The Ticks Tax on Diaries.

L1dt II cow uOOS HOC UlC lIOIll Texas fever, the cattle tick is doing it no harm. Native cattle it is asserted, are immune to the tick. There could be no greater mistake. Cattle may become immune to the fever but none of them ever becomes immune to the loss of the blood that the tick sucks out. With steers this loss means reduced weight and lower prices: with dairy cows it means smaller milk production and cor respondingly smaller profits.
 Government tests conducted simultaneously, under identical conditions, with ticky and tick free herds show that ticks reduce the milk flow from IS to 42 per cent, the exact amount depend ing, of course, upon the severity of the infestation. Translate this statement into dollars and cents and the true meaning of the tick to the dairy industry hooopooc 5ohx,;o,,c
 Let us assume that man owns a herd of twenty cows each of which, under normal conditions, yields eight quarts a day and that he can sell the milk for five cents a quart. His gross revenue then is $8 a day from his herd. If a few ticks are allowed to feed upon his COWS and their produc- tion is cut down IS per cent, his gross revenue is only $6. 5 a day. If each COW is milked on an aver age 200 days in the year, his an- nual gross revenue is lowered from $1. 600 to $1, ,310. This is the minimum loss from the tick. If the infestation is very heavy and the production lowered 42 per cent the revenue is cut from $1, 500 to $930-a loss of $67O a year.
 This loss is absolute; there is no reduction in the cost or labor of feeding to offset it. Neither is it possible to overcome it by in- creasing the amount of feed. Cows carrying ticks" says the government report of the tests,
 "did not increase their flow of milk when the feed was increas- ed as did the tick-free cows. ]" In other words, the feed went to the ticks and not to the cows. The practical experience of the people confirms the conclu- sions of the government investi- gators. In the tick-infested sec tions of the South dairying is not an important industry. The l. '
 farmer may cling, if he wishes, to the delusion that the tick is harmless on immune cattle hut

IN Appearance, Says a Bulletin
Issued by National Geo.
graphiC Society.

WASHINGTON, Cept. 29.-"The
mysterious British tank described as
a car Of death resembling a ponderous,
slow-moving steel caterpillar, is the
current 'enfant terrible in the large
family Of strange engines Of destruc-
ton sired by the God Of War" says a
bulletin issued today by the National
Geographic Society.
THE modern fighting man has been
so schooled to expect unique and pow
erful inventions designed to destroy
human life that the tanks have in
spired more curiosity than terror, but
far different has been the story Of the
vast breed of monsters that have en-
-gendered panic in the hearts of sol
diers in ages past.
Wooden Horse First.
Reviewing the history Of warfare
among civilized nations, one of the
earliest engines of destruction whose
fame has been perpetunted on the
pages OF Legendary epic, was the great
wooden horse which the crafty Ulysses
left on the plains of Ilium, and which
the Trojans believed to be an offer
ing sacred to the goddess Athena
Gounseled by the false Simon, the Tro-
Sans RACED their walls in order that
the gift Of the Greeks might be
brought to their city. After nightfall
the warriors hidden inside the wood
en- animal crept out, threw open the
gates OF the city and admitted their
companions, thus bringing about the
destruction Of the city OF Priam and
wrecking vengeance upon the people
who had sheltered Paris and the fail
but false Helen of Troy.
l IAN engine of war which energies
from the cloud Of legend and takes its
place among historical actualities was
that employed by Alexander the Great
in his seveh-month's siege Of the ia
nous Phoenician metropolis, Tyre
This ancient city was strongly situat-
ed on an island and as there were nc
longe range catpults in the fourth
century before the Christian era, Al
exander conceived the plan OF build
ing mole or causeway from the main
land to the island. This engineer
ing enterprise was hampered by the
Tyrian who launched blazing ships
against the assailants as they sunk
piles TO hold in place the rock and
debris that formed roadway over
which the army was to march. In
order To protect his construction corps
Alexander devised as an engine of
war great towers covered with, green
hides, These were set up as shields

Gun-POWder Used.
Probably more far-reaching in its
effect than any other engine OF war
was the introduction OF gun powder
on the battlefield. 1t was one Of the
most potent factors contributing to the

U-BOAT BREMEN EXPECTED
TO ARRIVE ANY MOMENT
Failure Of German Craft to
Reach CapeS DiSappointS
FOreCaSterS
nv Associated Press.O

NORFOLK, Va, July 24.-Persons
who maintained a vigil for the Bremen,
sister ship fthe giant German sub
mersible Deutschland, for the past for
ty-eight hours, were keenly disappoint-
ed at the failure of the submersible to
put in an appearance at Cape Henry So
far as could be learned here today no
authoritative information as to her
whereabouts has been received.
Persons vino accurately forecasted
the coming of the Deutschland almost
to the hour of it's arrival and who de-
clared Saturday that the Bremen would
put in probably off Cape Henry not
later than today, made no attempt to
explain her failure to appear. They in
sisted that she probably had been
slightly delayed, possibly by the pres
ence of the allied warships just out
side the capes, and that she might be
expected to dash intp safety at any
time, but simultaneously admitted their
disappointment over the situation.
Others, including seafaring men,
many of whom even scout the assertion
that the Bremen is on its way to the
United States, say she is nowhere near
the capes, else she would have rushed
to safety some time during the last two
| days. During that period the sea has
been exceedingly rough, the skies have
been overcast almost continuously day
and night, and heavy rains have fallen,
making conditions ideal for a dash into
the capes.
The feeling that the Bremen is not
near the capes appeared to have spread
today to the allied warships. Only one
of them was in sight and she was cruis-
ing far off the coast.

GEORGIA GINNERS PLAN
COOPERATIVE INSURANCE
Association Considers Asking
Legislature to Pass NeCeS-
Say Measure

The Georgia Ginners' association
meeting in executive session at the Hotel
Ansley Monday discussed plans for the
formation of cooperative and recipro-
cal insurance company to protect mem
bers of the association, each member
guaranteeing to indemnify others against
loss.
Such companies are permitted by law
i'm every cotton growing state except
Georgia and Texas. The first step of
the association, it is believed, will be TO
adopt resolutions asking the Legislature
to pass such a law in Georgia.
The law would probably be modelled
after that in force in the state of Ten
nessee, by which the proposed company
must carry insurance amounting to a
million and a half dollars, must show
proof of $4,000 cash, and deposit a
bond of $4,000.
This is the second annual meeting
of the state association, which is 4
branch of the national ginners' associa-
ton The national convention Will be
held in Memphis August IL and II.
Among those present at the meeting
Monday was Weigh Cochran, of Menu
phis, an officer in the national asso-
citation, who invited all the Georgians to
attend the Memphis gathering.
In the course of his speech TO the
convention Mr.. Cochran made the state
ment that as the result Of the recent
heavy rains, the cotton crop in states
east of the Mississippi will be reduced
a million and a half bales this year,
