if VOL. 22. OXFORD, N. C, FRIDAY JULY 15, 1910. 42 Fry?. .. HOW TO GET Ri OF THE CAT TLE TICK. The Effects of The Quarantine Re strictions Imposed cr. the South Because of the Presence of the Cattle Tick. Probably the majority of Southern pec pie do not k::ow that there is a quarantine placed en ail cattle lb t.h? tick-infested area, by the United States Government,, and probably a majority cf those who do not know o. the existaaee of this quarantine do not believe or realize that it effects every cattle owner in thit- South. A line has been drawn across the country from the Atlantic to" the Pa cific Ocean; a 151 territory south of this line is supposed to be more or lei's infested with the Southern' cat tle fever tick. Cattle may cross this line from the south, only when shipped by rail or boat to certain large markets in the North and only to these under rather rigid restrieirions. For instance animals going north of iliis line during the greater part of the year must go to the large markets where the Government has inspectors and other facilities for (handling them, and must be slaught ered at once. In other words, cattle can not be shipped from the south to go into Northern dairies, into Northern feed lets, cr on Northern pastures, except for a short time during the winter, and even this privilege is not extended to our cat tle by -some Northern States and will probably be withdrawn by all in the rear future. What the Quarantine Line Means to Us. Under certain conditions, one of which is That the cattle be shipped iin a f-peciiied manner and inspected by a Federal officer. Some States will accept cur cattle for other than im mediate slaughter; but comparritive y speaking, practically all the cattle shipped from thife part of the tick infested area go to the large mar kets and are slaughtered at once. But this is criy cne cf the restric tions which are put on cur cattle. They must when shipped north, of the quarantine line, go to a seperate part of the stcck yards set aside for cat tle from the tick-infested area. To make certain that these cattle will go to "the quarantine pens" the laws require the railroads to mark ersch waybill and each car carrying Southern cattle across the quaran tine line, showing that the cattle are from the quarantine area. The cost of maiintainir.g seperate yards, the marking of cars and the disinfecting of these cars before they can be used for cthe purposes constitutes- char ge? which the Southern cattle shipper must pay, and if any one doubts that we pay them he has only to compare the freight rates charged by the railroads in the South with the rates charged by Northern roads. Eut the most' important fact con nected with the requirement that Southern cattle must be slaughtered at once, if they go north of the quarantine line is, that the buyers, knowing that our cattle can not go into Northern pastures, nor into Northern feed lets, but must be sl-ai;ghtered at on.ee or be shipped back heme, buy these cattle for from l-4c. to l-'2c. a pound less than they pay for the same quality of cattle on which there are no restrictions. What the Loss in Value Amounts to. 'robabljy most Southern cattle owners are laboring under the false j impression that this depreciation of the price of our cattle in the North ern markets is not a serious matter, because we do rot ship many cattle. The fallacy cf thi.s can not fail of recognition by any one who yill give it a moment's serious' thought. The prices of cattle are fixed in the 1arge cattle markets. Where are these markets? Tho-e wh;Vh regulate the prices of cattle in this country are all north of the tick quarantine Fine, j It is apparaut, then, that cattle are! worth in Mississippi, for instance. ! just what they are worth in St. ; Loiu,5, li'rss what it costs to ship j them from Mi-s's'ppi to St. Louis., ; That this holds good on all cattle! sold in the South is appare nt, for if j .it were not so, then cattle traders I would ship them ct the place which j offered the higher prire. It. there- fore, follows that every animal sold ' in the South, whether by one farmer to another, or to a local butcher, j or to the cattle shipper, sells for a lower price because of this quaran-: tine I'tme. The placing of any sort of restrV tion on the marketing! of any product depresses the price. The loss from this one effect on the quarantine on Southern cattle is probably snot less than $1,500,000 annually to the cat tle owners1 of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgfla. Could Eradicate Ticks for Less Tham They Cost in Five Years. Those living some distance from the quarantine ldjne can not be imade to realize these facts, but those liv ing along the quarantine line need not be told of the injury sustained from the restrictiioai placed on the marketing of their cattle. In these cases it is mot at all rare for cattle of the same quality to sell for from $5 to $10 a head less just below the line than a few miles away in the free area. This is one form of the tremen dous tribute which we pay annually to the cattle tick. These ticks1 couk in five jears, be completely eradicat ed for less money than the ina posing of this quarantine line causes the South durfeg that time, and yet, be cause of our indifference (we use the term indifference because it sounds a little more polite (than stupidity) we go on, year after year, submit ting to these heavy losses when, St has been proven beyond doubt that jit is easy, pacticable and porifabKe R.

They have the prayers and sympathy of a large number of friends and reiati.ives. Mr. J. F. Royster, of Oxford was ont at the home of Mr. Oarington on Route 3, a few days ago to doctor a sick horse. Mr. Holeman and Mr. Jones, with the convict crowd are located near the Gold Mine oni Route 3 and are putting down macadam on the new road near there. The crops on every Route have greatly improved in the last ten days, where they have been worked. In many places the crops have not been well worked and you can tell it at a glance. Some farmers ought never to live on a public road, but ought to be back where there would be no paths for people to come that way. Miss Dollie Harton. who has been visiting Miss Madie Hicks on Route 5, has returned to her home in Rich mond. Our friend Mr. H. E.

Yet there are people who call, themselves intelli gent, who pretend to beltHeve that tJhe ticks can not be eradicated., or op pose permitting the National and the State Government helping us to do it. This? alone ijs sufficient reason why we shouljd eradicate the cattle tick, and if there was no other reason, or if the ticks did us no other! harm than impose this quarantine on us, it would pay to eradiioatei them ; but next week we shall discuss another equally good reason foir doitng the work.

