The Boil Weevil And Cat
tie Raising

Our county has shipped
many cars OF cattle the past
few months. The good prices
obtained has no doubt in
couraged these heavy ship
ments while the shortage OF
the cotton crop in many Sec
tions has caused the denud-
ing OF that particular Sec
ton OF it's surplus cattle. In
talking with those familiar
with conditions in the wosrt
boil weevil sections we learn
that the farmers in order to
tide over the stringency
caused by the cotton failure
have sold their cattle and in
a great many instances their
milk COWS. These people
have begun to see their mis-
take. Cattle raising will no
doubt be found a good mon
ey crop to replace boil weevil
Gotten. Adams county
which was one of the hardest
: hit counties by the boil Wee
vii has turned it's attention
to stock raising with most
satisfactory results.
A Live Stock Growers AS
sociation has been formed
and everything is being done
to encourage this branch of
farming, better breeds OF cat
tie are being. brought in and
the result is, over Is cars Of
cattle have been shipped, in
many instances bringing a
price higher than western
cattle. Our county must
profit by the experience Of
Adams. We have seen sew
eral cars of milk COWS ship
ped from here. The prices
must not cause our farmers
to part with all their milk
cows. You need them to
raise more beef cattle. Keep
your cows, improve your
breed and in a year or two
one good beefer will bring
as much as half dozen OF the
little tick infested yearlings
now being shipped. We
would like to see many more
cars OF yearlings being ship
ped but these should be re-
placed by others OF more val
ue. It is as cheap to raise
q good steer as a poor one
and we can yet make this
county one OF the best stock
countiesin in the state we, have
the means and should study
the question more.

Martin then moved that the case be
dismissed but County Judge Bushey

the Jury that she made her living by

five dollars week from her husband

Physicians Testimony Vital.
A physical examination was made of
the little girl by Drs, Byrd and W.
carlton Smith to ascertain whether or
not she was chaste and the investiga.

had moested her, testified the physi-

Judge Bushey and formal order will
be issued this afternoon which will take
the girl out of her parents custody.
According to the chief of police the
matter will be investigated further. 1t
is possible that further prosecution will

that the present case is not the extent
