Rough English Channel

an unsuccessful effort last week,
plans to try again.
Mrs. Hamilton started from st.
Margaret's bay at 6.10 o'clock at
night. She was forced to abandon
her efforts in the morning.
She was in the water for twelve
hours and says she got to within
nine miles of the French coast. She
attributed her failure to reach
France to the heavy seas and strong
currents.
Last week two young oarsmen
started out to scull across from Eng
land, but were compelled to give up
the attempt Recently, too, Miss
Zetta Hulls got almost across on a
watercycle, but the machine broke
down. when she was nearing the goal.
The only two of the many swim
mers who have faced the channel
waters and succeeded were Captain

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The de-
partment of agriculture makes an
nouncement that the cattle industry
Fin Georgia is. being reclaimed
from the dominion of the cattle
tick. Florida. a sister state, the de-
partment says, is still heavily in
tested by the ticks and is expected
to be the last stronghold Of the para.
site in the south.
Georgia is using 300 dipping
watts to- combat the tick which fol
years has retarded the cattle indus
try Federal reports show that dur
ing July in the state there were
SSS,219 clippings of cattle supervis-
ed by federal, state and county. EN-,
ployes. This figure is one of the
largest recorded intSany state east
of the Mississippi river since syste-
matte tick eradication began in 1906
Already 366.674 square miles ir
the state of Georgia have been re.
leased from federal quarantine. and
cattle from the released districts
may now be moved Interstate with
out the former restrictions. With
a continuation of the extensive dip
ping nrogram. federal officials ex-
pect that large additional areas in
Georgia will be ready to be releas-
ed from quarantine in December
zen the work for 1920 is complet-
ed.
AS evidence Of interest in improv-
ed live stock an international live
stock exhibition will be held in AT.
lanta this fall. and it is expected

Foundation stock for an extensive
and profitable cattle industry. Re-
ports from federal tick eradication
Supervisors indicate that the intro
auction Of fine live stock in Georgia
is following very closely on the trail
at the live stock exhibition. it Is
stated, will be as keen as shows of
similar character in northern states
and in regions of the south now free
from ticks.
From present indications Georgia
will be one of the next states to be
entirely freed from ticks The prog
ress is due largely to the energy of
cattle owners in supporting tick
eradication work and also to their
foresight in realizing that live stock
can not be grown probably until the
tick menace is removed.
Florida. the sister state of Geor-
gia lying to the south. continues to
be heavily infested with cattle ticks
an dis expected to be the last strong
bold of that parasite in the south.
The department of agriculture
points out, however, that bv dipping
2 million cattle per month, cattle
men in Florida could make rapid
progress toward removing that state
from federal quarantine. In fact.
with the larger tick-infested area Of
Florida the dinping of two million
cattle per month would be no great
er undertaking than the extent of
systematic dining now in progress
in Georgia. The fact that larger
ida by persons having little or no
land makes the problem somewhat
more difficult. but not seriously so.
Notwithstanding these problems the
detailed federal records prepared
each month for all regions in which
ticks occur show systematic "mop-
ping up Of this nest. and the final

national committee and $250,0l0 for
state purposes.
c. w. Mcclure, of Atlanta, Ca,
said Mr.. Upham sent c. f. Taylor, a
paid field worker, to him last month
with a letter stating that Mr.. Tay-
lor was delegated to raise moro
money in that state. Mr.. Mcclure
quoted DIR. j. c. Stockbridge, of At
lanta. who assisted him, as saying
Mr.. Taylor had told DR.. Stockbridge
that he wanted to raise $4,000 in
Atlanta alone.
Mr.. Blossom said they actually
raised $4,000 in Cuyahoga county

obtained pledges of about $1,000 in
the state of Georgia, on which So

torial investigation of the campaign

day when Dudley S. Blossoms. who
helped raise Cleveland's quota, testi-
fed Governor Cox's figure. of $400.-
600 for that city was correct.
Senator Reed called the witness
attention to the quota sheet submit
ted last week by Fred w. Upham, Re-
publican national treasurer, which
fixed the amount for the entire state
Of Ohio at 100000.
Mr.. Blossom testified that A. A.
Protzman, paid agent of the ma
tional committee, was present when
the Cleveland quota was announced
as 100000, and that Mr.. Protzman
helped direct the raising of the
money.
Forty teams of six men each were
