6 Cattle Tick Quarantine Lifted by Uncle Sam in Many Southern Counties WASHINGTON.—The release of $2,171 square miles of quarantined area in the cattle-tick infested •tates of the south is made in a re vised quarantine order signed by Sec retary of Agriculture Meredith, which becomes effective December 1, 1920. Failure of county officials to co-operate with the United States department of agriculture in eradi cating the tick in their areas caused the requarantining of 7,971 square miles. Under the revised quaran tine there will be approximately 218,000 square miles held to be in fested. Areas Affected The effect of the new order is as follows: In Alabama the following coun ties and parts of counties are re leased from quarantine: Fayette, La mar and Washington: the remainder of Bibb. Calhoun, Cherokee, Cle burne. Houston and St. Clair; and a portion of Shelby. A portion of Jefferson county and a portion of Mobile county are requarantined. £• In Georgia the following counties ;are released'from quarantine: Baker. Ben Hill. Bleckley, Bulloch, Crisp, Decatur. Dodge, Dooly, Evans, Glas -iock, Laurens, Macon, Pulaski.

LEECH Editor of The Memphis Press MEMPHIS, Tenn.—Somebody once ealled cotton “The fabric of civiliza tion.” The title was appropriate— and because cotton is so vital to civ ilization, the south, in particular, and the world, in general, have for weeks been concerned over the most serious financial crisis In the cotton-growing •tates since the civil war. A few weeks ago the united cot ton people of the nation threw up their hands and yelled “Ruin.” For, right at the marketing season, cot ton started a sudden and sharp de cline that carried the price down to 50 per cent below the prevailing fig ure of planting time. Committees rushed to Washington and appealed for aid; stories of hold ing movements and gin burnings filled the telegraph wires. Northern manufacturers, who sell autos, shoes, pianos, pans and a million and one other articles in the south, suddenly saw one of the nation’s greatest markets menaced by financial de-> pression. The same men who rushed to Washington are today sorry they did so. Those who yelled “ruin” will now optimistically tell you that, in spite of a tremendous loss, the south will “come through safely,” and that the lesson it is learning will bear fruits in better financial and agricultural conditions in the fu ture. From Abject Pessimism to Optimism In short, the public feeling has apparently run from abject pes simism to optimism. As for the so-called night-riding and gin-burnings, they don’t exist. I have talked to scores of cotton men, in many southern cities, and I have yet to find a gin fire which was proven to be incendiary. In fact, cotton men cfaim the gin fires this year are not more numer ous than in other years. During the ginning season, and after months of dry weather, numerous gin fires are not unusual. The country should forget night riding—it exists only in the movies —but the country should study the The Tri-Weekly Journal’s FREE FRUIT COLLECTION 12 —Guaranteed, Pedigreed Plants —12 6 —Popular, Standard Varieties —5 FREE with ONE YEAR’S SUBSCRIPTION to The Atlanta Tri- Weekly Journal.

The existing quarantine of areas in the states of Arkansas, Florida, and Virginia and the territory of Porto Rico is continued. Good Progress Made The revised quarantine shows that work against the cattle tick general ly is progressing very successfully. Failure of local authorities, how ever, to co-operate with state and federal officials in “mopping up” their sections is responsible for many districts stilL being held un der quarantine which would other wise be released. It is expected, how ever. that by next year such co operation will be secured that a much more substantial area will be freed from quarantine. general cotton situation, for cotton is America’s greatest export crop; cotton furnishes employment to hundreds of thousands In the north, and the cotton section is one of America’s chief markets for manu factured products. Two Phases to Present Crisis There are two phases to the pres ent crisis. First, the growers say the 1920 crop cost 25 to 35 cents a pound to produce—and the present selling price is below cost. Second, more than 5,000,000 bales remain in warehouses from the crops of the last three years, on which millions of dollars have been loaned, and there is no market for this cotton. These 5,000,000 bales of “holdover cotton” represent that part of the crop which is of low quality—short fiber, stained and filled with trash —which American mills will not use. Germany, alone, used to take more than 1,000,000 bales of this yearly for rope, burlap and the heavy clothing of her peasants. With the German and other central Euro pean markets closed by war and inability to purchase because of lack of cash or credit, this cotton back ed up on the American market. Thus the south is trying to get rid of its old cotton and at the same time to secure a better price for its nejv cotton. The government early refused to handle the situation. The south then set to work for itself. Out of its difficulties have arisen a number of plans for export ’corporations, co operative marketing and changed ag ricultural conditions which, while they may not save this year’s crop, promise tremendous improvement in future years. Meanwhile, bankers, buyers and cotton factors declare from 60 to 75 per cent of the 1920 crop will be held for some months and then marketed slowly, and that the. south has the finances to carry out this program. They also expect a grad ual rise in raw cotton prices and a steadily improving financial situa tion. ' THIS PICTURE SHOWS A DRAINAGE DITCH CUT WITH DYNAMITE ON THE FARM of Hugh Richardson, Pace’s Ferry road, during the recent National Drainage congress held in Atlanta. The ditch is more than 1,000 feet long and wad laid open with one explosion. It is claimed that the cost was about one-third of what it would have be6n if cut with shovels in the usual manner. ’W?," Y.:""*.=•• " I 1 a W <..

