TWO DOOM NOW APPEARS I i FOR CATTLE TICKS I Determination to Banish Parasite as 1919 Campaign Opens Up NEXT FEW YEARS WILL SEE HIS END Arkansas Governor Says Tick Eradication is Salvation of Southern Live Stock. The cattle fever tick will be permanently driven from American soil within the next few years. That is tito belief of officials of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, who have returned from the conference of tick eradicators at New Orleans. Their encouragement results not alone from the "pep" and the determination "to work themselves out of a job" evidenced by the men who unpaid to fight the tick, hut from the promises of continued and even stronger' cooperation by officials cf tick-infested Suites, and from the pledges of increasing support by J leading live-stock raisers of the South. The Now Orleans conference, called primarily as a "council of war" to plan the 1910 campaign, proved to be in reality the starting point of the "last big drive" against tlu; tick?the drive that is to remove the parasite Lorn its position as the greatest oh-J stacle to the development of strong | agriculture in the South. As an evi- | dence of this, Dr. J. R. Mohler, Chief 1 of the Bureau of Animal Industry, set 19211 as the last year for the tick's residence on American soil, he called on the tick fighters to clean up 90,000 square miles of territory this vea.'?a third of the area still under Federal quarantine. He mentioned 1923 because the new State-wide law in Texas does not b< come effective in the last of the three zone, in that State until 1922. But a report firm Texas said that with proper State and county coop- ; oration the "Lone Star Common- j .. . 1 \rv ^loeA/1 in I I!U.\ v\j uiuktu in i/iiv; i v-v.vi | area by the end of 1022. Another j year however, may ?be required 10 clean up local infestations in Texa: and other States. Arkansas Governor Testifies, What tick eradication moans to ti.O South- was described by Gov. 13 rough, of Arkansas, who tol l the t;ck fighters that their work is. proving the .salvation of southci a 1"vest ock raising, and is providing the basis v balanced and profitable farming. Gov. 13rough in recalling that 10 years ago, when ho began ju.vocate tick eradication, many peo-. pie expressed the opinion that "13rough himself ought to be dipped,'" said that now the campaign is moving iorward with resistless force, and characterized opponents of tick eradication as men n< tabic only for their sbo t sightedness, ignorance, or selfishness. yember.- of the Southern Cattlemen's Association, meeting at the same timy and place as the tick cradicator: , reiterated stixmgly the'r hojje for the complete extermination of the tick, and in a resolution urged the legislature of North Carolina fo adopt a State-wide compulsory tick eradication bill then pending*.

Ramsey, chief of the tick eradi cation division of the bureau of A 1 imal indusrty, as being "Dip th". tick in March." Examples wor cited to show that tick infestation i much less in localities whore cattl are sent to the dipping vats earl in March. The abundant rep rod. uc tive powers of the tick?from 0,0(1 to 5,000 eggs are laid by each fema! ?were impressed, and with them tl fact that a tick killed in Marc means thousands less in June, ar millions less later in the season. I getting an early stait on the tick is hoped to reduce infestation such an extent that the tick cradic tors will have the advantage throuj out the season. Many of the stores in Mo cc have been closed. IV Be STATE ITEMS] OF INTEREST TO ALL SOUTH CAROLINA PEOPLE Anderson College will hold a Field and Fellowship Convocation April 25th and 26th. The borrowing committee of the State has procured through the Palmetto National I>ank of Columtia a loan of $1,500,000, the interest rate being 2.70 per cent. R. C. Thompson, a member of the junior class of the Un'iversity oi Sv uth Carolina, was selected as the university's representative to the annual State oratorical contest to be held in Greenwood April 18. Congressman Lever has taken up with the war department the question of paying claims to farmers in the vicinity of Camp Jackson who were compelled to move away from their farms last fall because of the extension of the field artillery range. Last week Co). J. C. Stribling ?>f Pendleton, brought to Anderson one of the original red shirts that he wore in the Hampton campaign in '7(>. Colonel Stribling said that this v as the second red shirt any one wore and that it was worn at the first speech made bv General Hampton in that city. The important announcement was made at the war department that !l will be useless for wives or other relatives of returning soldiers who are now landing at Charleston and Ni wport News to go to those places to see the men as they will go straight to the i i demobilization camps for fumigation. Thousands of South Carolina's gallant sons, who have had a glorious share in the winning of the world's var on the blood soaked fields of1 Flanders and France, will return to | Camp Jackson within the next week j or two.

