at New Orleans last week of a party
of chemical experts from western

indications point to extensive de-

near future.
The production Of potassium car

one of the oldest of the purely chemi-

| quest OF L est IN L our oiotCS.
The passage of recent tick legls-
lation in Texas an, Arkansas makes
Or, soon W. mE.e-tick eradica-
ton compulsory in four states: Ar
kansas, Texas, Louisiana, and Mis-
sissippi. In Mississippi the law is
now in force and is expected to re-
suit by the end Of 1917 in driving a
| wedge of tick-free territory through
30 the Gulf of Mexico. A similar law
will 90 into effect in Louisiana In
1918. In many sections of the state,
however, the people are anticipating
the law and systematic eradication
work is planned for this season in
about twenty parishes. Many of
these, it is expected, will be ready
for release from quarantine on or
before December /, 1917.
In Arkansas number of acts wer ,
passed by the legislature in February
and have been signed by the governor.
They now provide for five cent tax
on each head Of cattle in the entire
state, the money to be expended IN
tick eradication, and appropriate as
well $4,000 for eradication work in
the next two years. In addition, the
counties are authorized to use county
funds for this purpose if the members
of the county court consider it ad-
visable. Altogether, it is estimated
that during the next two years there
will be about $4,000 of state funds
available for tick eradication, ex-
elusive of what the counties may con-
tribute.
Practically all this money, it is
said, will be expended in the employ
ment of men and the purchase of the
necessary building material and
chemicals for the dipping baths. The
labor necessary in constructing watts
will be supplied by the people who are
to use them. This has been the prac-
tice in the past. and the increasing
interest in the work makes it certain
the people will be more willing than
ever to contribute in this way.
The Texas eradication law divides
the state into three zones and places
the administration Of the law under
the State Live Stock Sanitary Com
mission. Beginning with 1919, the
law becomes effective in each of these
zones in successive years, the delay
being intended to give cattlemen an
opportunity to adjust their business
to the changes which accompany erao-
ication.
The adoption in these states of TIE
principle of compulsory eradication is
indicative of great change in the
popular attitude toward the tick, ana
will, it is believed, do much to hasten
the conquest of the pest in its remain
ing strongholds. Practically all of
Virginia, the greater part of North
and South Carolina and Mississippi,
and much of Alabama have already
been freed under the plan of leaving
to each county to determine whether
or not it should rid itself of the tick.
The steady increase in the tick-free
area has, however, made it all the
more important to complete the work
without delay, for the full benefits of
eradication can not be realized as
long as a tick-free county is sur
by or adjacent to ticky terri
,ory. EradicafHn iSAtherefore, ceas-
ng to be matter oE1ocal and is be-
coming one of state concern.

fly better than the average Unfortu-
nately, it often happens that good
dairy products do not always find a
GOOD market This does not prove,
however, that there is not a demand
fer the product at q good price; 1t
simply means a lack Of knowledge Of
the markets on the part of the pro-
Queer. Also, the dairyman is too Of
ten inclined to depend upon his home
sewn or upon his immediate commun-
ity for market for his products in
stead of looking for better prices else
where.
In this day Of the parcel post even
perishab1e products can be sent great
distances for a few cents, thereby
making it possible to sell such prod

from the farm to the consumer
There are hundreds Of people in our
towns and cities who would be glad
to get dairy products direct from the
farm II the farmers would put up
good, uniform products and deliver
regularly.
ANY one who is making dairy prod
ucts for the marketa should give the
business his close attention. Not only
should he understand the best meth.
DDS of making his products uniform,
but he should also study marketing
methods For instance, it is the GUS

butter into round rolls varying in size
from one to one and a. half pounds
and send it to the market in a small
crock or wrapped in towel Neither

moulded into a rectangular block,
wrapped in parchment paper to hold
the moisture and keep the contents
clean, and which has an outside cover
of attractiyely colored cardboard on
which is printed advertising designed
to help its sale. The advantage OF
such a package is obvious. A first

Department of Agriculture has written
officials of the Boy Scouts of America
suggesting that the work being done
by the scouts to aid the gardening
campaign might be rendered even more
valuable by organization of boy pa
troll to prevent petty garden thieving.
Few people realize that this evil is
perhaps the greatest single factor tend
Ing to discourage home gardening in
pland about cities,' Mr.. Nrooman wrote.
May l suggest that the Boy Scouts be
especially charged with keeping watch
neighborhoods? They should make
hood that stealing garden produce this
year is not only theft. but disloyalty.
The garden sneak thief Is to the home
gardener what the sheep-killing dog is
to the sheep raiser. his worst enemy.
Washington Boy Scouts already had
volunteered for this work in connection
with the home garden campaign in the
capital. The scouts have not been
called upon yet, since there has been
little depreciation reported here. AS a
protective measure signs containing a
warning against trespasSing, signed by
