STOCK dRONING IN STATE.
Statement by National Department Of
Agriculture Relating to an Import
ant Industry I'm the South.

Washington, Especial. - Secretary of
Agriculture Mr.. James Wilson, says:
There are over 100000 acres of land
in North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia,
South Carolina and Virginia particu=
, larly adapted to cattle production and
grow the finest grasses and forage
crops of any soil in the country, and
the country must look to the south for
a considerable proportion of its meat
supply"
'This situation is becoming better
understood every day." continued the
veteran cabinet member. There are
millions of acres of land in the south
that are especially adapted to the pro-
duction of cattle, and there is no rea-
son why not only the beef supply, but
the supply of pork for American mar
kets should not be produced on the
soils of the south
Mr.. Wilson said that the one thing
that has prevented the south from. rap
idly progressing in the production of
live stock for markets is the cattle
tick pest, and that, he said, is gradual
ly getting under control At present
ICE, 900 square miles of territory in
the southern states has been released
from the tick quarantine and more
territory is being added every month.
Mr.. Wilson pointed to the fact that
North Carolina was the pioneer in dis
covering the cattle tick. Since that
time the pest has been slowly, but
surely, reduced until now it is practi-
cally under control. Commissioner of
Agriculture w. A. Graham was here
some time ago and asked that an ap-
preparation of 100000 be made this
year for the eradication of the tick.
Mr.. Wilson is heartily in favor Of the
appropriation being made.
In the south, it is pointed out, the
long growing season and the expensive
shelters for the wintering of the stock
which are required in the more north
ern regions are not necessary in many
localities in the south, and cattle may
be successfully carried through the
winter without providing any shelter
other than that at the open pen or
feeding lot.
Besides these thousands of acres Of
lands now Lying idle in the south"
said Secretary Wilson, there are mil
lions of acres now producing spring
and summer crops that could be profit
ably turned into winter pastures. For
instance, take the cotton plantations.
In a great many cases these fields, af-
ter the large cotton crop is gathered,
could be planted to winter pasture,
which would, instead of lessening the
productiveness of the soil, increase it.
Mr.. Wilson also thinks, like Commits
sioner Graham, of North Carolina, that
the southern states should produce
more corn. He said today that there
are great opportunities in the south
and the people are waking up to the
fact. In a short time, he believes, the
state will be exporting large quantities
of corn instead of buying in other
markets for home consumption.

the Importance of trees to us as a nation. The
American people have suddenly awakened to the
fact that not only is the lumber supply of the
country being exhausted at Il dangerously rapid
rate. with no prospect Of repenishing. but
yet. the wanton waste of our forests has sequel
in climatic changes that may mean hardship for
many citizens of the republic. Indeed some ex-
perts go so far to attribute this cause the

Tree Day" would be quite appropriate
name as Arbor Day for the spring holiday and
notable feature of its observance in the average
community consists in the planting of trees and
shrubs along roadsides and in other suitable
places. In some instances the work devolves. by
decree OF me-honored custom, upon magistrates,
local officials public.spirited citizens. but
the most part It is in the hands of the teachers
and pupils of public and private schools 1t is
not too much to say that Arbor Day like
eral other of the spring festivals. is primarily
young peoples holiday.
For all that most communities observe Arbor
Day in April the fact remains that it is a NOV
able festival and there are some sections of the
country where. owing to the climate 1t is desir-
able to have the tree planting exercises at
other time of year In majority of states
the date for Arbor Day is either selected by the
acting under legislative authority. Usually, SUI
perintendents of schools supplement the Guberna-
torial proclamations the subject of Arbor Day
by the issuance of open letters bearing upon the
aim and object of the holiday and with due ref
erence to the lessons it teaches.
The state of Nebraska gets credit for originat-
ing Arbor Day. for il the pioneer in what
has become a national movement. The individ-
ual who was the original author of the scheme
was none other than Mr.. ]. Sterling Morton, who
afterward became Secretary of Agriculture in the
Cabinet of President Cleveland during the lat
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1913-02-28

