STATE LAWS 'S ON DIPPING! mmmmmmmrnrnrnm < The Law as Amended in The J Year of 1918 in Full I THINGS NEEDED J 1 TO-BE PROVED First Cause of Opposition to ' The Law in Horry County -Was Elliott. The Herald has been asked to publish the Act of the Legislature which provides for the disinfection of cattle and which provides a punish ment for a misdemeanor for the violation of the terms of the Act. There are some Magistrates who have not looked the statutes up and are, therefore, unable to explain to their constituents the exact terms of this law. This practice of disinfecting the cattle tor tne purpose ot exiermmuv ing the cattle fever tick and avoiding the disease caused by this insect, was started several years ago by Clenison College acting with the United States Department of Agriculture. Before long an Act was passed by the Legislature of South Carolina providing that County Commissioners might appropriate money not exceeding $100.00 each i year for the purpose of co-operating with Clemson College and the De-1 partment of Agriculture of the United States in the control of contagious diseases among cattle. Under this law, which was passed in 1912, a violation of the law could j. 1? ' "" J o Manricf rnfrp P5C 11(11 IM? H (I'll l v /1 V. a cept under exceptional circumstances but had to he sont up to the Court of General Sessions to be tried. The first case we remember in Horry County of resistance against the practice was that of Elliott in i Floyds Township. Elliott owned I quite a herd of cattle running wild in Little Pee Dee River Swamp. He knew that it was impossible to pen his stock according: to the notices served son him as he could not he sure that he could catch them, and | it is said that he never even tried. He refused to do anything about it and was prosecuted. He employed attorneys and appealed from the Magistrates Court to the Court of General Sessions, or that is the recollection of those connected with the case. It apnears that his case has never been disposed of in the higher Court but is still pending. He offerred to let the cattle he killed and did not seem to care whether he had any cattle or not. In the year 191* the act of 1012 was amended so that it now reads as follows. That the State Veterinarian or any live stock inspector appointed by hint is hereby authorized to give written notice to any person, firm or corporation owning, possessing, or controlling any live stock which may bs found infested or infected with the carrier or carriers of infectious, con-j tagious or communicable diseases, oi l any barns, sheds, yards or fields which are capable of conveying the said infection or contagion, 4o disinfect the same, or have the same disinfected within five days from the service of such notice; and if anv ^ person, firm or corporation shall ret use or neglect for five days from I the service of such notice to disin | feet such animals, live stock or prom! ises in the manner that such written j of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction I notice may specify, the said person. | firm or corporation shall he guilty thereof, shall he liable of a fine of not less than five dollars nor more than two hundred dollars Rut if any person i.-, brought before a Magistrate for such misdemeanor, or on the coinplaint of the State Veterinarian or < live stock inspector appointed by him, such peVson may plead guilty, I whereupon the Magistrate shall hear the evidence and fine the offender according to the aggravation of his offense, not less than five dollars nor more than fifty dollars, and pay ment of such fine shall bar any further punishment for the same offense. A careful study of the analysis of this law as it now stands shows that the following things must be established by the State to make out u conviction against those charged with refusing to disinfect their cattle: Under this law it appears that the following is necessary to be proved to make a conviction:? 1. That the State Veterinarian 01 any live stock inspector appointed by him, has given written notice to the person, firm or corporation own in;; possessing or controlling the live stock to disinfect the same, or have it done within five days from the service of the notice. 2. The proceedings must relate to live stock found infested or infected with the carrier or carriers of infectious, contagious or communicable diseases which are capable of carrying the said infection or contagion; or are exposed to such carriers and this makes it necessary to prove that the live stock in ouostion were cither so infested or infected which moan" fVici 4 1 niiii< i'V i AM* ]\nnn nvo \ I uic i' .(nn-,y '|'w? ^' v-l "< i,auiimii?.i before* stirh notice \v?i? ftiven because yjt would not bo sufficient if they became infested or infected after the ^notice had been served. ,f> 3. It must be proved that the porJtaon. firm or corporation refused or jiei'lected for five days from the serjf\nrte of the notice to disinfect such ' 'Vanimals in the manner that such f, written notice may specify; and if 'the written notice fail to specify .'then the whole prosecution will fail . on that point fov the law contem ' ?plates that the notice shall state the manner in which the disinfection i.< ' to be done. 4.'The Inw savs, "shall refuse or neglect," and this means thai the MYyffcn I iifiAi fH* ir t ** ? .. .. ... ? , 1 >erst?n charged, wilfully refused or [ >assively neglected without making my effort to comply with tue notice.

HATCHER PRODUCES FREAK A freak guinea egg has been produced on the farm of W. I. Hatcher, near Aynor, in Galivants Ferry township. The egg is of oblong shape, larger at one end than, the other, and the smaller end bent downward against the side of the larger part, and on the extreme end is a good representation of the head of a snake. This peculiar production of a guinea hen was brought to the Herald office one day last week and for the purpose of placing on exhibition at the store of the Horry Drug Company. o QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS From Specialists' Correspondence With Farmers. I would like some information in regard to the culture of English walnuts.?F. N. L., Pacolet. The culture of English walnuts is very similar to that of pecans, the trees being planted not less than forty feet apart each way. Some varieties are more or less dwarf, and need not be planted more than thirty feet apart. While the English walnut is hardy in this state and ha.-* been grown successfully in many localities, it has not proven to be very profitable so far. I would not advise you to plant extensively, but I think you would be perfectly safe' y.v.w I? Keep The E| I?

Please advise me as to harvesting and storing carrots for winter.?\Y C. J., Clemson College. Our winters are seldom cold enough to kill carrots, which may be left in the ground. I believe, how ever, it is best to store them. This should i>e done during: November. The tops should be removed and the carrots placed in cone shaped piles and covered with soil 8 to 10 inches. From 5 to 10 bushels can be placed in a bank. It will be impossible for you to bank your carrots now and keep them, as they would rot in a very short while. o You need kernelgrit to save your time in hand cleaning after the greasy job on the machinery.
