the ticky country, and had to suffer though they had all the advantages of never having been infested.
 This was the thing that surprised the cattle buyers of the St. Louis market. The maximum weight of cattle raised in tick infested countries is 1000. MT. Lov- els cattle averaged more than 1900. One steer in the lot went over 1700 pounds The average age of the lot was years.
 This was a mighty puzzle to the buyers of St. Louis, but they understood when they were informed that MT Lovells plantation has been kept absolutely free from cattle tick infestation for the past five years, and these particular cattle never felt the life-sapping sting of tick.
 Here is a fine example of what can be cone in the south when "G-penny' politi- clans and skeptics permit the eradca- ton of this monster enemy to the cattle industry.
 What better proof can be desired than MT. Loyell's experience that the south should at once get rid of the tick?
 MT Lowell does not pretend to know more about stock-raising than the experi-

By WALTER HARPER

W. S. Lowell of Birmingham and Pal myra, Miss, is the best long distance farmer in the south.
 MT. Lowell is general manager of the Bessemer Coal, Iron and Land com- pany.
 A paragraph in The Age-Herald yes terday morning made the announcement that he had just sold 40 head of fine cat tie in St. Louis at the highest market price, and that he had astonished the St. Louis buyers with the fine quality of the cattle.
 This statement was not literally cor rect. The price was the highest ever paid for southern cattle, but the price was shaded little for the reason that they were southern cattle-that is, raised with in the quarantined section of the south.
 The cattle had never been infested With the Texas fever tick, but they came from

enced men of the United States agricul- turai department. When I called on him in his office in the Brown Marx build ing yesterday morning I found in his desk before his eyes every bulletin that has been issued by the department on cattle raising and cattle feeding for the past several years. He often referred to these during our conversation Those that he seems to have studied most are those that deal with the cattle tick

 The plantation has been in the Lowell family for 104 years. and is one of the finest in the valley
 Five years ago when it was seen ,nat the cotton boil weevil was inevitable MT. Lowell turned his attention to di- versifcation of crops and cattle raising. He stocked the farm with fine Hereford cattle and put up strict local quaran-
 
 able to overcome the timidity of politi- clans in power and the prejudice of his neighbor, so he put In force a law of his own, the law of self-preservation.
 No other cattle were allowed to be driven through or on his plantabon. The overflows also aided in the work of pre- venting infestation His neighbors were warned that ticky cattle allowed to stray on his plantation would be de- stroyed and their owners prosecuted. The warning was effective. and the result is that no cattle on MT. Lovell's plantation have been infected during the five years.
 This is why he can go to the big pack ing markets and get the maximum price for cattle that are much finer, heavier

and better than the average cattle that can be raised in the tick-infested sec tons of the south.
 Mir. Lowell made two distinct and sig niticant gains. One is that he increased the average weight of cattle at least 200 is that he received more than 2 cents per pound more for his cattle because of the fact that they were kept free of cattle ticks.
 It has been stated in The Age-Herald repeatedly that the south loses annually more than s3o,Oo0,0oo by reason of the cattle tick. And yet many people of al legged intelligence will argue and fight against eradication.
 MT. Lovelrs experience is particularly valuable just at this time because 1t dem- onstrates to a certainty the value or eradication.
 His net profit on the two cars of cattle, or 40 head. was S3069 10. His net profit per head was s76.5O He says that he can raise steer to 1900 pounds in three years without the use of commercial feeds. He is growing corn. hay, peas and other food crops on his plantation.
  cattle. He Is still growing some cotton in spite of the boil weevil. but this is a surplus crop.
 He has found that cattle are much more profitable, and then the land is be- ing improved rather than exhausted, as was the case when it was planted to cot ton exclusively He now has on nrs plantation 300 cows and lS0 steers.
 And not one cattle tick.
 
 By the way. the secretary of the de- partment of agriculture at Washington has just issued an order releasing large territory in the south from the govern- ment cattle tick quarantine. The or der was effective March 15
 The release covers almost 11,000 square miles and affects every state in the south that has not already been entirely re- leased with the exception of Alabama, Louisiana and Florida. Not a foot in any of the three named states has been released.
