State Auditor Thompson has
maIled out the following letter
to tax assessors, which is of geDer-
al interest:
The Supreme Court on the 1t4h
inst. rendered a most important
decision with reference to the as.
sessment of timber.
1T was held that unless the land
roll shows the valuation Of timber
the revenue agent can have the land
owner assessed for the timber or
the land: but that if the land roll
shows the assessment of timber, the
land owner cannot be disturbed by
the revenue agent even if the tim
ber is grossly underyalued.
1T follows that is your duty
to the land owners to see that their
assessments show the valuation OF
timber IN order that they will mol
have trouble in the future. The
buildings and improvements or
lands. in cities, towns and villages
must also be shown.

DEPARTMENT SAYS STATE LEADS
IN ERADICATING LIVESTOCK PEST

jackson, Miss. According to the
Department of Agriculture at
Washington, Mississippi has done
more in the way of cattle tick erad-
ication than has any other sister
state since this work was first un-
deItaken in 1906. About one half
of Mississippi has been cleared of
these pests and drawbacks to the
livestock industry IN the meantime
and the good work goes merrily
on.
Last year twenty-five federal vet
erinary inspectors and nine agents
we're employed in this state, and
great progress was made. AS 1t
goes on its value and Importance is
more and more appreciated. the
farmers fall. in line. the state and
the counties take hold, and the
work is made the easier of accom-
pIishment because of the single
of purpose. When the tick eradica-
tion was first undertaken in Missis-
sippi there was strong opposition
in several quarters. and the dyna-
miters, encouraged by the lawless
element were busy. That is still
the case in a few benighted Sec
tions, but the Legislature. apprecia-

BENEFITS ARE GREAT.

The Department of Agriculture
states that it is practically impossi-
BILE to express in dollars and cents
the beDetits derived from the erad-
ication of the ticks, but mentions
that the hide alone ON tick-free
COW is worth on an average OF
81 .26 more than that from ticky
coW-that IL has cost on an average
so cents per COW to free the COWS. of
Mississippi from ticks, so that here
IS profit Of 76 cents on cowhide,
and that is one of the smallest fac
tors in enumerating the good re-
suits of tick eradication. The tick
infested COWS give much less milk
than do those that are free of the
pests-about one third; beef cattle
yield more meat on the same
amount of feed, and prices are con-
siderably higher in the markets of
the world.
The farmers of Mississippi have
opened their eyes to these facts at
last, and where counties have spent
their money and gotten rid of the
ticks, they are beginning to pros
per at industries other than cotton
production.

OF the house in committee OF the

Stebbins and Van Deusen objected
to running as late as s o'clock In the

boards ars already required to work
too long hours and that this bill would
delay the count and make the boards
more careless.
The opposite argument was made
by Norton of Polk that farmers can
vote more conveniently after the days
work is over and inasmuch as the
present law provides for closing the
primaries at 9 p. m, he thought that
general elections should run later than
6 o'clock. Mr.. Meredith said that in
