Union City, Ga., June 26. Ex¬
tensive campaigns for the eradica¬
tion of the cattle tick and hog
cholera and for the scientific build¬
ing of good loads in Georgia have
been inaugurated by the Georgia
Division of the Farmers’ Educa¬
tional and Co-operative Union.
Committees which were appoint¬
ed at the recent Fitzgerald con¬
vention, have in their reports asked
for state appropriations to com-
bat hog cholera and the oattletick.
The legislature is asked to appro-
priate from $5,000 to $10,000 for
the equipment of the State College
of Agriculture to fight hog cholera
while $5,000 per annum is asked
for the war on the cattle tick.
The building of good roads is
most strongly urged. The resolu¬
tion on good roads follows:
“Resolved, that the State Union
of Georgia express itself as Heart¬
ily in favor of good roads; that
these roads be built of the best
material available, in the most
economical, scientific manner, to
and from the most convenient and
desirable points for farmers, and
that the authorities in charge of
same in each and every county of
Georgia keep constantly before
them in the construction of such
roads the highest, broadest and
best development of the agricul¬
tural interest of our state.’’
The following is the resolution
for the eradiction of the cattle
tick:
TO FIGHT CATTLE DISEASE
"Whereas, it is recognized that
the common cattle tick (m'argaro-
pus annultatus) is the carrier of
of the disease called Texas fever
or tick fever of cattle, and said
tick is a source of constant loss
and a serious menace to the health
and thrift of all cattle in the state,
ii whereas, it has been dem-
onst< £that said cattle tick can
be Riled and eradicted by
simp! letbods and at compara-
tively small cost per militia dis¬
trict or countj;
C i And whereas, it has been found
that the funds now available for
control of contagious diseases of
cattle in Georgia is inadequate to
meet all requests for help in the
work of eradicating cattle ticks,
and beleiving that additional funds
for the encouragement and exten¬
sion of tick eradiction work will
greatly stimulate the cattle in¬
dustry of the state. Therefore be
it.
“Resolved, That we request the
incoming legislature to provide an
additional appropriation of $5,000
per year, to be used solely and
specifiically for eradiction of cat¬
tle ticks in the various counties,
under the direction of the
sioner of agriculture and the state
veterinarian; provided, that
fund be used only in such counties
or districts as will provide from
the county revenues an amount of
money equal to the amount applied
by the state in this work.
THE FITZGERALD LEADER. WEDNESDAY JUNE 18. 1911
“Be it further resolved, That
our senator and representatives in
the general assembly be requested'
to forward this matter in the leg¬
islature to the best of their ability
and that our delegates to the state
meeting at Fitzgerald present u
copy of this resolution to the stale
convention for adoption or action.
FIGHT ON HOG CHOLERA.
The resolution on the curbing
of the hog cholera:
“Whereas, the disease known a 1
hog loss of cholera is thousand causing an dollars annual j 1
many to
the farmers of the state of Geor
gia.
“And whereas, it has been found
a large share of this trouble
caQ p reven ^ ec | or cured by the
uge of the Dorset-Niles hog chcl
era serum, if this material could 1
be made available to the farmers ;
of the state at moderate cost ;
therefore be it.
“Resolved, That we earnestly
request the incoming legislature to
appropriate an amount, $5,000 ot j
$10,000, to the State College ot
Agriculture, to provide laborator¬
ies and material for producing this
hog cholera serum and distribu¬
ting the same to citizens of the
state at actual cost, under direc¬
tion of the commissioner of agri¬
culture and the president of state
college.
"Be it further resolved, That
our senator and representatives in
the general assembly be requested
to urge this matter iu the legisla¬
ture to the best of their ability;
and that our delegates to the state
meeting at Fitzgerald present a
copy of this resolution to the state
convention for adoption or action.
GOOD OF THE ORDER.
The committee on the good of
the order also submitted the fol¬
lowing resolution, which was
adopted;
“ We, your committee on good of
the order, beg leave to submit the
following suggestive report:
Realizing that all grand and
glorious undertakings that have
accomplished anything for the bet¬
terment of humanity have been
done so under the enemy’s lire, and
that those in white array are the
ones who came through great
tribulation.
We need not expect to be free
from errors and criticisms, We
must profit by our mistakes. Re¬
membering that we rise to higher
things upon the stepping stones of
our own dear selves. Therefore,
when we find the friction greater
to accomplish every toil we must
lubricate the beating with pru¬
dence and preservance oil, always
remembering that forbearance is
a virtue and intolerance a vice.
So let us be up and doing with
a heart for any fate. Realizing that
our purpose is the improvement
of the conditions of the people and
their educational, religious and
civic institutions.
So let us show to the world by
our actions, both individually and
collectively, that there is safety,
pleasure and profit in being affili¬
ated with the Farmers’ Education-
R^esvilts That Hemain
Are Appreciated By Fitzgerald People
Thousands who suffer from
backache and kidney complaint
have tried one remeay after anoth¬
er, finding only temporary benefit.
This is discouraging, but there is
one special kidney medicine that
cures permanently and there is
plenty of proof right here, in Fitz¬
gerald.
Here is the testimony of one
who used Doan’s Kidney Pills
years ago, and now states that the :
cure was lasting.
Alfred Kratz, 506 W. Magnolia
Street, Fitzgerald, Ga., says;
“You may continue to publish the
endorsement of Doan’s Kidney
Pills that I gave some years ago.
They are without doubt, the best
kidney remedy to be had. Since
I took them, I have had no re¬
currence of my former trouble.
At one time I suffered intensely
from lameness in my back and
pains across my kidneys. I was
in misery when I stooped and after
al and (do-operative Union of
America.
“Respectfully submitted,
(signed) “R L. Bodiford,
“Chairman, of Committee.”

Your horse will go hungry if
you lock his feed up in the crib.
Your crops will be hungry as lor.g
as their food remains locked up in
the soil, and it is locked up unless
the soil holds enough water to dis¬
solve it. —Raleigh (N. C.) Progres¬
sive Farmer.
Mr. Nalancey E. Fuller heads a
recent article about a Michigan
dairy farm, “Where Cleanliness is
Paramount.” That would be a)
good motto to hang on the waU ol
every dairy; for if there is one
place OQ the farm where deanli-
ness is paramount, that place is
certainly the dairy. Any lack of
cleanliness there means a lack of
quality iD produce.—Raleigh (N.
