DAMAGE BY TICK
GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR e. N.
NIeHBERT TELLS OF THE
QUARANTINE.
PLAN FOR DETERMINATION
A Letter Was Received BY Commits
sioner Watson and President oaoos
of State Famers' union-The Dam
aoe To Cattle Is Great.

Columbia. that the state
OF South Carolina is losing over $l'-
100. 900 annually and that the loss 10
the South is $4O,OO0,00O by cattle tick,
E. M. Nighbert, inspector OF the
United States department OF agrlcul-
ture. addressed a letter to Commis-
sioner Watson and Presidents Dabbs
of the state farmers union, suggesting
certain methods OF eradication. The
suggestions were indorsed by the
state farmers union at the recent
meeting held here.
"The state is suffering" says the
inspector, "the ban Of quarantine on
account OF the plenetic fever of cattle,
which is produced and transmitted by
the cattle tick, The presence OF this
tick makes breeding, feeding and mar
keting of cattle Improbable and haz-
ardous. The losses, conservatively
estimated, the result OF this disease
producing and blood-sucking parasite,
are s1.1OO 900 annually to the state OF
South Carolina and s40,000,OOO to the
south
"The feasibility Of complete EXTERN
ination of this disease producing par
asite from every plantation, farm and
COW lot, has been known for 15 years
and confirmed by every Southern
state. BY a thorough knowledge OF
this condition, individual effort ana
concerted action, this menace to your
cattle industry may be removed from
every plantation, farm and COW lot
within the short period OF from IL
to nine months.
South Carolina is strictly a farm
ing section. Your worthy citizens and
coworkers are now laboring with a
condition that is adverse to their In
terest. You are interested in the pro
duction of the most valuable crop and
by product cattle feed in the world.

Lake community for more than twenty
years, since his ordination which took
place at the Lake Johanna church in
May of 1892.
The churches of this charge are we'll
scattered, one church with the parson-
age being located in Lake Andrew town.
Swift county and the third in Pope coun-
ty. This involves much hard driving on
the part Of the pastor. Rev. Jordahl has
so long been an active citizen of the
community that his removal will cause
much regret, not only among his parish
toner's but as we'll among all other peo-
pie who knew him.
His congregations here tried every ex-
pedient to induce him to remain, but
when they learned that his decision was
final, steps were taken at once to call
a successor. The East church held
meeting Monday to agree upon candi
dates to be submitted.
