Report: Southern Activities of the Society

Abstract

Material progress has been made in the animal husbandry work of the Southern agricultural colleges and experiment stations along the lines of research, teaching and extension during the past year.

The agricultural depression following the deflation of 1920 forced noticeable changes in agricultural practices of the section. The shift of population from rural to urban centers was more acute than in many other sections of the country. This brought necessary readjustments in labor conditions on farms.

The boll weevil invasion was particularly disastrous in the eastern half of the Cotton Belt. Agricultural workers realized that a greatly increased amount of livestock must enter into the agricultural program or this land would be abandoned for agricultural purposes.

With this in view all of the southern agricultural colleges and experiment stations are putting more determined effort into livestock development. Herds and flocks are being improved. There is a greater interest than ever before in the fitting and showing of animals.
