BIRMINGHAM WILL
 NOT SUFFER AT THE
 HANDS 0F STREET
Star Writer for Golfers Was Delighted With His Trips Over
 the City

Birmingham need have no fear that it will suffer from the articles regarding this city and district which Julian Street, one of the ablest writers for Collier s Weekly will publish and Wallace Nor gan will illustrate, concerning their visit here'' said w. c. Radcliffe, general man. ager of the Chamber of Commerce. "At times in the past this city has suffered, as has the whole state of Alabama. and other sections of the south, from articles published in northern newspapers and magazines about alleged conditions. But MT. Street known as one of the ablest writers on the staff of Golfers, was high ly delighted, and very much surprised at the things he saw and learned here,
 The Chamber of Commerce had been in communication with Golfers and Mir. Street concerning his proposed visit here for sometime, and during his stay in the city, every courtesy was shown the visitor. The chamber assisted in his work by providing him with all the de- tailed information he needed concerning also furnished number of photographs.
 ''The Chamber of Commerce officials who met and talked with MT. Street after he had been over the city and district, felt highly complimented at the manner in which he discussed the situation" said MT. Radcliffe. NO feature of the city appealed more strongly to MT. Street than the residence section. He expressed the highest praise for the magnificent residences, the beautiful driveways and the splendid scenic effects secured in va rious parts of the city. He stated that it was a revelation to him. and that it compared with the most attractive cities in the country.
 ''Another part of his trip that pleased Mir. Street very much. and incidentally opened his eyes to industrial conditioi.s in the south was his visit to Ensley' Fairfield and other places. While he had heard a good deal of the iron and steel interests of this district, the conditions existing around the various plants, the care taken in the matters of health and sanitation, and the general air of civic pride shown on every hand proved to him that some of the articles which had been circulated about Birmingham and this district were untrue.
 MT. Street expressed great pleasure at his reception here, and spoke in terms been shown. He was especially pleased with the fine buildings in the business section, the broad streets, the magnifi- cent residences, driveways and boulevards, Fairfield, and the great industrial plants. He and Mir. Morgan were shown over the plants of the Tennessee company by prominent officials of that company, and were also extended every courtesy by a number of prominent citizens"

Every Milk Consumer Vii tally Interested In Ques- tion to Be Voted Upon May 9
COST OF
 TICKS TO COUNTY
 REACHES BIG SUM
For Local Cattle Are Now Limited AbsO- lutely to Tick Infected Territory

Jefferson county voters on May 3 will decide whether the cattle tick shall be eradicated from this county.
 It is a question of the most vital in- terest not only to every cattle raiser and dairyman. but to every milk con- sumner in the county.
 United States District Attorney Rob- ert N. Bell is one of the pioneers in trying to develop cattle raising on a profitable scale in Jefferson county.
 MT. Bell has written the most
 Illuminating article thus far pre-
 pared on the importance of free
 ing the quarantine which now is
 in effect against Jefferson county
 cattle.
 His statement, which should be read and pondered over by every voter, is as follows:
 Yes, I am often asked for an interview on various subjects and I usually decline because of want of information or time. But now think I knew enough about the sub- ject to talk. l would be guilty of neg ligence or possibly a crime if I did not talk.
 KNOWS FROM EXPERIENCE
 Tn the first place, I want to say to those who think ticks don't do harm to cattle or that ticks will not kill them, that I know that is a mistake. I have been buying fine cattle from the north for several years and have had several of these imported cattle to die from just one or two ticks. It has cost me more than 5000 to learn what I am telling you for nothing. Do tie out on the commons or let them run on the range with ticky cattle and be killed? Do you think any man will import good cattle into the county and help you build up your stock, if he is going to lose his cattle in doing it? Get rid of the ticks and you can mix your cattle with these good ones not otherwise.
 Another thing, you know. that is if nobody would know it. If you knew it, you could not sell her for any price. Why, because you can't ship her to any place, except a tick county, and tick people don't pay fancy prices You can't show her at any show ex- cept in tick county. Cows in the tick free districts are this spring averag- ing from $150 to $51I at auction sales but your Jefferson county COW could not go into the sale ring because she is in a tick infested district. LIMITED TO TICK ERADICATION
 You can't bring good ones here be- ship them out because they carry ticks that would kill others. You are con lining your market to Jefferson and other tick districts. where the prices stroy the tick. the high priced mar ket of the world is open--it is a shame to the south that because of these pests, Congress compels the. railroads to place a great placard on every car filled with cattle from tick districts: that is a disgrace to us. It reads Southern Cattle" It means danger, ticks
 To the cattle grower the tick is dan gerous, disastrous and pens him in on all sides; the eradication of the tick sets him free and gives him chance to build up fine herd and sell at high prices in worldwide market The dairy man needs good stock and must have them to make profit he

AFTER
 RURAL CREDITS BILL

Washington, May 3.-Republican senators continued their fight today against exemption from taxation of land, banks and foreign loans author ized by the Hollis rural credits bill, and advocated the adoption of an amendment by Senator Cumnins striking out the section providing ex- emption.
 Senators Cummins and Sutherland attacked the constitutionalism of the exemption feature, Senator Hollis de- clared the purpose of not taxing the banks or their mortgages was to give the farmer the benefit of the lower rate of interest and to give a uniform interest in the different states.
 The house banking committee re- ported it's rural credits bill favorably today. The house bill also would es- tablish chain of land mortgage banks, but is different from the sen ate bill in some details.

