This Year Worst for Tick"

THE achievements Of past years,
however, now are history. We have

with the new statewide compulsory
dipping laws in Texas, which become
effective in the last zone of hat state
in 1929, il is not beyond reason to hope
that the federal quarantine can be en-
tirely lifted from American territory at
the end of 1928. We may regard "A
tick South in 1923 as our aim. But
to realize that aim, remember that the
area still under quarantine is 0,036

be allowed to lag in n year., and we
should start off this year by setting
up another record. Judging by what

What South Has Done.

More than that, we must, everyone,
take off our hats to the farmers. live

Der that while these people were helping
tick eradication, they were not only
buying Liberty bonds, subscribing to
the Red Cross and other organizations,
and sending their SOM to war, but were
accomplishing notable things in raising
the food crops that were regarded as
essential 20 a strong America. When
the slogan, The South Must Feed It.
SELF was sounded. the farmers OF the
South answered. Before the war the
South imported annually about $780,
900, 900 worth of corn, hay, grains,
mixed feed, flour, meat and meat prod
ucts, dairy products, poultry and poul-
try products, and canned goods. There
has been a great change. IL 1918 the IS
Southern states, including all the tick
infested states, produced Al, 7S7. 900
bushels more corn than they harvested
In 1909. The IL states comprising the
cotton belt produced 1875 per cent more
wheat In 1918 than in 1909. These same
states during the same period increased
their oat crops 1913 per cent: their hay
yield 12S per cent, Irish potatoes III
per cent and sweet potatoes Ga per cent.
The same tendency Is shown in live
stock production. As an instance in
1914 Mississippi marketed only Sc, 229
fat cattle, while in 1918 II shipped 1885,
237 animals to the st. Louis market,
an increase Of 1871 per cent.

which the ultimate decision might rest

ers IN Paris were equally unable at all
times to guarantee the United States
congress would accept any treaty Of
Paris which places the United States
policy for the future in the hands OF
the European countries, when these
constitute a majority in the league of
nations.
We had then easily and promptly the
end OF a superstate. Next came the
problem Of ~dispoSing Of the German COL
onies and Turkish territories. Under
Mr.. Wilson'S various utterances a log
ical solution of the division OF these
colonies and territories among the great
powers was practically impossible; sat
isfying solution was found in a man
datory system under which, for exam
pie, Great Britain does not me Me-
sopotamia or France the Kameron, but
each undertake respectively to repre-
sent the league Of nations in that terri
tory and to administer It, agreeing to
report to the league Of nations and
pledging itself to set up no exclusive
economic privileges for its nationals.
Actually, this means that instead Of
owning these territories outright, vari-
Gus great powers will administer them,
much as France administers Morocco
In theory under the Algecirus agree
ment, or as Great Britain has admins
tered Egypt under no agreement.
At this point there was raised, and
remained unanswered, the question as
to how many OF the worlds foundlings
the United States will adopt. Constan-
tinople has been suggested, Armenia
and Liberia. but the American repre-
sentatives in Paris were for obvious
reasons unable to commit the United
States even to an Armenian trusteeship,
which is one that offers very great OPP
p~ortunity for unselfish international
service. 1t will be seen, then, that IN
all the great problems 1t was impossible
for the Paris conference to reach clear
cut decisions. Had Mr.. Wilson brought
a program ratified in advance by the
senate and Endorsed by the people of
the United States, he might have i'm
posed a very considerable portion of 1t
upon the nations of Europe. When he
was unable to bring such a program,
It became clear that no other force

the league of nations was inevitably
bound to remain a loose confederation
of ike-minded nations, destitute OF
power to enforce its decisions and con-
demned to rely upon moral influence,
