Holt, Feb. "a large and highly
interested group of farmers and cat

at their meeting here today in the in
terest Of an agricultural awakening
in West Florida.
The meeting was In charge of E.

fold advantages our farmers have if
they would but go in for a variety of
products and cooperate with natures
forces.
q. A. Miller proved that it would
be money-making proposition to
eradicate the tick and gave numerous
examples Of what individuals in West
Florida had done and how all would
profit if the entire section would but
take up the work Of eradication as a
whole.
His remarks struck a responsive
chord and G. I. Helms and Geo. Coop
er, prominent cattlemen of the dis
trict, stated they would build vats
very shortly. So much enthusiasm
was aroused that the meeting voted
unanimously for tick eradication.
Many residents of the Baker neigh

there Monday, drove over here today
to hear the speakers again.

AGRICULTURAL ADVISERS
GREETED BY MANY AT HAROLD

Harold, Feb. 9-The gospel of adj
vanced farming methods was preach
ed here today by Representatives Of
the agricultural staff Of the L. & N.
Railroad.
E. A. Miller clearly demonstrated
that the tick was preventing the
stock men from making the money
that the natural resources Of West
Florida entities him.
H. B. Holroyd emphasized diversi-
fed farming and by showing that
Florida only averaged six hogs to
the farm while Iowa averaged forty
to the farm emphasized the value Of
the hog and deplored their absence.
He insisted that If our farmers plant
ed rape, chufas, sweet potatoes and
ground peas and got pastures set in
Bermuda or Jaxon Clover that we
could reverse the figures and ship
hogs into the northern corn belt.
The talks were well received and
one farmer is planning to construct a
vat at once.
]. C. Cooper presided at the meet
ing which was held in the forenoon.
All the farmers were given litera-
ture showing how to construct dip
ping watts, with the proper proper
ton of arsenic, sal soda and pine tar.
Illustrations in these booklets show
the result of the tick fever on cattle.
Pictures of fine Florida Herefords
and Jerseys are shown by contrast to
carry home she idea that non-ticky
cattle can and are being raised and
that If the ticks are eradicated all
cattle will be good stock and profit
able.
