Writing from Paris. under date OF
July ls prior to his departure for the
front, he describes an aero raid over
the city, thus:
1T was one of the most exciting
things ] have ever experienced. AT
about 10 o'clock one Of the weirdest
sounds ina ginable broke out, when the
sirens all over town sounded the sig
nal of danger. You know how twenty
or more sirens continuing TO blow for
perhaps fifteen minutes steadily in the
stiffness of the night would sound.
After a pause of about fifteen minutes
or So during which time the power
full army search lights, three OF four
of them, immensely strong, swept the
sky, trying to locate the enemy planes,
all of the batteries over the city began
to fire at terrific rate. There must
be a good many artillery stations about
here, but l judge they are all hidden,
as / have never seen a single gun.
There were all sizes, from mitrail-
Ieuses (small machine guns) to at
least $50 millimeters Gmmense guns,
tho Of course not the largest, which.
believe are 400's. which send a shell
about ten feet long).
Firing Continued an Hour.
This firing, with some pauses, con-
tinued for about an hour You could
see the shells bursting in the air like
big rockets good part OF the time
and in some places tie flash Of guns
as they were fired.s7At one moment
we heard the whirr of the enemy
planes in the distance. Talk about the
Fourth Of July! This, morning I hear
that town nearby was bombed. eve

Jefferson, Aug. S0.--A new peril in
running threefing outfit in a high
wind cost Edward Moseman his life.
He was beneath the engine cleaning
away the ashes, when a heavy gust

passed over the body. He was taken
to the hospital at Carroll where it was
found he was terribly crushed inward

TO CUT TICK ARMY IN HALF.
Broad Strip of Territory to Serve
as Object Lesson In Benefits
Of Eradication.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 18th
The army of cattle ticks is to be
cut in half this year and wedge
of tick-free territory driven through
the infested area to the Gulf of
Mexico. BY the end of 1914 it is
expected that the entire State of
Mississippi will be released from
quarantine and a broad highroad
opened for the unrestricted snip
ment of cattle to outside markets.
The effect OF this upon the whole
campaign for the total elimination
of the pest Throughout the South
is expected to be great. In order
to secure for the newly-freed coun-
ties the full benefits of eradication,
it has always been the policy to
plan, as far as possible the release
from quarantine so that cattle may
be brought in and out without pas
sing through ticky country The
new Mississippi law, however, re-
Quiring all tick-infested counties to
begin eradication work, enables this
policy to be carried out in a larger
scale than ever before. Not oaly
will the tick cease to exist for the
people of Mississippi but the results
that invariably follow its disappear
ance will prove a stimulating 90
iect lesson for neighboring areas
that may still be infested.
These results are too apparent for
even the most prejudiced to ig-
more For one thing the average
value of cattle increases, at once
and almost automatically, to an
extent which makes the cost of dip
ping negligible. AS to the exact a
mount of this increase opinions va
ry Recently a large number of
farmers in freed areas were asked
to give their opinions on this point,
and the average of their replies was
1925 a head. This, however, the
Federal authorities believes to be a
little high for a conservative esti-
mate for the entire South, and they
have fixed on $3.50 as a safe figure
for general use. The increase va
ries, of course, in different locali-
ties, and nAlabama, for example,
it has been placed at $500. On
| this basis, in the twenty-eight coun-
ties which have already been freed
in that State the cattle are now
worth $5,600,O00 more than in the
old days. Since the cost of eradica-
ton is insignificant in comparison,
| it is obvious that dipping watts are
an investment which returns liberal
dividends.
That these dividends are real, not
theoretical, is indicated by a CORE
| spending rise in land values. In one
Mississippi county the local autno-
rites were not at first convinced
that the eradication of the tick ac-
tually had put money into the peck
cts of the people. An investiga-
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1917-02-23

To the Farmers of Georgia:
You are going to find just as
have told you, that tne Mexican cot
ton boil weevil will prove one OF tne
best and most substantial of dis
guised blessings that has ever come
upon you. ! don't mean that you
are going to grow fat because of the
advent of this pest if you sit down
and do nothing to combat it,
But if you will adopt and execute
the fighting plans which experience
has proven valuable to other suffer-
ing states, in year or two you will
be congratulating yourself upon the
fact that the boil weevil came and
made you do things you knew you
ought to do, but did not.
In fact the coming of the boil Wee
vii mas already proven a blessing to
many of you, because you have
grown more food stuffs and more
fine hogs and cattle than ever before
in your lives, and have gotten a good
price for them. You have planted
more leguminous crops and you and
your lands are richer for it.
You do not have to stop growing
cotton. You cannot afford to stop
it. 1t is your business and your
duty to grow it But it has never
been your business or your duty to
make all cotton to the exclusion of
food for your family and your stock.
You can continue to make cotton in
spite of the boil weevil in good and
profitable crop yields if you will
plant early maturing and disease
resisting varieties, cultivate inten-
sively for rapid growth, clean off
your top crop in the early fall, and
pillow under stalks in early October
so as to kill off the greatest number
of these insects.
There is one thing l want to i'm
press upon you, and that is there
is nothing SO remarkable or wonder
full about 20 cent cotton which you
had for brief period in the fall of
1915, and are going to have it again.
Why shouldn't we have 20 cent cot
ton with everything else practically
without exception, selling at any
where from % to 100 per cent and
more higher tnan the prices of IS
months or two years ago!
Consider the most common artf
Giles of personal and household ne
cessity. The western corn you buy
to feed your stock and hogs and
make corn bread for your table,
costs you $1.25 a bushel, as against
60 cents to 20 cents just a short
while back. WHAT must be said of
the farmer who is short-sighted en-
ough not to grow it at home?
The flour you eat has doubled in
price; likewise, your beef that you
bought not long ago at 6 cents to
10 cents a pound. A three dollar
pair of shoes costs you 50 to Sc to-
day, and almost every article Of
clothing you wear has advanced in
proportion. If they do not get it out
of you in price, they take it out in
quality.
Your farm implements, the very
hammer and nails you use around
