rid of them; why not do it promptly
and save the tremendous losses which
they are causing the South every
year?
We know the South will free
itself Of this terrible burden on it's
cattle industry, and had it not been
already proved that it is entirely
practicable and profitable to eradi-
cate the ticks, we should still be con-
fident that the ticks will be eradi-
Gated, merely from consideration
of two facts: Cd knowledge of the
great losses which they cause each
year, and CD the ease with which
they can be eradicated from any par
ticular farm. We can not and will
not submit to these losses when we
can prevent them at so slight cost
and with so little intelligent effort.
The people of the South are wax
ing up to the Importance of this ques-
ton and with view to aiding all our
readers to a full knowledge of all
the facts necessary to an intelligent
understanding of the work, we are

More Hogs and Better Farming.

Messrs Editors: Your effort to
encourage our Southern farmers to
raise more live stock, especially hogs,
is commendable one. In all my
experience as a breeder (Which is
only 40 years., the outlook for hog
breeding has never been as good as
at present. With the best of climate
and other environments, it is pass
ing strange that our Southern farm
ers do not raise more hogs. We have
always to fear over-production and
low prices Of cotton and these same
cotton fields, or parts of them, can
be turned into hog pastures and
more profitable results secured with
less than half the labor, with no pos
sible doubt or fear Of over-produc-
ton. Think of a shortage of 81
100000 hogs, and prices sky-high,
with no likelihood of lower prices
for several years to come.
With the least outlay of means to
start into the business and quicker
results than from any other class Of
live stock, our farmers still persist in
raising cotton and buying meat. In
this section of the country we do not
always make corn but l find hog
raising more profitable than any
other stock, with sheep a close sec
ond | SOW rye, wheat and oats, and
some times rape, for winter pasture;
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-07-02

sorghum for spring and summer
pasture. Keep hogs on pasture all
the time except at narrowing time.
Some times we have four to eight
months drouth then our pastures get
very short and play out.
In other parts of Texas and the
States your esteemed paper circu-
lates in, the people do not seem to
recognize their great advantages for
hog raising. They can produce all
the grain crops for pasture, besides
rape, peanuts, pumpkins, potatoes,
Bermuda grass and many other
crops, so we conclude there is no ex-
cuse for farmers in your section not
raising more hogs. This will greatly
increase their profits, besides will en-
able them to have their children in
school, whereas in cotton production
they are kept out. More hogs-more
profit, more schooling, better homes.

eral experience of failure in attempts
to eradicate such pests, when once
introduced, may we'll account for the
past Indifference of our people and
for their reluctance to believe that
its eradication is practicable; but
modern methods and the extension
OF knowledge have brought about
new conditions. There are now no
cheap lands in this country except
in the South. The large herds of
cattle on our Western natural pas
lures have given place to general

gree of prosperity can come to the
South. Whatever we obtain in the
way of better schools, good roads and
greater home comforts must be
bought with the products of the soil
To increase soil fertility, therefore,
is the first step in securing increased
prosperity. While live stock may not
be absolutely essential to the eco
nomical increase of soil fertility,
there perhaps never was a perma-
nently successful system of agricul-
ture maintained. anywhere, at any
time, which did not include a large
measure OF live stock husbandry
The growing of live stock is every
where recognized as helpful 10 the
upbulding and maintenance of soil
fertility. and among the animals kept
on the farm none plays more inn
portant part in this work than cat
tie. They are large consumers OF
coarse farm products. and the dairy
COW is the most economical animal
producer OF human food.
1t is. therefore. entirely correct to
state that the cattle industry is close
ly associated with the most economi-
cal methods OF increasing soil fertil-
ity. There are many reasons why
Southern soils are not as productive
as those of some other sections and
there are many causes why cattle
growing Is not large industry with
us, but in considering these matters
we can not ignore the lack of cattle
growing as one OF the causes OF our
nnproductivc soils; nor the fact that
the presence of the cattle tick is one
OF the important causes for the alb
sence OF n successful cattle husband
ry. Later We shall discuss the direct
losses caused to cattle growers by
the cattle ticks. but ut present we
merely wish TO call attention to the
great loss TO Southern soil fertility
and our agriculture in general from
the fact that cattle raising has been
largely unsuccessful because of the
presence OF the cattle ticks.
The Tick Helps Make Poor Soil.
The effects OF the cattle ticks have
been far reaching. They have not
only made cattle raising Improbable,
but have prevented the building up
of cattle industry. which would
have meant much to the South in the
increased crops which our soils
would have produced. The direct
losses to the South from the pres
ence of the cattle ticks are computed
in tens OF millions annually; but
there is probably a greater loss suf-
fered from the indirect effect which
this obstacle TO successful cattle rails
ing has had in depicting soil fertil-
ity and crop production.
II the absence OF a large cattle
industry is responsible for even a
small part of the difference between
80 bushels of corn per acre and the
Is bushels we now grow; or for only
n little of the difference between a
bale of cotton per acre and the two
fifths OF bale we are now produc-
ing, we may truly estimate the losses
caused the South by the cattle ticks
by hundreds of millions instead OF b,
tens OF millions of dollars annually
The presence of this parasite o

agriculture, and the call is for more
of the food products furnished by
cattle.
The invasion OF the South by an
other parasitic pest, which threatens
the most profitable production OF our
chief crop, cotton, has caused us to
turn to consideration of live stock
production, with an interest never
before approached. The cotton boil
weevil will not prevent the growing
of cotton, but IL will make diversified
ton Of crops and increased soil fer
tility necessity to successful farm
ing. There is but one general and
serious obstacle to the growing OF
cattle in the South. This obstacle is
the presence of the cattle ticks. The
production of forage is so easy and
our climatic conditions so favorable
that cattle growing must appeal
strongly to those who are considering
any form of live stock husbandry;
but the presence Of the cattle tick is
too great an obstacle to enable us to
meet modern, intelligent competition,
notwithstanding our many natural
advantages.
The Tick Must Go.
In view of all these facts 1T seems
to the writer that nothing but stu
pidity or ignorance can account for
any mans indifference to the present
movement for the eradication of the
cattle tick. We know that an in
crease of the cattle industry is OF
great Importance to the development
Of our agriculture and that the ticks
are practically the only obstacle to
the successful development OF that
industry. We know further that the
eradication of the cattle tick is prac-
ticable; in fact, that it is compare
lively easy when few simple, wei
! established facts regarding the habits
of the ticks are taken advantage or