Southern farming has employed too great a proportion of man or hand labor. A greater proportion of our lands should be given over to the production of for age and feed which can be utilized or marketed to best advantage as live stock. Through diversified farming we must correct the economic error of buying food and feed from other sections. The system .of farming followed in tjhe south has caused a constant deterioration of our soils. Farms on which live stock are kept increase in fertility and produce more profitable crops. Live stock raising in connection with southern agricul ture will build up and maintain soil fertility. Higher producing capacity and greater prosperity will result. An acre in the south will produce a greater volume of highly nutritious grazing over a longer period than in any other part of the country. We can produce grain feeds and we have a wide range of leguminous * crops with large yields, ideal for forage. We also have cotton seed and pea nut meal and cake at our doors. Live stock markets have been de veloped and packing houses in the south have capacity for 70 per cent more meat animals than are being produced. Southern farmers should take full advantage of their oppor tunities for profitable live stock pro duction. U. S. FARMERS LOSE HEAVILY IN DISTRIBUTION The cry about giving the farmer a square deal has dinned our ears for a long time, says “Uncle Dudley,” in the Boston Globe. So far, how ever, especially in New England, he has received more advice than help. His labor problems are discussed by the public—and forgotten; his high expenses fail to paste themselves in the ledger of public attention. So he stands, embattled behind his col lapsed fences, waging difficult con flict with the inexorable laws of eco nomics. To a large degree, the local situa tion is symptomatic of the country. And it is exactly this which has finally induced the man at the plow to recall a suggestion of school days. “If you would have a thing well done, you’must do it yourself,” re marks Myles Standish in the reader about the eighth grade. The farmer is turning to himself for the solu tion. From the great wheat belt of America there assembled in Chicago a conference. It was of farmers. It took one highly important step: Four committees were ordered to investi gate the co-operative agricultural movement in the United States and abroad. The purpose is to effect a co-operative national organization to market products and to purchase sup plies. A Wasteful System This may easily prove the most significant step American farmers have taken since the beginning of their troubles. For it may not only constitute an agency tending to sta bilize markets and thus protect agri culturalists from hazardous fluctu ations, but it may also be a blow aimed directly at the casual specu lator in the necessaries of life. Thus would it win for the farmer the ap probation of his partner, the con sumer. Our system of distribution is no toriously wasteful. Tons of vegeta bles were allowed to rot in Nev.- Jersey recently because of faulty marketing arrangements. Yet, across the river, a few miles away, Dv the largest metropolis in the world, with nearly six million mouths to feed thrice daily. In the west, says a news dispatch, thousands of bush els of onions are being plowed under because of prohibitive transporta tion and uncertain market. The co operative movement could remedy this. For no political party,-no busi ness in the country, could afford to disregard the voice of such an or ganization. The four farmers’ committees will discuss some interesting things in their investigation. In California the co-operatve agriculture move ment has neached a stage where it amazes travelers from New England. There is no end to the co-operative storage plants, growing associations and marketing agencies. The Co-operatives of France Most of this country, however, they will find practically virgin soil for a large scale of co-operative ag ricultural movement. America is al most alone in the world in this. England has agricultural co-opera tives of tremendous importance. They have spread all over the isles. It was against co-operative cream eries, the other day, that reprisals were directed in Ireland. It is in France, however, that the New England farmer will find an analogy worth his pondering. For not by any means does the co-oper ative apply only to large scale farm ing. In the land of Jacques and Pierre it is,applied to six-acre farms with prodigious success. There the co-operative owns all the implements of the profession in each society. Modern machinery, such as the peas ant cannot afford himself, through the society, becomes his servant. And an equipment of machinery suf fices for an entire community of farms. The organization does the market ing and the purchasing. Fertilizer problems are brought to the mat not only by individual farmers, but by powerful and well financed organisa tions—and solved. So are other problems. The farmer loses none of his independence. New Judging Test To Feature N. C. Meet Something new in the way of a swine-judging contest is to be held at the North Carolina State Live stock meeting