THE HORRY HER SAYS GERMANS NOT DEFEATED IN EAST Warsaw.?Germany, although dot foaled in the West, is not yet beaten in the East and if her aims in that part of Europe are to be frustrated and there is to be peace there must be a strong* Poland, Jan Ignace Pad< row ski, the premier of Poland, declared. In outlining the present situation of Poland and its relation to the whole European question, Premier Padercwski said: "The importance to the peace of Europe of a strong atul united Poland cannot be exaggerated. Germany made war not for honor and ideals, but for markets and raw material. The war has not yet been won. Germany is ready to acknowledge herself beaten in the West, but not in the East "The sa?Yie men who organized the present war count on reorganizing Pussia in their own interests. If they do so, they will have an endless supply of Tabor and raw materials. With these reinforcements, Germany would inevitably stamp her dominion en the whole world. Think of the effect on the splendid body of America's highly paid labor if Germany trained and directed the cheap labor of Russia and China. No one could compete with such cheap production. "What stands in Germany's way is not France or England, which are so far off. Germany is at the gates of disorganized Russia and once let her combine with the Bolsheviki and reorganize Russia, and she will have the leisure to do in peace time, she will dominate the world. 4l strong Poland alone can block this plan. Poland's Task. "From time immemorial it has been the task of Poland to protect civilization from the hordes of Asia. Oiganized by Germany they would bn a machine to crush democratic civilization. This Germany would do by breaking the standard of living of the Western peoples. For the piesent task we need a free nation to cooperate with Germany in influencing the development of Russia. "Danzig wc must have, because without it commerce would always be at the mercy of Germany. With j Danzig we must have the river Vis-j tula. It is an artery which, with its j tiibuiaries, gives life to the body of j the Polish nations. % | <> - rjpnzig to Pooen the ma: - f the oym!at:on is PoHsh. 1 ' ... r? i ".or odcoia is even nee Po, ^ i ' ha.'i I'os :i.

Clemson College.?"It is a common saying that tho sire is 'half the- herd/ As a matter of fact, In most coses, he is of oven greater value," says Thos. W. Moseley, Dairy Specialist of the Extension Service. A Common Practice. Yet many farmers do not aprpre- j /Mate the above statement and year after year are content to use any bull , that will make their cows come fresh. The result of the use of inferior or icrub sires is that the calves are nearly always inferior to their clams, and :ifter awhile tho farmer complains ihat his stock has "run out." One farmer who owned a scrub bull bred him to his cow, which had produced i4tt.8 jvmnds of butterfat in one year, i uid their daughter when she came :nto milk produced only 12G.3 pounds if butterfat. This heifer was bred , back, to the scrub bull and a heifer' from this mating produced only 90.7 < pounds of butterfat, of 47.1 pounds I less than her grandmother. At 50c. i nor pound for butterfat this would mean an annual loss of $23.55. An Investment That Paid. Another farmer who had become discouraged with scrub sires decided o buy the best he could afford. He , mated him with his cows, which wore i lust "ordinary." and the first six heifers produced an average of 93.8 pounds of butterfat more than their dams. With butterfat at 50c per pound this: would mean an increased yearly in- ! ?omo of $2S1.4ft. Those Heifers were . retained for five years and in that j time brought in SI,407.00 more than j their dams. In other words, through < the use of a good pure-bred sire for only one year he realized $1,407.00.' Only Pure-Bred Bulls Are Good 3ulls. But you can't expect these results hv using a scrub bull. The scrub bull - has no individuality, lie is (he result of years of careless, indiscriminate. haulm tard breeding. In his | bleed runs the inferorirv of many an- I tagonistir breeds The scrub bull is i a mixture and almost without exception the bad far out weighs the good. Tin; scrub hull chokes instead of promoting improvement !n th? herd. And you can't expect these results J from a grade bull, no matter if he is the son of a high-producing cow. i i The grade hull has no lines of good | blood hack of him. Ho is more apt to transmit the weakness of'llis? make-up ( than his strong point -e But you can expect these results by i using a good hull. A good hull must he a purebred hull. TTe must be ; more. lie must be a good pure-bred i hull. t j 'Jne Only Bred-For-Pro;!taction Sires. A good bull must have back of him ' a family of high producers, because he can transmit to his offspring only ! what he ha - : molved from his ances-; ! try. Tlis mother mast be a family of ? . , nign pro :< ?rs. pocnuse no can i Iran9iiiit to his offspring only what ho lias received from his ancestry. I Tlis mother must be a high producer, and his sire must come from a high producing dam. His sire must have sired high-producing daughters. Tf | his family for two or three generations hack has a record of lyiiformly high j production, there is little doubt that I he will be able to transmit that quality to his oiTspririg. And such a bull I can earn for the dairyman mctny timoa i his cost. But Pedigree Is Not Everything, j Many an animal has a fine pedigree hut is a very poor individual. The right dairy sire should be a good individual as well as have a good pedigree. He should be fairiy typical of his breed and show Masculinity, Capacity, Size and Quality. I fTl? vi/to 1 A9 a /I n i m? el rA In 1 lit" I i <? I Ydiur ui (i i v r'n g any herd is told when his daughters freshen. Then wo are able to tell whether he is improving iho herd. II his daughters are better producers than their dams were at the same age. then we are on the right, track A sire which docs not improve tin herd and whose daughters arc no better than their dams should be sob at once. Tf you caught a man running of with J*'? 100.00 worth of your property would you sit back in your chair am lot him do it?
