t VOLUME Mil MORE GEORGIA CATTLE Cattle Raising in Georgia Toms on Revolutionized Conditions. COMBINATION BREED NEEDED Dr. £ M. Knight Expert of The Unites States Bureau ot Animal Industry Talks of Cattle Raising in This State. Atlanta, G,i .—.“Live stock raising in Georgia, ’ declared Dr. E. M. Knight, expert of the United States bureau ot animal industry, "is im¬ possible under existing conditions. Changes of the most revolutionary na ture must he effected before this great industry becomes the asset indicated by Georgia’s natural advantages.’’ For ten years Dr. Knight has been in the government service, assigned to that broad southern territory lying between the Mississippi river and the Atlantic ocean. By education ana spe¬ cific training he is thoroughly equip¬ ped to discuss the subject, of cattle breeding and raising with a note of final authority. He passed through Atlanta, and was induced to talk up¬ on lines calculated to appeal to every enterprising farmer in the state. "The primary and indispensable premise to cattle-raising in Georgia," declared Dr. Knight, “is the absolute repeal or radical modification of the so-called ‘no fence’ law. It is impossi¬ ble to build up a cattle industry on the open range. “Absence of fences means that your pure-bred strains may he contaminat¬ ed by the scrub stock of your neigh¬ bor, or vice versa. “The expense of this innovation is smaller than you would imagine. For instance, old pine trees make the best sort of fence posts when treated with creosote. Under these conditions they will last twenty years. A bulle¬ tin of the department of agriculture describes the process. “Not more than 50 per cent of the men owning farm lands in Georgia live upon it. We have to deal with this problem of absentee landlordism, and it is to the distinct money inter¬ est of these landlords to undertake the expense of fencing in ranges in Georgia and of otherwise encouraging the development of the industry on the part of croppers and renters. . “Under existing conditions, the land¬ lord depends almost wholly upon the one crop of cot tun for his rent. If he will co-operate to the end of supple¬ menting cotton with cattle, and, in reality, the two go hand in hand, he will be patriotically upbuilding the country and at the same time swell¬ ing his own dividends." Dr. Knight went on to show that the average of four cattle to the farm, in Georgia, were, as a rule, scrub breeds, worthless for beef purposes, not lending themselves profitably to fattening for the market and not even remunerative as butgar and milk pro¬ ducers. “The Ideal plaD,” he said, “is to cre¬ ate a combination breed which can be utilized both for dairy and beef pur¬ poses. The only field in which the Jersey can be used to advantage is in that of the dairy or creamery. For general dairy purposes, the scrub cows of Georgia, crossed with registered beef bulls, will produce a breed that will respond quickly and profitably to fattenlmg avid make an ideal mar¬ ket cattle. ‘‘Local cattle clubs,” said Dr. Knight, •contain the solution of the problem —that is, from the standpoint of im¬ mediate results possible under pres¬ ent conditions. A short horn bull, a red Devon, a Shack poll or a Hereford can be bought by a group of farmers for from $50 to $150. “If each farmer owning an interest in the animal will make it his busi¬ ness to patronize it reguarly, using his native cows as dams, we shall soon be on tiie highway to the woric ing out of the problem. It is im¬ practical to import into Georgia or any other state a new breed of cattle in toto. The more feasible program is to breed registered bulls of the varieties I have described to native cows. In this way we shall secure a product accustomed to its environ ment and calculated to thrive under it.v 1 Dr. Knight stated that under a plan contemplatin: the widespread’lo cal clubs, the members of all of them co-operating in earnest and particu¬ larly in the respect of fencing in the farms, the cattle industry in Georgia Would attain paying proportions with¬ in about four years. "The offspring from the registered bull and the native cow would be ready for breeding purposes in two years," said Dr. Knight. “And its off¬ spring, in turn, would be grading cat¬ tle, fit for beef purposes, responding readily to fattening and equally as available from a dairy standpoint. “in Montana," continued Dr. Knight, emphasizing the financial value of good beef breeds, “ a steer will bring $25 miles from a railroad, with few or no rail facilities. In Georgia, with ample rail facilities, the sort of scrub breeds we raise are worth from $7 to *8. I can think of no more condu¬ cive illustration of the importance of specific breeds of beef cattle.” Dr. Knight was particularly em phatic in drawing attention to the raenace of the cattle tick fever. “The only way to eradicate farms’and it ” he Raid ‘is to fence in the rotate crops “Eradicating is gradually going h,?. g on in wVk several Georgia Sfowra^ counties dfscouraUg! ta mher because of lack of interest on part of farmers. One of the most impressive argu ments made by Dr. Knight for the development of cattle raising m Geor gia is that it would redeem Uie state, the south, for that matter, %om the pe 5Ji, of a 0Ce<:r( ‘P country. ’ l he country t with but one money cr °b' ile weat cn ’ fouled u Pon a shifting . and uncertain basis of pros Pc-nty.

