Sweetest thoughts will ever linger
Round the graves where they are laid.

THE FARMERS’ PATRIOTIC DUTY
Our country needs our help now—our Government is begging
us to conserve what we have—to produce more food stuffs—to pro
duce more beef and better beef.
More beef and better beef; twice as much beef and thrice as
good beef can be produced with a little more attention and practi
cally no increase in cost by crossing native cows with a good Here
ford Bull.
The Hereford is not the only recognized breed of beef cattle—
it is the best breed of beef cattle. ‘
A prominent South Georgia Farmer recently sold two pens of
cattle—one native steers 3 years old, the other half-breed Hereford :
yearlings. The half-breed Hereford yearlings averaged more than
| 200 pounds higher in weight and brought over 3 centsa pound more
in price.
On the great beef producing ranges of the West there are five
Hereford bulls in use to one of all the other recognized beef breeds
of cattle combined. Don’t you believe these great breeders and
producers know what they are doing? :
Herefords are the best breed of beef cattle known and are
better adapted to conditions as they exist today in the Carolinas, '
Georgia, Florida and Alabama, than any other breed. i
For full and complete information re- :
garding the Hereford breed, write to—

animal. DELLA.
