"FREE RANGE" INJURIES THE
CATTLE INDUSTRY.

While Cattle Run at Large the Fe-
yer Tick Cannot be Eradicted; and
the Presence Of the Tick Makes
CattIe-Raising Improbable, Retards
Soil-Building, Discharges lmmigra-
ton and Reduces Land Values.
Messrs. Editors: The old con-
ditions under which free range"
was profitable have passed away.
With comparatively no cattle worth
marketing and no market for such
as there are, high-priced and
scarce fences for protecting crops
against others cattle are unwarrant.
ed. Present conditions will not
change until farmers of the free
range area adopt stock law and
eradicate the ticks, for the quaran-
tine will be continued so long as
ticks are present. That the farmers
of forty-nine counties have extermi
mated and eleven counties are exter
minating ticks, marks the approval
of those who have tried in no uncer
tain way. These farmeds will pre-
vent the ticks being re-dessimated
by keeping out cattle from all tick
infested areas.

What Our So-caIled Pastures
Cost Us.

Can the little pasturage gained
from the woods compensate for the
fencing of cultivated fields, the loss
of manure scattreed in the waste
places, depreciation in cattle and
land values, and finally incorrect
farming methods? The only justi
ficatio for fences around cultivated
lands is to keep cattle on a part OF
them in turn. The 'free range may
have been justified in 100 A. D.,
but it is not now.
The outlook for the tick infested
section is not good While tick
eradication may spasmodically con
tinue in future years along the line
in the increasing '.stock law area
the free range" offers an obtacle to
progress. From present appearance
it will require an indefinite number
of years to accomplish the eradica-
ton that should be completed in five
at the outside. By local enthusiasm
and through volunteer workers even
three years might suffice.
1t remains for the upholder of
free range conditions to explain
why the immense tax entailed by the
cattle tick should be longer borne,
or Immediately to circulate petition
for the adoption of "stock law in
his territory and eradicate the ticks.
Conditions have changed. COOPER

The Cattle Tick Injuries all classe:
Of Citizens

eradication only concerns cattle
1t is popularity supposed that tick
owners Each inhabitant of the tick,
infested territory is concerned In
proportion as he owns land or deals
in.--or raises farm products or trades
with those who do. Bankers, store
keepers, plantation owners and al
influential people are interested and
should become active, ardent sup
porters of tick eradication. Why:
In the richest farming communities
cattle farming is not only an i'm
portant branch, but necessary one
in maintaining and producing fertil
ity. One hundred and fifty dollar an
acre land in Illinois and Pennsyl'
vania is maintained only by the aid
of cattle. If the farmers there were
to be compelled to give up their
cattle they would expect their lands
to deteriorate.
To advertise for immigrants and
to maintain free range" which per-
petuates cattle ticks, and thus pre-.
vents farming with cattle, are in
compat IDLE. Many Northern farme
with ready cash in his pocket has re-
fused to buy land south~of the quar-
antine line, and turned back If
lands cannot be used as desired, no
purchaser will be found. The sale
of a single farm in community en-
hances the value of the rest. Ticks
destroy land values
When one considers the quality of
cattle, their productive capacity, and
the losses by disease, the deprecia-
ton in cattle values produced by
ticks must certainly raise beyon
100000 per county. This would
$4,000,000 for the quarantined are
of the State of North Carolina alone.

WHERE MILLIONS ARE LOST.
AMERICAS Extravaganza as Shewns
in the Case of Highways.

The office of public roads under
the direction of Mr. Logan Waller
Page. has assembled some significant
facts. Only about 1906 of the q
10000 miles of roads in the United
States have been in any degree inn
proved. Almost SO per cent of our
public roads may be said to be in a
state of nature. This statement in
itself is not necessarily startling. A
man, even a Congressman, might
make the laconic rejoinder, "Well,
what of it?' Just this-if our public
highways were as good as those of
France the gain to American produc-
ers would exceed a quarter of abil-
hon dollars annually.
The average cost of hauling pro-
duce in this country is % cents
mile per ton. Were our roads, them
equal to those of France, there would
be gain to our farmers of Ii cents
mile per ton. During the crop year
1866 our more important farm pro-
ducts, which were hauled from the
places where they originated to ship
ping points, weighed in the aggregate
81, 49,, 900 pounds The average length
of haul of farm products in the Uni
ted States is "a miles. Hence a saw
ing of ii cents a mile per ton would
have meant to our farmers gain of
| S58 100000 On their more important
crops during the single crop year
| 1905-06. According to the freight fig
pres of the Interstate Commerce
Commission about $1,000, 900 tons
are now annually hauled to points OF
shipment When our roads equal to
those of France the annual gain In
hauling, based ON these figures, would
be $305, 0OO, 900.
