HOW CATTLE TICK
ERADICATION PAYS.
THE SOUTH CANNOT AFFORD TO
TOLERATE LONGER THIS
LIVESTOCK PEST.
Editor County Record:?
As one who is anxious to see a
movement started in our county to
eradicate the ticks from our county
that are destroying thousands of
dollars of cattle yearly, and for the
benefit of those who are opposed to
State's taking steps to eradicate
ticks from our country, I am enclosing
you a clipping from the Progressive
Farmer of the 11th inst,
written by a progressive farmer, B
W Hunt, of Eatonton, Ga, and ask
that you publish this, for the benefit
of those who have not given the
tick destruction much thought. By
so doing you will greatly oblige.
Yours very truly,
J J M Graham.
Cades, April 14, 1914.
Every county should organize a
livestock association, elect a president
who is not afraid of making
enemies of the opponents of tick
eradication and who will appear before
every grand jury to encourage
the work and insist on the grand
jury recommending sufficient appropriations
of funds to successfully
prosecute tick extermination and
also have the grand jury incorporate
in its general presentments its
approval of the work. In this way
there will be less expense and lest;
friction incurred than would otherwise
be the case.
The recommendations of the grand
jury have more effect than at first
appear. Opponents of tick eradication
serving on the jury, who would
ntkorn/ico onnnop the work, are
thereafter silenced by acts pf the
majority. I believe each county
would save money and time by furnishing
the arsenic cattle dip free of
cost to the farmers.
There is encouragement in the
statistics of Putnam county, Georgia.
We had by actual count 6,584 head
of cattle. Of these 90 per cent were
tick-infested, and to add to our difficulties
T5 per cent of the cattle were
owned by tenants.
We have spent to December 31,
1913, $3,781.46, and I calculate we
have saved in 1911, $3,000; 1912,
$4,000; 1913, $5,000, Total, $12,000.
Twelve thousand dollars saved
from an expenditure of $3,781.37
dating the active work in tick eradication,
and we shall never lose a
dollar from ticks hereafter. Here is
economy and yearly saving expressed
in dollars even during the most
expensive period of the work. After
the work is done, we have, as you
will have, more cattle than ever be
fore, better cattle, each head worth
more. Every animal butchered hereafter
will give fever-free beef, better
food, as well as more wholesome.
Even the hides free from ticks are
worth more for leather.
Every dairy cow will produce
more milk, more butter, and every
calf will come into the world with
stronger bones and constitution.
Cattle after tick eradication will become
a better asset in the banks.
Cattle are financially more liquid in
Putnam county, where we have a
cooperative creamery, than are
mules. With the cattle tick exterminated,
anv bank or individual may
advance money to an honest farmer
to buy cattle, regardless of his financial
standing. Bovines grow
more valuable per head and increase
in numbers. Men that banks could
not safely assist witn money to piant
cotton, may be, indeed, have been,
loaned money without loss to the
lender, and with great benefit to
the borrower. The man who will
not assist in supporting such beneficent,
practicable, economical work
for his county as tick extermination,
can be compared only to the man
who will not play a hose charged
with water on a burning house,
thereby to extinguish the fire. The
pestiferous cattle tick is not a native
parasite. it was brought into
Georgia by Spanish cattle driven
from Florida northward. The South
cannot, must not, remain handicapped
with such an unnecessary,
pernicious burden. B W Hunt.

POETIC REPARTEE.
Political Opponents In Dactylic
Hexameter Give Tit for Tat.
Representative Samuel Wallin of
the Thirtieth New York district,Amsterdam's
millionaire carpet manufacturer,
recently franked to the editor
of the Fort Plain (N Y) Standard
an assortment of garden seeds.
Then the editor wrote for flower and
garden seeds for others,and also for
a few rose bushes and peach trees.
He voiced his acknowledgment in
these words in the Standard:
"Away with douht, away with
fear! At last I know that spring is
near, for Samuel W, our M C, has
had the mail bring righ; to me, a lot
of seed that sure will grow, for Uncle
Sam has told me so. I find that!
I'm to have some beans, also some j
beets, and with them, greens. Of
squashes I will have enough, to war-1
rant the giving of this puff to one i
for whom I did not vote and whose
election got my goat. And corn? j
Why, what a lot I'll have?perhaps
enough to make some salve. And
radishes galore I'll own,if evjer I get
those free seeds sown. While pump-1
kins, lettuce and turnips long will all i
be mine. I can't go wrong if I but
to my garden stick and hand it many
a hardy lick, instead of writing stuff
like this, which shows how far my
mind's amiss. I thank you, Samuel,
for spring needs; but I wish jou'd
come and plant the seeds and keep
my garden nice and neat?the best
thing I can do is eat."
Congressman Wallin came back
witfi tnis:
"I have your favor, writ in print,
in which you give to me the hint
that flowers seeds will do for you
and ask the same for others, too. To
send you these it is my pleasure and
that, too, in goodly measure. Your
hate for garden work I note; also
for me you did not vote. I'm tempted
now to spade your range, if you
will find it wise to change. If your
sole pleasure is to eat, surely I can't
afford defeat; so let us all together
get and we may be quite happy yet.
So far as roses are concerned. I'll be
dog'oned and also derned if Uncle
Sam gives out a root, though you
walk from here to there afoot; there
are limits to which he reaches, but
not to roses or to peaches."

It should be pleasant to take,