An official call for the fifth reun¬ ion of the Roosevelt Rough Riders at New York from June 16 to 20 was issued at Oklahoma City, Okla. The chief object of the reunion Is to wel¬ come Colonel Roosevelt home. Revised estimates of the aggregate cost of the Philadelphia trolley strike to all those interests involved place it at $12,200,000. The greater burden of the loss fell on the business com munitv, which is estimated to have suffered in the loss of trade and in other ways to the extent of $ 8 , 000 , 000 . The cost to the strikers, including those who went out on sympathetic strike, was $3,000,000, while the di rect loss to the Rapid Transit com pany is figured at not less than $1,- 200,000. What is said to be the first light¬ house built lor airships has just been erected on the top of a small railroad building at Spandau, Germany, it consists of thirty-eight powerful elec¬ tric lamps, which shoot a glaring light skyward. Its purpose is to guide the dirgibles of the German army at night. Four thousand Philadelphia carmen v ho have been out on strike practi¬ cally two months have returned to work for the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company under the terms of an order issued by officials of the io cal union calling the strike to an end. The total exports of the Japanese empire for the first three quarters of 1909 show an increase over 1908 of $8,921,677, of which the principal items were rice, tea, refined sugar, camphor, raw silk, cotton yarn, straw and chip braids, cotton tissues and matches. Washington. Colonel W. F. Cody, who has en¬ deared himself to the youth of the land as “Buffalo Bill'’ and caused more truancy than all tho baseball games in history, has established his claim as a private in the army of the United States, and lias been granted a pension of $12 a month. The pen¬ sion office records show that William F. Cody, enlisted in the Seventh Kan¬ sas calvary February 19, 1864, and was honorably discharged September 29, 1865. Although It was generally known that splendid progress had been made by tbe army engineers in digging the Panama canal, the statement con¬ tained in the Canal Record just at hand comes as a surprise that all of the excavation that was contemplated in the original project lias been com¬ pleted. Under that plan, 103,795,000 cubic yards of material were to be removed and that has been done. But subsequently in order to accommo¬ date naval vessels ot the Dread naught type and the giant liners now under construction, the president or¬ dered the widening and deepening of the canal prism. That involved the removal of 70,871,594 additional yards of material. Little or no comment was to be obtained from congressional visitors at the white house on the coming re¬ tirements of Senator Aldrich and Hale. Speaker Cannon, who was an early visitor, was asked whether the retirement of tile two members of the "Old Guard" In the senate would have any Influence on him or other members of the house. He said he believed politics did not enter into their determination at all. For him self, the speaker after taking a fling »t “Muckrakers” declared he was go lng to live twenty-five years longer and have a good time while he was doing it. President Taft's office at the white house has been an artist's studio during the past week and official cal¬ lers have had the doubfe advantage of an interview with the chief executive of the nation and a glimpse of the sculptor’s art. Robert I. Aiken of New York has finished the clay mod el of a bust of the president, which is said to be destined either for the Metropolitan museum art in New York or the Concoran Art gallery in Washington. During the three months ending December 31, 1909, there were 1,099 persons killed and 22,491 persons in¬ jured on railroads, according to a bulletin Issued by the Interstate com¬ merce commission, This is an in crease of 301 killed and 5,645 injured, as compared with the previous year. On electric lines 26 were killed and 642 injured. The accidents on steam roads numbered 3,206.

The senate passed the house bill authorizing the use for Joint maneu vers by the states of a portion of their militia allotments from the fed¬ eral treasury. The comptroller of the treasury has held such use to be contrary to the present law, to tlje great annoyance of the state military authorities. „ The memory of , the North .. ..
