When the Tick Goes Out the
Dollar Comes In.

Asking farmers whether they de.
sire to feed cattle or ticks, the U. S.
department Of agriculture is about
to embark on a spectacular cam
paign throughout the tick-infested
region of the South to arouse farm
ers to take the steps that will stop
the annual tribute of $50,0O0,000
now being paid to the tick. At
tractively colored and illustrated
literature will be used in this work.
As the result of the anti-tick cam
paicn, one-third of the tick-infested
area of the South, a region as large
as the German Empire, has been
cleared since 1906, but it is now de-
sired to push the work much more
rapidly than in the past, as the
country needs the meat the South
could proftably supply if the tick
were banished, and the South needs
the dollars that will roll in when the
tick goes out.
The department stands ready to
cooperate with any county that
wishes to engage in this work.
Agents of the Southern Railway s
agricultural department will also
aid farmers in waring on the tick
wherever possible, and will COOP
crate with all agencies engaging in
this work.

Aged Lady Visited in Callison
Section.
Editor The Advertiser:

Mrs. Susan E. Garner, of Mt.
Zion, has been spending some time
time with Mrs. J. P. Sullivan, near
the Edgefeld- Greenwood county line,
where she met many friends and rel
atives. She attended the ladies'
league meeting at Bethel and SER
vice at Mt. Zion. She visited Mrs.
Clara Callison, Mrs. Annie Deal,
Mrs. George E. Dorm, Mrs. Eleanor
Dorm, Mrs. Mary E. Mayson, Mrs.
Wallace Mayson. Mrs. Julia May
son, Mrs. Charlie Pennel, Mrs. En-
ma Callison, Mrs. Erin Rountree,
Mrs. Mary Corley, one of her school
mates, and Mrs. Emma E. Cart
ledge. Mrs. Garner was a daugh-
ter of Mr.. S. w. Mays and wife of
Mr.. s. F. Garner. She is seventy.
FIVE years of age, and is remarkable
for one of thas age. After travel
ing many miles in Edgefeld and
Greenwood counties, and after many
good byes and best wishes, she re
turned to her home delighted over
the visit. 1t was remarkable to
hear her play the piano and sing at
that age. She was carried home by
Mr.. ]. P. Sullivan and his little
daughter, Dalene.

and can be carried out.

and can be carried out.
I also find some over conservative
who oppose a bond issue for the
reason they don't believe in coun-
ties going in debt. Hasn't Edge
field county nearly always been
debt-ridden, does she borrow money
most every year from the banks or
other sources? If we have to COLI
ii. ue to borrow, and there is no
doubt but that we will, don't you
think it more reasonable to suppose
that we can float long term bonds
at a cheaper rate of interest than
we are now paying and get good
roads in addition? Iss uing bonds
is nothing more than borrowing
money on long terms at a low rate
of interest. Ii it is a bad policy
for Edgefeld to borrow money, il
is also a bad policy and business for
banks and individuals of the coun-
ty to loan or borrow.
Since progress should eminate
from the hub of the county, the
county seat, I would like to see the
large tax payers in the town of
Edgefeld fall in line with the far
mers clubs, Chamber of Commerce
and other organization Of the coun.
tv. ora Good Roads Meeting re-
commend to our legislative delega-
ton to have the next Legislature al
low Edgefeld county to issue bonds
for roads with the approval of the
voters. a separate campaign and
election could be had, either for or
against this would eliminate the
office seeker and the voting would
be strictly on the merits Of the
case.

The Worlds Awheel. Plea for
Better Roads.
Editor The Advertiser:

Editor lhe AdVertlSer:
One of the most noticeable sights
in Augusta in the winter tourist sea-
son, fast approaching, is the number
of splendid big automobiles bearing
the tags of States to the north and
west of US. You see them from
New York, Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Connecticut, etc. They repre-"
sent large sums of money. They
belong to people having large sums
of money-people seeking rest, d.
version, comfort, beauty, new or
second homes, perhaps. These an-
tos come to Augusta on their own
wheels, by their own power, over
the best roads they can 6nl. We
are on the direct line of travel to
North and West. Why should they
not come over our roads? Instead
they must come by Atlanta or Co.
lumbia.
We have in Edgefeld county,
certainly on the west side, better
natural roads than those from At
lanta or Columbia into Augusta.
Nature has laid down for US the
materials of almost perfect roads.
We have a clay that drains we'll,
dries quickly, packs we'll, and our
roads have easy grades. A King
road drag, as 1 have proved, easily
keeps it in repair.
With the main line of travel as
near az Anderson it should not be
hard for us to drain off some of it
this way, and start the stream flow
ing past us.
A word as to its volume. The
Pacific magazine for September esti-
mates that during the month of July
six thousand cars carried thirty
thousand persons to the San Fran
cisco fair. All the worlds awheel.
We are on one of the natural
highways to the great winter re.
sorts of the South, Augusta, Charles
ton. Savannah, South Georgia and
Florida. Shall we benefit by the
fact? 5''s''''''7''s

For this purpose a single applica-

NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
SEED POTATO SITUATION.

A recent letter from DIR. w. A.
Orion of the U. s.. Department of Ag-
riculture to DIR. Mel. T. Cook of the
New Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station declares: at appears that
the disease (powdery scab) is very
much more widespread than we had
thought and has spread very rapidly;
and that it occurs in many fields in
very small quantities so that it has
been overlooked by the inspectors"
According to the last ruling of the
Federal Horticultural Board, "The on
ly federal certification of potatoes as
a condition of interstate movement
from the infected districts hereafter
will be as table stock" This does not
mean that the government inspection
is discontinued. The letter referred
to above says: "All potatoes leaving
Maine under this table certificate will
have been given an inspection even
more rigid than heretofore. Every
effort will be made to eliminate all
infected potatoes although we, (the
Federal Horticultural Board) cannot
guarantee the absence of risk"
So far as we know the disease has
not become established in New Jersey
or states farther south. We are in
formed that there is still on hand in
the State of Maine, a considerable
quantity of certified seed. The New
Jersey Experiment Station will be
very glad to give further information
concerning such seed to those who
make inquiry.
