TICK ERADICATION
GOOO INVESTMENT
SOME STARTLING FACTS IN CON
NECTION WITH WORK.
Statistics Show How the Work of the
State Has Increased Value of
Cattle in This State.

Jacksonville following facts of the
wonderful benefits of tick eradication
have been obtained by the United States
department of agriculture from more
than one hundred Mississippi farmers
who own cattle and have eradicated
ticks from their farms.
/. What were the approximate an
your county from 1900 to 1909 inclu
sive? 1875 per cent.
2. What was the approximate value
of all the cattle that died? So, 132, $40
annually.
8. What has been the annual loss OF
cattle from tick fever since tick eradi
cation started IL per cent.
4. What was the average value of
year old steers in your county from
1900 to 1909, inclusive? 2 1-4c per ID.
s. What is the average value OF >
year old steers now? 3 1-2c per Id.
An increase Of IS per cent.
6. Is there any difference in the
average weight of cattle now and be-
fore the tick eradication was started :
Yes. How much? 1877 per cent.
z. Is there any improvement in the
grades Of cattle in your county since
the work of tick eradication started!
Yes.
8. DO you use COW n as a fer

Conditions in Mississippi previous to
tick eradication were briefly as follows:
Cattle on hand 1909, $4,000; loss of
cattle annually from tick fever, 1875 per
cent or 171,OOO; value of cattle that
died of tick fever annually previous to
the eradication of the tick at $12.47
per head, $2,132,37O.
Present Conditions:
Cattle on hand 1910, 9O7, 900; loss Of
cattle from tick fever. this year, IL per
cent, 9,977; value of cattle that died
of tick fever this year at 1880 per
head, $13S,6S0.
The mortality from tick fever is re.
duced 161,O23 head.
The amount saved annually to the
state by reducing the losses plus their
increased weight and value would be
S 2,23s,219.
The eradication of the tick from Mis-
sissippi means an increased valuation
and consequently a profit on the total
number of cattle in the state in 1910
of S%6.934,0OO.
Assuming that the increased vaIua-
ton is practically the same in all the
cleared sections, it is found that the
cattle have increased in price from
$5s,119,eoo to $so,Os5,3sO, a ncs profit
of $21,965,7s

Bill for New County.

The bill seeking to create the new
county Of Stone by taking slices Of ter
ritory from the counties of Harrison,
George, Perry and Forest, promises to
provoke one Of the l~iveliest fights of the
legislative session. The people in the
territory affected are apparently in fa-
vor of the new county, but a stiff fight
will be made by citizens in other por-
tons OF the counties involved. How
ever, sentiment in the territory involved
is not unanimous by any means, as
of the citizens are seeing visions
of heavier taxation for the building of
d courthouse, Jail, etc.

resigning Oh November 80, 1871.
The delta section of the state has
furnished the last four governors, Lon
gino being from Washington, vardaman

MISSISSIPPI CENTENNIAL.
Senate Passes Resolutions Endorsing the
Exposition.

0eudtC -
Exposition.
,Jnckson.-With the Inauguration cere.
monies and the election OF a United
States Senator disposed of the legisla-
tive wheels of the Mississippi house and
senate moved faster Wednesday. Both
houses transacted considerable business,
the senate especially being in an in
dustrious frame of mind. The senate
bv a unanimous vote adopted a concur
rent resolution indorsing the Mississippi
Centennial exposition to be held at Gulf
port in 1917, and memoralizing congress
to invite foreign nations to participate in
the celebration of the o~ne-hundredth an
niversary of the birth of Mississippi as
q state.
The senate settled the question as to
whether or not the legislature would call
on the supreme court for an opinion as
to the validity of the constitutional
amendment adopted by the people max
ing circuit and chancery court judges
elective. The house notified the sen.
ate that the lower branch had indefi.
nitely postponed the senate resolution
calling upon the supreme court for an
opinion as to the validity of the amend
ment. Senator McLaurin then offered
another concurrent resolution couched in
different language, asking the supreme
court for an opinion. A spirited debate
followed, which finally ended in the de-
feat of the McLaurin resolution that the
legislature will insert the elective judi.
ciary amendment into the constitution.
The senat committee IN agriculture
brought in a favorable report on the
memorial to congress to abolish the New
York Cotton Exchange. The measure
was debated at the afternoon session and
finally recommitted.
The senate also passed a bin requiring
all corporations to file reports of their
origin with the secretary of state within
thirty days after their incorporation. A
penalty of $50 is imposed on each stock
holder of corporations that fail to comply
with the requirement to file reports. The
house gave the tipping" evil a swat
by passing the bill introduced by Mr..
Mayes of Copiah. The bill went through
with only five negative votes, while 1913
members voted in favor of it.

