State Veterinarian Will Go to

Dr. Butler, Who Sent His Reaigno
" tion to the Board of Agriculture
Laat Week Will Edit Mississippi
Paper Resolutions Passed by the
Board... i -
Dr. Talt' Butler, who , tendered his
resignation to the board of agricul
ture last week, will edit an agricul
tural paper at Starkvllle, Miss., The
Southern Farm Magazine.
It is a source of regret to the peo
ple of the whole state that he Is to
leave. Concerning him the board of
agriculture has the following to say:
. In the resignation of Dr. Tait But
ler,' state veterinarian and director of
farmers' institutes, we lose one of
our most valuable members of the
state department of agriculture. Ever
alert in the official discharge of his
duties he has won the confidence of
the members of the board of agricul
ture and has been a potent racior :n
placing our state department or agi?
culture in the commanding position
which It now occupies.
As state veterinarian he has dis
charged the duties of his ornce with
a faithfulness that deserves commen
dation. - By his wise and Judicious
administration in co-operation with
the United States department of agri
culture he has since 190., in the work
of cattle-tick eradication, removed
the quarantine line from the crest
of the Blue Ridge mountains east
ward, until now nearly half of our
state is out from under cattle quar
antine. In like manner and also in
co-operation with the federal depart
ment he has created an interest in
dairying in many parts of our state,
that will ultimately bring rich re
turns to those sections, and to the
state generally.
By his wise directorship of our
farmers' institutes and his knowledge
of ' the needs of our people he has
placed the farmers' institute work in
North Carolina in the front ranks of
the progressive states in institute
work. For this he has won for him'
self and for the state department of
agriculture the appreciation and grat
itude of the farmers of the stale.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the board of agr:
culture in accepting the resignation
of Dr. Butler do so with regret on
account of the keen appreciation they
'have of him as a citizen of the state
and also of his services in his several
capacities as one of our officers of tht
state department of agriculture.
Resolved, 2d, That the best wishes
of the members of this board will go
with him into his new field of labor
where we wish he may acquire ar
equal degree of success and distinc
'tion that he acquired In the work lit
.Is now giving up.
. Resolved 3d, That, a copy of this
report and resolutions be spread or
-our minutes and a copy of them fur-
nlshed to Dr. Butler.
Exit Johnson, Enter Brewer
