THECOSTLYCATTLET TICK
Takes Heavy Toll From the Calves Every Year.

One of the greatest financial and
economic wastes in Florida is the
large number of calves of various
ages which are sacrificed annually 70
the cattle ticks.
When tick infestation is especially
heavy the deaths from Texas fever
and exhaustion run as high as ten
per cent. That is a lot of good veal
to convert into fertilizer, when the
state is importing annually about TO-
600 dressed veal carcasses to help
feed the people.
A little tick is very insignificant
in appearance, but large number
of them on calf sap lot of its
vitality, stunting the growth If they
do not eventually kill the animal.
During the former days when ma
tured, tick infested, piney woods cat
tie sold for around SO head; it did
not make much difference if a con-
siderable number of calves and older
cattle died each year from Texas few
er, but since the cattle owners have
awakened to the advantages of breed
ing better quality stock, the grade
calves in thrifty condition at weaving
time are worth from $40 to SIS a
head, SO the present calf loss is cut
ting big hole in the possible income
from the cattle industry.
Building Watts to Save Calves.
Progressive owners are building
dipping watts to save their calves from
ticks, and at the same time are dip
ing all of their stock, obtaining larg-
er weight gains from the grass con-
sumed.
Intensive farming conditions in the
corn belt make it Improbable for
these farmers to raise large herds of
beef cattle to produce calves and feed
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-08-13

er stock to consume the grain and
forage grown on the farms.
The pasturage cost for carrying
breeding cows is too high on the ex-
pensive land. The cheap land ranges
can produce calves more cheaply, for
which the grain belt farmers are will
ing to pay high prices, as they pre-
fer to feed out the crops on their
farms during the winter months, so
that they can keep the fertility on the
land.
The finished cattle are marketed
early in the spring and the entire
farm acreage is again given over to
producing more crops.
Ticky Calves Not Wanted.
The grain belt farmers are turning
their eyes toward Florida for their
future feeding stock, as the western
ranges are being cut up into farms,
but the buyers do not want calves or
feeding steers which have been stunt
ed ingrowth from tick infestation as
they cannot make any profit feeding
expensive grain to that kind of stock.
They will pay good prices for good
grade feeding stock, raised on tick
less, cut over timber lands in this
state, where we can produce at least
a million calves year, after the ticks
have been entirely eradicated, so tick
free calves can devote all of their
blood to building muscle and bone.
Are you so strongly in favor of
the ticks that you are going to con-
tinue raising calves to feed them? Or
are you going to eradicate the ticks,
increase your profits and the food
supply of the country, and help to
make Florida one Of the greatest live
stock states in America?

HUGE GAINS OF THE
PRESBYTERIANS IN
THE UNITED STATES

The Presbyterian Church in the
United States has 1,550,0Oo commu-
nicants, according to figures just pub
ished by the Rev. DR.. William H.
Roberts of Philadelphia, stated clerk
of the general assembly. During the
year there was net increase in mem
bership of 46,769. Presbyterian Sun
day schools have an enrolment of
1,412,387. More than $1,000 new
members were added to the schools
during the year.
The total contributions of 1888
Presbyterian churches for the year
amounted to $28,122 ,426. Contribu-
tons for the previous year were ST.
785,036. More than $20,000,000 was
given for congregational expenses.
The offerings for home missions
passed the 100000 mark. Gifts for
foreign missions dropped from ST.
812,661 in 1915 to $1,738,525 in 1915.
Contributions for the Board of Min
isterial Relief and Sustentation in
creased from $4,000 to $311,443.
Fewer members were added to the
Presbyterian churches by exaniina-
ton and certificate last year than in
the year preceding. There were 104,-
526 &dded by examination, as COM
pared with 116,064 in 1915. The
number of those added by certificate
declined from 1852 to 60,189. In
