"West Virginia?largely regarded as
a mineral-producing State?is on the
warpath to interest beef cattle production
and its output of dairy products
by eradicating scrub bulls, which
are primary offenders against profitable
and progressive live stock husbandry.
Within a few months parts
of West Virginia where the campaign
is most active expect to round out a
clean-up which will eliminate the
sicrub bulls and leave the pure breds
as monarchs of all they survey. The
case of Roane County, W. Va., is an
example of what West Virginia stock
men accomplish when they go over
the top. The live stock specialists of
the State agricultural college, the
county agent and officers of the
Roane County farm bureau have solidly
backed up the scrub sire cleanup.
"Not a single man turned us
down." remarked the live stock specialist
in telling how the campaign to
oust the scrubs was conducted.
"The first of the year our local
stockmen made a declaration of independence
against scrub bulls, and
work was begun promptly in taking
a thorough lxull census. This investigation
of sire ancestry showed that
tliere were 200 bulls in the county, of
which 102 were misfit grades and
scrubs, while 98 were registered pure
brcds. There were 57 registered Herefords,
28 registered Angus, and 13
registered Shorthorns. Fortunately,
the army of 102 grades and scrubs
was not as formidable as it looked on
paper because 00 of these low grade
siress were yearlings. Furthermore,
the census showed that there were
only 30 men who actually made a
practice of keeping a scrub bull."
By correspondence and personal
contact with farmers the State live
stock agent and the only county
agent waged the battle. These men
toured the county day after day visiting
the scrub bull owners, holdingfarmers
to assist in vel:?r^ "2 the
scrub sires into the live-stock crap
heap. In the main the scrub bull
owners, once they learned the purpose'
of the campaign, and once they appreciated
the benefits which would
result if they substituted purebred
sires for the niongreel.s, wore glad to
dispose of their inferior herd-headers.
Detailed figures showing the increased
value of calves sired by pure-bred
over calves of scrub parentage were
particularly convincing in gaining con
verts. Most of the scrub bull owners
were prompt in admitting the error

How One Bull Went.
At one meeting a man who owned a
scrub bull refused to banish him from
his farm.
"That bull of mine is a good one,"
he declared. "If I sell him for beef I
will get about $50 for him. He is
worth every cent of $80. I am not
going to sell him for beef and lose
about $30, because I can not afford to
do it."
"I will throw in $10 to get rid of
that bull," replied the live-stock
specialist
"Here's $10 more for the same
cause," said the county agent.
This reduced the bull owner's belligerency
but he still stuck to his
guns. Then the president of the local
farmers' club stepped forward and
said, "That bull goes to the block.
Here's the extra $10 to round out the
price."
Such scenes as his characterized
the passing of the sciub and the victorious
conquest of the pure bred. In
a single day five scrub bulls were
sold out of one community and Roane
County is scheduled to be scrub-sire
dry.
Breeders Organize.
The Roane County banks have aided
the movement to replace poor
bulls with good ones. Every bank in
the county has offered to lend money
at 5 per cent to farmers for the purpose
of purchasing purebred sires as
substitutes for their scrubs. Alii

tnougn ivoane uouniy was trie nisi
to strike its stride, and has since
maintained the lead in the race to
eliminate scrubs, Taylor County has
followed closely on its heels, and has
organized a Hereford Breeders' Association,
which is achieving pioneer
work in banishing "bum bulls." The
Monroe County livestock owners have
organized a purebred short-horn rs- j
J sociation, while the Marshall County!
Purebred Live Steele Breeders' Club j
and the Grcenprier Valley Shorthorn
Association, including Monroe,!
Greenbrier, Pocahontas, Summers,

BOLL WEEVIL NEWS.
Clemson College.?During the last
two weeks no boll weevil maps have
been issued by the South Carolina
Crop Pest Commission owing to the
fact that the line* would not have
| been good after twenty-four hours.
Requests for maps, therefore, have
been answered by sending to those
correspondents the various points in
the state through which the weevil
line passes according to the last
telegraphic report from the inspector.
The line at this time runs through
Calhoun Falls, through a- point about
ten miles above Columbia and Sumter,
and 110 one knows how much further
this line will have advanced by
the time this report reaches the readers.
The conditions for weevil migration
have been the best possible, due
principally to the fact that cotton
stopped fruiting, and since the
squares formed the weevil's preferred
food, migration began in scaich
of squares.
Permits for the shipment of seed
and hulls have been withheld over a
wide latitude in the Eastern port of
the State. The Commission fears to
go as near the line as has been customary
on account of the great activity
of the pest and the necessity of j
using every precaution to nrot ct
free territory which w.uld noi. b'
.er.ched bv the weevil this year. It is
1 for this reason that the Commission
