xaz CATTLE TICK.
some Facts About 1t Not Generally
Known to All.

some Facts About 1t Not Generally
Known TO All.
The common cattle tick is q famil.
lar sight to all our people but very
few outside Of these engaged In the
cattle business realize the important
part 1t plays In hindering the develop
ment Of the cattle industry In the
state. The cattle tiok carries tho
germ" that GAUGES Texas fever, q
disease very fatal to grown cattle.
CATTLE that are raised on lano ilfest.
ed with TICKS are inoculated with the
germ by becoming infested with TICKS
Immediately after birth. At tkis age
they suffer q very mild attack Ut che
disease with ne visible external iymp-
tomD and after they have Iassed
through 1t they are then proof ae ainst
the infection and can be EXPOSED to
ticks later In life without harm. But
II cattle are raised on land on which
there are no ticks and are after wards
moved to tick.infested lands, they
will become infected with the disease.
They will also suffer from the disease
IL they remain on the land on which
they were raised and tick infested cat
tie are introduced among them.
Because Of these facts the Federal
Government has established aQuaran.
tine line across the country dividing
the regions infested with ticks from
these In which there are no ticks Ma
chttle can be moved from the tick in.
tested regions across this quarantine
line except whom they are being ship
PED for butchering to q slaughter
house which has direct railroad con-
nectiOn. South Carolina Is placed be.
low this quarantine line among The
tick, infested regions. Hence, cattle
cannot be shipped from this state to
points above the quarantine line ex-
cept for Immediate slaughter. Cattle
for dairy purposes, or for feeding O,
breeding arc barred. Thus, the market
for the cattle produced In the state is
considerably restricted.
Some Of the states include Within
the tick infested area, notably Vir.
ginia, North Carolina, Texas and Ok.
lahoma, which had within their boun
darieS an area In which ticks existt d
only on a few farms or ranches, have
succeeded in having such areas placed
above the quarantine line, thus open.
ing new markets for tho cattle RAISED
therin. This vas accomplished by the
passage OF q law by the legislature es-
tablishing q state quarantine dividing
the slightly infested area from the
other part Of the state and the eradi-
cation OF the TICKS from the infected
places In the slightly infested area.
When these conditions we're brought
about tho state quarantine line was
then adopted by the Federal Govern
mont and made a part of the national
quarantine line. This plan is lust a
feasible in South Carolina as in an
of the states mentioned. In a great
part Of the state since the passage OF
the stock law the cattle tick has be-
come almost extinct and exists only
on a place here and there. The first
step In the matter, however, must be
taken by the legislature.

PEOPLE WARNED.
SOME EAOTs ABoUrTHE COTTON
STALKS PAPER COMPANY.
The Tradesman Cautions Intending
Investors to Look Gsrofully
into the Business.

The Chattanooga Tradesman in Its
next issue will call attention to a re-
GENTLY organic d company that has
been heralded by Its promoters as one
of great value to the South, in that it
converts a hitherto waste product into
articles OF daily consumption and
great commercial Importance thereby
adding many millions of dollars to
the productive wealth of the South.
This company is styled the Cotton
Stalks Products company, and was In.
cOrporated under the laws of Maine
with q cspitaljz ,tion Of $15, 900, 600 as
stated In the original announcements
made concerning 1t, although another
statement from one OF the promoters
gave the information that this capt.
ta}zat1on was on the basis of SO, OOO,-

sl2, 600, 600 OF common stock.
lu reply to a letter from The Trades.
man to MI. w. p. G. Harding, Of Bir-
rnfngham, president OF the First Ma
tional bank Of that city, and who was
named as n Ct the directors Of this
company, MIR. Harding makes the fol-
lowing statement:
The understanding, however, upon
which l author'z ID the use OF my
name as q director, is distinctly that
only so much of the stock, probably
about $500, 600, shall be offered for
sale at present, as may be necessary
to build, equip and finance one mill,
to be located at ono eligible point,
and that future stock eff rings to the
public are to be based entirely upon
the actual results obtained by this
mill"
In the announcement made of the
promotion OF this company, together
With an explanation Of It's plans, and
whioh appeared exclusively In the
Now York Commercial, such details
are given as would indicate that the
enterprise bad passed the experiment
tai stage, for in the body Of that an.
"nouuccment, Harvie Jordan, it's pres
ident, Is quoted as saying: Paper
manufactured from cotton stalks is of
the strongest texture and softest fin.
ish. Several plants will be erected
during the next few monthsi la certain
sections Of the South, which will be
In fun operation by January /, 1907"
From this statement one would
naturally infer that the company was
possessed Of abundant capital already
with which to inaugurate its plans,
for Mr.. Jordan distinctly says ''seve.
rat plants" are to be erected In the
next few months, and yet Mr.. Hard
Ing says In effect that the company Is
without money and will rely on sales
OF stock to secure funds to erect an ex
perimental plant and on the practioal
results Of which all future sales OF
suck are to depend.
Ftom these col filcting statements
Toe Tradesman feels warranted In
suggesting to this cotton producers
and people OF the South that they de-
mand frcm the officers Of this compa
ny the fullest explanation Of its plans
and how Its capital stock has been
distributed and for what an tquiya-
lem; and we request the press Of the
South to aid us in this matter to the
end that no stock CT this company
shall be sold or offered for sale save
under the conditions set forth by Mr..
Harding.
