ERADICATlNG TICK IN SOUTH
Essential to Successful Development
of Sound Agricultural System
Expense Is Small.

Eradication of the tick is essential
to the development of a sound agri-
cultural system in the South. Land
there is still cheap and much OF it is
making no money for anyone. The
pasture season is long, feed can be pro-
duced at a minimum cost. and only in
expensive shelter is required
The tick by compelling guarantees
adds to the cost of getting cattle to
outside markets. TiCky beeves cannot
be transshipped and must go to i'm
mediate slaughter. Free cattle can be
transshipped to markets where prices
are higher or can be sold as feeders.
The difference in price between ticky
and free cattle runs from One-half to
one cent a pound or five to ten dol
lars a head.
The tick kills imported or pure-bred
stock and thus makes it hard for the
tiCkinfested regions of the South TO
raise any but scrub cattle.
A yearling calf from a pure-bred
bull and a native COW will weigh from
$50 to 600 pounds. Such a calf is esti-
mated to be worth SO to s23 more
than a calf from scrub stock.
A few swims through the arsenical
dipping vat and the ticks are killed
and your animal Is worth five to ten
dollars more, provided your neighbors
join in and the country will dip its cat.
tie and free itself from costly quaran.
tine restrictions. Five cents worth of
arsenic per head is all it costs after
the vat is built. A vat costs only $50
to 800 and will dip all the cattle as
often as needed. The only other costs
are driving the cattle TO the vat and
, handling them in the bath

Corn Rotation.

Corn should not be grown in the
same field continuously. Many weeds
are especially difficult to control in
corn fields. If other crops. such as al.
falfa. clover and small grains. are oc.
casionally grown. the weeds are more
easily controlled. and many OF the in.
sects which feed on the corn. but not
on these crops, die OF starvation.

FACING TRYING ORDEALS UN- LESS THEIR OBLIGATIONS
 ARE LlQUlpATED.
100 PER CENT TAXATION
With This Threat Federal Court Has Forced Payment on County War rants Fouc Times During the
 Last Six Years.
Little Rock


 Counties and municipalities in Ar kansas that cannot pay their obliga- tions are facing trying ordeals and fear of federal court interference since the recent action of the United States court in ordering Perry County to make it's tax next year 100 per cent of the value of it's real and personal property, and other counties are like wise threatened, notably Cleveland and Van Buren.
 Four times since September 14 1910, have counties in Arkansas been forced to pay their debts with the threat of a % per cent taxation If warrants were not met. The first case of the kind filed in the eastern division of the United States District Court was at Little Rock by Arle k. Palmer against Garland County. The amount involved ln the suit was $l23,- GOO. Mrs. Palmer had purchased the county scrip i'll Garland County so that the courthouse could be erected. The county then failed to buy the war rants and always had the excuse that 1t did not have the money. Mrs. Palmer started the suit. which finally ended in the ordering of 100 per cent assessments, The result was an agreement and loan. and Mrs. Palm CT was paid and the suit dismissed
 Garland County never paId loo per cent taxes, but paid it's debt instead.
 The next case filed was the Fall City Construction Company against Monroe County. at Helena. This was another courthouse suit, involving q debt of about Sl00.000 which was owed for work on the courthouse and the construction company held the county scrip. This case went through the court, and the decision of Judge Trieber that the county should be fore ed to access it's property at 100 per cent was affirmed by the circuit court of appeals. After the affirming of the lower court Monroe County made an agreement with the construction com pany, paid off the debt and the suit was dismissed
 Mississippi and Cross counties were sued by the Vincennes Bridge Com pany and the warrants held by this company were for the erection of bridges in the two counties. After these counties were ordered to as sess property at 100 per cent they found way around. borrowed money and paid the debt. and the ease was dismissed

Reports reaching Little Rock from d number of cities of the state indicate that the statewide prohibition law passed by the Legislature has practi- cally destroyed criminal business Tn circuit courts. Sessions of grand jul ries held in several of the larger coun- ties. where saloons t1ourished up to last January, were the dullest in the years, according to final reports sub mitted the last few days to circuit judges In several cities the juries re- ported that they did not have enough business to keep them in session for mure than two or three days at a time, and In consequence jalls were virtually empty
 This condition prevailed in Little Rock to such an extent that the Put laski County grand jury, in it's final report, stated that the session which began last March and ended last week was the dullest ever held. and as result business did not keep the ln- quisitors together more than two or tnFee days dI tune, dnu l4le AuilptI of indictments returned were about 65 per cent less than any previous grand jury
 Many of the members Of the Pulas. Xii County grand jury, who always voted for license and signed petitions for saloons. refused to sign petitions circulated recently for the repeal of the statewide prohibition law baslng their refusal upon the ground that the closing of the saloons lessoned crime to very large degree and saw cd the taxpayers of the county large sums of money in the way of paying witness and prosecuting attorneys fees in the criminal division of the circuit court
