Clearing the Way
For the Cattle Industry.

Tho national Department of Agriculture makes
the interesting announcement that two couh'ieS III
North Carolina and two in South Carolina, repre-
apting an aggregate area of some thirty-tour nun
dred SQUARE miles are to be released on Marcn
from the cattle tick quarantine. The immunity
which these counties have gained is invaluable not
only for the privileges it implies but also tor 'e
constructive work and achievement it denotes
Hsnceforth live stock and dairying industries VIII
thrive in those Carolina counties, and the broad IN
erests of the farmers will prosper as never before
This is true of every community which does the
work needful for release from the cattle uch
quarantine. It is matter of record that the
South has made more progress in cattle raising
during the last five years than in the preceding
Aftv and officials of the national Department OF Az
riculture say Furthermore that in the last five years
there has been more progress in this industry IN
the South than in any other region This period OF
remarkable development comedies with that OF the
vigorous campaign for the eradication of the cattle
tick The infected and quarantned area has been
reduced from seven hundred and twenty-eight thou
sand eouare miles at the outset to something like
four hundred thousand square miles at the begin
ming of the current year.
Georgias stake in this matter is particularly i'm
portant because no part of America has richer
natural resources for cattle industries 1t is deeply
important. therefore. that every county and every
farmer in the State give unreserved support and
cooperation to the campaign for tick destruction.

RESTIGE is one of the least discussed but most
ID potent facts in human existence. There are
= no proverbs about it; the quotation DOCKS 90
not seem to have heard of It, Even Willstachs eA-
tensive Dictionary of Smiles" contains no reler-
ence to it.
Nevertheless it is something of incalculable
value to all who possess 1t.
With the aid of prestige an inferior man can
travel far in the way of attaining worldly success
Lacking prestige, superior man is lnouol'aOlS
bandicapped AS Lewis Leopold has truly ooserVeo:
1.-The want of prestige throws thousand obsta-
les in the way of initiation of the work OF pioneer
ing and experimenting
"a professor of moderate capacity, VINO mas no
roctira1 success to boast of as yet, has far less
difficulty in finding capitalist to finance MS lnVen

portance but also the nature of prestige Briey IL

curious weakness in human nature. Yet there is
this to be added that If prestige is helpful to ne
rior men it is equally helpful to superior ones.
Thus as suggested by Leopold's remarks, a GER
tain prestige attaches to the title of professor A
man who can call himself professor is pretty sure
TO get an attentive hearing, even when he voices
opinions regarding matters of which he knows worse
than nothing.
On the opposite if he has opinions worth ex-
pressing the prestige of his title increases the like
lihood that these opinions will gain Importance.
Here prestige is manifestly advantageous to society
as we'll as to its possessor.
Again the accident OF birth in "old family"
gives prestige to many an ignoramus But also 1t
helps a wise benefit his fellows through his
wisdom.
Recognizing this, should, however, set
selves firmly against succumbing to the influence of
prestige. For prestige always means "a decadence

Up to February, and AFTERWARDS.

The value of our export trade in January
amounted to $685. 900, an excess of approx
imately one hundred million dollars over the best
previous month in the nations history. The De-
partment of Commerce suggests in giving out the
record that these towering figures due partly to
high prices. 1t is evident. however that there has
been a great increase is the volume as well as
value of American exports. For the seven months
ended with January, they aggregated $S,614,244,-
600 as compared with salsa, S9S, 900 in the same
period of the preceding year and 81, 900 in
the year before that. A comparison of twelve
month periods shows proportionate advance Our
foreign trade has been growing steadily as we'll as
rapidly, and up until February 1 there was OBJ
stacle to its continued increase.
On that date Germany launched her unrestricted
U-boat warfare threatening destroy the ships of
neutrals and belligerents alike, without regard to
the lives of passengers and crews. While the
avowed purpose of this ruthless campaign
blockade of the British Isles its most pronounced
result far is blockade of the eastern ports of
the United States Our transatlantic shipping as
far it depends vessels flying the American flag
has virtually ceased. Merchantmen continue to
leave and enter the ports of the United Kingdom
by hundreds, but only two or three have sailed
from Atlantic ports within the last three weeks
If this condition of affairs is suffered to continue
much longer, the oversee commerce which has been
so important factor In American prosperity will
dwindle to pittance of its former bounty, in so
far trade with the Allies is concerned
Unfortunate as that would be, it would not COM

moral force which the United States would sustain
If it submitted to this mockery and invasion of its
rights. That means will be provided for re-
leasing the hundreds of American ships now tied up
in their home harbors if it is necessary for the
Government to arm every one of them and give

