Tick Eradication in South

To the Editor or The Ase-iiei anu
 During the first week in December at
 tended the annual meeting of the Ohi'eu states live stock sanitary boards. AL
 ,his meeting the federal and state veter-
 nary insneetors who are in charge of the tick eradication gave their respec'Ve re ports to the association. These reports consisted of definite statements concerning
 the counties or parts of counties in the
 various states that had Been cleaned of
 cattle ticks during the past summer, and
 were recommended to the federal authori-
 ties for release of quarantine. Ihe re-
 lease of these various territories will De
 ordered some time about April l, 1912.
 Among the states securing releases from
 counties. etc. we notice that South car
 olina will get relief, or have the quaran-
 tine lifted, from five entire counties and
 part of three others; in Georgia one en-
 tire county; in Mississippi three entire
 counties and the larger part of four other
 counties It is gratifying to note that
 one of the counties that will be released
 by the. federal authorities Is in the south western part of Mississippi, and not less than 15o miles from the United States quarantine line. This is in compliance with an agreement made by the federal authorities with the state authorities that whenever a county became clean of ticks the quarantine would be lifted even if 1t were far below the quarantine line. Another interesting feature that dis covered on the recent visit to Missis- sippi was that Holmes county, with the exception of one beat. had been entirely | cleaned ob cattle ticks in less than a | n. olA county, the state and the federal inspect l ors began work in that county. and in less than six months all of that part l Of the county in which they worked was 1 cleaned Of cattle ticks in less than a obtained by the use of dipping vats and | the active cooperation of the people. In l other words, it is a result of the real | co-operation of the federal, state and the | county authorities with the people.
 Another factor of interest that we found in Mississippi, 53 counties out oi 76 in the state have taken np the work of tick eradication. and the prospects are favorable for statewide campaign against the tick. It is interesting to say the least to see such rapid progress and such good result.
 Recently while attending the Interna-
 national Live Stock show in Chicago many live stock men made inquiries about lands in the south. No doubt about the
 good live stock men and farmers being desirable immigrants. They form that class of farmers that are desirable and are wanted to locate in any or all states but as a rule they are anxious to go into the cattle business and inquire about the
 dangers of the cattle tick. Consequently not a few of them are kept away from the south because of the cattle tick. This
 is hut one of the many reasons for erad- icating the tick C. A. CARY, State Veterinarian. Auburn, January Q

OPPOSE THE SULzER SEAL RESOLUTION

Washington, January 3.-Opposition to some features of the Sulzer bill to make effective the fur seal treaties between the United States, England Russia and Ja- pan, developed today at hearing before the House committee on foreign affairs.
 Bestowal upon the President of the power to makes and enforce criminal statutes" aroused objection. Representa- tive Gardner of Texas and Representa- tive Foster of Vermont thought the bill too general in granting powers to the ex- eeutive.
 A. s. Houghton of the Campfire Club of America urged a 15 year closed season on seal The treaties prohibit pelagic sealing only.

 practically all of them from New England," pr. EVerman replied He add ed that Maine supplied most of these trained seals and that they were all of the harbor variety whose fur is not worth much.
 Captain Bertholf thought there still would be some pelagic sealing despite the treaty, as the citizens of the coun- tries not parties to the convention could fit out pelagic sealers and could not be disturbed as long as they remained on the high seas outside of territorial wa- ters

CHANLER DIVORCED FROM CAVALIER

Paris, January 3.--"If CaValieri comes in by the door, l will jump out by the window" was the statement made by according to the decision of the civil court here today in granting a di- vorce to Mime. Lima Cavalieri, the grand opera singer, from Chanler on the ground that Chanler constantly refused to receive his wife at his conjugal domi- cile.
 Chanler adhered to his purpose not to contest the divorce and the pro- ceedings were of purely formal chal acter. The court found that it had no choice but to accord a divorce in favor of Cavalieri.
 There were no pleadings and the Judgment was read in empty court It was pointed out that all legal require ments to preserve the union had been observed.
 When an authorized agent" says the Judgment, summoned Chanler to take up married life again, Chanler replied thta he declined to live with his wife, adding that he had had enough and had mapped out his life otherwise. It was set forth that when the sheriff visited Chanler with a summons Chan Ter finally signed it, saying he did so on condition that he would never again hear his wife spoken of The court then quoted Chanler's expression that if his wife insisted on entering the house he would jump out of the win dow and concluded by naming a liqui- dator to arrange the property rights of the parties. Chanler was ordered to pay all the costs of the proceedings.

AMPLEFUNDSFO
 CAME PROTECTION
Commissioner Wallace An nOunces Sum of $30,0O0
 Net Balance

Montgomery, January 3.-(Special.) )-Ac- cording to compilations made in the of- flee of State Fish and Game Commis- sioner John H. Wallace, Jr., the game and fish protection fund now has to its credit, outside of all outstanding obli- gations, the snug sum of about $5O,OOO. By enactment of the legislature at the time of the passage of this game and fish act, all funds derived from the stat utes were to be placed in single fund, to bear all of its expenses. All balance goes to fhe credit of the fund at the end of each fiscal year accumulates and cannot be expended by the state with out special legislative enactment.
 . By provision of the statutes, however, the sum can be used by the state when ever its treasury becomes low, but then only with the understanding that it must be replaced as soon as the strong box is repenished. Because of the embar- rassment which the treasury has felt at various times during the past three years the fund has been so drawn upon.
 The showing made by the department Is considered especially good, inasmuch as the money $ clear profit, and mon ument to MT. Wallace, who wrote the laws and who established the depart ment. ,.In addition to the establishment of the fish and game department, MT. Wallace has the unique honor of having established two other state departments that of the forestry and oyster com missions-each of which is self sustain
 ing. But the game and fish department so far has been the best money gatherer of the bunch, besides operating to pro feet natures pets of the forests and lakes.
 The strength of the department is es- pecally shown when it is announced that the expenses incurred by the department are necessarily great in the enforcement of the statutes There being no moral turpitude involved, it Is taken as gratl- flying that the state Is able to enforce all provisions to the letter of the law. The states income from the fish and game department is derived from the sale of hunters licenses, and from game ana fish convictions, in which the state gets half. Resident hunters of the county are reuuired to pay sf license; for hunting In other counties $3, and for non-resldents of the state to hunt in the state vl3 The expenses of the department consists Tn the paving of wardens commissions and in current expenses.
 The game and fish department started out in 1907 with not a cent in the treas ury, operating for the first four months at the expense of Mr. Wallace, who went into office to enforce the laws which he had written. At that time birds had been greatly decreased, but now the forests are again stacked, and the streams are aboundng in fish. Within five miles or the county of Mobile are to be found deer and turkey a condition hitherto impos- sibe while game galore can be found within 30 minutes of each town or mu- in the commonwealth.
 MT. Wallace is now preparing the an nual Bird Day book for June 4, author- ship of which is winning for him the lltle of the John Audubon of Alabama.
