other tick-free sections may be safely
introduced for the purpose of i'm
proving and building up the beef and
dairy herds of the south.
There are in operation now 6,976
dipping watts at which during July of
this year 6,680,232 dippings Of cattle
were officially supervised. There are
2,202 Federal, State and county en-
ployes devoting their entire time to
tick eradication work, and it Is be-
lieved that the accomplishment of
1918 will exceed that of last year.
1t is expected that practically all of
Louisiana and all of South Carolina,
in addition to areas in other states,
will be freed this year.
The most notable accomplishment
of last year was the freeing of Mis-
sissippi, which opens a tick-free high
road to the Gulf. When South
Carolina is freed from quarantine
Atlantic Ocean.
1t was estimated by the Bureau of
Animal Industry a few years ago that
the total loss to the cattle industry
of the south due to the presence of
the tick aggregated close to 100000
000 every year. During the fiscal year
1918 there were shipped to market
for immediate slaughter 3,015,STo
cattle from the tick-infested portions
of the south. Had these cattle been
raised under tick-free conditions,
they would have averaged about 200
pounds a head heavier, or 0o,000,-
600 pounds in all. The Importance

tary or health standpoint before the
| producers interest is aroused.
Cooling of milk as a rule can be
properly and practically done only
where ice is obtainable. But when
it is realized that ice can be had on
farms producing IS per cent. of the
| country's milk and cream supply, one
sees the importance Of taking ad-
vantage of natural facilities
In other parts of the country where
natural ice is not available, the pro-
Queer can keep down the loss from
sour milk or cream by taking full ad
vantage of spring or well water.

The steady advance Of the Federal,
Statet and county forces fighting the
cattle fever tick in 10 Southern states
means benefits not only for the own
ers Of live stock in the states most di-
rect1y concerned, but to live stock
owners in all other states, and in 4
larger sense to the nation as a whole
and all the nations associated in the
struggle against German autocracy.
In the first place, a victory over the
ticks will mean that southern farm
ers will have no obstacle to the con-
version Of their excellent pasture
lands into good meat and milk. Next.
1t viii mean a new and important
market for northern-bred live stock.
Finally, there will be more meat and
more milk for America and the AL
lies.
That Is why the anti-tick fight, al
though carried on only in 10 of the
4S states, is in reality national en-
terprise.
To Americans not acquainted with
the destructive work of the cattle
fever tick it should be explained that
this little parasite has done more to
impede the development of the south
ern cattle industry than any other
single factor. The tick not only
sucks the blood of cattle, making
them thin and scrawny, and uses for
its purpose the food that should go
into meat ard milk, but it spreads
among the cattle the serious splenetic
or tick fever Cattle seriously in
tested with ticks become emaciated
ana weak, and thousands Of them die
every year.
The method of fighting the ticks
adopted by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, in cooperation
with the states and counties, is the
use of the cattle dipping vat. AT
regular intervals throughout the sum-
iner cattle infested with ticks or like
" to be infested are given bath in
the watts. The baths contain an ar
senical solution which kills the ticks.
Repetition of the baths and effective
quarantine measures prevent the
spread OF ticks and fever, and are
gradually pushing the freed area to-
ward the Gulf Of Mexico and the At
1antic Ocean.
When the United States entered the
world war the National Congress saw
at to hasten the anti-tick work by in
creased appropriations, aiming to
lessen the ravages of this parasite
and increase our food supply. AS
result of the speeding-up process
there were freed from cattle ticks
and released from quarantine in 1917

SPECIAL COURSE
IN AGRICULTURE
FOR REJECTED MEN
Storrs College Takes Up
Cases of Men Unfit For
Military Service.

Out of SS1 candidates examined for
admission to the S. A. T. C. unit at
Storrs, total of thirty, or nine per
cent, were rejected as physically I'M
fit. Under the pressure of handling
double the normal number of stu
dents, revising all courses to con-
form to the War Departments re-
quirements, and with virtually no In
crease in the teaching staff because
teachers are not available, it did not
at first seem possible to give any agri-
cultural work. The board of trus-
tees, however, is not daunted Presi-
dent Charles L. Beach has been in
structed to provide a course in agri-
, culture for young men under draft
age and those that are unfit for mill
tary service. Candidates rejected by
the military department are offered a
course IN agriculture equivalent to
the usual freshmen work in college.
When satisfactorily completed, 1t quail
flies the candidate for admission in
1919, to the sophomore class of the
regular four years course in agri-
! ture leading to a degree.
Last week there were All appllca-
tons for admission, only five of
which number were under II -1-2
years of age. Obviously. therefore,
less than two per cent of all appli-
cants. by reason of the operation of
the, selective service act, can reason
ably expect to enter and remain in
college and take advantage of a reg
ular course in agriculture for even
one full year. In other words. in
: stead of 400 students at Storrs fit
ting themselves for the primary and
Z re-eminent business of war, the col
iege continued on pre-war basis
would have a registration of five mer
under draft age plus portion of the
thirty rejected men, probably no
more than a score in all.

