NEW SCHEME FOR SHIPPING
LIQUOR INTO THIS STATE

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept 4.-They've got
UP new scheme in Jacksonville, &C
cording to reliable information secur-
ed in Atlanta, for shipping liquor into
the state Of Georgia.
Instead of sending individual ship
ments in separate packages such as a
quart, or two quarts, they lump q
bunch Of shipments into one shipment
ard pack them all in a box resembling
the box in which corpse and coffin
are shipped by express.
One of these long boxes will hold
from twenty to fifty shipments of two
quarts each, and the method of pack
ing and handling possesses marked ad
vantages over the separate shipment
plan.
For one thing, long box with liz
screwed down, resembling the familiar
looking box in which a corpse is ship
ped is not a thing that people stanC
and feast their eyes upon.
For another thing it is much eac

FIVE YEAR LIMIT
GIVEN FOR FIGHT.
ON FEVER TICKS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. A.
Because of the spirit of cooperation
among the people of the South in the
work of Graduating the tick which
transmits Texas fever to cattle, this
destructive and expensive pest should
be eliminated from the territory of the
United States within the next five
ears, according to the Field Inspection
Division of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry of the U. S. Department of Afri,
culture. Enthusiasm in the fight
against the pest is running particular
ly high in several of the II tick-infest-
ed Southern States and these common
wealths will free their territory within
tie next year or so, the division pre-
diets. If 8 of the States, it is believ
ed, the work will be completed within
years.
An outline of conditions in the tick
infester territory recently prepared.
shows that Virginia, only counties
in which are now under quarantine,
can be made tick free by one years &C
tive work, and, that because of the in
terest now being shown there, the
quarantine is likely to be removed from
the last bit OF previously tick-infested
territory in the state early in 1918.
South Carolina, which is pushing the
eradication work steadily forward,
should achieve freedom from ticks the
same year. By the end of 1917, it is
calculated, there should be but 10
counties in Alabama remaining in
quarantine, and these, at the rate the
Slate has been working, should be
cleaned up the following year.
For Mississippi probably the most
accurate prediction can be made. The
Legislature of that state recently en-
acted law requiring that all coun
! ties now in the quarantined area shall
Eradicate the tick during 1917. The
people showed their interest in this
step Immediately, and nearly all the
infested counties already have appro
priated funds for the building of dip
ping watts in preparation for the state
wide eradication campaign. Statewide
tick eradication legislation also has
been enacted in Louisiana. AS re-
suit, this state can expect to be free
of fever ticks by the end Of 1919.
Oklahoma, it is believed, will clear
its territory of fever ticks within the
next three years. In Arkansas, dipping
watts are in course of construction in
practically every county of the state
ard soon will be in general use. 1t Is
believed that tick eradication will be
completed in this state by the end OF

Hard Task For Georgia.

Georgia, Florida and Texas have the
hardest task before them in the work
OF tick eradication, and probably win
require most of the five-year period to
bring about the removal of quarantine
from their territory. Texas has more
counties 4uarantined because of the
presence of the fever tick than any
other state, and has almost as many
square miles in the quarantined area
as all the other states combined. 1t IS
probable, therefore, that the work of
eradication there will take more time,
and unless there is unforeseen activity,
Texas will be the last of the States to
claim white area on the map. The
finishing of the work of eradication in
the other States, however, will re-
lease Federal agents engaged in the
work, and will make possible the con-
centration of effort on Texas toward
the end of the five-year period. 1t is
believed, therefore, that by the close
OF 1921 this concerted work, if prop
erly supported by local cooperation,

Chicago, July 24.-Hot weather to-
day curtailed the supply of all live
stock. However, demand was also re-
stricted and quotations showed no

an advance Of a shade.
Eleven markets received $4,000 hogs

Cattle.
Cattle were quoted steady.
The recent break is believed to have
put good cattle down about as low as
they ought to go, measured by scarcity
of that kind. With 'StillerS out of the

ton and ought to do better. The big

Sheep.
Sheep and lambs were not too
abundant.
Western spring lambs are running
three to four pounds lighter than
year ago, but net returns are large ow-
ing to a higher scale of prices. Little
fault is found with the market, but the
added price is convenient. Had south
ern lambs been running freely, as was
the case a year ago, western owners
would have been minus that advantage.
Present indications are that the
shortage in the western crop, together
with deficiency in natives will force
packers to cut close. Sorting has been
lax and killers have taken culls greed

on this stuff, city butchers claim it and
when they get into the competition

During the coming range season feed

IOWA CORN CROP

Des Molnes, July 25.-Unless heavy
general rain visits Iowa within the next
few days, the Iowa corn crop. this
states staple crop, will be jeopardized
according to a statement today by Of
ficials of the weather and crop service.
1t is said the hot, weather OF the past
month has advanced the corn to Il state
where il is tasselirg and caring and
that unless rain comes, and within a
few days. the crop may suffer with
losses to Iowa farmers totaling millions
Of dollars.
George NJ. Chapel. director Of the
crop service, said today:
Reports show that corn is at pres
ent in a very strong condition. How
ever we have, had no rain to speak OF
and If this condition continues it will
result in widespread and very costly
damage. On the. other hand II gen.
eral rain should come. one of the lars-
est yields in the history of the state
seems assured. -:

to remain together during the time