POST OFFICE HELPS FARMERS.

When we try to estimate the great progress that has been made in farm ing in the Southwest during recent years and note the evolution in higher ideals among rural people we find many factors that have contributed. It would not be an easy matter to find the greatest factor because many have been potent.
 But it is safe to say that the post office department of the United States government has been a great factor. It has given farmers greater oppor- tunltles for improvement in farm practice, in intelligence and in citizen ship. The rural route has made it possible for the farmer and his family to get the farm paper, the daily and the weekly newspaper, government bulletins and other information with out which it would not have been pos slole for so great progress among farmers.
 but think of the saving in time and money parcel post has madel The rural carrier stops in front of the farmers door leaving packages from town and gathers butter, eggs, fruits, vegetables, etc, products to be deliv- cred to the town consumer. This bene- HIS the town merchant, too, for he can send the articles by post and need not mss sales even though the weather Is bad or farmers are too busy to come to town.
 In view of the fact that the post once IS such a great factor for better VlViiHatlon and parcel post so valu- "oie to build small towns and runal Vol'munltles, can We afford to hinder the service by, restricting it as the IideF to the post office bill would r"fceI post has been a means of help ing pay the government for its ser wee The law should be left in the H"fds of Postmaster General Burle- So' and his successors for further im- pavement without restrictions.

POTASH IN LAKE MUDS OF
 WESTERN UTAH.

Potash in surprisingly large pro- portions is present in the primes and muds of the Salduro Marsh, sink in the Salt Lake Desert, about 60 miles west of the southwest edge of Great Salt Lake. From the clays underiy ing the salt body which covers the marsh the U. s. Geological Survey collected samples at depths of s to 12 feet, in which the dissolved salts were found to contain from to about 3 1-2 per cent of potash, and IA per cent was found in the soluble salts at a depth of about feet, Of the dissolved salts contained in the primes occupy ing the spaces between the salt crys- tals in the crust overlying these muds 2 to per cent was found to be pot ash.
 Singularly enough the salt crust left at the surface of the desert through the evaporation of the primes contains little more than . trace of potash being confined to the primes and to the muds underlying the salt crust. The successful extraction of this potash is a fascinating as we'll as most pressing problem for the chem ical engineer. According to analysis made by the Survey, the primes and muds from the Salduro Marsh con tain considerable magnesium chloride. as we'll as chlorides of potassium and sodium, and so are somewhat similar in composition to the deposits from which potash is manufactured in Ger many. Therefore, it appears that success in methods for manufacturing potash at the Salduro Marsh should prove comparatively easy. While nc extensive exploratory work has been done by the Survey to show the area of the deposit it is believed that the amount of potash present in the re- zion, if it can be extracted with com mercial success, is sufficient to provide valuable source of supply to the country.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN VALUABLE

During the January tournament of the Winter Golf League of Advertis- ing Interests a number of golfers were following a very slow foursome. One member of the foursome was con- tinually slicing his ball into the rough and each time he and his caddy would search for it for about five minutes. Then the player would rush on to join his three companions, leaving his dusky bag bearer to continue the search. After this had happened on several holes, much to the annoyance of the members following the four some, not to mention their caddies, one of the caddies edged over toward the caddy who was looking for the ball and said:
 What kind uv a ball is dat you .liikn' fo'? It is a gold ball? ?"

DIP THAT TICK.
By c. c. Randall.


 Arkansas at present has 20 counties free of ticks and two more practically free. Eight or more counties will be freed this season. It is interesting to report too, that at present there is no county in the state without dipping vat. There is a total of six hundred and five vats in the tick infested area of the State at present and others are ebing built every week. Drew county began the season with 15 but has twenty-five practically completed at present. Our neighbor counties are along going after the enemy with equal courage. Last week Fred Gib- son shipped cars of tick free cattle to St. Louis. These cattle went to the native division pens in East St. Louis, and one car of heifers topped the market at $950 per hundred weight. Cattle shipped from infested territory have to go to quarantine pens, and cannot be moved except fo1 immediate slaughter. There are only a few buyers in the quarantine divis- ion, and therefore not much compet- tion for tick infested cattle. Great number of cattle are bought from the pens and carried out and fed for few months and then re-shipped. Tick in- fested cattle are not bought for this purpose. Where tick infested cattle are to be used for this purpose, they must first be dipped, usually twice at a fee of 25 cents "a head for each time they are dipped. Hides from tick infested cattle sell at from a dol lar to dollar and fifty cents less than from a tick free animal The produ- cer is of course the loser in each case Therefore let's look at the proposi- tion as a business undertaking and DIP THAT TICK-He is a menace to our efforts to raise good cattle.
 There is no better cattle country than Arkansas and there is no better country than your own. The cham pion Hereford Bull of the world was born in Arkansas and holds this rec ord today on the tick-free lands of Mississippi. w. J. Davis X Company of Jackson, Miss, had no trouble the other day in selling 45 head Herefords at an average of $511.11 a head. Our possibilities are unlimited. 20 years ago we were rich with timber but we were asleep. The man of the north saw and seized opportunity. Where is the timber? Today our hills, our valleys, our creek banks, our road sides, even our fence corners are GOV cred with rich coat of green grass that will make cattle grow and grow fat Mir. South man, are you still asleep? DIP THAT TICK.
