Year after year our state has lost thousands of dollars on account of the cattle tick. but we are glad to report that IS counties and a part of three others have cleaned their cattle, farms and ranges of the ticks during the last seven years.
 During the year of 1914, with the help of Woodruff County's farmers, merchants, bankers and all the other good people, we dipped more than 1000 cattle every 21 days. To do this meant something but with B dipping vats and all hands togather we dipped MT. Tick and dipped him good.

Woodruff County Free From
 Cattle Ticks.
1.

On Dec. 1, our county was de- clared free of the cattle tick and placed with the other free coun- ties of the state. This means much to Woodruff County and every owner of a COW is request de to keep a watch and if any ticks are seen to please report it to Dr. E. P. Yager, McCrory, Ark.
 The only way our county can get the tick back is by someone bringing in ticky COW and as a preventative the government IS watching all ferries across White River and when COW is brought across we are notified and see to 1t that there are no ticks com Ing into our country by inspetc- ing the COW.
 Getting rid of the tic spells money because we will all get more for our cattle, get better

cattle means richer soil. To-day each COW in Woodruff County is worth in any market, or at home five to ten dollars more than when we had the tick.
 This County has done her part well toward the eradication of the terrible tick, and no mis- take was made when we were released from the quarantine.

Gilchrist s Circular

Ex-Gov. Albert w. Gilchrist,
who sometime ago announced that
he would be a candidate for Unit
States Senator to succeed n. P.
Bryan, has stepped enthusiastical-
ly into the ring with a circular to
voters in which his platform of 16
planks is printed. He says :
"There are 16 planks in the plat
form. If you agree with nine,
majority, Gilchrist is satisfied; if
you agree with all he is dee
lighted F" In the center of the
circular, at the top, is a picture of
the candidate surrounded with
the following in bold-faced type:
Height, 6 feet 2 inches; weight,
one-tenth of a long ton; Age?
Unmarried, yet hopeful. The vot-
es of the unmarried and of those
who have been unmarried will al
most elect him. He wants your
vote. He has never made, direct
ly or indirectly, as much as one
cent from public office. He has
never directly or indirectly, sold
any influence he might have had.
An old negro prayed that a chick
en- be sent him. None was sent.
He then prayed that he be sent for
chicken. He went and got it.
Gilchrist is not sent by any man
or set or clique. He is just going
after this chicken. He will get
it too-if he gets votes enough.
He wants the votes of prohibition
lists, the Suffrage-to-gets, local op-
tioniSts, corporationists, and ants,
the rich, want-to-bes, the poor and
don 't-want tO-bes, the good
Pharisees, Publicans and Sinners. :"

Fertilizer Not Affecting Quality
of Cane Juice

: The experiments with Japanes
r cane were begun in the spring o
1909. We now have the result
+ from six crops from which t
idraw conclusions. Eight plots o
0 Japanese cane were used in thu
I work. Each plot was given a def
!. mite amount of fertilizer, no two
e plots being fortified alike. The
same amount of fertilizer was ap
piled to each plot each year fol-
six years.
Each year during the six years
of this experiment sample OF
twenty stalks was cut from each
plot. The canes from each of the
eight plots were stripped, and run
through a, small hand power mill.
The juice was collected separate
ly from each sample. Each sam
pie of juice was then tested for
percentage of cane sugar (suc-
rose). 1t was also tested for den
sity.
The percentage of sucrose in
the juice varied somewhat from
year to year. When we take the
averages for six years and COM
pare results, we find that there is
but little difference in the per-
centage of sucrose in the juice
from the eight plots.
Plot |, which was fortified
with 112 pounds of dried blood
and "a pounds of muriate of pot
ash per acre per year had 1856
per cent of sucrose in the juice.
Plot II, which was fortified
with "a pounds of muriate of pot
ash and 224 pounds of acid phos-
phate per acre per year, had 1861
per cent of sucrose.
Plot III, which was fortified
with 112 pounds of dried blood
and 224 pounds of acid phosphate
per acre per year, had 9.83 per
cent of sucrose.
Plot ", which was fortified
with ~ pounds of sulphate of am
monia, "a pounds of muriate of
potash, and 224 pounds of acid
phosphate pei. acre per year, had
1921 per cent of sucrose.
Plot V, which was fertilized
with 112 pounds of dried blood,
81 pounds of muriate of potash,
and 224 pounds of acid phosphate
per acre per year, had 1884 per
cent OF Sucf0Se.
Plot VI, which was fortified
with 70 pounds of sulphate of am
monia, 81 pounds of sulphate of
potash, and 224 pounds of acid
phosphate per acre per year, had |
1886 per cent of sucrose.
Plot VII, which was fortified |
with 112 pounds of dried blood,
"a pounds of sulphate of potash,
and 224 pounds acid phosphate
per acre per year, had 1864 per
cent of sucroSe.
Plot VIII, which was fortified
with the same as Plot VII, except
that an application of 1000 pounds
of ground limestone was made in
1909, 1911, and 1913, had 1899
per cent of sucrose.
When we compare these six
year averages, there is a differ
ence of only about one percent be-
tween the highest and the lowest.
Plot III gave the lowest per cent
of sucrose on an average of six
years, namely 9.S3. This plot re-
ceived no potash during the six
years of the test. This indicates
that potash had a slight influence
in increasing the sucrOse content
of the juice. However, the infu-
ence OF the potash was smaller
than it is usually believed to be.
These results differ from the gen.
eral opinion of many cane grow

East Africa. the last remaining col
ony of Germany in Africa, has been
placed in the hasds of General Luos
Botha, South African premier.
Ostensibly the South >fricans are
given control of the campaign be-
cause the Germans are arming TIE
blacks and preaching holy war
against the English. Really, how
ever, they are in command because
the blacks defeated small British bat
talons who in haphazard fashion tried
to conquer $4,000 square miles in
the colony.
Although there are scarcely 5000
German co1onists in this colony, they
have organized resl>c ctablie fighting

yesterday afternoon in the case Of

ty and motion for a new trial bein Z
denied an appeal was taken to the
Supreme court The opinion was
rendered by Justice McCarran, JUS
tice Coleman concurring. The opin-
ion states: The matter with which
we are confronted in the case at bar
is one of jurisdiction. As has been
stated by this court in numerous de-
cisions, the right of appeal is one reg
ulated by statute; and where there IS
failure on the part of the appellant
to at least substantially comply with
the provisions Of the statutes, the
court can do naught else than dis
miss the matter The judgment If
the lower court and the order deny
ing appellants motion for new trMl
are affirmed II is so ordered" Chief
Justice Norcross dissented from the
opinion This virtually ends the mat
ter, and by this decision Ward will
receive the amount awarded to him
in the lower court. Attorneys Dixon
