H. H. BLANKS, Trustee. ADVANTAGES OF 3IOKE STOCK The South raises less livestock now than fifty years ago when plantations felt it necessary to produce as nearly as possible everything needed on the place. Farm magazines are constantly advocating a return to more livestock.

In The Progressive Farmer Dr. Clarence Poe presents these four reasons why a combination of livestock and crops pays better than raising crops alone: "1. It provides more working days a year. Without livestock there are not enough days, especially in winter, late fall, and early spring, in which the farm family can be profitably employed. To work on a one-crop farm is like working for a factory running only 150 days a year.

"2. It provides more opportunity for intelligence. In feeding, breeding, handling, and marketing livestock, dairying, and poultry there is a greater opportunity to apply knowieage, skih, carefulness, and business juagment than in mere crops farming. Hence crops combined with livestock will better reward intelligent farmers and will more severely punish ignorance and carelessness than in the case of crops alone. "3.

It better maintains soil fertility. to requote Dr. H. A. Morgan: 'Livestock is an essential factor in the mineral-plant-animal cycle basic to all sound In other words, soils feed plants; plants feed animals; animals (through manures) feed soils.

"4. It provides thrift and year-round income. Two reasons why the farmer who 'balances crop with livestock makes more than others are (1) that livestock, dairying and poultry provide year-round income rather than a once-a-year income: he can live on a cash basis instead of paying usurious time prices. (2) There is always an incentive to thrift and saving in the desire for more or better animals, barns, or silos while cotton and tobacco farmers often receive all a year's clear money in a 90-day marketing period and 'spend it all before The Progressive Farmer.

21-22-23 Report From State Treasurer BATON ROUGE, April 10. The State Treasury showed a cash balance of $16,478,648.77 in all funds at the end of the first quarter of 1940, State Treasurer P. Tugwell reported this week. Receipts for the quarter amounted to $31,282,678.95, while expenditures totalled $30,282,667.77, Mr. Tugwell said.

Overdrafts reached $4,113,610.95 at the end of the quarter, while items in suspense amounted to $1,435,782.76. The balance on hand when the quarter began totalled $16,080,614.04, and the cash balance for March 31 showed an increase of nearly $400,000. Legal Department For Jones To Open Monday BATON ROUGE, April 11. A legal department for drafting the incoming administration's legislative proposals will begin functioning here Monday, Governor Designate Sam Jones told reporters tonight. He said a branch office would be opened at the same time at New Orleans.

Jones said he would request the deans of Tulane, Loyola and Louisiana State University law schools to serve with the department along with others whose services he said would be offered voluntarily. "The department will begin drafting bills, investigating and checking on laws and getting our program ready for consideration by the legislature," he added. New Improved Ceresan Best Material For Treating" Cottonseed UNIVERSITY, April 10. Results of many seed treatment experiments conducted throughout the cotton belt during the past five years have shown that New Improved Ceresan is the most satisfactory material for treating cotton seed for control of seedling diseases, according to Dr. D.

C. Neal of the bureau of plant industry who has been working on this problem in cooperation with the L. S. U. agricultural experiment station.

Cotton growers are advised to treat their planting seed with this material to improve stands and reduce losses due to seedling diseases. Rate of treatment should be 1 (one and one-half) ounces of New Improved Ceresan per 32-pound bushel of fuzzy seed, according to Dr. Neal. Mechanically delinted seed also have given excellent stands in Louisiana when treated with this material. A container which can be closed tightly is necessary in using the treatment because this chemical is highly volatile and unless a tight fitting lid is used its concentration will be altered.

Metal drums, sizes 38 to 50 gallons, or empty calcium arsenate drums may be used. The drum should be equipped with a handle and with baffleboards inside and should be bolted to uprights so that it can be slowly rotated during the treatment, which requires about 10 minutes. To guard against getting dust in eyes or lungs, operators should use a soft cloth over the nose and goggles over the eyes. After the treatment the seed may be sacked and stored in a dry place until planting time. This treatment is inexpensive and is recognized as insurance for a stand of cotton, especially when unfavorable weather follows planting.

MANGHAM FEDERATED CLUBS TO SPONSOR BINGO PARTY The Mangham Junior Literary Club and the Bono Nostrorum Club will celebrate the golden jubilee year of federated clubs when they sponsor a bingo party in Mangham, Thursday night, April 18.

Through the development of a new wide base rim and a dual purpose tire bead design, the basic shape of pneumatic tires for farm tractors has undergone a revolutionary change to give regular size tires many of the advantages of oversize tire equipment without extra cost, according to an announcement by The Firestone Tire Rubber Company. With the new dual purpose bead construction, a standard size tire is equally adaptable for mounting on either the old narrow base rim or the new wide base rim. When the wide base rim is utilized, the tire is changed from its customary circular shape to an open shape. This greatly increases the cross section of the tire, adds to the air space and contributes to greater flotation in extremely wet and muddy operating conditions or in loose, sandy soil. The increase in cubical content of the tire provides additional space for water ballast to increase traction when necessary.

Greater efficiency in traction is attained, because more of the tread surface comes in contact with the ground. This enables the tread bars to get a more extensive grip in the soil. The increased area of tread contact naturally insures longer wear. Wide base rims and tires are already listed as standard equipment by leading- tractor manufacturers, and conventional tires with dual purpose beads and the wide base rims are now available to' owners who contemplate changing over steel to rubber tire equipment. Installation of this new equipment requires the same cut-down procedure that is ordinarily used in changing from steel to the conventional type tractor tires.

Greater Buying Power For Farmer's Dollar Three developments of interest to the American farmer are reported in a review of the natural nitrate industry which has just been published by the Chilean Nitrate Educational Bureau. These developments, affecting the price of natural nitrate, its mechanical condition, and the bags in which it is sold, show, among other things, considerable increase in today's buying power of the farmers' dollar. Turn back the calendar to 1927. That year new and more economical mining and refining methods went into operation. Price reductions followed.

Today the price of natural nitrate of soda is about $20 per ton less than in 1927. Mechanical condition has steadily improved. Today farmers everywhere are familiar with the famous natural nitrate pellets which are so easily applied and which resist the hardening and caking to which other nitrogen fertilizers are subject. The improved form of this hundred year old product retains, of course, the natural balance of many plant food elements besides nitrate. Thirdly, in a large-scale effort to assist in developing new uses for American cotton, natural nitrate of soda was offered in even-weight cotton bags.

Today farmers can have their natural nitrate delivered either in cotton or burlap bags, as perferred, at no difference in price. THE PRESBYTERIAN AUXILIARY The Presbyterian Auxiliary met with-Mrs. A. R. Cates Monday afternoon, April 9th.
