New York, July S.-This has been

FARMERS WILL FIGHT
DISEASES OF CATTLE
Legislature viii Be Asked for
Aid-Good Roads Are Urg-
ed. in Resolutions

UNION CITY, Ca. June 26.-Extensive
campaigns for the eradication of the
cattle tick and hog cholera and for the
scientific building of good roads in Geor-
gia have been inaugurated by the Geor-
gia division of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative union.
Committees, which were appointed at
the recent Fitzgerald convention. have
in their reports, asked for state appro-
priations to combat bog cholera and the
cattle tick. The legislature is asked to
appropriate from 5000 to $4,000 for the
equipment of the State College of Agri-
culture to fight hog cholera, while S.
900 per annum is asked for the war on the
cattle tick.
The building of good roads is most
strongly urged. The resolution on good
roads follows:
GOOD ROADS URGED.
Resolved, That the State Union Of
Georgia express itself as heartily IN
favor of good roads; that these
roads be built of the best material avail
able. in the most economical scientific
manner, to and from the most convenient
and desirable points for farmers, and
that the authorities in charge Of same
in each and every county of Georgia
keep constantly before them in the con-
struction of such roads the highest,
broadcast and best development of the
agricultural interest of our state.
The following is the resolution for
the eradication of the cattle tick:
Whereas, 1t is recognized that the
common cattle tick (nargaropus annula-
tus) is the carrier of the disease called
Texas fever or tick fever of cattle, and
said tick is a source Of constant loss
and a serious menace to the health and
thrift of all cattle in the state;
And whereas, 1t has been demonstrated
that said cattle tick can be controlled
and eradicated by simple methods and
at comparatively small cost per mill
tia district or county;
And whereas, II has been found that
the funds now available for control Of
