ADMIRALTY SHOWS
 NO HASTE ABOUT
 PUBLISHING RECORD
Believed May Submarine Record Far Below April Reason
 for Delay

Copenhagen, June 17.-(via London, June 1S.)-The German admiralty is show ing no haste to publish the submarine statistics for May. No estimates of them or even approximations have yet been issued, though announcement of the million-ton result in April was made May and the figures for March were published April l3
 The delay tends to confirm the impress sion that the May statistics will show a considerable falling off from the April figures, information from Germany be- ing to the effect that between 100000 and so00OO tons were sunk in May. It also is thought here that the German ad- miralty is endeavoring to prepare the public for the situation by long disserta- tions that results are to be measured not by the actual tons sunk, but by the guns and men which the necessity of arning ships keeps from being sent to the front

 After bombardment carried out last night in the sector of Hurtebise the Germans attacked, north of Mon ument, salient in our positions, which they succeeded in penetrating. Driven back after a spirited engage ment, the enemy was able to maintain himself only in small element of our advanced line.
 "The artillery fighting continued throughout the whole day in this re- zion as we'll as in the neighborhood of Cerny and north of Braye-en -I.aon- nois.

ERADICATION BOOMING
Half a Million Southern Herds Being
Dipped Regularly in 20, 900 Watts

With active work for tick Grad
ication proceeding in 312,251
square miles of southern terri
tory the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and State
officials are decidedly hopeful
that their co operative goal
South entirely free from the cat
tie fever tick in 1921"-will be
attained. Twenty thou sand eight
hundred and eighty two dipping
watts were in commission in Au-
gust, and during the month 522,-
o41 different herds, comprising
1919 54 cattle, were being dip
ped regula cly every two weeks.
A force of 1901 Federal State,
and county inspectors were &C
lively employed ia the work of
getting rid of the cattle pest.
When the territory now being
worked is entirely freed of ticks,
there will remain only a compar.
atively small quarantined terri
tory in the entire South.
MISSISSIPPI IN THE LEAD
Mississippi led with $3.50
herds and 1873 52 cattle dipped
regularly in $3.50 yats. This
work, it is believed. shortly will
clean out the tick from As, 176
square miles of territory and
free the entire State from quar-
antine this year. Louisiana was
second in number of cattle dip
ped and Alabama third, each dip
ping over 100000 animals. Ark
ansas was close fourth with
GAS, 600 animals dipped.
Texas. where dipping recently
has become active, is handling
295, 592 cattle, but leads all the
States in area handled, with owe r
$4,000 square miles being work
ed. Florida. where cattle are not
so numerous. is second in area
covered, with 53.111 square
miles. One of the most hopeful
signs Is that the State legisla
lures of Georgia, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas
have made dipping of cattle to
eradicate ticks compulsory.

ARKANSAS APPLES In MONOPOLY
In OKLAHOMA

Fayetteville. Oct. 1.-THE ap-
pie growers of this state have al.
most monopoly of the Oklahoma
market and are deriving a ire
mendous advantage as result of
the Arkansas Plant Act of 1917,
a bill which originated at the
University of Arkansas and re-
ceived the endorsement of the
State Horticultural Society. The
Oklahoma market price is about
70 per cent above that of other
markets available for Arkansas.
Before the enactmento of this law,
Arkansas apples were practically
barred from the Oklahoma mar
ket. Since that time, however.
the work of the Arkansas Plant
Board has brought about such
an improvement in the quality of
trult that is now welcomed and
given the preference over that of
other sections.
