Of course North Carolina is not g ing to let South Carolina be "the ce ter o fthe livestock industry of t United States," because North Car lina want sto be in on that develo ment herself, so that the two stat can become famous practically at t same time. Trhe Carolinas, howev< can not possibly become the acti center of the industry, but they c easily become the greatest livesto states in Anmerica, along with au other South-atlantic States as Ge< gia and Florida. Of course, it is mitted! that Georgiu and Florida, a because of their pasturage and fora raising adaptabilities, possess alli obviously unexceptionable advantaj for cattle raising and dairying, o: they get rid of the Texas cattle fec tiek, the pest which bars out the v< finnst of Aouthern cattle from rem Satteri There To!b floney'sI' he Next Load nd Satterield Pus nition among the cattle of other parts of the country. So far as the cattle tick eradica tion is concerned, South Carolina con fessedly has the lead in being wholly free from the cattle pest that puts a ban on Southern cattle, it matters not how fine they might possibly be, but while South Carolina is pest free a large territory in North Carolina is I tick free too, with only a few unpro gressive counties keeliing North Caro lina from being entirely in a class with South Carolina. - We fully appreciate the splendid ad I vantages of South Carolina, and we envy her the fact that the cattle from the whole State can now be shipped - anywhere in America or Europe under - federal laws regulating cattle traffic, f but North Carolina hopes to oe fully :1 tick free as soon as a few backward t counties decide to quit holding back e their State and are responsible for let :l ting South Carolina get a lap ahead di of us.-. y Mr. Wheeler is right in pointing to the advantages of this tick free State d for dairy farming and beef cattle pro f duction.
