IX Huadreda ot Farmers Wrra Preaeat for the Stork Judging Content. Some Splendid Addrraaea On Live Suhjeet Were Delivered at Seaaloa. Agricultural College, Sept. 5. This was dairy day at the big roundup at the college.

Mr. C. C. Bardwell discussed winter feed for the dairy cow, advocating the growing of legumes and the building of silos to furnish the feed for the cows when the grass is gone. Mr.

Ames has made a beautiful" farm out of hills and gullies that were for merly fit only to exercise billy goats, hut incapable of furnishing feed. He told of the marvelous possibilities In this line of work In his section. He began with land that it would take 40 acres to make a bllle 01 cotton before It was brought to its present state of fertility. He has fully demonstrated that alfalfa can be grown in the brown loam regions of Mississippi. From one acre of alfalfa he has already secured three and one-half tons of hay.

By terracing his hills and gullies and rsing the roughage for pasturing his dairy cows two and one-half acres of this land will maintain a dairy cow that Is averaging for the herd over one hunflrea dollars gross on the sale of cream alone. The manure from the cattle goes back to the land for its up-kcep and the skim milk Is fed to the hogs and dairy cattle. In South Mississippi Mr. Ferris began with land worth one dollar per acre and through the use of fertilizers from h(s dairy herd and the addition of phosphate can now grow several tons of ensilage per acre. The finding of the fact that these lands need only nitrogen and phosphate to grow fine crops has opened great possibilities for this section.

He Is using the crude phosphate rock with his stable manure which )s greatly Increasing his soil fertility. He advocbtes the silo as the solution to the feed problem. These talks were not along lines of possibilities but were clear cut stories of what they huve actually done. Today when a man quotes his land for sale he especially advertises the fact that they are near these stations. They have at least quadrupled In value because these men have shown the tremendous possibilities of the soils in their respective sections.

Superintendent J. N. Powers was scheduled for a day later the week but because of the fact he had engagements elsewhere was placed on the program this morning, He told of the wonderful work that is being none by the county agricultural schools of Mississippi and the urgent necessity of the co-operation of the I. 1. C.

and the A. M. College in preparing the men and women for the work of leadership In these schools. He told of the great possibilities of rural 1m provements as a result of these schools as they will become tne center of the rural life of their respective com munities. He is trying to Infuse the spirit that pervades Montgomery county, Illinois, into the cltUenship of Mississippi where consolidated high schools are being built in rural com munjties costing from fifteen to twen ty thousand dollars, bach morning the wagons torn- tne roads that lead to the school gathering up the pupils.

This work wil begin in Mississippi in dead earnest. There will be placed in to commission one hundred and fifty wagons carrying children to consoll dated high ischools in counti where they have keen organised. Superintendent Power was follow ed by President Whitfield. He told of the greut work being done by the I. I.

C. for the girls of our state It seems to be the ambition of Pres. Whitfield to make the I. I. C.

to the farm women of Mississippi what the Agricultural Mechanical College is to the farmers of the state. Crowds of farmers attended the stock Judging contest. The big stock ring in agricultural hall was well filled with cows representing dairy and beef type. The judging of the cattle, the visiting of the poultry and horticulture departments is along the line of practical work that Is being done for the farmers who are now In attendance. Prof.

Fox, formerly of the college, discussed the subject as to whether the land owner should buy or raise his stockers, while Mr. Poindex ter, of Ravine, discussed the type of mare from which to breed mule colts. Hay grow'ng In Mississippi was dis cussed by Mr. W. E.

Stokes, president of the Hay Growers' Association of Mississippi. he spirit of the entire occasion is one of optimism for the agricultural future of the Magnolia state. President Hlghtower is delighted at the large turnout of farmers and Is being given full opportunity to Im press upon the farmer of tha state the Idea that the A. M. College is not altogether a theoretical institution but one of practical value to every farmer who wishes to be influenced and helped by its teaching.
