Hereford is one of a Number of Gc Herewith in a Tick-Free Commui ("From fha United States Department o? Agriculture.) A total area of 9,739 square miles was released from quarantine on ac .co;mt of the cattle tick on March 10. The free territory is situated in the istates of Florida, Texas, Mississippi, .Georgia and South Carolina, and in cludes the whole or parts of 1G coun ties. There have now been released from federal quarantine 2S4.521 square .miles of the original 72S.543 which were put under quarantine in IPO'3, when the work of systematic tick eradication was begun. clorida Begins Fight. A significant feature of the new or der is that with the release ot" terri tory in Florida there is now no tick infested state In which some counties 'have not been made free of the pest. In Florida the whole of Dade and Broward counties and part of Palm Beach county are now tick free. The Florida work began in 1911, when a number of prominent farmers, cattle owners and business men held a meet ing in the courthouse in Miami on .November 25 and formed an organiza tion for the extermination of the cat tle tick. Twelve men, owning 21S dairy cattle, enrolled in the new or ganization, which later became known cs the Stock Growers' association of Southeast Florida, The membership iee was fixed at $1, but voluntary con tributions aggregating $271 were ob tained in a short time. This was sup plemented by a county appropriation of $500 and a campaign against the tick was begun. A survey of the ter ritory showed that there were about ?50 cattle, principally dairy cows, in the county. The state live stock sani tary officials and the department were ?called upon for assistance, five dip ping vats were built, and on May 8, JL915, regular dipping began. By De ?cember 1, 1915, the membership in the {Stock growers' association Increased to 155, the members of the association owning between them nearly three jfonrths of the cattle in the county. From May, 1915, when, as has been ?said, regular dipping began in Dade ?county, until the present time not a MAJOR SOURCES OF INCOME | ;Most Successful Farms Have Well Balanced and Diversified Busi ness-Keeps Prices Up. In most cases where studies on the ; profits in farming have been made particularly ir our oldest agricultural .districts, such studies indicate that .the most successful farms are those which have from two to four major sources of income i. e., they have a ?well-balanced and diversified business. ?In certain instances it may pa>* better to have only one enterprise, bat usu .-.ally when one crop pays much better .than all others the production of it .increases rapidly and soon the price ?tails to the point where other crops or .^products are equally as profitable. Diversified farming is often confused I .-?with farming where there is a little ? iof everything and not much of any- j thiug. Either extreme lessens the .chances of success. When the price I "^certain crops is very Tow then live ?Stock usually becomes desirable. How .<erer. if the returns per animal are poor, cash crops even at a low price I axe essential. A well-balanced busi ness insures against losses and pro ivides a much better utilization of the 3abor and equipment.

Previous attempts to import dairy stock had invariably resulted in failure, for the cattle succumbed to fe ver. This represented a serious loss to the community, for the large winter resorts along the eastern coast of Florida offered an excellent market for milk, cream and butter, and to obtain the maximum returns from this mar ket it was most desirable to grade up the native herds by the importation of purebred stock. Now that the tick has been driven out from Dade and Brownard coun ties there is no reason why this grad ing-up process should not go on rapid ly. The work of freeing these coun ties from the tick has cost citizens, county and state about $1,600. This sum is regarded as insignificant in comparison with the increased rev enue which better dairy herds will bring the community. Interest in Texas. The release of Schleicher county, in the western part of Texas, is also re garded as an encouraging forerunner of successful work in that state this year. A number of counties are show ing their interest in tick eradication by making appropriations of from $5,000 to $10,000 for the vigorous pros ecution of tho work this season. It seems to be very generally recognized that the most successful and most eco nomical way of freeing the county from ticks is to make dipping vats readily accessible to every part of the county and then insist that all cattle be dipped regularly every two weeks for one season. This, of course, re quires some outlay in the beginning, but in the end is far cheaper than attempts to accomplish the work with insufficient equipment. In the other states affected by the new order, Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina, tick eradication has made great progress in recent years. Much of South Carolina has already been freed, and in both Georgia and Mississippi the realization of the bene fits of the work ls spreading rapidly. ?X IS IMPROPER IMPLEMENT Its Use in Orchard Not Favored by Professor Rapp of Oklahoma Wounds Never Heal Over. (By C. W. RAPP, Department of Horti culture. Oklahoma A. & M. Colk-jre Stillwater.) One would not think of amputating an arm with an ax and ho should think j the same way of the limb of a tree, for trees are in many respects like ani mals. Animal wounds must heal or harm will result, and it is the same with tree wounds. If you go into the orchard and hack limbs off with an ax, you are probably doing more harm than good. Many of these wounds will bo jaggtd and long stubs will be left. Many of these will never heal over, and as a result decay will set in and a healthy tree may, in a few years, be ruined. Pruning is a necessary or chard practice, but slashing with an ax is not pruning. AMOUNT OF ORGANIC MATTER Directions Given by Chemist at Okla? homa Experiment Station for Making Test of Soil. To determine roughly the amount of organic matter in the soil the follow ing directions are given by Dr. Chas. K. Francis, chemist at the Oklahoma agricultural experiment station: "Weigh out as closely as possible one pound of well-pulverized soil Into a saucepan. Heat this over boiling wa ter for approximately six hours. A double boiler would be convenient for this purpose. Weigh the soil without delay. The loss in weight will repre sent the moisture. Transfer to an iron vessel, which should be heated at redness for one hour directly over a fire. Weigh when cool. The loss on the previous weight will approximately represent the organic matter." Making Fertilizer. A mixture of 250 pounds of dry hen manure. 150 pounds acid phosphate and 100 pounds unleached hardwood ashes will contain practically the same quantities of ammonia, phos phoric acid and potash as would be carried in 300 pounds of a 2-10-2 fer tilizer. Drilling for Soy Beans Plant soy beans with'a grain drill in rows 28 inches apart, using 15 to 20 pounds seed per acre, according to variety. Candidates' Column FOR CONGRESS.
