Live  Stock  at  tbe  South 
On  <1  ii tic  27t.h  Ikere  will  be  a  live 
stock  eoiifei'euce  at  Moultrie,  Georgia. 
The  object  of  this  coufernee  is  to  discuss 
methods  for  developing  the  live  stock  in¬ 
dustry  throughout  the  South.  Moultrie, 
it  is  said,  offers  u»  illustration  of  til  '  way 
a  ii.cal  inarkel  for  food  animals  can  be 
developed.  That  point  seems  to  he  a  cen¬ 
tre  for  selling  and  packing  live  stock. 
Every  month  the  Southern  people  buy 
from  the  North  millions  of  pounds  of 
meat,  lard  and  butter.  The  Southern 
breeders  also  depend  very  largely  upon 
the  North  for  their  high-class  breeding 
animals.  There  is  no  reason  why  a  very 
large  proportion  of  this  live  stock  .and 
meat  products  should  not  be  produced  in 
the  Southern  States,  and  conferences  lik<* 
this  one  at  Moultrie  are  designed  to  help 
the  work  along  by  discussing  it.  With 
its  climate,  cheap  lund,  and  ability  to 
raise  clover  and  other  legumes,  the  South 
ought  to  become  a  great  live  stock  pro¬ 
duce  section.  It  has  often  been  a  wonder 
to  ns  that  a  great  majority  of  the 
Southern  representatives  iu  Congress  al¬ 
ways  seem  to  line  up  on  the  side  of  nleo. 
whenever  that  subject  conies  np  for  na¬ 
tional  legisation.  There  is  no  part  of  the 
great  green  earth  which  needs  the  dairy 
e«  v  so  thoroughly  as  do  the  Gulf  States, 
and  the  people  of  that  section  ought  to  he 
:he  very  first  in  working  for  pure  butter 
.legislation.  If  any  oue  can  ever  explain 
'■by  it  is  that  the  Southern  representa- 
'  ves  always  line  up  in  favor  of  bogus 
'  otter,  we  would  like  very  natch  indeed  to 
have  their  explanation.

To  Advertise  Apples 
The  New  York  State  Department  of  Foods  and  Markets 
proposes  to  issue  a  catalogue  containing  all  the  commercial 
apple  orchards  of  the  State  of  New  York,  for  the  purpose  of 
advertising  the  variety  and  finality  of  apples  grown  in  differ¬ 
ent,  sections,  in  order  to  attract  buyers  to  these  sections. 
The  Department  is  able  to  put  this  information  into  the 
hands  of  all  the  buyers  of  apples  both  domestic  and  foreign, 
and  will  consult  with  growers  as  the  best  means  to  making 
sales.  If  growers  approve  a  number  of  orchard  auctions  sales 
will  be  held  to  standardize  prices.  The  foreign  trade  will 
also  be  developed  for  the  benefit  of  growers  who  pack  and 
grade  apples  suited  to  the  foreign  market.  Co-operative  as¬ 
sociations  of  growers  with  central  packing  houses  are  espe¬ 
cially  in  position  to  profit  by  this  trade. 
In  making  report  of  crop,  estimate  as  near  the  actual  yield 
as  possible.  We  must  give  buyers  the  best  information  avail¬ 
able;  and  when  sold  we  must  deliver  the  grade  and  quality 
specified.  As  the  work  develops,  we  want  to  he  able  to  sell 
brands  without  inspection.  The  best  buyers  will  appreciate 
this  service.  When  we  have  standardized  our  pack,  and 
completely  listed  our  offerings,  the  system  will  appeal  to 
buyers,  and  standardization  of  prices  will  be  easily  accom¬ 
plished  through  public  sales.  Confidence  of  buyers  is  an 
asset  to  growers;  to  secure  it  we  must  have  careful  grades 
and  standard  pack. 
The  Department  must  have  the  co-operation  of  growers  to 
catalogue  the  fruit.  Every  grower  should  he  included  and  you 
are  requested  to  send  us  this  information  in  regard  to  your 
orchards,  also  see  that  your  neighbor  does  likewise.  The 
more  complete  representation,  the  better  results  for  the  indi¬ 
viduals,  and  for  yutir  particular  section  and  the  whole  State. 
Your  orchards  cannot  be  listed  in  this  catalogue  unless  you 
send  us  the  information.