Black-Root or Cotton Wilt. 1 A correspondent in Russell Co., I Alia., makes inquiry about means of I checking the serious cotton disease, black-root or cotton wilt, which is very common in certain sections in the southern parts of South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. I regret to state that there is no application whatsoever, either of kainit or of any other fertiliser or of any poison, that will be of the slightest heap in decaying the spread of black-root in cotton.

One place where the, South suffers greatly as compared with the West j is in its poorer railroad facilities. I Our whole railroad problem; has been I handled in a haphazard and unscien j tific fashon. Sometimes' we have let j the railroads iimpese upon the peo- pie outrageously; sometimes we have risen up in anger, striking in blind fury, with more or less help and hurt, but the people have seldom had sufficient information to act with wisdom, and cur public men have been, too often either hirelings of the railroads or demagogues more anxious to strike than to strike wisely. For our Railroad Commis sions men have been chosen with little regard to their particular fit ness seldom men who haave made and deep any profound study of the vital subject writh which it is their high duty of grapplle. Just here Wisconsin has set a most worthy example for other States not only in the South, but all over the United States, For years and year Wisconsin: had the, usual struggle be tween the railroads and the People the railroads exercising a most bane ful influence on politics, the Repub lican machine in the state being in their control unttil La FoUette led his successful insurrection! some sev en or eight years ago. Then followed some more or less blundering attem pts to make the railroads give the people a square deal and pay their share of the taxes, but so long as the settlement was left merely to politicians, the results were never satisfactory. Then Wisconsin did an unheard-of thing. In the University of Wiscon sin was a proffessor of enconomies, a big, square, honest man of scien tific training w!ho Shad the confidence of the people as a just man. and whom the railroads were also will inng at that titme to accept, knowing that he could be depended upon to deal w.iith them intelligently and fairl: which wras more than they could expect of the politiciluas. Accordingly this trained student who had taken no conspicuous part in politics, was put on the Railroad commission) and has beeooie its lead ing spirit. He has made the rail roads do right by the people, but he has not hounded them through pre judiced, nor infuriated them by actions based on ignorance. The peo ple trust him and the railroads re spect him, and there is better feel ing between people and railroad lea ders than ever before. The whole problem of transporta taticn as .now one of the most intri cate and difficult with which the American people have to deal, and every State meeds meihf like Wisconsin Railroad Commissioner trained stu dents of enconomies who have mas tered the subject of transportation and will not go to the's- offices me rely as bi'nd leaders of the blind. Be sides this "scholar in politics" on the Railroad Commission, there is a lawyer capable of interpreting all third member is a statistician of note. Think how much better it is for all the interests cf the State that the commission be composed of three sucii men an expert student of the subject of transportation, a lawyer capaleb of interpreting all laws im the proper way, and a statis tician instead of having a Commis sion composed of three politicians put Ira because of "service to the party " and geographical location. This Wisconsin Commission deals net only with railroads, but gas, water, and electric railway companies My understanding is that theSta te is getting; mare taxes from all these corporations than ever before but because at is levied by trained mem, and not in amy wiild, unscientific fashiifcn, the railroads themselves have become convinced of the wis dom of the new Policy.

The many lad'ies who heard Mrs. Hutt's talk before the Village Improv meutSccie-ty, and its friends, will be interested in this report, taken from the Christian Science Monitor, of her talk ciii Domestic Science before the National Educational Association in Eoston-.M ass. at its closing sesicu. They will also be pleased to know that it is hoped Mrs. Hutt wiiU come here again in the near future prepar ed to give another talk with demon strations. "The Education: cf Women for horn making" was the subject of Mrs. W. Hutt, Raleigh, N. C. who spake in part as follows. "There are two words in the English language that it ils absolutely im possible to dissociate, 'woman and holme.' Consider the one and you are invariably led to think of the other. Home is the oldest and grand ! est institution; it was a woman's hand that first farmed it. From the glimmering dawn of aantiquity to this modern day it is about her that it has grown, and developed. "The heme is the unit of the na-; nation; whatever exaleth woman ex alteth the nation. The position of any -nation in the scale of civilization can be accurately judged by the en lightement of its women. Since the home, with woman as its center, is the bed-rock of our wholfe social fa- j brie, can there be any education mor. j important than the education of worn j for home mak'ing?'" Mrs. Hutt traced the course of j woman's educational evolution from the earliest tikne to the modern day, emphasizing eepecially that of a gen era'tion ago and contrasting it with woman's place in the world today. Education for home-making today, she said, should be suited to mod ern, woman's needs and it should be gin with the child in its tendei'est years. There should be the trend toward homsmaking while they have the home influences about them and are most receptive. The training of the. child should be im the line of de velopment and not repression. The school training for home-making should begin in the grades, for the majority of girls never get to high school and college. It has been, found from experience that chiiidren in pub lic schools make rapid progress m the learning of home economics. Suet education should be continued and expanded and deepened in high school and college. One of the' greatest defects of the schools of a generation) ago was) that they sought to teach the cultural! sub jects and to turn, out ladies and gentlemen. Now-a-days there is no place for dilettantes and trifles and the worlld is knocking at the doors of our schools and colleges and asking for men and wojmen. 4 There is no. les call today for the lady and the gent leman but these, Hike the poets, are born, not made. They are the pro duct of the home and not of the school). Culture cam be as readily and surely acquired from a lesson in cooking or textiles as from one n music literature or art. Mrs. Hutt then declared that im standing for practical education for women she had no quarrel with cul tural subjects. "However," she said, "let at be the culture that makes woman useful to society and not a parasite upon t. Let us have all these purely cultural subjects for which the girl has time, but let KEEP UP TKE FfGHT AGAINST HOUSE FLJES.
