growing rapidly, and farmers in ev-
cry section are gradually awakening to
the possibilities of cattle and hog
raising both for home and foreign
markets.
While Georgia still imports from s.
100000 to 100000 pounds of meat per
month, the amount of imported meat
is steadily decreasing, and the time is
already in sight when Georgia will be
making every pound of meat she uses
within her own borders.
The soil and climate are ideal for
the production of feeds while there are
thousands and thousands of acres OF
open range suitable for cattle raising,
both in north Georgia and south Geor-
gia. In the southern part of the
state cattle can Craze on open range
practically twelve months out of the
year, while even in the northern Sec
ton of the state it is necessary to feed
cattle only about two months in the
year.
Approximate figures, carefully pre-
pared by State Veterinarian Peter F.
Bahnsen, of the department of agricul-
ture, show that the live stock industry
in Georgia for 1914 was worth about
$91 LAG, 900, and that it was increased
in value more than $4,000 900 during
the past five years.
This increase represents quality
even more than number of head, and
recent importations of high class reg
istered cattle including Shorthorns,
Herefords, Aberdeen Angus, Holsteips
and Red Polled, have already raised
the total value to more than $780,
100000.
Cutting Out the Cattle Tick.
| Eradication of the cattle tick III
many counties has materially encour-
aged cattle raising A few years ago
it was the one outstanding dtsadvant-
age to cattle raising. Today this sit
uation is under control, and cattle
owners generally have learned the
economic Importance of tick eradica-
ton.
The dairy industry deserves more
attention than it has received. Local
demands for milk and milk food prod
ucts are in excess of the supply. Only
proper methods and organization are
needed to give this industry unprece-
dented impetus
According to the 1910 census, the
number of COWS on farms reporting
dairy products that year was 1872, 468.
There were 74,9OS,776 gallons of milk
and 27,246,247 pounds of butter pro-
duced in 1910, and the total value Of
dairy products, excluding home use Of
milk and cream, was $6,621,5S5.
The past eight months has shown an
unprecedented development in interest
in pork production on a more extern
sive scale.

work is systematic and involves guam

this work the state department has
had the cooperation of the county au-

Stamping Out Disease.
Meat and dairy cattle in Georgia arr
particularly free from tubercular
germs. Rules have been established to
prevent the shipment of tdbercular
cattle into Georgia, and in 1914 the
percentage of reactors was reduced to
about per cent. Slaughter-house in
spection shows that less than one-half
of l per cent. of native Georgia cattle
are infected
The spread of hog cholera in Geor
gia has been extensive during the past
few years, but this is true also of ev.
cry other state in the union engaged in
pork production. Hog cholera serum
is furnished by the department of agr;.
culture at actual cost, and the de-
partment also tenders the services of
a veterinarian to give practical demon

grazing. Georgia is only now begin

HORRORS OF The
COMING SUMMER

While the wholesale slaughter now
going on in the eastern and western
var zones in Europe is appealing
and nearfamine conditions reported
here and there, it is absolutely certain
that another horror (plague) Is TO
add TO human woes almost as soon as
summer sets in. The following from
the Charleston, S. c., News and Cou-
ricr shows what may be naturally ex-
pected during the warm season; now
almost at our doors:
"The national Red Cross headquar-
tiers would not sound so terrible a
warning as that which it has just Is
sued if the peril which it points out
were not real. The Red Cross sees
the possibility of such a plague IN
Europe as the world has never wit
messed before. It's warnings is one
to make humanity shudder, to bring
pallor to the cheek, to create new
and keener realization of the horror
of this unspeakable nightmare OF
war.

Everything between Evansville and

visitors. Roads on all the routes
have been worked and cleaned up as
never before and every town and
hamlet is planning to entertain the

the entire round of the routes will
be one grand gala occasion. There
are about twenty coun les touched
