YnrrnwlECORD, MARSHALL'; NORTH CAROLINA WILL ERADICATE CATTLE TICK (Southern Cattlemen Organize to Conduct Active Campaign for More and Better Live Stock in the South. WILL IMPROVE THE BREEDS Cattto Tick the Greatest Hindrance to ; Stock Growing In South Peat Coats Over $100,000,000 Annually ! Prominent Men at Conven- tlon Discuss Best PI Tick Must Go. The Souther Cattlemen's associa tion was organized at Montgomery, Ala.. July 9, 1913. A hundred or more cattle growers and shippers, national land state live stock officials and rep resentatives of the stock yardB and Irailroad interests were present and 'took an active interest in the organ jlzalion of the association. : The avowed object of the associa tion are as follows: 1. Itick. The eradication of the cattle 2. The development of a profitable cattle Industry in the south. 3. The promotion of effective and uniform national and state live stock sanitary legislation. ,. The means which have been sug' Igested for the accomplishment of these objects are in part as follows: 1. The holding of meetings for the discussion of live stock problems and I the dissemination of live stock Infor mation. 2. The organization of local or county associations which will pro mote the work of tick eradication and the improvement of the cattle of the locality by the introduction of pure Ibred bulls. 3. By assisting the small jllve stock producer in marketing his products. It has been suggested that an active field agent may be employed by the association to assist local cattlemen In the attainment of these purposes. At Memphis, Tenn., on December 10th and 11th, 1913, the first regular meeting was held and a constitution land by-laws adopted fixing the an nual membership dues at $2.00 per an num. At that meeting a large num ber of cattlemen were In attendance from all the southern states, from Kentucky to Florida and from Vir ginia to New Mexico, and enthusiasm ran high. Every southern cattleman owes It as his duty to join this as sociation, and. bankers, professional men and merchants can well afford to give It encouragement and assist- pace. The Initial work of the assocla- Itlon will be directed toward the erad ication of the cattle tick. The -work will be carried on in co operation with the government, the cattle Growers associations of the Point Comfort 14th 337488 Grand Champion International Live Stock Exposition, 1913, Owned by W. J. Davis, Jackson, Miss. isouthern states, and many other or ganizations, together witn prominent Istock men and farmers of the south. Some of the things advocated at the convention are: 1. That the railroads put cheaper rates on breeding cattle. ' 2. That the government stop all jM Interstate shipment of tick-Infested ' .cattle. This includes cattle on the way to market for Immediate sJaugh ' ' . Iter as well as animals being need for stocking purposes. , ' ' ' I Resolutions were passed soliciting the co-operation of the oil mills of the south In building up the cattle Industry and suggesting to the bank iers of the south the importance of ' imaking cattle a basis of credit. '.Professor Holden, director of Ag ' ':' ricultural Extension Department of the International Harvester Company ' lot New Jersey, addressed the conven tion. He considered the organization ":'"! of the southern cattlemen the begin ning of successful live stock growing Jon a large scale and the opening gun ' for the intelligent diversification of i crops In the cotton belt He was very , "' enthusiastic in his remarks relative to the future of the south, and offered to assist the people In every way possible to carry out the objects of the association. . Officers elected are: D. S. Combs, Hickory Valley, Tenn i resident ' . . ' Dr. Tait Butler, Memphis, TeniL; i fretary. ' " The vice-presidents are: Dr. C. A. Cary, Alabama; McQueen V ' -'.- i, n .rUa; Dr. P. F. Ectasia Georgia; W. R. Moormaa, Kentucky; R. K. Roney, Louisiana; J. M. Max well, Mississippi; A. L. French, North Carolina; Z. T. Miller, Oklahoma; Dr. O. R. White, Tennessee; E. F. TllJ' man, Texas; S. D. Cross, South Caro- una; tt. v. Stewart, Virginia. A committe was appointed to work with the railroads for the purpose of securing better transportation rates on pure bred cattle for breeding pur; poses. An active campaign for members Is contemplated, and sufficient funds will be raised to employ a field agent to assist In organizing county associa tions and in otherwise promoting the work. Dr. Tait Butler, progressive farmer, Memphis, Tenn was appoint ed treasurer, and will receive con tributions to assist in developing a greater cattle Industry In the south. Every man in the south is expected to encourage and assist this organisa tion in its great work, especially every cattleman and business man. Representatives of the St Louis packers offered to assist the organisa tion In a substantial manner. D. 8. Combs, Hickory Valley, Tenn, President 8outhern Cattlemen's As sociation, Prominent Factor in Cattle Tick Fight GROW MORE CATTLE. Prominent Cattle Grower Urges Southern Farmers to Raise Cattle Conserve Soil Fertility, by Grow ing Grass and Feeding Cattle. By A. L. FRENCH, Prominent Cattle Grower, Cascade, Va. As our country grows older other problems besides securing the pres ent dollar thrust themselves upon the man who handles the eolL and to the thinking men of the south, soil con servation stands In a class by itself as our most pressing problem and practical means looking to this end demands from year to year an ever Increasing proportion of our thought The crop that is Indigenous to a country is not always the crop that continues to be held in the highest es teem by the leading thinking men of that section. For Instance, In the finest blue grass section of Indiana I know a leading live stock raiser and feeder who is discarding blue grass very largely for timothy, herds grass and sapling clover as pasture crops, because of the greater amount of feed the new pasture crops are pro ducing. So while the grass has not been much in evidence upon the farms over much of the south up to this time the change of sentiment that is everywhere present among our peo ple regarding the care of the soil leads us to believe that the matter will be: tried out In a large way during the next ten years. N Grow More Grass. And where the trial is Intelligently made grass will surely follow, for abundant rainfall, much sunshine, a fair quality of soil and lime makes grass growing. Wo have the rainfall and sunshine ever with us, the skele ton of a good soil is ours yet and a million or two tons of lime are within our borders awaiting our awakening.
