Cattle-Crowing in tlio South. Special to The Stale Baltimore, Sept. 4. ? Connect ed directly with the industria growth of the south is the ques tion of cattle raising. Not onlj is h population increasing tlirongl industry to l?e furnished its bee raised at home, but increasing employment in industry is to b< offered in the handling of cattU in all its forms from the field ti the consumer. Census figure; ahow that in live important south ern States there wate in 1900 c smaller number of neat cattle thai there was in 1SG0 and in two o theui a smaller number in 190< than in 1880. A number of fac tors have contributed to the act ual decline in the number of cat I tie in some States together with ? failure in otlms of the increas* to keep pace with the increase ii population. One of them is the habit of selling )oung stock foi shipment to the west to be grazed and killed there and to bo return ed to the south as beef. Tbi lack of economy in such a policy is being impressed hp on southern farmers, and there are signs of deep interest in a revival of cattle raising and in packing house un dertakings. Hearing upon that movement is a letter in this week's issue of the Manufacture ers' Record from Mr. C. J. Haden of Atlanta, Ga., embodying the results of a trip he has made in the, west. He compares the high plains of the west with the vast stretches of pine timber plains of the southeast, with 50 inches of rainfall a year, situated on un n\> erage 1,000 miles nearer the markots and as yet unused for agricultnre, and he says: "Our southeastern lands escape the destructive blizzards and snowstorms that afflict the plains; for be it remembered that the grazing lands of tho far west are from 4,000 to 6,000 feet above sea level, and the best of them (particularly those parts near the Rocky mountains) are subjected to heavy snow falls. The casual observer who first passes through the western plains and then through southern Georgia forests will satisfy himself at a glance of the greatof quantity of g:ass on the latter. Cattle growing, which hag been carried on in these forest iunds in a small way, adjusted to the feeble finances and lukewarm enterprise of the native settlers, has been prac* tically all profit. The watering and wintering necessary in the west are unknown requisites. Hitherto herding has also b?en unnecessary, but this last item must be considered Mf the industry is pursued on a considerable scale. Persons remote may be surprised to know that although Georgia was one of the 13 original States, yet within 75 miles of the first settlement (Savannah) the traveler may ride across the forest 10 miles without seeing the habitat of man. Georgia, the largest State in square miles east of the Mississippi river, having depended for nearly a centurv upon natural reproduction, unaid.j ed by immigration, is )ot decidedly pioneer at both its northern and southern ends. Hence there is sufficient grazing at present not utilized for millions of cattle. Add to these facts that water is abundant, if not on the surface, accessible by shallow wells, costing to dig from #5 to $10 each, or at most artesian wells costing on an average of $300, and there is a conclusive showing in favor of the southern as against the far west tlTho land privileges in the nnthAaat \u/-ml/l ~ uwuiu i/o lew m proportion to the feeding power of grass than in the plains. But ah the southeastern lends are in the most part limbered, or even | where cut over are valuable for general f.?r ning purp ?so, with sufficient timber remaining for ? farm uses, tho stock grower 1 would probably prefer to be his own landlord, llo can then at ; Hindi cost supplement where 1 { neuded with improved grasses, f j ? 1 he actual expense ia less to j j equip'a ranch for beginning in 3( the southeastern pine lands than | on the western plains. Thepeeu?, liar advantage of the pine land i country is in the f*ct that more - grass is found in a less area, i bringing tho herds closer to u i given point, which facilitates busf inoss. The absence of the har) assing coyote, the sleepless thief of the uight that eats away the - ranchman's dividend, is also a cumulative argument in behalf of i the inviting forest along the South ( I Atlantis.

The presence of the post was net noted until the early part of the week, but it is spreading over the face of the earth in countless millions, the number i ' 1 apparently increasing every day. j The pastures are especially objects ( of attack and >n some instances (they have the appearance of having been swept by fire. Grass, Irish potato tops, turnip tops, peanut J vines, sweet potato vines, sorcrhum cane and oven corn is being attack| ed and on some farms the latter crop is suffering very much from ^ its ravages. So far wo have heard of no injury to the cotton crop. The first we heard or saw of the ravages of the pest was its attack ' upon the Winthrop lawn, where it destroyed a plot of grass in one 1 day. Since then, wo have heard of it in every direction, but more so on the clay lands than on sandy soil. A prairie fire could not | have been more destructive of , vegetation than has this pest been j on the pastures of Mr. Sam FriedI helm and in numberless other places the destruction that is go| ing on is equally ns great. I We know nothing whatever of ( the insect, but one who claims to ' know tells us that it will not stay , with us long and will disappear as suddenly as it came. Let us hopo that he may hasten his departure. We understand that this worm appeared in this section in countless millions in 1860, but has not since been seen here in numbers great enough to cause destruction of any consequence.?Rock IIill Herald.