Americans Trade
For French Bread

With the American Forces in France
Nov. Ia common sight along the
highways of France where American
troops are in camp is to see Ameri-
cans trading their white bread sup
piled by the army for the darker
break baked by the French peasants.
The Americans say the white bread
is the finest in the world but that
they like the French bread for
change.
The French bread is baked in large
circular loaves and at times American
soldiers may be seen swinging along
the roadways on their way from a
village to their camp with the bread
hooked on their arms and little box
of French cheese in their hands.

HoRoRlNG COMRADES.

From Birmingham nine-tenths of
the "foating" navy population of l.
100 have gone to the war. What are
left of these rough, good-hearted fell
lows are banded together by social
ties, and, though seldom attached to
corporate church life, they are most
careful to see that honor is paid to
the memory of their fallen comrades.
They bring into the market place a
wagon decorated with the national
colors and a few flowers, and from it
a missioner conducts a service.
Then the navvies, aided some
times by canal boatmen, carry the
flowers to the chancel of the ada
cent parish church, and on its "roll
Of honor" the names of the dead SOL
diers are inscribed. The simple
piety, and the freedom from cere-
monial, favored by the members of
these little-known industrial COM
munities, make, indeed, strong ap-
peal to the imagination.-London

SADDENED AT LOSS OF BREAD
Destruction Of Foodstuffs by the Sub
marines Deplored by German
Women, According to Report.

Here is a curious extract from the
journal which Gertrud Banner
(who is, perhaps, the only woman
editing a paper in Germany writes
in her paper, Die Hilfe: "The wom-
en- in the streets were talking about
the ships sunk by the U-boats. They
shuddered at the thought of the de-
struction of so much foodstuff. One
can easily understand that feeling.
We have been taught to hold bread
in reverence, to feel the wasting of
it is crime and q blasphemy, and
something of the shudder that ran
through us in childhood at the old
story of the northern city which
threw corn into the sea revives when
we read these calculations of losses
in work of dreadful necessity" 1t
is we'll to hold bread in reverence,
especially when you are hungry. But
one might have thought that the
shudder would have been kept for
the loss of innocent lives caused by
the U-boats.-Westminster Gazette.

WHY JAPAN is so CROWDED
Area of Eastern Island Empire ls
Small, With Little Arabic Land
and Big Population.

When we grasp the smallness of
Japan and the size of its population,
we readily understand why the land
is so crowded. Japan proper is a
narrow and diminutive country. Its
area of roughly 100000 square miles
is somewhat smaller than that of
California, while its population is
twenty times as great, observes Asia.
Moreover, like Italy, Japan is chiefly
a country of mountains and its arabic
land under cultivation amounts to
only some $4,000 square miles,
farm area less than one-half of the
single state of Iowa. 1t follows that
Japan is the classic land of intensive
Its dwarf farms are not
really farms at all in our sense Of
the word, but gardens. There are no
pastures, no barnyards, but merely
little squares of land, now covered
with water, now filled with mud dry
ing in the sun, and now wildly green
with the beautiful rice plants. These
little patches Of terraced and irri-
gated land have nothing in common
with our 160-acre farms. In Japan
the average agricultural family (and
there are five and half millions of
them) occupies only two and three
quarters acres. Only one family in
ten has as much as five acres 1.-TWO

families have farms of less than one

LONDON STILL BIGGEST CITY


The city of London had a popula-
tion of only 364,061 on April 25,
1911, when the last British census
was taken. At that time it had So
called night population of only 49,
657. This is the original (and only)
city of London. The London gen.
orally referred to when census fig
ares are considered is the county of
London, OF 'Registration London"
so called because it is a unit for the
registration of births, deaths, mar
riages, land transfers and the like.
This community had population of
4,51S,021 in 1911 and was estimated
in 1914 to have shrunken somewhat.
There is still another London
Greater London, embracing the area
covered by the metropolitan police.
Greater London had population OF
1881, 1853 in 1911 and an estimated
population of 7,419,704.
For comparison with New York
the estimated population of Regis
tration London for 1911 should be
used. This was 4,51S,021. The city
of New York was figured at 4,766,-
1888 by the official census in 1910 and
was estimated at 5,468, 100 on July
[, 1915. There is also a greater
New York that doesn't figure in her
census, but this outlying district is
not as populous as the London "Out-

VARIETY IN SEAcoAsT TRIP
Improvement Of Body and Mind As-

Along Oceans Borders.

There can be nothing more de-
ightful than a seEcoast trip from
Mount Desert to st. Augustine, and
it will furnish enough variety to last
a lifetime. Every kind Of scenery,
from the towering rocks of Maine to
the sandy fats of New jersey; every
kind of soil, and every kind of bath
ing.
But it really doesn't much matter
where the visitor goes, so long as he
keeps within sight of the sea. There
is always something to interest, in
struct and amuse. 1t is pure enjoy
ment to sit on the sand and inhale
the salt air, and when tired of that
pastime, there is grabbing, sailing,
fishing, bathing, and, in early morn
ing, digging for CLAIMS. For running,
walking, driving or riding there is
nothing better than the beach, and
nothing more healthful.
Where the coast is rocky, or
broken, the hunt for shells and ma
rine animals is a never-ending pleas
ure for young and old, and one not
easily tired of.
In fact, the sea is a school of in
struction as well as a sanatorium. 1t
broadens the mind as well as the
chest, and it is a dull boy or girl who
can spend a fortnight by the sea
without being mentally, morally and
physically bettered by the experience.