Jackson.-Much interest is being

Fires.
The object and aim of the society
is, as the name indicates, solely and
purely the prevention of fires (all of
which are the same size in the begin.
ning) by an endeavor to cooperate with
the property owners and policy-holders
in the effort which it is believed can
be most successfully carried through,
to cut down the present enormous fire
waste in the state of Mississippi.

Save the Trees!

Cannot something be done to save the
trees of Washington from the caterpil-
lars? Surely there are methods Of tree
spraying and protection that could be
adopted by the local authorities each
spring to check the ravages Of the worms.
A couple of years ago much good work
was done in this way, and last season
the trees we're in consequence compare
lively immune from the insects. This
year, however. they have reappeared, and
on some Of the streets in the city the
caterpillars have almost destroyed the
foliage, seriously to the detriment Of the
public, which needs at this season Of the
year every possible square inch Of shade.
Perhaps the absence of the aung
worms last year gave false assurance
this spring. for few precautions were
taken to keep the caterpillars out Of the
trees. such as binding with sticky paper
or cotton WOOL Had every tree In
Washington been thus wrapped two or
three months ago the melancholy

Another Sacrifice.

The other day some forty lives were
crushed out on the Lackawanna railroad
at Gibson. n. Y, as a result, apparently,
of the carelessness of the engineer OF an
express train which was sent crashing
into a local running in the same direction
but temporarily stalled by a wreck
ahead This road represented as high
a state of efficiency as may be expected
in this country and yet it's system went
for naught and long record of virtual
immunity from disaster was broken
through one mans inattention. or indif-
ference. or recklessness. against which
the company had not interposed an ef-
fective mechanical check At Ligonter.
Pa, a few hours later. a collision oc-
CURED on a little ''jerkwater' mining
road and twenty-five people were killed.
This line, too, had a long record of
safety, not life having been lost in the
forty years of its existence. True. it is
but ten miles in length and there Is but
one passenger train on the schedule. all
the remainder Of the traffic being freight,
mostly coal mined by the owning cor
poration. Railroading under such condi-
lions would seem TO be an extremely sim
pie proposition. and yet here is q wreck

The Democratic Leadership.

Norman Mack said at Seagirt Thursday:
Woodrow Wilson will remain the leader
Of the democratic party during the next
four years whether he Is elected or not
A compliment gracefully paid by q guest
to his host. but an q fact open to question.
Even II elected Mr.. Wilson may not
remain the leader Of his party during the
four years Of his term. Mr.. Cleveland
failed to remain leader during his second
four years. In fact, his leadership broke
down within q few months after his In
auguration. He secured the repeal of the
purchasing clause Of the 81 erman silver
act. but only with the aid Of republican
votes led by John Sherman. He lost his
tariff battle against Mr.. German. and by
1896 was practically without q following
In the democratic party. The nomination
Of Mr.. Bryan that year on a free silver
platform was a scornful reputation Of
Mr.. Cleveland by the democracy.
Mr.. Wilson's job will be quite as diff
cult To succeed he will have to handle
a combination Of supporters-the same
task that confronted Mr.. Cleveland in
March, 1893. Not every democrat now
shouting for the Baltimore nominee Is q
progressive Of the Bryan school In the
enthusiastic host are many conservative
men who preferred Judge Harmon for
candidate. So that Mr.. Wilson as Presi-
dent will have to arrange q program ac-

his powers.
