Elsewhere in this issue will be

and cotton in Robson county

ton will give three prizes, amount

yields of corn from one acre; and
The Robesonian will give two
premiums, amounting to $75, for
the best yields of cotton. These
premiums are offered in the
hope that an even deeper interest
may be manifested in getting all
thatit is possible to get from any
given piece of land. We know
nothing about farming and new

Cattle Ticks Lessen Yield of
Beef And Milk

From the Bureau of Animal Indus
try, United States Department of Ag-
riculture, Washington, D. c.
IL A cattle tick that has reached
the engorged stage weighs about
5 grains, and about 1.5OO such
ticks weigh a pound. AS cattle
in the tick region often carry
many thousands of these blood
sucking parasites, and as each
tick during the period of it's at
tachment to an animal draws
considerably more than it's own
weight in blood, it can be seen
that these ticks constitute an
enormous drain on the cattle
which they infest. This &C
counts for the fact that under
such conditions it is impossible to
fatten cattle even on rich pasture
and with an abundance of good
feed, A large part Of the nour-
ishment that should go toward
producing beef and milk is
consumed by the ticks. In ad-
dition to the loss of blood and
nourishment there is the never
ceasing irritation caused by the
ticks, so that the existence of
the infested cattle is beset with
continuous suffering, and this of
course also tends to keep them
in a poor condition.
The shrinkage in the milk pre-
duction Of a COW harboring many
ticks will average one quart a
day, and the loss occasioned
thereby at 3 cents a quart for
the 875, 900 ticky dairy cattle out
of more than 1900, 600 below the
quarantine line would amount to
S26, $50 a day. Counting 300
milking days for each cow to the
year wonld make the loss from
this cause 81, $4,000 per annum.
Full information as to how to
get rid of the ticks, including
directions for the preparation Of
dips and sprays, the arrangement
of pastures, etc., may be obtained
free upon application to the

partment of Agriculture, Wash

OLD BOUNDARY DISPUT

Washington Cor. 2Oth Charlotte Observer.
Attorney General T. w. Bick-
EFT, representing North Carolina
and Attorney General Charles T.
Gates, Jr., and former Governor
Stone of Tennessee appeared be-
fore the Supreme Court this
morning and on original motion
asked that commissions be an
pointed to take proofs and make
preliminary surveys along the
boundary line between North
Carolina and Tennessee, and re-
port to the court the findings.
This is fer the purpose of settling
a dispute of long standing be-
tween the States. There are
two strips of land in dispute. one
ten miles long and three and a
half wide, and the other seven
by one-half miles, both States
claiming them. From time his
toric this controversy has been a
source of annoyance to the au-

border. Blood has been shed in
fights over it. Sheriffs have not
been able to apply the law to
their citizens. Il the Supreme
Court thinks we'll of the PROPOSE

COOK A FAKE.
Copenhagen Scientists Decide

Pole.

Copenhagen Dispatch, 21st.
The report of the special COM
mittee of scientists which theUn-
iversity of Copenhagen appoint
ed to scrutinize DIR. Frederick A.
Cooks claims that he had dis
covered the North Pole was sub
mitted to the consistory of the
university this morning, endorsed
by that body, and given to the
public.
Tho report skaters complete
ly, almost contemptuously, the
great American explorers title
to such a discovery, and fills the
officials and people of Denmark
with chagrin at the figure Den
mark is made to assume in the
eyes of the scientific world. The
public was prepared for a YER
dict of mot proven, but did not
expect it's recent hero to be
branded as an impostor. Many
still cling to the belief that Cook
acted in good faith, but harbored
a delusion.
Explorers and scientists al
most unanimously have lost faith
in Cooks honesty, while one of
his warmest supporters, Knud
Rasmussen, the explorer, helped
to frame the report. The eve
ming papers severely eproach hin
for hiding, which they regard as
a sign of guilty conscience.
The rector Of the university
DR.. Salomonsen, when questio once
as to the possibility of the uni

which it conferred on DR.. Cook
said that no decision had beer

porous.

Charlotte Observer.
The Robson county farmers
surely have no cause to complain
of their farming operations this
year. They made good money
last year, when they produced
81, 900 bales of cotton. This year
their cotton production amounted
to 60, 600 bales, which was sold at
a large increase above what
they were paid for the crop of
the year before. Besides, they
produced much more corn and
other supplies than they did last
year OR at any other time. II
looks like the Robson county
farmers are going to have fat
bank accounts this year and te
live at home"besides.
