To The People of Butts
County
To my regret I cannot meet with you in person to discuss cattle tick eradication.
I feel an obligation to &ate a part of my experience with the fever tick.
When I first came to Georgia in 1876 no scientific person had traced the source of
deadly cattle fever, that killed the registered cattle I brought to Georgia. A large per
cent of the bovines brought south by me died of cattle fever and the financial loss of all
pioneer introducers of improved cattle retarded the agricultural development of the south.
No one knew then that the house fly was the carrier of Typhoid fever, and the mosqui
to was responsible for malaria and Yellow Fever.
With our present information anv person may avoid loss of cattle by tick fever and
prevent unnecessary loss of human life from typhoid or other fevers.
This being the acknowledged, proven truth, the prevention of cattle fever, by the
eradication of fever disseminating ticks, becomes a que&iua of agricultural economy.
Butts county cannot afford to harbor diseases cattle and expedt to compete with
Jasper, Newton and Putnam, which are tick free counties. The margin of profit is too
small to throw away advantages in any agricultural or manufadturing pursuits. As to the
economy of tick eradication in Putnam county: lam in position to tftate that the total
annual expense to our county of the salaries, work and all were less even from be
ginning to the end, than the loss we had heretofore sustained, from the ravages of the
ticks. I know of no other movement that has accomplished as great benefits for the min
imum of outlay. Before we had eradicated ticks our home raised beef was far inferior to
the western beef; now I seek for my table, in preference the improved Putnam county rais
ed beef. I beg the opponents of tick eradication to think seriously the following statement:
Putnam county could not successfully maintain a Co-Operative, profit sharing
Creamery if we had not exterminated cattle ticks. No cow carrying ticks can compete
in butter yield with a tick free cow. No cow possessing a creditable butter record ever
was infected with ticks at the time of her
yield copiously, let me state that within the week, my cows tested for tiventy-four hours
gave as follows:
Ear tag 3 —36 pounds of milk, t —2.37 lbs. of butter.
Ear tag 41 —39 pounds of milk, 5.3 %, 2.067 lbs. fat, equal to 2.42 lbs. of butter.
I want to make it clear that tick infested cows will not yield profitably, and that
tick free cows will makd money for their owners. We have a county admirably adapted
to livestock industry, handicapped only by tick infestation.
I write of my own personal experience, because I am associated in the management
of a farmer-owned, successful creamery, and I am at the head of the credit society, which
loans money to farmers for productive agricultural purposes, at lower rates of interest than
any other American loaning company of which I have information l mention these
personal things to my neighbors of Butts county, because I want them to heed my state
ments, of which they may easily obtain outside corroborative proof. Please remember
I have no other motive than benefiting the people of Butts county. If you proceed to
eradicate ticks, every successful dairyman among you will become a competitor of the
dairy industry of my county. If you choose to continue tick burdened, you can never
diversify your agriculture successfully with livestock, nor can you really compete with
tick free counties. *
Those who have labored moSt to benefit the farming conditions of our southern
tick infested country, have been missionaries of the true gospel of agricultural regeneration.
The skeptics, doubters and opposers all finally become converted, after the county
has been freed of the disease carrying ticks. Progress surely will come, and opposition
but retards the work, increases the coSt, and refledls on the intelligence of the citizens
who oppose the benefits conferred by tick eradication.
Respectfully,
BENJAMIN W. HUNT.

Mrs. Lula G. 1 Smith was the
gracious hostess Tuesday evening
at a delightful rook party in hon
or of Miss Nannie Lou Clarke, of
Jackson. Several musical selec
tions rendered by Miss Nelle Mil
len on the piano, accompanied by
Miss Falma Funderburk with the
violin added pleasure to the even
ing. The house was artistically
decorated with cut flowers and
ferns and the color motif of pink
and white introduced in the ar
rangement was carried out in the
delicious ice course and cake ser
ved at the conclusion of the games.
Miss Clarke was beautifully
gowned in a lovely creation of
white taffeta with touches of blue
in the overdress, and Mrs. Smith
wore a becoming toilet of white
crepe.
The party was one of the pret
tiest Flovilla has had in some time
and those enjoying Mrs. Smith’s
hospitality count themselves for
tunate. The guests invited to
meet the honoree, a young lady
that is quite pretty has a very
attractive personality and has
won a host of friends since her
first visit here, were Misses Nelle
