the purpose of showing the process by
which the bottoms were built up, this
fact having. an important bearing on
the settlement Of a boundary dispute
between Texas and Oklahoma. The
question as to whether the land in con-
troversy was formed by accretion or
by avulslon would practically decide
the issue, and consequently extremely
detailed soif~ maps, profile maps Of

analyses of material were necessary
In order to determine the presence or

MEANS OF SPREADING 1T. B."
Several Causes Responsible for Preva-
Ience Of Dread Disease Among
Cattle Herds.

"How did tuberculosis get such a
hold In my herd?" is question that
has puzzled many a stockman. The
following causes have been found by
experts to be largely responsible for
the prevalence Of tuberculosis among
cattle:
Bringing untested cattle into the
herd.
Common drinking tank.
Common feeding troughs or pasture.
Nosing at fence lines or breaking
through fences.
Poorly ventilated barns or sheds.
Feeding Of unpasteurized milk from
infected cows to calves or hogs.
Unburned dead animals eaten or
scattered by hogs or dogs.
Breeding to infected bull or serving
cows outside tested herds.
There are other ways in which the
disease can be spread, but undoubted-
ly stockmen can do much to check
the inroads of this disease by reducing
to the minimum danger from the
sources mentioned.

letin 1901, just issued by the bureau
of agricultural economics, United
States Department of Agriculture. In
this new bulletin the author, #. Earl
Parsons, gives specific suggestions as
to the best methods of getting this
popular vegetable from the field to
the market.
BIG Gain Last Year.
A b0-cent gain in tomato shipments
In 1922, compared with movement Of
the previous year, shows the increas-
Ing demand for this product. Average
shipments have been less than 1900
cars per year, but during the past sea-
son 10000 cars were forwarded. In
view of the growth of this industry, 1t
is becoming increasingly important
that producers and shippers use only
the most approved methods Of har-
vestlng, packing, grading and loading,
which are described in Farmers Bull
letin 1901.
This publication points out that
there are three stages Of maturity at
which tomatoes may be picked, de
pending largely on the distance they
must travel before being placed on
sale Mature green tomatoes, or
"green-wraps," constitute the bulk Of
shipments from Florida and other
states in the southern tier. Pink to-
matoes, or those which are turning"
come chiefly from southern Illinois and
sometimes from Texas and Tennessee,
whereas ripe tomatoes go to nearby
markets In the southern sections and
comprise the bulk of shipments from
Missouri, Ohio and New Jersey.
The necessity for care in picking, in
field handling. in sorting and in pack
ing Is emphasized in this new bulletin.
The author says that "the interior
