White Slave Prosecution,

The federal government has been
extremely active in enforcing the
Mann white slave law. according to
the attorney generals view for the
year. as submitted in his yearly re-
port. II asserts that white slavery
for profit is being checked. In the
last year there we're 482 cases and
302 convictions. 81 acquittals and
cases nolle pressed.
The law is designed to prevent the
transportation of women from one
state to another for the purposes
that the law outlaws. The person
paying the transportation of such a
woman is held culpable. Primarily
the law was intended to check com
mercialized vice, or the exchange in
women as a business. II has been

whether they were in the traffic scr

business as are enjoyed by those who
live in town.
But the business farmer cannot con-
tinue living in the average country

He must move to town to send the

he gets properly organized for bust

The additional milk which would be
obtained in the South If the cattle
ticks were eliminated would in the ag-
gregate be worth many millions of dol
lars. Owners of dairy cows in the re-
gion already cleared of ticks are well
satisfied and nearly every reply to the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture tells
of a very substantial increase in milk
yield. The per cent of increase, where
cattle have b.. en- dipped and the ticks
eliminated. in'many states is 20 to rs.
the average OF II states being %. In
experiments With a tick-free herd in
comparison with two herds. one heav-
fly infested with ticks. the other light

of the lightly-infested cows in the ex-
periments made by the department of
agriculture. the loss would be IL

cents a gallon, or cents a quart, this
would amount to TX cents a COW. or

the reduction in milk were as great
as in the heavily-infested cows in the
experiment, the loss would be 3.4
quarts worth II cents) a day for
each COW; this would amount to $40
a day for the entire herd. The money
thus lost in three days on the heavily
infested herd would pay for the cost
of dipping the cattle and killing the
ticks, as dipping costs at most only
so cents q head to eradicate ticks.
The experience of a dairyman in
the heart of the tick-infested territory
also strikingly illustrates how much
1t costs dairymen to have ticks on
their cattle. Late in the season, when
his cows were covered with ticks, the
cattle were dipped and the ticks killed

milk was bringing IS cents a gallon,
the extra 10 gallons were worth $3.50;
hence, by getting rid of the ticks the
same cows on the same feed produced
milk enough to net the dairyman $3.50
a day more than before they were
dipped. The small amount Of money
which this dairyman spent in dipping
his cows was a good investment.
Another individual experience which
shows that dipping cattle keeps on

One Of the important assets of the

by the cows. On many northern farms
truck farmers and growers of field
crops figure the manure they get from
cattle as paying them well for cattle

small profit or none from the milk or
