We're Frum Mizz0urah

The Department of Agriculture sent us a most glowing account of what they are going to do to- ward freeing the country of the fever ticks. NINETY counties are to be freed this year. BUT, if they freed as many counties every year as they promise at the beginning of the year. they would have the entire North American Continent free and would be in South American searching the bushes with microscopes for little innocent baby ticks. We do not know who is to blame but we do know that the gay and festive tick still feasts on our cattle unaIraid of the.dire threats of the profession al tick eradicators. and Texas fever still takes a heavy toll from our stock raisers. We are in- formed by reliable vat owners that conditions are worse now than before a vat was built in this county. They say that when cattle are raised free of ticks they are almost sure to take the fever and die when ticks get on them. When raised with ticks on them they are not likely to have the fever. Some of the cattle have never had ticks and some stock growers have lost such cattle by letting their neigh
 bors ticky cattle in their pasture.
 The professional tick eradicators have put in so much time drag ying Polk Rider all over the coup-

 a jury that would stick him for not dipping his cattle that they have not had time to see that other men dipped theirs. It is even asserted that at least one of

Injunction Suit Filed

An injunction suit was filed yesterday in tine .chancery court of Ozark district asking the court to enjoin the Commissioners of the l.onelm road district and Judge Barham from building the road. The parties filing the suit were Jack King. Geo. Hutchens and John Collins.
 At a meeting of the commis- sioners some weeks ass 6 res- olut!on to not huild the road was passed and the commissioner 8 have been waiting on one of their attorneys to draw up the necessary papers to legally wind up the affairs of the road district. buS on account of the press of other business he has not drawn them up.
 There has been a large amount of indebtedness incurred in the preliminaries necessary before actual road building began and tho cOmmi ssioners can not just drop everything and go home. but must see that all the debte are paid and the district is legal ly dissolved. The delay is not their fault. The suit, though un. necessary, is all right. because we need lawyers. sometimes, and they should not be allowed to strve between times.
 The case will be heard before Judge Bourland some time in the near future.

with the formaldehyde solution,
said Mr.. Pipal.
The damage caused by oat smut
frequently runs as high as one
third of the crOI. Several years
ago before the seed treatment was
practiced much it was estimated
that the disease eXacted an annual
toll in the state OF more than 7,OOO.-
GOO bushels OF grain. The organic
ed effort OF the growers in CO
operation with the county agents,
has resulted in the wide spread
practice of the treatment until
many countries which formerly suf-
fered heavy losses are now compar-
atively free from the smut. The
benefit of the formaldehyde treat
ment OF seed oats has been demon
strated so conclusively that il is
fast becoming as regular a practice
as blowing or any other important
operation on the farm. The So
called dry treatment is used in
preference to the wet method ad-
vOcated In former years.

FOREIGN TRADE
German Indemnity

The late revolutionary coup in
Germany places fresh emphasis
upon the question which has long
agitated the minds Of allied diplo-
mats-whether the provisions nam
ing the German indemnity should be
modified.
The question should not concern
Germany's willingness TO pay but
her ability TO pay. II may be safely
assumed that the Germans will not
willingly pay any part OF the in
demnity. To assume otherwise would
show an utter ignorance Of human
nature. II may also be safely as
sumed that German propagandsts,
not all beyond the Rhine. have mag
nified the burden which the new re-
public carries, and have minimized
it's recuperative powers and hence
it's ability TO repair the damage
wrought. The question of reduc-
ton in the indemnity IS one purely
Of eXpediency No punishment in
strict justice is too severe for the
German war atrocities. Neverthe-
less the allies would suffer by
plunging Germany into chaos. thus
counting an extension Of bOlshevism
that might bridge the Atlantic.
Former Ambassador Gerard urges
"a fixed. reasonable indemnity" and
assistance in the shape of food. raw
materials, and credits. The allied
supreme council favors fixing the
indemnity. Surely practicable pro-
gram requires no less.

Good Ration Suggested
for Raising Chicks

A good chick ration may consist
of a grain mixture OF eight pounds
of finely cracked corn. two pounds
of cracked wheat, two pounds of
steel cut oats and a mash mixture
OF two pounds OF bran, two pounds
of shorts and one and two-tenths
pounds OF meat scraps with all the
butter milk that the chicks will
drink. according TO Prof. A. CT. Phil
fps, head of the poultry department
at Purdue university.
The grain, fed five times daily,
should comprise most of the ration
during the first week. After that
the mash should be given, feeding
sparingly at first and increasing the
amount as the chicks become older.
MIX, as n drink. should be avail
able at all times instead Of water
Green feed in the form of sod or
sprouted oats and wood ashes
should he given freely until chicks
st out on the ground. Exercise is
essential and feeding the grain in a