The Bird and the Boil WeepI

The Augusta Chronicle presents good and inter-
esting reasons for its approval of the appeal by
sea-isand cotton for special protection of
birds that are pronounced destroyers of the boil
weevil. For agricultural interests as the Chron-
icle cogeny argues, there few branches of con-
servation so important that pertaining to bird
life. Failure to appreciate the value of birds in
this respect and to safeguard them accordingly
is largely responsible for many of the in
sect invasions which cost the country mill
lions, even billions of dollars There are
thirty-eight kinds of birds that prey on the
boil weevil, among them being the kiIldeer Bob
White, bullbat, Phoebe, cowbird, red-winged
backbird, meadow lark. orchard oriole white
throated sparrow, cardinal, hooking bird brown
thrush Carolina wren and purple martin Espe-
cially destructive of the weevil, according to the
national Department of Agriculture, are the kill
deer, orchard orole and bullbat.
Not to vouchsafe full protection to friends like
these in the thick of hard battle with the boil
weevil, would be egregiously Stupid At their con-
ference in VaIdosta some weeks ago the sea-isIand
cotton growers went record as favoring and urg-
destroyed insect pillagers of cotton That is a
well-advised appeal which the next session of the
General Assembly should heed. Georgia's game
and fish protection laws while admirable in MANY
respects might well be ampliied and reinforced at
certain points. The attention to such matters will
go far toward safeguarding the State against flu
ture as well present insect invasions.

day will come to your aid.

CarelessneSs at Grade Crossings.

BY stationing reliable observers at grade cross
ings in number of towns and cities along it's lines
the Central of Georgia Railway has ascertained to
rather an accurate degree the proportion of drivers
of automobiles and other vehicles who exercise due
care in crossing railroad tracks. The record of
nights traffic at four crossings in Atlanta shows
that out of total of more than eight thousand
drivers not one stopped upon approaching the
tracks approximately five thousand failed to look
either way only two thousand looked one way, and
only eleven hundred and seventyone took the pre-
caution to slow down and look both ways.
With. conditions broadly similar to this pre-
vailing in most communities it is not surprising
that accidents at grade crossings are distressing
Iy numerous. There is just sure way for the
driver or an automobile any other vehicle to
be safe in crossing railroad tracks, and that is to
STOP look and listen If this simple rule were OBJ
served universally, there would be grade cross
ing accidents or at least they would be reduced to
a point almost negligible. The train operatives
are required by law and schooled and discp
lined by the companies to exercise the utmost Wig
ilanca and to give all possible warning in approach
ing crossing. Self interest and humane regard
for the lives of others should constrain every
tomobile driver to be less vigilant and cautious

CO-operatipe Farm Marketing.

lone year ago hog breeders association
was organized in Dale county, Alabama, with
eleven members. Today the association has
membership of more than two hundred, and on
two designated days of each month makes reg
ular shipments of hogs to market. It's last
shipment forwarded few days ago, consisted
of six hundred and ten hogs, which filled seven
cars and brought the Dale county raisers
eight thousand, two hundred and eghty-two
dollars. From Southeast Live Stock.
This is a valuable example of the benefits of
cooperative methods in marketing food animals
and food crops. Those Alabama farmers are able
to do collectively what few if any of them could
do individuality they sell to better advantage
and, what is more important, they the
community and the State better effect. 1t is fire.
quently the that farmer has surplus of
hogs or peas or other food commodities but not
enough to make up carload shipment BY joining
with his neighbors who are in the same position,
he gets the advantage Of shipping in large quaint
ties on regular schedules and to dependable buyers
Thus convenient and profitable relations are esab-
lished between those who produce food staples and
those who purchase them in large quantities This
makes for economy. 1t brings into the market big
supplies of food which otherwise would remain an
idle surplus. And what is especially important it
stimulates food production.

 Bond issues for permanent bettements are proper when the interest reasonable for it divides the burden number of years In this particular instance bonds will be of special assistance because will insure the cash necessary to complete the railroad regardless of other quirements by the government With all of the money available the commission work to better advantage than where it is necessary plan for particular On limiting the possible construction to given amount
