Washington, Oct. 29.?Senator
John B. Kendrick, of Wyoming,
president of a large Northwestern association
of stockmen and sheer
breeders, told Senator Dial the other
day that the interests with which he
is associated had investigated the ad antages

some time ago have gone extensivelj
into the business there had not the
risk been, too great on account o\
the many rriongrel dogs running at
large.
"Now, there is concrete, specific
evidence of what our people are losing,"
said Senator Dial today. "I knew
we had thousands of acres of pasturage,
that our climate made it practicable
to run sheep on open range
"throughout the winter and that we
had a number of other important advantages
to attract the sheep grower
operating on a large scale. I therefore
fortV nr? with Senator Kendrick the
matter of interesting some of his associates.
Surprised and Gratified.
"I was surprised and gratified to
learn that they had already looked
into the opportunities in South Carolina
and were willing and ready to
take advantage of them. But there
was not much that I could say when
he pointed out that one mangy cur
could kill as many as fifty ^heep in
a night and that so long as our people
persisted in their present unenlightened
policy with regard to dogs,
nobody could afford to venture on
sheep growing on a commercial scale.
"Every sheep is an asset worth
around $30; every dog is a liability.
We have abundance of waste pastur*
A
age whic^ we ought to utilize, especially
with clothing and meat so dear.
I am confident we could develop a
highly profitable sheep industry. Some
gentleman from Alabama told me re
cently that farmers in portions of
their State overrun by the cotton boll
weevil had clipped enough wool from
their sheep to meet the running expenses
of their farms.
"1 trust that our Legislature will
at e first opportunity enact a suit%
a > law to abate the dog nuisance
thus make possible the develt
of a sheep industry. We have

when such legislation has been proposed
it has not had the attention it
deserved from the leaders and has

mongrels running about the country
is a continual menace to life. Net
many men can now afford time for
I hunting. I know of few things more
silly, in circumstances like those of
: the present, than the spectacle of a
grown man losing a whole day from
work to catch a fifteen-cent rabbit.

in sheep breeding and I hope that our

' THE BOLL WEEVIL
AND LAND VALUES
* The early arrival of the boll weevil,
' whether or not he has already arrived
' may certainly be expected. It therefore
becomes necessary for us to
' determine the effect of its coming
and the measures necessary to meet
the conditions thereby brought about.
I know of no sater oasis of judging
this than by the effects produced
under similar conditions in the same
t
latitude of the cotton states hereto,
[fore overrun by the boll weevil. Both
Alabama and Georgia have recently
gone through the experience which
now faces us. It will be noted that
the states as a whole are still pro
ducing about two-thirds of their
usual amount of cotton. It also needs
to be noted that these two states
' were overrun after methods of combating
the boll weevil were pretty
well worked out, and therefore that
the damage was comparatively light
relative to the damage resulting in
Louisiana and Mississippi.
If a study be made of the yields
fromi Alabama and Georgia by counties,
it will be found that counties in
our latitude have been reduced much
less in yield than the average state
as a whole, and that the lower counties
of the state have been reduced
more.
It must be recognized however
that the arrival of the boll weevil has
produced a serious condition during
the period of transition to farming
methods necessary under boll weevil
conditions. This period lasted four
to six years over Louisiana and Mississippi
and has been reduced to about
two years in Alabama and Georgia.
There is no good reason why, with
the methods of combating the boll
weevil well known and the accumulated
resources of the last three prosperous
years, this territory should not
futher reduce this transition period
demoalization.
Our farmers must at once prepare
to reduce their cotton acreage and increase
their acreage to corn and
velvet beans and to oats and small
grain. They will also have to arrange
to fence their lands as rapidly as
possible. Fenced fields are necessary

the boll weevil's arrival.
Let all interests remember that
this is an agricultural country; that
the new conditions must be met; and
that to that end all must co-operate.
It is up to every well informed man
in the community to bring home to
the colored farmers of the county
(and the colored farmers of the comhiunity
form a majority and probably
cultivate half of the latids of the
county) the things they must do in
'order to farm profitably under boll
weevil conditions. Tell them that
they mjust plant early varieties of cotton
and get it planted early. It will
also be necessary for the landlords
to at least assist tenants in fencing
their fields and to require them to
increase the corn and velvet bean
acreage. This is going to prove one
of the most profitable substitute

next year's crop should be arranged
Tor now and the fences should be
built during th winter months when
the labor is not all required in the
preparation for and the cultivation
of the crops. These are only a few
of the practical ways in which every
interest in the community can cooperate.
If you neglect to do your
part, you will suffer with the farm
interests of the community.
Alabama has already recovered
from the disorganization incident to
the boll weevil's arrival and it is

Lives Up to Training. J ^
A remarkable record is held by Mrs. i r
! fc
A. L. Smith, who lives about 30 miles j
!.
from here, near Lexington. She has i "
been bringing produce to the fair for j
years and years. She and her hus- j
band and children left their home j
early on Monday morning in their car, j
bringing their products to the fair.
The children are large now and a ,
lady who knows Mrs. Smith well says <
that she remembers when the children
were babies and Mr. and Mrs. Smith
left home early in the night before
the day of the fair in their wagon so
'as to be there the morning it opened.
Mrs. Smith is a graduate of Winthrop
college, and Winthrop college j
should feel proud of such a product.
Mrs. Smith won over $90 this year at
the Lexington county fair and in one

well and feel fine in the morning ana

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to make weak nerves
strong."?Mrs. Albert Sultze, 603
Olmstead St, Winona, Minn.
How often do we hear the expression
among women, "I am so nervous, I cannot
sleep," or "it seems as though I
should fly." Such women should profit
by Mrs. Sultze's experience and give
this famous root and herb remedy,
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
a trial.
For forty years it has been overcoming
such serious conditions as displacements,
inflammation, ulceration, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, dizziness,
and nervous prostration of
women, and is now considered the standard
remedy for such ailments.
