First Fata! Hunting
Accident Of the Season
THE AGRICULTURAL INQUIRY

Any program for legislation de-
signed to beget a permanent, stable
prosperity for the farmers must be
in accord with a legislative program
for general industrial property. This
is the corner stone on which the joint
commission of agricultural inquiry
will build it's report to Congress,
The first section of this report will
be ready for Congress when it re-
assemblies land the other section is
expected to be ready by December l..
The most important fact that this
investigation has developed is that
outside of legislation which will re-
move the obstacles that now stand
in the way of successful farm organ
ization land that will affirmatively
give the farmers the same credit
facilities that industry generally has,
here isn't much that legislation can
10. The commission will emprasize
that it must be kept in mind that
he country is prosperous or unpros-
porous as a whole. While you can
,empororily' legislate improved condi-
ions for one class or another in re-
alton to the whole, you can't have
agricultural prosperity unless you
lave general prosperity. In order
o make the farmer prosperous, in
addition to doing those things that
Will afford the farmer adequate ia
ilities for doing his business, for
yhich the government can properly
urnish the machinery (such as Gre
its)-you make the farmer pros
aerous by doing things that make the
ountry as whole prosper.
So, to be more definite, the COM
mission will recommend:
First-The passage of bill some
hing like the Volstead-C appar bill,
TENTATIVELY authorizing farmers
Cooperative unions.
Second-It will recommend legis-
atom that will set up machinery for
furnishing the farmers credit for
tx months to three years or more as
fill the gap between the longtime
redit furnished by the National and
tate banks and the farm loan or
anizations, including the farm loan
ssociation, and the short-time credit
ow furnished by the National and
tate banks.

county. A progressive farmer who had
experienced unsatisfactory results in
raising cattle under tick conditions
read a notice Of this meeting Of pro-
test and Immediately wrote letter
to the president of the bank In the
town In which the meeting was held.
In this letter he said:
Noticing In the newspapers that
your people meet opposition in tick
eradication, desire to express my
actual experience on this line. Before
the discovery that the cattle tick was
the source of infection, the only cause
of bovine fever, ] brought many regis
tered Jersey dairy cattle to Putnam
county, middle Georgia. Later / Inn
munize6 the northern cattle by trans
fusing blood from cows carrying ticks
to the susceptible northern-bred cattle.
"While the treated cattle did not SUBJ
sequently die Of cattle fever, the proc
ess proved harmful to the growth and
development Of the animal whose life
was saved. When the history OF the
deadly tick became fully known, tick
eradication justly took precedence over
any treatment. Its ease Of accom-
plishment, Its economy and beneficial
results that followed all emphasized
its necessity to any community that
desires to raise cattle.
I'm our part of the state no man, no
matte. how unreasoning and bitter his
opposition to tick eradication when we
needed his moral support, can now be
found who does not fully approve the
work. No argument should carry more
weight than the full Endorsement and
approval of opponents when they see
the whole truth, and change from OPP
position to advocacy.
"Surely we who have bred cattle I'M
der tick infestation, and later after
tick eradication, are entitled as mis-
sionaries to endeavor to benefit others
who have never been without the dis
advantage Of the pest"

DRUMMOND MAN ACCT.
DENTALLY SHOT SELF
Was Carrying Gun Into the
House When Accident Oc-
cured. Was Rushed to Hos
pital but Died on the Way.

The first fatal accident of the
hunting season in Bayfield, county
occurred on Monday of this week at
Drummond when Steve Demitroff.
thirty years old, accidently set off
his rifle while going up the steps in
to his house, and he died while be-
ing taken to the hospital at Ashland
The accident occurred at about $50
Neighbors heard the shot of the gun
and rushed to the house, to find
Demiroff laying on the seps with a
bullet hole through his body. From
the position of the body when it was
found, j. is thought that Demitroff
was going up the steps to his house
with an armload of groceries, carry
ing the rifle behind him, and it is
the supposition that the trigger OF
the rife caught on the steps or a
jar set it off.
The bullet entered the lower part
of the abdominal cavity, and made
its way upward into the chest.
He was rushed to the hospital al
Ashland on the afternoon train, bu
died shortly after the train pulled
into Ashland and before the ma.
could be taken to the hospital. His
suffering is said to have been liz
tense.
Demitroff was a Bulgarian b..
birth, but was naturalzied either
of the United States. He was un
married, living alone on a farm Sc
yeral miles out of Drummond. HI
was employed at Drummond during
the day.
The body of Demitroff was takel
to Drummond where burial will take
place.

NOTED SEA GIANT OBSOLETE
Blocked kaiser's Ambitions
VIII BE Strapped.

It was announced by the British adj
miralty on June / that the OLD battle
ship Dreadnaught, first of a famous
class, was to be broken up The ad-
|: miralty has sold the once mighty YES
sci, which blocked all the kaiser's
naval ambitions, together with over
100 other obsolete battleships, cruisers,
monitors, destroyers and torpedo
boats, says Current History.
Launched on February 2, 1906, with
her ten 12-inch guns, her complete
armored belt and her speed of Il
knots, she not only made the rest
Of the British feet obsolete, but also
the rapidly growing fleet on which the
Germans were building their hopes.
The Dreadnaught meant that the
Kiel canal had to be widened, the
locks enlarged and the docks rebuilt.
German time and money that might
have been spent on constructive work
were wasted on mere alterations.
Though the design was varied, every
capital ship laid down by every coun-
try since then has been built on the
all-big-gun model of the Dreadnaught.
The new battleship type, initiated by
the late Lord Fisher. was stroke Of
genius. ~
When the great conflict began In
1914, Great Britain held an unques-
toned advantage on the sea. And
now, only Is years after King Ed
ward VIII launched the. great vessel
at Portsmouth, with Lord Fisher
standing at his side, the Dreadnaught
goes to the scrap heap, hopelessly OBJ
soIete. Such is the speed of naval
progress; sic transit gloria. The adj
vocates of a naval holiday-a period
of lessened activity in battleship build
ing-have here an argument on their
side.

REST cows BEFORE CALvING
Erroneous TO Believe That Animals
Cannot BE Dried Up for Neces-
sary Rest Period.

Dry off your good cows and give
them a rest of eight to ten weeks be-
fore calving. 1t will do them good.
Some cows have tendency to milk
nearly up to the date Of freshening.
and 1t is often belief that they can
not be dried off for a sufficient rest
period. Expert herdsmen, however,
find that no injury results from dry
ing up COW which gives as much as
FIVE to eight quarts daily. II one milk
ing day is omitted for several days
and the animal then partly MIXED out
after skipping an entire day.

the most effective results In tick eradi-
cation are obtained. During March
approximately half a million cattle
splashed through the dipping vats In
the state. The April reports show
that 833, 434 cattle were dipped under
federal, state and county supervision.
This is very good record, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
.ment of Agriculture, when 1t is con-
sidered that Georgia is essentially a
c0tton-g growing state and that the cat
tie industry has been neglected on
account of the handicaps presented by
the presence of ticks.
Now all cattle that have been
dipped in Georgia are marked with
paint, and this plan has given very
satisfactory results In getting to the
dipping watts animals pastured on the
epen range that might otherwise miss
regular dipping. The use. of range
riders, whose duty ills to search for
and dip cattle that are not marked,
Sas considerably increased during
April.
In Georgia. as in Ell other southern
states where the fight against cattle
ticks has been waged. there is always
more or less opposition to the tick
eradication movement. Recently a
