Tick eradication is not a question of
the law in the state of Arkansas now
for the reason that numbers of
cases have been brought to the Su-

1t is our candid opinion that to OPP
pose tick eradication work at this time
when our nation needs a greater beef
supply, is unpatriotic.
We desire to assure the people of the
State that this organization is in hearty
accord with the Federal and State De-
partments in their efforts to eradicate
the Texas fever tick. which is by far
the greatest enemy to cattle raising in
the South. Yours very truly,

Little Rock, Ark, June 81. 1918,
Chairmen, County Councils of Defense:
At the regular meeting of the State
Council of Defense, held in Little Rock
June 10th, the matter of assisting the
Federal and State Authorities in the
eradication of the Texas fever ticks in
the counties where sytematic work is
now being conducted, was discussed
and circular letter was ordered sent
to the chairmen of the county councils
throughout the state commencing this
work.
The matter was brought forcefully
before the council in a letter received
from Mr.. Hoover, Federal Food Admin
istrator. This letter says in part: That
the Agricultural Department are so alb
solutely right in doing all that is with
in their power to eradicate the tick and
Mr.. Hoover is so absolutely for them
in this work and believes so thoroughly
in tick eradication, both as a war mea-
sure to save feeds and increase the
beef supply and as a permanent agri-
cultural policy. that it seems super
flous for him to state his position here
more emphatically.

WORKING HORSE IN SUMMER
Large Number of Animals Lost Eacn
Year Through Lack Of Care and
From Excessive Heat.

1t no doubt would be one of the
greatest surprises that we have had
for some time, were we to realize the
large number of horses that are lost
each year from the lack of care and
from the heat; the time is here again
when we must watch our horses care
fully so that they may work safely
and to the best advantage for us dur
ing the long hot days Of summer.
The horse that will stand the hot
weather we'll is the one that has been
well groomed and cared for, you must
feed your horses we'll if you want them
to work well and If you want to get
the most from your feed you must
keep them clean and comfortable. The
horse that is working hard during the
hot Weather should be watered at least
four or five times each day, and every
hour or hour and a half would be still
better.

A great deal of feed available for
cattle is now either wasted absolutely
or put. to some less profitable use.
Failure to utilize the full value of this
material has increased unnecessarily
the cost of producing meat, has di-
minished the profits from cattle feed
ing and has discouraged many farm
ers from engaging in an industry es-
Sential to their permanent prosperity.
According to reports Of experts,
who have made extensive experiments
along this lille, the loss in grain straw
rand corn stover amounts to more than
S100,00Q000 annually. Both Of these
products are disposed of. most econ
omically whe, fed to cattle In con-
nection with some form Of con-
centrated feed. Straw is especially
valuable in carrying the breeding
herd through the winter, in wintering
stockers, and as supplementary
roughage for fattening cattle. Sto-
yer, too, is an excellent feed for win

ing cows. Nevertheless, in many sec
tions of the country where these prod
ucts are abundant, little attempt is
made'to take advantage Of their value
for these purposes.
Burning is Waste.
OF an annual straw crop Of ap-
proximately 12O,OO0,000 tons, it is es-
timated that only two-thirds Is put
to its best use-live stock production.

one-half is sold or turned under and

absolute waste and although plowing

The average value of oil kinds of

matter of fact only about S per cent

Do not neglect the late cultivation of

In this connection it is pointed out
also that feeding straw in the winter
will insure under certain circum-
stances the full utilization of summer
grass. In q number Of western
states it frequently happens that grass
goes to waste because feeders are un-
lwilling to pay the high prices asked
for steers in the spring. With an
abundance of straw on hand to lessen
the cost of wlnterlng, feeders can take
advantage of the lower prices for
stocker cattle in the fall to secure
on reasonable terms at that time
enough stock to pasture all the grass
the following year.
Astonishing Waste.
