TESTS TOTAL

Cattle officially tested during June,
1922, for tuberculosis numbered $780,

the Bureau of Animal Industry, Unit

This figdrc exceeds the normal
amolnt of tubercnlin testing by scv-

lah, La, for first hand information
on how to apply calcium arsenate in
fighting boil wcevils. In addition to
many individual growers and planta-
ton managers, large parties of cot
ton planters from Oklahoma, Arkan-
sas, Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi
make the trip to Tallulah by automo-
bile.
Provision has been made at the la
boratory for illustrating in the most
effective ways the application of the
poison. Motion pictures are used as
we'll as trips to nearby plantations
where the stations specialists are
conducting poisoning operations.
County agents also come to Tallulah,
sent by chambers of commerce and
bankers, to receive instruction in the
use of poison and dusting machines.
Increased interest in boil weevil con-
troll has been stimulated by the ncces-
sity for protecting the cotton crop
against the unusually large number
of weevils present this year through
out the cotton belt. The resulting de-
mand for calcium arsenate and ma
chincry for applying it has brought
about temporary shortage both of
the poison and dusting machines in
many sections.

cattle.
The removal o such animals from
herds otherwise healthy is gradually
bringing about better health among
farm live stock, safer milk supplies,
and many econolic benefits. The po-
pularity Of tuberculosis eradication is
evidenced by the length of the list of
of herds waiting to be tested. At the
end of June there were applications
on file for the testing of 35,239 herds,
containing more than half million
cattle.

creamery manager as to the number
of cows a certain farmer may hasdle
advantageously and give him the
reeded credit.
The Sumter Creamery of Sumter,
S. c., is attracting great deal of
attention in that part of the country.
The capital stock of 100000 is owned
by farmers and business men who
are interested in farms, no single per-
son having more than $1,000 worth of
stock. In addition to the rcgulrr
butter business, the creamery retails
milk, cream, butter, andcottage
cheese, and an ice-cream business
has been started. A lunch room has
been established at the creamery,
which is in the main part of the
town, and there is rest room for
the convenience and comfort Of farm
women. A few years ago, when the
cattle tick still held this region, such
an institution as this modern cream
cry would have been impossible.
In certain South Caroliha COM
munity there is a small farmer who
recently became an enthusiast on
dairy COWS. But before he tried COWS
he decided that bank stock was bet
ter investment. He put $1,000 of
hard-saved cash into a bank that had
just been organized. The bank, ow-
ing to bad management, went to the
wall and most of the money was gone.
Then he bought two purcbred Guern-
scy cows. Each COW had hcifcr
calf. Before these calves had reach
ed breeding age a we'll known dairy
man ocered $500 for the pair, but
the owner decided they were probably
worth just as much on his own farm.
"Now / think I know a good invest
ment when I see it," he said to the
man who made him the offer for the
calves. eff the Gucrnseys had only
come along before l bought that bank
stock"

LIVESTOCK NOTES

One serious drawback to dairying
has been discovered in South Caro-
lima, in the region that only relently
was freed Of the cattle tick. One
prominent farmer who has an excell-
ent herd of Gucrnseys that has been
winning prizes for him on the show
circuit says that out of five farms he
owns the only one on which he was
obliged to pay an income tax last year
was his dairy farm. His other farms
are devoted largely to cotton, corn,
and tobacco. He has not yet adver-
tised sale of his COWS.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1922-08-16

progress in any line. The farmer
has not always considered his posi-
ton in the dignified way he should.
In fact, it is only i'll recent years
that he has been made to realize the
scientific side Of his work. Prior to
that time he was really trcspasscr
on the soil; he was robbcr; an in-
crate. He scratched the soil; he
mutilatcd it; he robbed it Of its pro-
ducing power. Any farmer who
does not give back to the soil
a proportionatc part of that which
he takes from it is an embezzler,
not only of Gods Providence, but
also of Natures bounty.
SThc farmer did not have the right
attitude toward his own son. He
worked him because he was his son.
That was unfair and dishonest. He
should have considered his son a
partner and shareholder in the la
bors, responsibilities, liabilities, as
sets and profits Of the farm. He

Africa who has been studying dairy
ing in this country, is now manager
of creamery in Sumter County, S.
G. He says if this State had two
thirds as many cows as Wisconsin it
could do away with five-sixths of it's
fertilizer bill. 1t will be some time
before the Palmetto State has that
many cows, but individual farmers
in sections where ticks are no long
er factor are reducing the fertilizer
bills on their own farms by intro
ducin gthc dairy cow and returning
the manure TO the fields.
Being between two fires is not
much worse than being between the
cattle tick and the boil wecvil, the
position still occupied by many Sou
thcrn farmers. Many farmer in
South Carolina who did not appre-
ciate the advantage of the cradica-
ton Of the cattle tick, went in for
cows when the cotton pest arrived in
numbers two years ago. Now they
consider themselves fortunate in hav-
ing dipped the tick before their more
persistent enemy arrived. They have
cut down the cotton acreage and are
now growing velvet beans, corn, ard
cow-pca hay, about the only feeds
that are needed in addition to pasture
to keep cow producing 2roftably.
In the Pee Dee section Of South
Carolina the dairy COW is increasing
in favor since the tisk has been lick
ed Farmers who Ifavc been in fin
ancial straits on account OF the boil
wecviPs appetite or FOR other causes
have been given credit to buy cows
by bankers who real zc that a milk
producer is Il pretty safe hej when
there are no ticks acound. In the
town OF Sumscr, where there is a
creamery capitalized ut $50, 900, the
bankers have put up the money for
many carloads Of COWS that have been
brought in during recent months.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Nov. 3.-Lo-
cal issues will have no place in the
general election mex week as far
as the county e is concerned, as
the governing body, the Board of
Commissioners, do not come up for
election until next spring. but the To-
cal politicians are taking a very
active interest in the county and
state campaign.
The most outstanding feature on
the local political horizon, the sub
ject of common gossip, is the report
ed trade off" between factions Of
both the Republican and Democratic
party, who are united in r~e-electing
the two Republican freeholders and
the Democratic candidates to the
balance of the offices.
This gossip has been rife since the
primary election and while consis-
tently denied by members of the
G. o. p, is readily admitted by fol-
lowers of the opposite party. 1t is
openly charged that the Democratic
freeholders will be shown a marked
preference in Perth Amboy, though
the politicians of this locality will
combine to offset any advantage
gained there by getting solidly be-
hind the Republican freeholders who
they predict will be returned by a
handsome majority.
There seems to be little doubt but
that certain of the professional po-
litical followers in the male ranks
of the Republican party will be out
to knife the state ticket, as they
have been quite open in the past IN
declaring themselves in that connec-
ton, but the women's vote which is
looked on as a very uncertain factor
may offset any attempt at such tao
tics.
The Democratic party is working
tooth and nail to put over their state
ticket and predict that George S. Sill
ger, their gu~bernatorial candidata,
will carry the city by a majority of
1900, while the county will go at
least $500 in his favor. A tremen-
dous increase on the part of the
Democratic workers activities have
been manifested since the primaries.
being prompted by the fact that g
native son heads the ticket.
