TO ERADICATE
THE CATTLE TICK

Columbia, S. c., Oct. 22.-(Special.) }
Tt is conservatively estimated that
the cattle tick causes a loss of be-
tween fifty and one hundred million
dollars annually to the south" This
statement is made by DR.. K. NJ. Nigh
bert, of the United States bureau of
animal industry, who has charge OF
arrangements for the cattle dipping
vat TO be installed for demonstration
purposes at the Fifth National Corn
Exposition here next January. by
cooperative efforts" says DR.. Nigh.
bert, the tick can be eradicated from
any farm, no matter what the condi-
tions, within six to nine months"
This cattle dipping vat at the ex-
position will be used to demonstrate
the practical use of this most effective
and most certain method of ridding
cattle of this pest This demonstra-
tion is one feature of the comprehen-
siye exhibit from the federal depart
ment of agriculture, which, together
with the educational exhibits from
many state agricultural colleges and
experiment stations, and competitive
exhibits from many states, gives the
exposition it's recognized value as a
potent factor in the agricultural de.
velopment OF the nation.
"The cattle tick prevents safe breed.
ing, handling and marketing of cattle
because it transmits disease to every
animal it infests," says DR.. Nighbert,
in pointing out the necessity for the
eradication Of the pest The cattle
tick is easily, permanently and mex
pensibly eradicated by dipping cattle
in a concrete vat containing the. stan
dard solutions"

RAILROADS TO
REFUND MONEY
Corporation Commission to Cut $4oo,.
600 Railroad Melon For the
Public.

| AS the result of an agreement be-
tween Chairman Love and Commits
lsioner Henshaw on behalf Of the Okla
homa corporation commission and the
presidents OF the railroads operating i'm
Oklahoma, reached in st. Louis on
Monday of this week, the corporation
commission will soon make distribu-
tion of four hundred thousand dollars
to Oklahoma freight shippers. This
money is the fund that has been ac-
cumulated in freight collections in ex-
cess of the commission scale of rates,
while the railroad appeal from the COM
mission orders has been pending in
the supreme court. The railroads have
decided to drop the fight and put the
commission rates into effect. All per-
sons or concerns who have paid freight
on carload shipments between points
within the state Of Oklahoma during
the last year, or since the rate orders
We're appealed. should get their paid
expense bills together and be ready to
show claim for their part of this fund.
The railroads Will pay the excess
charges to the commission in a lump
sum and the commission will make the
refunds to the shippers.
The two cent passenger fare case is
still pending.
The victory thus secured means, in
addition to this big refund, a saving to
the shippers of the state of at least
100000 per year, the amount increas-
ing in proportion to the volume of
traffic done Every town in the state,
and nearly every business concern, will
share in this division Of the fruit of
the commissions efforts