in Salisbury, Decem ber 8-10. W. W. Shay, president of the N. C. Swins Breederes’ associa tion, has arranged for it as part of the swine extension exhibit. Hogs without heads —in outline — of five age classes from junior pigs to aged boars, of five breeds of hogs will be exhibited with nothing but numbers to distinguish them. Prizes amounting to SSO will be given for correct placing as to breed. If more than one the money will be divided equally among the winners. The outlines are true photographic reproductions of champions, and first prize winners, about two-thirds life size. You simply tell the breed. The contest is .open to members in good standing of the North Caro lina Swins Breeders’ association. If you are in arrears pay the sec retary. Dan T. Gray, and enter contest. N. C. Cheesemakers Win Honors at Chicago North Carolina cheesemakers came back from the National Dairy show at Chicago this year with a silver MANY FARMERS ARE NOW MAKING SORGHUM SIRUP Before the war the farmers of the United States produced 13,000,000 gallons of sorghum syrup annually. The shortage of commercial sugar and its high prices during and since the war brought the sorghum syrup production up to more than 36,000,- 000 gallons a year. A large acreage of sweet sorghum is grown com mercially, but the marked increase in sorghum syrup production is not entirely confined to the ’ large growers. A great many farmers are following the suggestion of the United States department of agri culture and are growing small patches of sweet sorghum to sup ply their own requirements. It is time to plan for next year’s sor ghum crop, especially with reference to the selection of the ground, its preparation, the source of seed and the procuring of the syrup-making equipment. Sorghum can be grown in every state in the union, with the possi ble exception of Maine. No other sugar substitute can be produced over such a wide area. The depart ment recommends that a short-sea son variety, maturing in from 70 to 90 days, be, used in the northern states. The sorghum producer must have a crushing mill to extract the juice from the stalks and a pan to boil the sap. The equipment is not expensive and the business offers co-operative advantages where sev eral farmers wish to grow sweet sorghum. It would be advisable for prospective sorghum-syrup makers not already provided with the neces sary equipment to get in touch with one or more manufacturers or deal ers in these outfits in order to have everything ready for next year’s crop of syrup sorghum. The sweet sorghum containing 10 to 20 per cent sugar is grown for syrup and never the grain sorghums, which contain much less sugar. The sugar does not readily crystallize out when the sorghum juice is boil ed down to the point where a gal lon of syrup weighs 11 pounds and contains 7 or 8 pounds of sugar, which is approximately the standard weight and content of a gallon of syrup. In growing sorghum for syrup ev ery effort should be made to get pure, sweet sorghum seed. Every year complaints are received which indicate that some of the seed pur chased for sweet sorghum produc tion contained seed of broom corn or other non-syrup making plant. Some growers avoid this mistake by saving their own seed from the best plants growing in their own sorghum patch or field. Only well-formed heads produced on typical well-de veloped stalks should be selected for seed. The selections should be made when the seed is in the firm dough stage or entirely ripe. When the seed is in the dough stage the stalks are in proper condition for syrup making, but greater care is necessary in ordei’ to keep the seed from heat ing or molding. The heads should be placed loosely on shelves or rackg where the dry air can circulate through them. When dry remove the seed from the heads and keep in a warm, dry place free from mice or weevil. Poison Bait Called Good Remedy for Destructive Cutworm Cutworms are the almost hairless caterpillars of several species of moths. The eggs are laid mostly on grass in heavy spd land The larvae feed on the grasses. Conse quently, on land which has had con siderable grass, cutworms are most troublesome. When such land is plowed the natural food of the cater pillars is cut off and they are forced to concentrate on the plants that are set out later. They are especially troublesome to such crops as cab bage and beets. The cut surface of the plant on which they feed is so small that it I is impractical to attempt to poison : them by direct application of the ■ poison to the plants attacked. They | are best combated by means of the ; poisoned bait, a good one being: Bran, twenty pounds; cottonseed meal, five pounds; paris green, one pound. Thoroughly mix these while dry and then add two and a haU gallons water and two quarts of syrup. The mixture should be thorough!' damp but not sloppy so that it wil fall in fine flakes when sown broad wist over the ground. Prof. J. R Watson, of the Florida experimen station, recommends this remed and says that it should be put ou after sunset so that it will remai: moist all night. If sown properly i: will fall in small flakes that will no be dangerous to fowls and game.

