this paper wants to see in the way

traversed by our farmers who tray-

CATTLE TICK ERADICATION
Eefefprising Men of Florida Resort
ing TO Modern Methods

1t is gratifying to note that the
more enterprising cattlenen OF
Florida are adopting more mod.
ern methods for the eradication OF
the cattle tick-a parasite probab-
ly originally imported from lex
as.
There is but one sure method of
killing the cattle tick and that is
by dipping. Some of the Florida
cattlemen have recently construct
ed dipping vats and are dipping
their cattle after the method now
employed by the stockmen of the
Western states.
The tick not onlv reduces
the value of the hide to
the tanner, but it stunts the
growth of the animal and makes
it impossible to put on the norm
nj amount of fat and flesh and it
increases the amount of feed
necessary 10 sustain an animal.
Where the stockman has to feed
both the cattle and the ticks he is
in an expensive business.
Florida now has some fifteen or
twenty dipping vats and we may
expect a largely increased number
by another year. Alabama, we
believe, has some four or five hum
dred watts and more are being con-
structed right along.
The agricultural college ut Gain
esville or the department of agri-
culture ut Washington will furn-
ish free of cost to any farmer or
stockman full particulars and d.
agrams for the construction of
dipping vats and the formula for
the arsenic solution to be used in
them. Pensacola Journal.

FLORIDA'S GREATEST NEED
Is Dairy Farmers Conditions Fav-
orabIe TO the Industry

The timeis sure to come in the
near future when Florida will be
one of the greatest dairy states in
the Union, for there are practically
no obstacles to prevent it and a
great many decided advantages to
offer to the man who invests his
money in good milch cows.
In bulletin recently issued by
the State Agricultural Department
G. X. McQuarrie, assistant super
intendeDt of the farmers institute,
says:
''The money sent out of the State
every year for dairy products is
away up in the millions Of dollars.
This money could well be kept in
the different communities if we
had enough live stock farmers.
The protein feeds necessary to
feed dairy stock can be grown
here in profusion and in great VI
riety. Our cowpea hay, ana
ing 16 per cent protein, is ed q
pound for pound with the best
bran on the market. Our velvet
bean hay, with almost as high pro.
tein as the cowpea, and our never
failing beggarweed, are also equal
to any other protein feeds. Then
we have the SOY bean, the Kudzu,
and a few others that can 90 to
make a varied palatable feed, such
as a dairy COW wants. We also
have carbohydrate feeds in abund-
ance, such as japanese cane, sweet
potatoes, cassava and others, that
make our dairymen independent
to certain extent in the matter
of feeds from outside sources
'Another advantage we have
in the South over any other Sec
tion of the country is our climate.
We tlo not have to supply an ex-
ira 25 per cent of feed for eight
months of the year to keep up the
natural heat of the animal, as is
thecase during the cold weather
that prevails in the northern
states. -. =. We are also in we'll
watered section of the United
States, which is an important con-
sideration for live stock"

AN EXPLANATION
OF THE PRIMARY
AS REQUIRED BY NEW LAW
Some of the Salient Features Which
are Required to be Compli-
ed With

Editor of Herald:-I think il
would be of interest to the voters
to have presented some of the sal
lent features of new primary
election law. The primaries all
to be held the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in June, 1914.
The expenses of same are to be
paid by The State or by the county
as in general elections. In order
to vote at primary elections it is
necessary TO register every year
IN which general elections are
held. Registration books are 10
be opened in each precinct from
the first Monday in January, 1913
to the first Monday in March. The
county supervisor keeps his books
open for registeration from March
18th to April 18th. Poll taxes
for the preceding year are to be
paid ut least on or before the Sec
ond Saturday in the month pre-
ceding the day oe such election. !"
The exemptions from poll taxes
are the same as in general elections.
The politica! party affiiation of
each one is registered. The State
executive committee of each party
may declare the conditions on
which an elector may vote in their
party at the primary.
The assessment upon a candi-
date by the executive committee
is not to exceed two per cent of
the annual salary or compensa-
ton. In addition, each candidate
pays a "Filing fee" of three per
cent to the secretary of state. Ev-
cry candidate must make oath that
he has not violated any of the laws
Of the State relating to electors or
the registration of voters. A.
for county Office pays
filing fee of three per cent to the
clerk of the circuit court. The
State executive committee of the
party may declare for nomination
by primary, candidates for Office
other than those elective. The
secretary Of state has printed a
pamphlet, six by nine inches, for
zach county, separate pamphlets
for different parties. Candidates
for United States senate and State |
offices pay 800 per page; for con-
yress, $50; for officers to be voted
on in only one county, $40. Any |
may take as many as
four pages. The secretary of !
state sends them to the various
supervisors of registeration who
nail them out to the electors of
The respective parties. The sec
'etary Of state begins to deliver
hese pamphlets to the supervis-
)rs not later than The 25th day be-
'ore the primary, and completes

