CATTLE TICK IS
BADLY WALLOPED
Bloodsuckers Receive Severe
TrounCing in Infested States
During Month of March.
fine WORK CT ERAD'CATORS
According to Reports 1,203,4s7 Cattle
Went Through "Canal to Prosper
ity"-Big Increase Made in
Number of Dipping Watts.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
If the annual battle against the cat,
tie fever tick can be compared to a
boxing match of nine rounds-each
month from March to December being
a round-it is true that the tick got a
thorough trouncing in the first round
and the bell rang with the parasite fig
uratively hanging over the ropes.
March of this year brought more
clippings of cattle for the tick than
were recorded in any other March
since the federal and state govern
ments began to fight the parasite in
1906. According to reports from all
tick-infested states 1,203,497 Cattle
went through "the canals to pros
perity'' in March, 1919. This compares
with 996,5O5 in March, 1918, and 72O,.
552 in March, 1917.
This years results came from an eff
fort to dip That Tick in March
with the object of preventing so far as
possible the reproduction of the para.
site. The ticks that were killed in
March will produce no thousands and
millions of descendants to suck cattle
blood all summer. With the flying
start in March, and with continued
vigorous attacks through the dipping
season, 1t is believed that the tick
eradicators have good chances of
reaching their aim of cleaning up co.
600 more square miles of territory this
year-more than ever mas been re-
leased in one year from the federal
quarantine against the pest
Healthy increases in the number
of dipping watts available for use also
are shown by reports to the bureau. In

DOESN'T PAY TO SPRAY BETS
Attacked by Leaf Spot, Especial
Iy In Small Garden.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Garden beets are attacked by leaf
spot which materially Injuries their
growth, but it is so easy to make a
new planting Of beets that it hardly
pays to spray, especially in the very
small garden. This is practically true
of large number of diseases.
BY keeping stock solutions Of cop
per sulphate and lime on hand, little
Bordeaux mixture can easily be made
up and applied with a cheap spray
outfit that can be purchased in any
seed store. Where these sprayers are
not made of brass or copper, the Bor-
deaux mixture should not be allowed
to stand in them, and they should be
thoroughly cleansed with clean water
after using.

ENGLAND SPENDS so MILLION
Grants to That Amount Will Be Dis
tributed for Reconstruction of
Roads and Bridges.

Grants amounting to $50,O00,000 will
be distributed by the British road
board for the reconstruction of roads
and bridges in England in 1919. De-
modified army units will be used to
do the labor. Local highway authori-
ties will be required to match this
appropriation by at least as large a
program Of road work as they carried
out in the year before the war. Area
taken into consideration, England's
program is thus far in excess of that
of the United States, including both
federal aid and state funds.

A Cattle Tick Dipping Demonstration.

statewide law enacted by the Georgia
legislature at it's 1918 session becomes
effective in December of this year, and
1920 may be the last year of the ticks

Struct dipping watts and make arrange
ments for systematic work. The people
Of Florida however, are alive to the
necessity for tick eradication, and the
state cooperation given to the federal
government makes it seem certain that
Florida, despite the great area still
under quarantine, will not be the last
state inhabited by the tick.
In North Carolina the eradication
work is being recognized with encour-
aging prospects for an early cleanup.
Final "mOpping-up" work is being con-
Quoted in South Carolina, from which
the federal quarantine was removed
last year.

work is being conducted following the
release of the state from federal quar-
antine, the courts recently decided
that the state laws providing for state
guarantees are legal, and it is be-
lieved that the final work in Missis-
sippi will be successful during the
present year.
Statewide Law in Alabama.
As result of the new statewide
decentralization law in Alabama it is
hoped that the entire state will be re-
leased from federal quarantine by
next December. The law requires all
county commissioners courts in tick
infested counties to provide means for
dipping and to require the dipping of
cattle every two weeks between April
l and December 1.
Systematic work is being conducted
in % counties in Georgia, giving
ground for hope that these counties
will be released from quarantine at
the end Of the dipping season. The

Reports From States.

A summary of the state reports
shows that Alabama with 6,230 watts
had 143,384 clippings in March; Arkan-
sas, 2,3O1 watts, 1916 clippings; Flor
ida, lila watts, 94,905 clippings; Geor-

Oklahoma, 1858 watts, 44,939 clippings
South Carolina, sol watts, LAT dip
pings; North Texas, 1905 watts, 273,-
937 clippings; South Texas, 1920 watts,
66,574 clippings. Preliminary and re-
organization work was conducted in
North Carolina.
Ample provision has been made in
every state for dipping watts, and an
adequate supply Of dipping materials
has been distributed to the counties
that will likely need them this season.
Satisfactory progress In constructing
watts and in preparing the dipping So
luton was made despite the excessive
rains.
In Texas, which has the largest
amount of infested territory, encourag-
ing progress is reported from zone
No. l, which includes the territory in
which eradication work is to be
planned most vigorously this year
Nearly all the counties in zone No. !
have made appropriations for the
work, and construction of dipping watts
is being pushed as rapidly as possible

KEEPING POULTRY'iN TOWNS
Especially in Suburbs of Large Cities
Families Should Keep Small
FIocks of Hens.

small flocks of poultry should be kept
by families in villages, towns and es-
pecially in the suburbs of large cities.
The need for this extension of poultry
raising is particularly great where con-
sumption exceeds production, as in the
northeastern states. Through utiiza-
ton of table waste, scraps and other
refuse as poultry feed much whole
some food in the form of eggs and
poultry for home use may be produced

POOR ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
Congressional Report Places Annual
Loss at $5o4,000,0oo for Trans

The congressional report Of 1914
placed the economic loss Of the United
States through poor roads at an an
nual figure of $504,0OOOO0 for trans
portation costs alone. The heavy
Increase in tonnage since that time
probably makes the loss today close
to $1,000,000,OOO.

Mancuso Confers With McAdoo
~ was learned yesterday that Magis-
trate Mancuso had been wrongly re-
ported as coming up shortly for re-
appointment. His term does not ex-
pre- until June 80, 1920. He and Chief
Magistrate McAdoo were in conference
lor the greater part of yesterday after
noon. AT the conclusion of the inter-
view the chief magistrate issued a
statement ip which he said that the
case stood entirely on the recorded
evidence produced before Magistrate
Mancuso.
II find from the record" he said.
that Judge Mancuso, intending to nro-
tect the defendants in their RIGHTS
against hasty trial, insisted that
there be an adjournment so that thew

did not do so.
He Quotes Rosalsky

Judge Rosalsky, both personally and
o11lclally, and no one has more clearly
stated the position of the magistrate
and the reviewing court than he has
done IN the case of the People VS..

peal from the decision of magistrate
on question of fact. Judge Rosalskv
there said:
The question as to which witness
was to be believed was preeminentlv
one for the magistrate who saw the
witnesses and observed their demeanor
and manner of testifying. He was
therefore in better position to de-
termlne the truthfulness or the un-
truthfulness of their testimony than q
Judge who reviews the case and who has
only the written record upon which to
rely.
This court will not invade the
province of magistrate and interfere
with his decision upon question of
fact, unless it clearly appears that his
flnding is not sustained by the evil
dence or that he has made an erro-
neous determination upon question Of