Live Stock Meet At Salisbury Will Observe ‘Dairy Day’ December 9 will be “Dairy Day” at the State Livestock Meeting, Salis bury, N. C., according to an advance announcement of the program given out by’ J. A. Arey, secretary-treasur er of the N. C. Dairymen's associa tion. The list of speakers includes L. P. Bailey from Ohio, one of the pioneer breeders of dairy cattle; Dr. Tait Butler of the Progressive Farmer, and C. S. Plumb, former professor of animal husbandry at Ohio State University. Dr. C. V. McCullum, of Johns Hop kins University, will speak on the “Value of Diary Products in the Hu man Diet.” He is noted as the dis coverer of “vitamines” and his ex periments are said to have revolu tionized the study of foods, both in America and Europe, and to have had far-reaching effects in relation to the health of the nation, especial ly that of children. Educational exhibits will be dis played illustrating the food value of dairy products and their necessity of the young. The present average dallv consumption of dairy products in the United States is a little less than a pint of milk, 2-3 oz. of butter, 1-6 oz. of cheese, and 3-4 oz. of Ice cream per person. It should be one quart of milk, 2 oz. butter, 1 pz. cheese, and 2 oz. ice cream Dr. Mc- Cullum will tell why more dairy products should be used. Another exhibit will show the ad vantage derived from co-operative breeding association. At the evening meeting this will be discuss ed bv Professor Plumb. The Rowan County Co-operative Guernsey Bull association is one of the largest in the south, so an opportunity t< study the actual working of an asso ciatlon will be afforded in addition to Professor Plumb’s address., Mov ing pictures conclude the day s pro gram. Abandoned Farms Increase in Ohio There was a net decrease of 60,- 000 in the number of men and boys over 15 years of age working on Ohio farms for the year ending in June this year, according to a sur vey made under the direction of Secretary of Agriculture N. B. Shaw, by W. F. Callander, agri cultural statistician for the United States bureau of crop estimates and the state bureau of agricultural statistics. The survey covered from 100 to 300 farms in every county in the state, selected at random. The report further shows that for every man who returned to farm life during the year, seven left the farm for other employment. Based on the returns received, it is es timated that there are now about 410,000 men and boys actually working on farms, compared to 470,000 a year ago, and approxi mately 500,000 three years ago. Os this number 70,000 were report ed to be hired for wages this year, compared to nearly 100,900 a year ago, showing that about half of those who quit farming during the year were hired men. The survey also shows an esti mated total of 29,000 vacant habit able houses on farms this year, compared to 18,000 a year pre vious. That part of the report cov ering the number of abandoned farms has not yet been tabulated. The investigation also shows that of the total number of farms in the state which changed hands last year, 80 per cent were purchased by actual farmers who are living on them, while only 2o per cent were purchased for speculation or by men who purchased them to rent to others. The bulk of the farms sold were purchased by native Americans, except in the northeast counties, where the purchase of many farms by persons of foreign birth is reported. Fotato Shrinkage “Shrinkage" in bulk carloads of po tatoes averages 3 per cent, accord ing to a survey of marketing condi tions made by the United S/ates department of agriculture. This amounts to 1,200 pounds per carload. The “shrinkage” is less where pota toes are sacked, as this reduces pil fering and rough handling to “the minimum.

