Eradication
OF Cattle
Tick

Jacksonville, Aug. THAT there
is every reason to believe that the
campaign on the cattle tick, which
SO greatly depreciates the value Of
the Florida beef product, will per-
haps git it's most valued reinforce
ments from the rural teachers and
pupils, is the belief of p. L. Suth-
erland, who is in charge of this work
under the auspices of the Southern
Settlement and Development Organ
ization. He was also warm in his
praise of the progressive spirit
shown by Prof. Fons A. Hathaway
and others recently in letting the
principles of the tick eradication
movement be placed before the
teachers who were assembled here
for the teachers summer school. AS
surances have been received from the
teachers that they will aid in every
way possible in the tick warfare.
Any feeble prejudice which may
have existed in the past against the
dipping of cattle in the prescribed
watts. so as to make them shed the
ticks which infest their skin, has
given away to the more humane side
of the question, it is believed. There
is more or less torture to every an
imal SO affected, besides the loss II
meat value, milk production and thu
worth of hides To rid all cows il
the State Of the tick, will make thei
Lives more comfortable to them
selves and more profitable to tn
owners.
Mr.. Sutherland states that wher
the up-to-date dipping methods hav
been employed there is great enthu
siasm in the campaign. He says tn
time is not far distant when tn
whole State will be covered by dip
ping watts and shortly after this tn
federal restrictions on the shipmen
of cattle will be removed.

LEARNING TO SWIM

Teaching a person to swim in some
thing about which the average per-
son has little idea. Most persons who
can swim think that the only way to
teach a person to swim is to push
him off the pier. Yet that method Is
not good one for If the person does
not know how to swim that person is
going to drown when showed offed the
pier into deep water. Many a man
will say that he learned to swim by
being thrown into deep water. The
probability is that the person so treat
ed knew how to swim but was not
aware of it; had padded in shallow
water until the art of swimming was
acquired but confidence failed to come
with it and the beginner did ont know
he could swim. Showed off the pier
and falling into deep water the be-
ginner would swim because he had to
and because he knew how.
Down at the bathing beach any af.
ternoon one can see men trying to
teach girls and women to swim and
occasionally a man will be found Civ.
ing instruction to another man. The
methods used for a pretty girl and
for a man are very different One
can have a lot of patience with a
pretty girl and none at all with q
man and one seldom finds it neces
sary in giving instruction to a man
to hold the pupil in ones arms. The
methods used on a man are best and
are most effective. The beginner
must do most of it himself and car
learn quicker when left to his own re
sources after some preliminary in
structions are given. t. ]. Rowland
when giving swimming lessons, never
touched the pupil and merely stood
by to watch what was done and tel
the pupil what was done wrong. =

Capt Potter Finds Results Satisfae.
tory-saves Cost of Clearing

st. Petersburg. August Enough
potash can be recovered from the
ashes of palmetto roots to pay for
clearing the land, according to ex-
periments conducted by Capt. Cram
er B. Potter, who conceived the idea
of utilizing a waste product. He had
the ashes analysed and the results
show the ashes are valuable as feru-
Her. Regarding his experiments
Capt. Potter said today:
when the price of potash scared
SO high recently, owing of course to
the European blockade. there was
considerable discussion going around
through the state relative to potash
obtained from palmetto roots.
I'VE find that Canadian hard wood
ashes have 4.35 per cent potash and
IS per cent lime, costing on the mar
ket $1,000 per ton. Regular potash
for explosives and dyes is valued at
about $4,000, which is too high for
growers to use. So l made some
thorough experiments with palmetto
roots resultsing as follows: / caused
to be made a furnace with cement
floor and walls and sam mill CRATES
on top, which kept all the ashes
clean. My furnace was about four
feet wide, 10 feet long and Is inches
high. The sample of ashes sent to
the state chemist analized 4.04 pei
cent potash and Is per cent lime.
1.-THE grubbing of about acres cost
500, hauling and burning $50, making
total cost $3.50. These ashes were
placed in a small corrugated iron GOV
cred bin to be cooled, after which
hauled in grove and placed arounC
young orange trees, at rate of Il
quart bucketfull to each tree.
1.-THE entire lot of roots netted 81,
tons of ashes, which at $21 per tol
amounted to $12 or nearly equal t
the entire cost of clearing land an,
burning roots / did not think it ad
visable to sell my ashes to the fert
lizer factory, which made an offer G
$40 per ton, and later buy back at
higher price, so l applied to my ow
grove with excellent results.
takes about 20 tons of roots to max

SAVANNAH WOMAN TALKS
OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS

h Miss Ella O'Mara, of the Savannah
Associated Charities, has just re-
turned from New York, Newark and
Baltimore, where she spent her vaca-
ton. The Savannah News prints the
following interview with her In re-
regard to the plague of infantile pa
ralysis of which she made, as far as
possible, study where it ragged:
"The human body is attacked in a
very peculiar way" said Miss O'Mara,
"the first symptoms being a head
ache then sharp pain at the base
of the brain, then vomiting and then
paralysis of the limbs from the knees
downward. If the patient does not
die he is left a permanent cripple.
And all this happen in a very few
hours. The daily number of new

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN

The campaign recently closed in
South Dakota was the cleanest eve
held in the state. No personalities
were INDUCED in by newspapers or
candidates and everybody was con

was a great relief to all concerned
and a happy contrast to the Iowa
campaign, where a nasty and uncall-
ed for fight was made on Harding, the
republican candidate for governor,

COMMUNITY CLuRS

Every locality can improve and de-
velop itself by an active organization
of It's WI citizens. And it is what
man himself does that adds value to
an average agricultural locality. Be-
fore his settlement and development
the land Is of little value. Nobody
wants it, or would live upon it. His
development makes il desirable. He
does it for himself and family. be-
cause 1t is his own property. That
is good so far as it goes, but there is a
possibility of advancing his :
ity and its interests by working to-
gether with his ~neigghbors to accom-
plish some things that are impossible
to the individual.
Notwithstanding some admitted
common obstcales to be met with,
every community is the better for or
ganization, because a number bar
together can accomplish things. ,
is a community purpose, united a
which is certain to bring some COM
munity benefit. This is applicable to
the country as well as the town.
Every neighborhood would be the
better for a community spirit and pur-
pose. For instance, the people of four
townships could join together, put up
a community building in the center,
to be used for church, for literary and
social gatherings. 1t would be of
great interest to the entire neighbor-
hood. old and young, create a home
content, and by frequent association
with each other. develop the intellect
uality of all children.
1t would cost u common purse rails
ed In the locality, of course. but what
are we living for? The benefits would
far outreach the cos for many wears
and that community would be an at
tractive place for the children to get
hold of a piece of land and develop a
farm near home. 1t would be equally
attractive to any one looking for n
farm home.
And such an enterprise is within the
reach Of any community--if any one
of its enterpr;sing and determined
citizens will take hold of 1t and stay
with it until success is obtained.
