Contrary to a widespread belief, the United States department of ag riculture does not consider the burn ing over of national forest lands as an effective means of dealing with the cattle tick and the dreaded fever which it spreads. This is set forth by Secretary Wilson in the following passages of a recent letter to Rep resentative Floyd, of the Third Ar kansas district: "I have just received a communi cation from Dr. Cooper Curtice, vet erinary inspector of the bureau of animal industry of this department, settng forth certain opinions re speeting the burning of forests and ranges to destroy ticks which infest cattle and transmit disease, in which .the? dpatynent fulW eneiexs. Dr. Curtice has had many years exper ienee with the department, is one of the original investigators of the faver tick, and has probably had more ex perience in this line of work than any other scientist. He ;has recently made .a tour through northern Arkan sas and investigated the conditions which exist in that loceality, and his observations are therefore quite per tinent to the question of c'oiaict in the policies of the bureau of animal industry and the forest service. The observati-ons of Dr. Curtice are, in effect, as follows: '''It is true that certain times of the year burning the grass on an en losed field may remove the ticks wherever the fire travels, 'but even then many places remain unburned and the owner depeinds on the fire for eradication -and consequently fails. At meetings of cattle men and others I have been speaking against the ,practice of burning over the for - REPORT OF T] C The Exchk Newber At the CI->se of Busi CONDENSED FROM REPORT 'I Loans and Discount $198,810.23 Over Drafts 1,400.46 Fur. & Fixtures 3,800.oo Cash on Hand in Banks 10,928.25 Total .$214,938.94 Start an "OPPORTI this Bank; your mo earn four per cent i semi-annually. EDWARD R. II1PP, PRESIDENT. est ground and have held that no work would be sayed in the process of eradica'tion 6ewause the cattle should necessarily be treated accord ing to some one of the methods spe cified in Farmers' Bulletin No. 378 (methods of exterminating the Texas fever tick), in. order to secure per fect results. It is necessary to re member in this connection that there are many un-burned places, especially around the dwellings, barns and oth er places where cattle lie. "'Whenever the grass is repeated ly burned, the roots ,become eventual ly destroyed, the sweeter grasses give way to the more resistant and finally the latter perish. Not only 'does fire destroy the scanty sod but in remov ing the leaves- as a protective .cov ering the hot sun of summer is per mitted to dry the soil to a crust and continues the devastation. The best grass I saw was in a place where the young growth was at ,east three years old. In so far as tick eradication is concerned, it seems to me an injus tice that the neeeassities of the work should be quoted as being opposed to the needs of the forest service. Fir ing the leaves has adt eradicated ticks, although followed for years. In stead of being beneficial in the for est, it has illed out the grasses and even the new growth of trees, which so often furnish in spring the only source of nourishment-the budv upon which the cattle may browse while the scanty herbage grows. " 'I have steadily advised that pastures, meadows and growing crops be ,provided, upon which the cattle could be held and fed the year around, by securing control of the feeding and breeding factors, be able to raise better cattle for the mar kets. Under present eonditions the mountain farmers axe saving no man ure, are making small crops, and are raising a very poor quality of cattle and hogs.- By attending to better cul I tivation, diversified crops, and feed ing stock on the farm, and atbandon I ing the prejudicial lburning of the woods and range, they can raise a very high quality of live stock and acquire a better money crop -than they have heretofore held. " 'From my observations and con versations with the farmers -f the Ozark forest, on my recent rip, I am led to believe that they will take up tick eradication as soon as they can raise the necessary money. T.he legislature meets xn 1911 and they will then ask for a new 5-cent district in addition to State funds.'"' Not a Sucker. "Yes, I went fishing yesterday,'' began the man who tries to be ori ginal. "Luck! well, some. I caught two fish. One was three and a half inches long and the -other two inches.'' But, was he .believed ? Not much. After he has passed on some one commented: "'Bet he didn't even get a bite.' Kansas City Times. IE CONDITION mnge Bank ry, S.C. ness March, 24, 1910.