ter's second term in the White House. 1t was in
1872 that Mr.. Morton conceived the idea OF this
unique holiday and he forthwith introduced be
fore the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture. OF
which he a member. resolution setting
apart April 10 of that year as tree planting day
The legislature finally adopted the resolution
proposed by Mr.. Morton. although some OF
his colleagues thought that Sylvan Day would
be better title for the newly-created festival.
and there is portion of the public that inclines
to this belief today The new scheme proved an
emphatic success and more than million
trees planted throughout Nebraska on that
first Arbor Day. Not only were the children OF
the public schools interested from the outset, but
individuals and local societies of various kinds
participated This was due in part, no doubt to
the fact that the Nebraska State Board of Agri-
culture which created the holiday, offered prize
of one hundred dollars to the agricultural society
of that county which planted properly the largest
number of trees, and provided farm library
and a purse of twenty-five dollars for the person
who planted the largest number of trees.
The next year Arbor Day was observed through
out Nebraska with increasing enthusiasm and in
1874 the governor by official proclamation, desig
mated the second Wednesday of April as Arbor
Day for Nebraska. In 1885, when the legislature
of the state formally designated Arbor Day
braska can be taken example. the influence
of Arbor Day is certainly most beneficial and the
only pity is that other states could not have
placed the holiday their official calendars
early as did Nebraska. Statistics show that in
a period of sixteen years following the date
which Farmer Morton secured the adoption of
the Arbor Day project total of three hundred
and fifty million trees and vines were planted in
Nebraska as the direct outcome of this move
ment.
The first states to follow the example OF Ne
braska in adopting Arbor Day were Michigan and

Minnesota, which took action in 1876. Thereafter
there followed steady procession of other states,
the legislatures of which became converts to the
popular idea. In 1887 the movement took root
in Canada, the Educational Department of On
tario setting apart day which the trustees of
every rural school and Incorporated village were
desired to plant shade trees and make flower
beds. Oddly enough the State of New York did
not fall into line in this movement until the year
1883, but when the state legislature did take up
the matter it enacted very explicit legislation,
prescribing for exercises in the public schools
tending to encourage the planting, protection and
preservation of trees and shrubs
Thus far only foreign country has adopted
the American holiday known Arbor Day. The
nation that has paid this compliment of imi-
tation is Spain. but in the land of the Dons the
festival is known Festa del Arbol. meaning
the Fete of the Tree. The Spanish holiday was
inaugurated in 1896 and is celebrated earlier than
in this country-namely on March 2S. On the
first Tree Day in Spain the young King Alfonso
with the queen regent and the ladies of the court
proceeded to grounds situated near the village of
Hortazela. some two miles distant from Madrid.
Here the king planted pine sapng and two
thousand children selected from the schools Of
Madrid. Immediately followed his example. Then
gold medals commemorative of the event and
duly inscribed with the date were distributed
among the youthful tree planters. Although only
Spain has actually copied the Yankee customs of
Arbor Day several other countries. notably
France Great Britain. Japan and New Zealand,
have holidays that are very similar to our tree
planting festival
1t is probable that very few of the children who
plant trees or assist in planting trees Arbor
Day realize that the United States government
maintains a big institution the primary purpose
of which is not merely to encourage but actually
to carry planting. This establishment.

The "change of life " is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-

women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.

promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the

HOUSE MEMBER HAS NEW WAY
OF PAYING FOR HORSES KILL
Ed UNDER THE LAW.

Hon. II. anderson, OF Burke county,
has prepared a bill which he will in
troduce at the ~reconvenlng of the leg
islature. 1T is an amendment to the
act indemnifying owners OF animals
killed or destroyed according to law
for being affected with CHAMBERS.
AS the law nov stands, the expense
of appraising, killing and burying such
animals is borne by the county in
which they are killed, and it is the in
tent of this bill to change the law SO
that said expense will be borne by
the state.
The reason for this is to furnish re-
lief from the unjust expense saddled
onto the border counties wherein are
located the ports OF entry. as the gov
eminent inspectors condemn many
horses which are being taken to Can
ada, and the expense Of disposing OF
these animals from all over the state
must be paid by the people of these
few counties.
It is unjust to require this and 1t Is
contended by the people of such coln-
ties that the expense should be paid
by the state. Mr.. EndersOn's bill ap-
pears to be a just n and it will un-
| doubtedly receive favorable consider
