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 The Army Worm.
> The army worm has appeared in
this county and everything green is
i being attacked. 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

Three Ages of Man.
The first age of man is when he
tmnks about all the wicked things
which he is going to do. This is
culled "Innocence." The second
age is when he does all the wicked
things he has thought of in childhood.
This is called "the Prime
of Life." The third age is when
he repents of all the wicked
things he has done. This is call
ed "Dotage."

of this city passed an ordiance
muking it an offense, subject to
a tine, for any miuor to smoke
cigarettes upon the streets of Elizabeth
City. This moaning Mr.
W. O. Saunders violated that law,
and was arrested. He plead guilty.
Mayor Wilson imposed the stipulated
fine. Young Saunders re?i

He said: ,4The law is unconstitutional
and arWitrary for a freeborn
American." Saunders is in
the lock-up. He refuses all offers
of many friends to go on his
bond. The result of this unique
case promises to be interesting.

The Government's Report.
Washington, Sept.9.?The agricultural
department's weekly sum- j
uiary of crop conditions says: I
*'Although the week was cool
in the central valleys and lake region
with more than the average
rainfall in portions of the upper
Mississippi valley, maturing crops
have made generally favorable,
though not rapid advancement. |
The greater part of Texas, in j
which State severe drought pre* J
vailed at the elose of the previous
week, has received abundant rainfall,
and droughtconditions in-the I
middle Atlantic coast districts \
have als ? Ijeen largely relieved.
"Notwithstanding the prevalence
of low temperatures throughout
the corn belt, and copious <
rainfall in portions of the upper a
Mississippi valley, the corn crop j
has made verv
? - j ^??ukuvim j ou" fl
vaneement toward maturity, and
wholly escaped in States eastward I
of the Mississippi river from
frosts occurring en the 4th and
5tb, with hut slight injury in the
States to the westward.
"Texas and a large part of the
central and eastern districts of the ?
4
cotton belt have received abun* \
dant rainfall during the week, but i
it is roubtful whether the benefi- <
cial effects of these rains *.o late '
cotton will offset the injury done
to the open staple. Cotton has 1
opened more rapidly than it could 1
be picked. In portions of the ""
central and eastern district many
fields are already nearly cleaned, ^
and the reports generally indicate A
that the ciop wdl be gathered
much earlier than usual. c
