for the period named Is twofold. Not
only is the pasture freed from ticks,
but its disuse during that time will
probably cause less Inconvenience and
expense than at any other season, and
It will be benefited by the rest and will
have a better growth of grass the fol-
lowing summer. In some sections where
pastures are utilized throughout the WIN
ter, to vacate would probably necessitate
feeding the stock. unless the farmer is
situated SO that he can keep his stock
on one pasture while another pasture Is
kept vacant. But 1t is also true that
beginning with September there will be
more abundant supply of rough feed
about farm which can be utilized. Au-
gust is most favorable month for maxi
ing a start toward freeing premises Of
ticks by the method suggested.
The animals should. OF course. be free
Of ticks when they are again turned on
the pasture In July. Where the owner
has a small number Of cattle. greasing
or spraying them with Beaumont crude
petroleum Is good way to rid them Of
ticks. When the number Of cattle is
large or when dipping vat IL conven-
lent 1t may be more practicable to dip
them.
Full information as to how to get rid
Of the ticks, including directions for the
preparation Of dips and sprays, may be
obtained free upon application to the bu-

HOW TO KILL OUT
TICKS ON PASTURES

washington, August 1S.-(special)-Tne
month of August lends itself well to
the eradication Of cattle fever ticks where
a pasture rotation plan is used. By
vacating a pasture during this month and
keeping it vacant until July Of next
year 1t may be freed Of ticks. and II no
tick-infested animals are allowed to en-
ter after July the pasture will remain
free. The United States department Of
agriculture advises farmers in the tick
region to take advantage Of this favor
able time 20 far as practicable.
Pastures from which live stock is re-
moved for sufficient time become free
Of ticks by q process Of starvation. as
the ticks cannot live to maturity II they
are unable to get upon animals. The
time required for all ticks to die after
the stock has been removed from infected
fields and pastures varies considerably,
depending on climate. season and wealth
er conditions. Experience has shown.
however, that the period from septem-
Der l to July ! Is sufficient, and this
appears to be the most convenient time.

Dan T. Gray of Auburn passed through
Birmingham yesterday on his way to
5umter county, where a big farmers in

Mr.. Gray is in charge of the animal
Industry department of the Alabama Agri-
cultural Experiment station and is alsa
an instructor in this work in the Poly

sentative of the United States agricul-
tural department in the cooperative work
that is being done IN Alabama in ami
NAL industry.
1.-THE increased interest that Is being
taken in the raising of stock by the
farmers of Alabama is very encourage

come Of as fine cattle for all purposes
as can be found in the country. There
are a number of progressive farmers
who are taking an active and intelligent
interest in the raising of fine hogs and
cattle and the industry is proven TO be
profitable in every way.

advantage TO be derived from the indus

STATE FUNDS FOR
HIGHER EDUCATION
FERGUSON LAUDs LAST ADMINS
TRATIoN FOR ITS WORK IN BE-
HALF OF INSTITUTIONS OF
LEARNING IN ALABAMA.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
Several times recently editorials
have appeared in The Age-Herald con-
demning the present state administra-
zion for the alleged extravaganza ap-
propriations of the last legislature to
the university at Tuscaloosa, the
Polytechnic al Auburn and the GIRLS
Industrial al Montevallo, and I can't
mass them without entering my feeble
protest.
II is a matter OF record that just be-
fore Governor Conner went into office
he got the heads of the various educa-
tional institutions of the state-no'
only the three mentioned above. but
the state superintendent OF education
representing the common schools, and
also the normal colleges--to make
budgets Showing what extra appropri-
atfons they needed from the incoming
legislature. Mr.. Gunnels. for the de-
partment of educa ton, said an increase
of 100000 per annum by direct ap
preparation of the legislature was an
the common schools could ask for. The
higher institutions made their budgets,
and urged appropriations to cover them
provided they could be made without
sacrifice to the common schools, and, to
make a long story short, every depart
ment from the common school and high
school up to the university got all they
asked for; something that never could
have been done except for the genius
Of the man that put 1t through.
But what surprises me most, Mr.. Edi-
tor. is that a paper of The Age-Herald' s
well known broad mindedness at this
late date, or at any date, should enter
q regular ''knock"-this is the most
appropriate world I can think Of
against liberal appropriations for the
higher institutions of learning in this
state.
DR.. Palmer's school at Montevallo has
repaid the state many times over for
every dollar invested in it in the matter
of common school teachers 1t has fur
nished, good housewives it has made
and it's general influence for good

