farms all over the United States. In fact, in many places' andl
the south, timothy hay and other similar foods are beifig purchased
fed as roughage at an excessive cost when something else, like hulls, good
shredded corn stover, peavine hay or mixed hay of any kind would answer
just as well, provided the roughage is properly supplemented with an abun¬
dance of protein In a concentrate like cotton seed meal.
Cheap At a High Price
The conclusion reached in Missouri, namely, that "in spite of the many
things that have combined to raise the price of cotton seed' meal this year,
it is probably the cheapest concentrate to buy for the purpose of improving
and balancing up a ration for dairy cows,” coincides remarkably with our
own experience, that judgment and observation. It appears from the figures
presented tirfs statement is based on a cost price of $38.00 and upwards
per ton for ootton seed meal. Therefore, farmers living in the southeastern
states where cotton seen meal Is abundantly produced and has always been
sold at a reasonable price when its food and fertilizing value is considered,
Bhould have no difficulty In amending and adjusting their rations so as to
greatly One increase the flow of milk.
not familiar with the situation would probably be surprised to find
what large quantities of bran, corn, oats and shorts are shipped into the
Bouth to he used in rations for dairy cows, under the impression that these
are the ingredients which will enable the farmer to provide the cheapest
and most desirable rattan. There are, in fact, farms where cotton seed meal
is not fed, or at least, utilized in the most limited way. Just why there
should be such an abiding faith in these old and very expensive forms of
concentrates is hard to understand. Probably it Is attributable in a measure
to the inherent disposition of the Anglo-Saxon, with his ultra-conservatism,
to hold fast to the old and accept the neV with great caution. If wheat bran,
for instance, c4n be purchased at $1.00 a hundred or $20.00 a ton, the protein
it contains will cost about 8.5 cents a pound. As a matter of fact, wheat
bran can not be bought for $20.00; in most instances it will cost $30.00,
or even higher, Even making the the protein cost nearly 12 cents fie instead of 8.5 cents
a pound. the putting most liberal construction on case and giving
bran benefit of the doubt, however, it only provides available protein
at $38.00 a high cost. On the other hand, cotton seed meal, even though costing
a ton, will provide protein at a cost not to exceed 5 cents a pound.
In other words, every time the farmer feeds cotton seed meal at $38.00 a
ton-in place of bran at $20.00 a ton. he is saving 3.5 cents a pound on the co 3 t
of his protein. One would think that such a distinct and definite advantage
on the part of cotton seed meal wouLd soon result in the abandonment of
bran altogether except for medicinal or tonic purposes.
Can’t Get Protein Cheaper
In this connection, It Is perfectly plain that protein in corn would he
still more costly than in bran. It Is well .to state that, while the farmer
should be encouraged to grow all the protein he can and should utilize le¬
guminous will crops to that end as extensively as possible, it is doubtful if lie
be able to produce this element for much less than the price at which
It can be bought in cotton seed meal.
These facts have been quoted to show that by virtue of the local situation
the southern dairyman is in position to balance up his ration in the element
in which it is generally most deficient at a more reasonable cost than can be
accomplished seed in other section? of the country. These facts show that cotton
meal even at the unusually high price now prevailing is still the cheap¬
est and most efficient source from which to derive the protein so essential
