FLOOD KILLS CATTLE TICKS.

The agricultural department at
Washington has found what II con-
slGers a great blessing which has re-
suited from the floods in the Miss
lsslppi valley which Is explained In
press bulletin by Secretary Wilson.
He says that the recent floods In the
Mississippi valley have given the
planters an exceptional opportunity
to deal decisive blow against the
tick which transmits splenetic or
Texas fever OF cattle. When the wa
ters began to rise the cattle, wher-
ever possible, were taken to the high
er lands, such as mounds and the
leyees. While the cattle have been
greatly concentrated in this manner
the ticks have been destroyed In the
pastures. It is true that the cattle
tick is somewhat resistant to water,
but the long duration of the food
and the force of the current in the
present instance have undoubtedly
practically, II not completely, EXTERN
mated the tick in all except high To-
calltles in many counties In Arkansas,
Louisiana and Mississippi

FARM DEVELOPMENT IN THIS
COUNTY.

Great work is going on In the way
OF developing new farms in Josephine
county. Perhaps the undertaking
that claims the greatest attention is
that Of the Leonard Orchard com
pany which has expended many
thousands OF dollars within the last
few months In preparing It's land for
crops. The Rogue River Orchard
company has put the largest amount
OF land under cultivation but II has
taken a year longer than the work
done by the first named organization.
r. r. Kroh, whose property adjolns
this city, has expended large sum in
the Improvements on his land and II
being under irrigation, grand results
may be looked for. In the Fruitdale
district there has been much land
cleared and put to crop and II is safe
TO say that the farmers OF that sec
tion will have forage enough for
their stock. All over the county the
work OF clearing small farms is going
on and 1912 promises to be a record
year In this part OF Oregon These
Improvements have been Of great
value to laborlng men and have CON
tributed largely to the business in
terests OF Grants Pass.

IMPORTING POTATOES.

The official figures show that
more than 100000 bushels of po-
tatoes have been imported from for
eign countries during the last few
months Canada has furnished a
considerable portion, but by far the
largest part came from Europe,
These figures would indicate that the
United States Is not very good po-
tato country, and yet this is not the
case. The soil of nearly all the
states is adapted to potato growing
and we Just simply lack the energy,
ability and help to do the work, The
high price of labor induced many
farmers not to put in a potato crop
last year What will be the output
in 1912 is hard to say, but, from
facts which have come before the
public, the United States will not be
required to go abroad for It's potato
supply next winter. 1t is only fa!y
TO point out that our potatoes in
1911 we're attacked by disease and
this accounts to some extent for the
large importation. Josephine county
will not be obliged to ship in potatoes
even from other counties In the
state, as our farmers planted many
acres this spring

the enactment OF this bill into law

drctlon in factory and on the farm
Tie does not think It would injure the
country merchant, who has been
among the chief opponents. On the
contrary, he Is convinced eventually a
parcel post would help the country
merchant as well as the farmer. In a

said, In part

That patients suffering from exc

with less marked degrees of 'nlar9e-
ment of the thyroid gland is illus
trated by a well authenticated case
in which showed almost no symptoms
expect very quick and irritable
temper which caused him on sever
al occasions to be brought up into
the police court charged with wife
beating. Operation revea led a
distinctly enlarged thyroid; its par
tial removal caused a marked i'm
proVement in the mans disposition.
This case led to a wit that if he ever
got into a difficulty on account Of
his quick temper he would plead
that he was suffering from hyper
thyroidism. Such plea of partial
responsibility on account of thy
roidism (indIced by taking thyroid
tablets eXcesS) was actually made
in a police court recently, The
Tourpol of tho A ruoriaoD Modioot
Association called attention some
time ago to the risks to health incur

to get thin by this usually IRA

MaI.y people take calomel to cure
constipation, and it does cure it for
one day, but two or three days later
they are sicker than ever. That is
one of the after-affects of calomel.
This is the reason why J. H. Go, d
mans drug store will not guarantee
Ca.om, to be harmless. But we do
guarantee Dodson's Liver-Tone to
be perfect substitute fer calomel.
DodSOns Liver-Tone will cure con-
stipation and bilious attacks and
keep them cured. by stimulating and
tOning-up the liver to do its best
work. 1t is a vegetable liquid with
a pleasant taste and hairless to chill
dren as well as grown people. 1t
livenS up the liver by natural
methods, does not act so strongly as
to weaken the body, but is safe and
sure just the same. You can buy