throushenr he state. I am glad to say
yours x 1hs first adverse criticism I
have heard from any source of the
MonteTalao appropriation.
As for the Auburn appropriation, l
believe tire state would be justified In
every cent of this expense. If that in
stitution taught nothing but its sum-
mer school for farmers, showing them
modern systems of farming and mar
keting their products. how to fight the
boil weevil. etc. and didn't do any of
the splendid work 1t always has done
In teaching boys to be good farmers,
electricians. engineers and numerous
other useful vocations
And lastly you condemn the appro-
priation for the old university-a pop
ular target for the demagogue, but not

system in Alabama at all, aren't we
obliged TO have head, and If SO, must
we not maintain it? Where are we to
set our high sch DOL teachers, our COM
mon school teachers. our engineers, our
doctors, IL not at the State university i?
One of Alabama's very weak points
in an educational career has been Its
inefficient teachers in the common
schools where are those teachers
themselves to be taught and their eff
fciency raised If not at the university
summer school? So don't cry "extrava-
CANT" because the univ ersity got its
first appropriation since 1884 in order
to put up three much needed new build.
ings and repair the old.
You ought to be appanding instead
of knocking, Mr.. Editor, that one gov
ernor and one legislature did its full
duty to the colleges
That education begins at the top and
works downward instead of beginning
at the bottom and working upward is
a truth so well recognized that It is
almost trite. The greatest of all
teachers. some 1900 years ago, got his
primary education | suppose at home
or at the public schools. We are told
for certain. however, that he spent his
youth studying with the wise men at
the college, or university. laying a
foundation for the greatest and most
influential career in the history of man
kind.
venture to make this prediction
That as result of the splendid ap-
preparations to the higher Institutions
of learnings by the last Legislature the
next ten years will see a most won.
derful stimulus in the growth, both In
numbers and effectiveness, of our com.
mon schools and high schools that viii

In which she belongs. Very respect.

FOR A MAIN ENTRANCE

The University campus has no en-
trance to the university campus as
really called main entrance This
is not as it should be. The main en-
trance to the Uniersity campus as
prescribed in the ground plans is the
one on Eighth street. The condition
of the street and the unattractivcness
Of the entrance has in the past made
this entrance about the least used of
any.
A main entrance-an entrance
wherein official guidance to the
grounds of the university is made
should be distinctive feature to the
campus decoration. There should be
some place so arranged that a unity
of our campus scheme will be upheld.
At this place there should be an
official mark of entrance. An arch
way or at least upright stones at
either side of the entrance. An arch
way with suitable legend would be
the most appropriate.
The Eighth street entrance would
be the logical one for such a plan
1t is broad enough and opens direct
ly from a street at one end of which
stands the columns of the city and
at the other end the columns of the
university. The street should be
beautified and the entrance improved
so as to be more than merely main
entrance on the pictured plans of
the university grounds.

THE BAREFOOT BOY.

About this time every year, after the
trees have put out foliage and the grass
mas grown soft and velvety, the bare
foot boy may look, he is supremely
clad in knee pants, d biue-checkered
waist. and on his head is perched a
remnant OF last years straw hat.
which he occasionally persists in pull
ing down to the tips OF his ears.
But it matters not how the bare
foot boy make look, he is slIprcmely
happy. His long anticipated pleasures
are now being realized. Tanned
cheeks, freckled face and dirty feet,
are his chief delights. No person on
earth ever feels more contented witt.
his lot than the barefoot boy.
And why should he not feel con-
tented and happy? Turn back your
own memory TO the time when you
were a boy Do you not remember
how happy you were then? Do you
not recall how pleased you were when
the first warm spring days came and
you stepped lightly about barefooted?
You remember how you always man
aged to stump your toe on every rock
-.iat happened to be in the way and
had to go limping for days. You re
member how you hated to wash your
feet every night before going to bed.
You remember how. on hot sultry
days, you left your work to rush to
the swimming hole to danSle your feet
in the cool water away from the
scorching rays of the summer stn
All these pleasures and delights are
to the barefoot boy. He should be
allowed to enjoy them for it is this
sort of play that makes the man.
