TICKS INJURINC
CATTLE HIDES

w dSulIS COIi, -. w, hSIoIu ulIIS
to figures gathered by one of the
veterinary inspectors Of t h
Bureau of Animal In 1ustry, the
presence Of the tick among the
cattle of the south not only les
sens the value Of the cattle on
the hoof but causes the gradings
of hides that have been infested
with ticks as No. a quality.
The same hide, if free from
tick marks, would grade No. 2.
The difference in price between
these two grades of hides is 3
cents per pound. AS the hide of
southern steers weighs about AZ
pounds, the presense of the tick
in the hide causes a loss in the
worst and leave the farmer a net
profit Of about 76 cents per hide.
The hide situation is becoming
rather serious. A prominent
tanner in Pennsylvania states:
"For the class of leather we
make we prefer Southern hides
for chrome on account OF the
close texture and fine grain, but
on account of the ticks we have
had. Government specialist
point out that the cost of tick
eradication is only about SO cents
per head SO that if the counties
make a systematic campaign to
eradicate the tick.
A large percentage of the
chrome leather now produced is
finished with the grain left on SO
that all imperfections and tick
marks on the grain side show
very plainly. In the old days
when all the leather for uppers
was made from bark tanned
stock, all leather was buffed and
the grain was removed. Fol-
this leather tanners could use
cheap hides that were covered
with inperfections and tick
marks and make fairly good
leather. The situation today, as
it has been explained, is very diff
ferent as the public is demanding
more and more grained feathers
for which large proportions of
Southern hides will not be avail
able until the tick is eradicated.
Tennessee will probably be the
first state to be entirely free
from quarantine for ticks. It
already has eradicated the tick
in 81 counties and all that now
remain under quarantine are
parts of Marion, Wayne, Harde-
man, McNairy and Decatur count
les and all of Hardin, Henderson
and Chester counties. 1t is hop
ed that by September 1st these
counties will be free from ticks
and the entire State out of quar-
antine.
According to the specialists OF
the Department of Agriculture,
it has cost less than so cents per
head to eradicate the tick in
Tennessee and the cattle owners
as a result have gained not less
than $500 per head, thus adding
to the value of their stock. There
are some 5000, 600 cattle in the
counties already free from ticks
and the immediate benefit to
these owners has been not less
than So, 100000. The cost of
tick eradication has been only
$3.50, 600 so that the investment
paid for itself nearly IA times
over in a very short time. This
does not include the additional
profits which come from the fact
that now that the tick is eradicat-
edsmore cattle can be raised on
each farm and that the cultivat-
ed fields are made more product
i've by the increase of the amount
of fertilizer now available.
Costly Treat nent.

Cicago. July 17.-President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan are being flood
ed with letters from NorwegianAmer-
leans in all parts of the country pro.
testing against the appointment of AL
bert G. Schmedemann OF Madison, Wis.,,
as United States minister to Nor
way.
An Indignation meeting recently
was held in Madison at which a strong
protest was made against the appoint
ment. Opposition to Mr. Schmede-
mann's appointment was revealed in
private letters received in Chicago.
Committee Visits Davies.
A committee was sent to Joseph Il.
Davies, secretary of the democratic
national committee, who was In Madi-
son at the time Of the meeting, pro.
testing against the appointment and
urging that he do something to block
confirmation Of the appointment by
the senate. Davies, 1t was said, has
done nothing in the case, as Schmede-
mann. it is understood, Is one of his
old friends and political co-workers in
Wisconsin.
A campaign of letter-writing then
was started A flood of letters has
been sent to the president, Secretary
Bryan and Senator Nelson Of Mime
sofa. When Secretary Bryan learned
of the opposition to schedenann he Is
said to have told one Of the DIRECTORS:
Il am exceedingly sorry, but fear
the matter has gone SO far now that
nothing can be done"
The Objections.
The DIRECTORS insist Mr.. Schede-
mann does not possess the necessary
qualifications to be diplomatic rep
| resentative of the United States in q
| foreign country. In their letters they
point out that he never completed
| even a grammar school course, and
that his selection was based solely on
politics. They say he cannot make a
speech Ito save his life"
| In one of the letters to Senator Mel
son 1t Is stated Norway is "cultured
nation" and the United States can
I'LL afford to send diplomatic repre-.
sentatives of Mr.. Schmedemann' 8
qualifications to a country where cul.
ture and education are regarded as
prime essentials to the successful
career Of a diplomat"

U. S. ATTITUDE AS TO MEXICO
WILL LIKELY RECOGNIZE HER
AFTER HOLDING ELECTIONS.
Administration Leaders Admit Tina,
They Are Hard at Work on the
Question.

Washington, July 16.-Administra,
ton officials admit that the situation
In Mexico and diplomatic Inquiries
from Europe as to what the attitude
Of this country would be toward Its
neighbor on the south are engaging
their deepest attention.
Secretary Bryan had a two-hour.
conference with President Wilson
Tuesday, and while the Japanese
question and departmental appoint.
ments consumed much Of their time,
the foremost subject before them was
the Mexican problem Earlier in the
day 1t had been discussed at length
at the cabinet meeting.
Mr.. Bryan declined to say what the
policy Of the United States govern.
ment would be toward any European
representations, but intimated that a
announcement on the situation might
be expected in short time.
It is known that the administration
officials have been continuously op-
posed to recognition Of the Huerta
government until elections were held
and 1t has been expected that any FIJI.
ture declaration to the foreign pow
ers would be along the lines of the
Latin-American statement made by
President Wilson soon after he took
office. In this he proclaimed that his
administration would seek to make a
basis for intercourse with Latin-Amer-
lean countries on the principle Of gov
ernments set upon orderly processes
and not upon arbitrary or irregular
force.
He also stated that the American
government "would prefer those who
act in the interest Of peace, and hon.
or. who protect private rights and re-
spect the restraints Of constitutional
provision"
While the administration officials
have not expressed any opinion about
Mexico specifically, II has frequently
been stated informally that recogni-
ton would not he extended until the
constitutional machinery in Mexico
had been set in motion again to elect
new president to succeed the pro
visfonal president now acting. It Ia
believed that IN the meantime every
effort would be made to indicate to
the Mexican people that the United
States government expects protection
to Its interests through the present
government.

bious bookkeeping" he was now con-
WINGED that this characterization was
