SOME VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS

BY HERBERT H. SMITH.

ful. and should know how to use the cust omary po.sons-Paris green and arsenate of lead beyond that. any great technical knowledge would be
 unnecessary. The necessary material and tools should be carried on all trips
 With our good roads and with auto nyobiles al our disposal such inspection could be rapid and not very costly, as compared with the probable results. l do not know that the plan has been used against Q, her insects l feel al- IAost sure that, properly carried out, II would be successful in this case.
 The farmers themselves are widely scattered and could not be formed quickly into working body The board of trade, which represents them ss well as the business world, would seem to be the proper medium. pe~ haps some plan could be devised by which the farmers could share in eX- Ienses.
 Two or three other suggestions may make. Circulars. stating what loisons are most reffectual, and giving plain directions for using them, should Le issued. Farmers should be warned to keep a supply of poison in the house and to have all ready the means of applying it: the pests increase so rapic- y and often appear so suddenly that oven days delay may be fatal with the crop. Finally all cotton growers should be urged to inspect their fields at least twice a week, walk ing between the rows and examining the plants on each side; if one is in- fected it should be dusted with poison at once, and the neighboring plants sh ould also be dosed; the operation may te repeated after a few days. With these precautions there is no reason
 why any farmer should lose more than small percentage of his crop.

O'NEAL TO ANNOUNCE
 COURTMARTIAL FIND
Captain Todd's Friends Aver Per- sonal Injury Led to
 Outbreak

Montgomery, August 4-(Speciai )-Pend- ing the arrival of Gov. Emnet O'Neal in Montgomery there will be no announce ment made at the capitol of the findings of the courtmartial body which has been sitting in the Capt. George H. Todd case. The military officials, along with the Montgomery witnesses, have returned to their homes, but as yet Adjut. Gen. Joseph B. Scully has made no state, ment as to the findings of the court, the sessions of which have just concluded.
 Prevailing opinion around the capitol and in military circles is that the court will return a verdict of a breach in the military discipline, the offspring of which is expected to be expulsion from the National Guard of the state.
 Friends of the Montgomery officer who has for several years presided over the local battery of artillery strenuously con- tend that the injury received by the of- ficial on the day of the disturbance was responsible for the outbreak.

DOUGLASS SAYS
 CROPS ARE GREAT
Washington County Man Is Enthusiast on Subject
 of Tick Eradication

Howard Douglass, a prominent cattle raiser and farmers of Mcintosh Ala be ma, was In the city yesterday. MT. Douglass was very enthusiastic about the prospect for a bumper cotton and corn crop and stated that conditions were iceal for a fine harvest. He also states trat tick eradication Is going on in washington county wtb splendid results.
 Conditions eare ideal in Washington ha said. The cotton fields have been well cultivated and the weather has been favorable. Until recently the weather had been perfect, but then rain set in and after several downfalls rust began set ting upon the cotton. But during the last few days the weather has settled anc rust has disappeared.
 Besides the fine cotton crop the corn will be fine While the early corn was very disappointing the second harvest will be large. The late corn Is in as fine condition, as any I ever saw and I am ex- ceedingly pleased with the outlook. This will be great year for the farmer.
 But the most interesting subject to me personally is tick eradication Although this affair has been called a failure I think it would be the best thing in the history of the state if the tick were erad- ioated This can be done.
 If the farmers would realize the great results that can be secured through this york they would immediately start to work. Cattle cannot be grown success fully with tick. With the presence of these pests the cattle are smaller and sell for less.
 If the cattle raisefs could only be ed oated to the fact that this work can be ao accomplished by their cooperation with each other, times would be better lave tried this and l find it to xbe the best thing I ever accomplished. The average cattle can survive with ticks trt how much better could they be raised without these pests? A COW infested with the ticks will weigh less. eat more and thrive poorer than one can imagine.
 T tried to raise the Durham cattle bu' was unable to accomplish anything or account of these pests. The small cattle when they are bitten by the ticks take fever and die, while if they are not in fested thrive finely. and are the bes' ca tile that can be raised.
 q do not think that they can be raised successfully in this part of the country without the eradication of these pests. II the farmers could only be educated to thu fact as to what it would save them year ly by tick eradication they would adop