For at least a score of years past
there has been brutal and insen-
safe destruction of American birds.
Adequate protection has been de-.
MED them by reason, it would
seem, that "the sportsmen won't
stand for it. 1t may be the gun
ner won't; but every sportsman
worthy that estimable title, rather
than objecting, will be very strong
for such regulations as may be
made by DR.. L. G. Palmer, of the
biological survey of the Depart
, ment of Agriculture for enforce
ment of the Mclean law to this
end. The notion is erroneous
that our birds are the exclusive
property of those greedy and self
ish men who shoot up to the bag
limit. Ninety-five per cent, game
and not game, belong to the people
who haven't the remotest idea how
TO handle II gun.
Our shore birds are fast vanish
ing. Iere are, or have been,
more than sixty species of them
in North America. They frequent
the shores of all bodies of water;
but many are equally at home on
plains and prairies. They used to
swarm along the Atlantic Coast
and in our prairie regions; today
they are pitiably scarce. The
wonder is, they survive at all un-
der conditions so adverse to them.
In both fall and winter they are
shot along the route of their north
and south migration. They decoy
readily and persistenty despite
murderous volleys. Mr.. w. l..
McAtee, of the Biological survey
("Our vanishing shire birds. Civ.
70, indicates other ways by which
their existence is made precarious.
Nor need we plead for bird pro-
lection ON sentimental or aesthetic
grounds alone. Many species eat
such mosquitoes as are virulent
disselninators of disease germs.
Fifty three per cent. of the food
of birds from one locality were
found to consist of mosquito larv-
ae:and among the insects thus con-
sumed was the salt marsh mosqui-
to, for the elimination of which
certain states have expended much
in money and energy. Adult

stomachs uf several species of
birds. The North American few

devnnred by the killdeer and the
upland plover. Crane fly larve
are most destructive in grass lands
and whe 1t fields; shore birds are
avid of these flies. Birds again
are very fond of grasshoppers,
which are most destructive of
corn, cotton and other crops.
Twenty-tm ee species of shore
birds were found to have fed on
rocky mountain locnsts great
grain-consumers. Some of our
severeSt economic losses are occa-
stoned by insect destroyers of for-
age and grain birds. The army

and potato-worm are meat for the
avocet woodcock, pectoral and
Bard sandpipers, upland plover
and killdeer. The principal farm
crops have many beetle ene-
mics; birds thrive on these beetles.
Much else to the same effect is
on record. 1t were well indeed if

mon sense people who are capable
of making success wherever they
may go, but there are some who.
never made a success of anything
in their lives, no matter where
they were or what they UNDER
took. The former class exercise
good judgment in the purchase of
land for their new homes and go
to work with the determination to
succeed and they tlo so. Then
there is class who come who ex-
pect to find conditions far better
than they really are,so are dissap-
pointed and return TO their former
homes. Then there is class who
were never out Of city in their
lives and would not know the
head of cabbage if they saw it
growing, and expect to make a.
living from the start by farming
and truck growing. After coming
here some of these never go into
the country; before coming here
they have drawn upon their imagi-.
nation to such an extent that the
garden Of Eden would be dissap-
pointment to them. This is the
class that usually fill the northern
and western papers with false re-
ports regarding the conditions that
exist in Florida.
As farming and truck grow
ing State, Florida is a success. OF
course there are a number of crops
that are cultivated in the northern
and western states that have not
yet been successfully cultivated
in Florida, and never will. rs the
climate conditions will not permit
them. But there are enough
crops without these to make Flor
ida a success. On most any of our
fiat woods land as much as 4 crops
can be grown successfully in twel-
We months, and the yield of the
four crops will more than average
with any one Of the two crops
grown in the northern States.
