With 100000 square miles cleared
Of the Texas fever tick" so fatal to
cattle not immunized, DR.. A. ID. Mel
vim, chief of the bureau of animal
industry, believes that the fight can
be continued until every disease car
rying tick Of this species in the Uni
ted States succumbs. To this end he
expects congress to appropriate $780,
900 in addition to $4,000 for the pur-.
pose of encouraging the raising of
blooded cattle in the cleaned-up area.
1t is also the aim of the department
Of agriculture to have the present
laws amended so that it will be nee
essary to clear cattle Of the ticks by
dipping them in an arsenical prepara-
ton before shipping them to the
northern markets. Originally the tick
was found in ten of the largest states
below the heavy frost line but It is
gradually losing ground before the
advance of science.
"As we eliminate territory Of
ticks we have to be doubly careful to
guard that territory" said DIR. Mel
vim in support of his plan for killing
the ticks before shipping cattle. an
case of accidents to cattle en- route,
by the breaking down Of trains or
something Of that sort the ticks might
get out and reinfest cleared area.
Then there is always the danger Of
ticks being blown out of the cars,
ETC."
The $4,000 sought by DR.. Melvin
is to be used in increasing the amount
of live stock and improving its breed
in areas where animal husbandry
and dairying have not been extsns-
lively carried on because Of the pres
ence Of ticks. Special attention will
be given to those districts IN Missis-
sippi and Louisiana and similar sac-
tions where the presence Of the boil
wevil has made cotton raising pre-.
|carious industry.

The agent at once dropped the

had the engine running like new. The
delighted farmer thereupon not only
found time to talk but to introduce

Transportation and cooperation

two keys to the rural situation today
and with this in view he never misses
an opportunity to urge the use Of the
parcel post and organization Of pro-

come from overplanting one year and
underplanting the next, and that .
better understanding with the con-
sumer will remedy this.
I'm the year 1901 the potato crop
was very small and the price wss cor-
irespondingly high" !" said he, iISus*sut-
ing this point. "This led to over-
planting the next year and the crop
was so large that the price was the
lowest in Ia years. This caused un-
derplanting in 1903 which again
brought on an abnormally large crop
the year following. and 30 it still
goes on. The farmer is confronted
with the difficulty that he does not

sends it to the city customer he is
afraid he will not get his pay for it.
On the other hand the consumer in
the city is afraid to order directly
from the farmer for fear he will not
get what he orders.
"The remedy for this is the organ
ization of a producers and consum-
ers' league. Farmers who join such
league should be made to give a
small bond that what they supply
shall be as represented and the city
consumer must give similar assur-
ance that he will pay for what he
gets. II 100 or more families bought

Des Moines. June 1O-Not only will
the republican state convention which
meets in this city July Is. name re-
publican candidate for state auditor.
but very likely it will nominate a man
who will be able to step at once into
the office Of state auditor and become
such fact.
For a long time 1t has been at least
assumed by many who think they know
that State Auditor Bieakly will be ap-
pointed state insurance commissioner
to take office July next. Whether
mains to be seen, but apparently there
is no opposition to the program. Some
time ago when one of his examiners
was forced out he started a campaign
to be appointed commissioner but IT
did not get far and only disclosed that
nearly all the people who know or care
anything about 1t were for Bleakly.
The governor has the appointment and
is saying nothing.
New Job For Some One.
The new insurance commissioners
probably viii be named this month. He
will take his Office fifteen days before
the republican state convention. II
Bleakly is the man he will have to re-
sign as state auditor. The Office Of
auditor could easily be left vacant
temporarily until the lapse of the two
weeks when the governor could appoint
the nominee Of the republican state
convention. This. 1t would seem, would
be the natural thing to do.
There are five candidates for state
auditor. Three Of them are connected
with the Office Of state auditor now.
Either one would be able to take up the
duties on days notice.
Careful observers have looked over
the field and speculated on probabili-
ties as to the nominee Of the conven-
ton but without reaching any salts
factory conclusion. 1t is pretty GER
tain the candidates themselves can
not settle it. II the nomination comes
as the result Of any combination 1t
must be a combination made by the
delegates themselves. Very likely
every one of the candidates will have
strong following in the convention
but neither one would be able to han
die his delegation for another.
