Poultry Demonstrators
Find Green Feed And
Skim Milk Important
College Station—Green feed and
skim milk are ttoro important factors
in egg production, according to May
records of 101 poultry flock demon-
strators sent to the Extension ser-
vice by county and home demonstra-
tion agents in widely separated sec-
tions of the state. In a few ca«es
where no green feed was supplied
the flocks the production Was lower,
_ _ _ and in general where skim milk was
anticipated. Quite"an extensive pro-'**d with grain the production was
gram has been arranged for every higher,
day during the short course. Pres-
ident Walton has sent out a welcome.
He says "Come on."
Those short courses are held each
year for the benefit of the farmers
of the state who desire to learn the
scientific methods of farming and
keep informed at all times.
This mid-summer school is right
at our door and it is a splendid
opportunity for the farmers of the
county to attend with little loss of
time and expense. There is probably
many beneficial points that might
be gained. The meetings not only
enlighten, but they give a splendid
Inspiration.
Reasonable charges are made for
l>oard and room to those who wish
to attend the full session.
A large number of agricultural
writers from over the state and
nation Will be there. They will hold
a conference daily. Soil and water
conservation will be the principal
topics they will discuss.

as be produces much of his food right
on his farm and hardly ever has to
hire labor.
The thing that struck me with most
force after rii;ng over Mr. Hejl's
farm and pestures, was the Way he
is making his nominally cheap lands
produce and pay him every year.
Mcny farmers,, if the y had to till
similar lands, wouid starve to death
in a short time. Mr. Híjl hti not
only made a good living farming his
soils and pasturing his pastures, but
he has accumulated wealth be-
sides. He goes about hi? work
earnestly and systematically. He ha-
built up his soils by fertilizing Ht
terraces. He plants various crops, en-
gages in the uairy busint s, produces
poultry and eggs, grows good gardens
and fruits, plants plenty oí feed and
grows cotton as a side line. I believe
that should he have to do without
or.:- of his crops now, that crop would
be cotton. It takes more work. It
more risky in the long run. Mr.
Hejl is a farmer of the county who
has worked himself in such a position
that he can live and live well Without
the necessity of planting a Single
stalk of cotton. This is a mighty
comfortable position for a farmer to
be in—always feel like he can get
by and make money, if reverses one
way or the other should come.
Mr. Hejl js not the only farmer in
the county who is succeeding in this
Way. He has several contemporaries,
a number of neighbors. They are
scattered all over the county. Those
who are succeeding are the ones who
have worked gradually into the diver-
sified system of farming. This sys-
tem has done more lor the farmers
of the county than any other one
thing. It is really a God-send to
them. Of course, some were practic-
ing a similar system for a number of
years, but they Were not giving the
attention that they should until the
Five Year Farm Plan was promulgat-
The Medicine For

Dr. J. L. Leverett, prominent Paris,

ional attention with his NEW method

and difficult one to solve," Mr. James
points out tha% in order to keep ex-
ed four years ago. This interested
them more, and each succeeding year
many have learned more about it
and have profited to a large extent.
The sponsors, the Burleson County
Chamber of Commerce is appropriat-
ing many dollars each year to further
the work. The farmers of the county
will all do well *n study it and engage
more in it. The sponsors believe that
in the course of a fi* ' more years
the farming business of the county
will he on one of the most substantial
hasis pois.ble. There is one thin
about it, no one can hardly get hurt
financially by following the plan. It
is believed that in the end, they wil!
