v ? BEWARE OF CATTLE TICK. How South Carolina Has Bene< i flted by Eradication Work. I Editor County Record:? I . We herewith beg to submit t 1 brief summary, obtained from the \ United States bureau of animal in dustry office, Columbia, S C, of tic& I eradication work as it was conduct B B ed in this State during the last year, co-operatively between the United BH States bureau of animal industrj fand Clemson Agricultural College. The work began in April, 1914, and was conducted in twenty-two counties, embracing an area of 13,258 square miles, approximately onehalf the area of the State, with the following results: On September 1 the counties of Dillon, Lee, Newberry and Sumter were released from State and Federal quarantine. The counties of Chesterfield, Florence (north of Lynches river), and Marion are in condition for release this spring. These counties embrace an area of 4,025 square miles if n?4 maIaOOO/] X rctll UX u^hs Oliu inccutu uvui quarantine with one years work. In addition to the territory released w the work has been one-half finished ^ in nine other counties ond completed : \ in six counties that had been released prior to 1914 and in each of f which a few premises remained under local quarantine. The last General Assembly approt priated $30,000.00 for this work; L this was supplemented with an equal H amount from the United States buJS reau of animal industry. As a reA suit of this expenditure the benefits derived are as follows: there are 35,320 head of cattle in the area HE released this year. They have increased in market value $3.38 pei head, or a total of $119,381. There 9b has been a 15% increase in milk pro^9 duction, a 13% saving from loss bj j death due to tick fever, and an in P crease in value of hides. These amount to another $100,000.00 This makes a total of $219,381.0( increase in values derived from the work in one year, with an expenditure of only $60,000.00. The cattle owners in these areas are now ship ping their cattle to the open competitive markets and are importing safely pure bred sires to improve the quality of their present strains In this way they are establishing i profitable live stock industry. There fore you readily see that the appro priation was a good business investment. At the present rate of progress il will take about three more years tc complete the work in the State, TTT-.l _ |??A AAA AA iUI, wun a $dv,uvv.vv apprupriauuu tins year the work can be conducted ir very county that is still under ^ quarantine. If it is not appropriated the work will be suspended and a great part accomplished this year will be lost. R W Holcombe, Sec'y Columbia Chamber of Commerce. Columbia, S C, January 22, 1915. ENDORSED AT HOME. Such Proof as This Should Coovloce Any Kiugstree Citizen. L t ' . . The public endorsement of a local f citizen is the best proof that can be produced. None better, none stronger can be had.- When a man comes forward and testifies to his fellowcitizens, addresses his friends and neighbors, you may be sure he is thoroughly convinced or .he would not do so. Telling one's experience when it is for the public good is an act of kindness that should be apk preciated. The following statement k given by a resident of Kingstree adds one more to the many cases of home endorsement which are beB ing published about Doan's Kidney E Pills. Read it.

Editor County Record:? As you no doubt are aware there 1 has been (or will be at an early date) a bill introduced in the State Legislature to force or compel the farmers of South Carolina to grade and tie up their tobacco before they can | sell same. Being a warehouseman of the State f | for the past twelve years I am fully j ' acquainted with the tobacco situation both from the standpoint of the farmer and the buyer, and knowing what I do along this line, I feel it my duty, in justice to the tohftcco! growers of South Carolina, to re *- 1 1^*11 1%/v nnfi'l quest in at tins uin uc nciu up umu the masses of the tobacco growers can be heard from, as I am positive that the larger proportion (M the tobacco growers are against such a movement, especially when the true facts are put before them. The communication from Mr N A McMillan, appearing in The Enter1 prise of the 14th inst is in a large measure misleading. No doubt Mr McMillan is honest in his assertions, but evidently he has based his conclusions from information obtained from a small number of the tobacco growers and a very few warehousemen. I feel that Mr McMillan should not push this bill until he has heard from the majority of the tobacco growers. Below I will give you a few of the misleading points in Mr McMillan's communication: First?"To amend the law regulating warehouse charges so they will be reduced to the North Carolina scale." This word "reduce" used in this connection leaves the impression with the farmer that he ' would sell his tobacco for less warer house charges, which is not true. After his tobacco is graded into sevJ eral piles and sold as on the North Carolina basis of charges,the charges ' will be more per thousand pounds f instead of less than they are today " in South Carolina. - Second?In the comparison of " prices it is unfair for Mr McMillan " to quote the prices on one particular > market. He should have quoted the average prices for the entire States of North and South Carolina, and 1 not take out the Wilson market " from the hundred or more markets " North Carolina. Wilson is located " in the heart of an exceptional tobacco territory?a territory that : grows the finest cigarette and smok ing tobacco and the finest wrappers in the world, and has long been 5 noted for this type of tobacco. In 1 a general average the old Palmetto State's average is right up with any tobacco producing State. The actual ' loss in weight and cost in grading 1 and tieing is over two dollars per hundred pounds, which claim almost every farmer will agree is true. All tobacco sections have their own true value and eastern Carolina stands first and has for many years. The Winston-Salem market, the leading market in the State of North Carolina and the biggest manufacturing point in the world for tobacco, is now averaging less for its tobacco than the State of South Carolina averaged for the past season. And about all the re-drying plants in South Carolina are equipped for handling South Carolina tobacco in the leaves and it would cost a hundred thousand dollars or more to make this change, and very likely could not be done in time to take care of the coming crop, which would be a great drawback to the situation. Every tobacco grower in the State of South Carolina is well aware that when the middle of September comes that most of the buyers leave for the North Carolina, Virginia and other markets. Then the bulk of their tobacco would be left at the mercy of the few.