CREEK CHANNEL CHANGED WITH USE OF DYNAMITE One of the most Interesting fea tures of the recent National Drain age Congress held in Atlanta was a demonstration of the use of dyna mite for cutting ditches. The dem onstration was made on the farm of Hugh Richardson, on Pace’s Ferry road. W. B. Alford, agricultural representative of the E. I. DuPont- DeNemours Powder company, was in charge of the explosives, while Knox T. Thomas, consulting engineer of Atlanta, was in charge of the en gineering details of the work. A strip of bottom land on Wolf creek was selected for the demon stration. At that point the natural channel of the creek winds around low foothills in a very crooked and circuitous route, so that the channel is overloaded in tfrnes of freshet, and the creek overflows and inun dates the bottom land. The object of the demonstration was to cut a straight ditch across the bottom and throw the creek into the ditch so as to cut off the detour around the foot hills. The soil through which the ditcb was run was .sandy loam washed down from the hills. Holes were put dowo with punch-bar and soil augur Dynamite was placed three feet deep with the holes sixteen inches apart. Three test shots were made as a preliminary, then the whole string of holes were linked together with one electric wire fired simulta neously, so that the entire ditch was laid open by one explosion. In less than fifteen minytes a ditch 1,011 feet long had been fully and cleanly cut, with a perfect down grade for a flow of water, and Wolf creek sud denly found itself out of its age-old channel in a new, straight shoot to its confluence with Nancy’s reek. Mr. Thomas vouches for the fol lowing cost figures on the whole op eration: Dynamites227.so Detonators .50 Unskilled labor 12.00 Supervision 10.00 Totals2so.oo He figured the cubic yardage re moved at 1,096; the cost of dyna mite per cubic yard at 20 3-4 cents; the total cost at 22.8 cents per cubic yard. “This yardage,” he states, “was moved, at approximately one-third the cost of shovel ditching. A per fect grade was maintained through the entire length of the ditch, with out any additional work. All of the drainage ditches with which I am familiar could use . dynamite to ad vantage for cutting lateral ditches. The common practice is to cut the main ditch With a dredge, but often the lateral ditches are not cut, and complete drainage is not secured.” Louisiana Sugar Crop The condition of the sugar cane crop in Louisiana on November 1 is estimated at >1 per cent of a normal as compared with a 9-year average on that date of 78.3 per cen% and a condition of 72 per cent on October 1, 1920. A condition of 71 per cent on No vember 1, considered, with the esti mated acreage of cane to be cut for sugar (194,800 acres), forecasts a probable sugar production of 362,- 743,000 pounds. The production in 1919 was 242,000,000 pounds, and in 1918, 561,800,000 pounds of sugar. Potash arriving al an American factory ' 5 f . Plenty of Potash K AFTER five years of Potash . famine there is now plenty of Potash to be had at prices that will permit it to be used at a good profit. When Potash in mixed fertil izers was sold at five dollars per unit, everybody exclaimed that the price w»i ” prohibitive. ” This was a state of mind. As a matter of fact, when the records of long continued experiments, east, south, and west, were care fully gone over it was found that there were plenty of cases where the crop increase from the use of Potash on corn, wheat, oats, cotton, tobacco, potatoes, vege tables and fruit returned over five dollars per unit, even valuing the crops at prices current before 1914. Now prices of Potash are less than one-half of these "prohibi tive prices,’’ and prices of farm products are still high enough to make the purchase of the five to ten per cent Potash fertilizers a very profitable investment when yields alone are considered But this is not all. The shipping ind keeping quality of many of jur truck, fruit and special crops las suffered from lack of Potash. Plant diseases have increased or the same reason. Our best lands have been over worked to the limit and need estoration.

(Iroonville. Pa. ity before the Potash famine upset things. Indeed this is put ting the case mildly, for provision should be made not only to re store the old high Potash formu las, but to use additional Potash to restore the drain on the soil during the past five years. We never advised the use of Potash on soils where we had reason to believe it would not prove profitable, and never shall do so. There is not a single crop on which Potash has not been found profitable on Many types of soil. In the readjustment period when farmers must use every means to assure success it is of utmost importance that they should not be turned aside in their efforts* to buy fertilizers with a reasonable (five to ten) per cent, of Potash. Potash Pays and as ter five years of Potash f am ine it will pay better than ever. It takes time to produce and ship Potash and large stocks art not carried at Potash works. Therefore it is imperative that you notify your dealer at once what brands of fertilizer you will require and that you should not be induced to change your order on any claim that the right kind of goods cannot be secured. Stick to it and you can get what you know you want. SOIL AND CROP SERVICE POTASH SYNDICATE H. A HUSTON. Manager 42 Broadway New York
