Guion, of Lugoff, Furnishes Interesting Article to The Char lotte Observer. At IIiIh (lino when lint Legislature Im to pHHH U poll tile <| UUStioil Of ticks or no ticks, it is v<m y timely and iuierct.t lug lo know w it til tho outside world thinks of the South as a cattle co ii ii (ry after licks have been onulelated. following, below Ik pari of ail ar ticle published in 'I'll o American Hereford Journal or Kansac city, Mo., December 1 f? ; '"Tho ?roa(0?t block of beef in tho allow ring," was the out-and-out ex pivuflion of a man who known what ho is talking about, iik bo gazed long and admiringly at J'olnt Coin fort^ t Jim best bull of any ago in the Hereford ".Melee," a bull bred and fed below tho quarantine line by Davis of Jackson, Miss. It is the sign of .Southern awakening to soo Huch "slapping" K?od sons of tho . Herefords to come northward from tho Southland to win over the exhi bitor of tho Great Plains region. Only a ye^r ugo It would have been ImpoKHlble for Duvis to show at the "big show," because the tick dead lino was above him. a year ago, however, ho awoke lo find that tho National Government had fought the tick farther "gulfward" ? and left Irm on undisputed ground, free to come and go with bin dattlo ho long au he went towards tho Eskimo sun. Plans weero then and there laid to "lie In" at the big show and soo if the South really hail "the "stuff," and with what results you have soon. Forgive our Instilled enthusiasm, but what augurs well for the south is that the removal of t he quarantine line is no sootier af fected than we have 'results.' " Here we art* one year after tho removal of (lie <|iiaran< ino restric tions, a Mississippi breeder, (driven into cat t le raising by the boll weev il) taking a great bull born and bred in tlx- .South into the very, '.heart of the corn bj-lt, and winning i tin* grand championship at the big- 1 gesl caiue show iu America. Ten such bulls raised in North and South Carolina would pay the) eradicating ox piloses of the entire States of eaUle ticks and change 'the whole course of agriculture. Joe 10. Wing, on page 114 Mead ows and I \ast n res. stiys: "Bermuda is the blue grass of the South. it makes a similar but tougher sod. It at I iliates well with clovers, especial ly with the little white clover. I feel assured that on a I ? i t of sandy loam alluvial soil in Louisiana set to bermuda and white clover, I have more cattle, pigs, mules and horses grazed than 1 have seen on a simi lar area anywhere in the world." It perhaps is enough to say that Mr. Wing has traveled all over the world, studying ">astures and grass es <i ml is not a Southern lun a Northern man Again b*t us ((uo'-i' l roiu a foreign authority who is familiar with the Sou h. I he editor <>t The Berkshire World and Coin lb I; Slot kmnn, <?i Springfield, it!., writts :is follows: "Most of tile South lies below the ? luaranCne line, that' th.> cattle tick sill holds possession of vast regions in which, hut for its pres ence, farmers could raise beet cat tle profitably by the millions. Al though large blocks of quarantitii territory havo been released ever\ year, the total up to date amounting to an area much larger than the State of Iowa, only as mere begin ning has been made in freeing the cc untry <f ticks. (One-fourth of the area cleared since 1906 ? about four times the size of Iowa ? T. 13.) It is the tick which spreads Texas fover, and this malady not only pre cludes health and thrift in cattle, but places cat le from; hat district at a disadvantage on tho commercial markets, so that the incentive to raise them is negligible. Tho next Congress will probahh bo asked to appropriate $300,000 to enable the Department of Agricul ture to expand and hastening its tit k eradicate n work in the South. :? b'.'.l calling for this fund is i:i t reduced it ought i.? un:mimous:> pass.
