FIRST TO START BUT
SLOW TO THE FINISH
An Interesting tnlcrv.ew With Chief of
T.cit Eradication Work
"With the rapid extermination of the
cattle tick in other states. North Car
olina is becoming conspicuous, in a mea
sure', because she was the first state in
the Union to establish tick eradication
work along approved lines, but it now
appears that she will be the last at the
finish." The above statement was made
by Dr.. R. A. Ramsey, Chief of Tick
Eradication Division, of the U. S. Bu
reau of Animal Industry, at a recent
conference held in this state.
Dr. Ramsey further adds, "In my tra
vels through North Carolina I have
found that there is a tendency to con
nect tick eradication work wjth the
fence law question, or to make it a po
litical issue. But it has been our ex
perience that this question should stand
on its own merits. Tick eradication
jaakes the greatest progress when it
has .no troublesome alliances. The way
to get rid of ticks is to get the vats j
ready, and then, backed by popular and
legal support, dip all the cattle regular
ly. - .. w-.-ii" -.4 -imrf
While ticks can be eradicated more
speedily and with somewhat less ex
pense under fence conditions, still fen
ces are not a neccessary adjunct to the
work. Ticks have, been eradicated from
free range areas in other states where
no fences exist, and the same results
can be obtained in North Carolina.
While there are vandals who cut fen
ces and attempt to destroy dipping vats,
this element is no larger in Noth Caro
lina than in other states, and their acts
of vandalism class such persons as op
posed to law and order. Usually it is
well know to the people of a locality who
is responsible t for such destruction of
property with the result that those
who disapprove of such unlawful acts
immediately ally themselves with the
better element.
I am glad that tick eradication is in
variably associated with a desire for
live stock improvement and good citi
zenship. In other states where ticks
have been eradicated, better cattle have
been introduced which means more pro
fitable farms and prosperous commun
ities. It would make possible the liberal I
production of meat and dairy products i
so that North Carolina folks would not j
nave to depend upon other states for a
considerable part of their food supply."

a' Very Old Superstition.
1 surprised me to find on Investt
tigation that "touching wood" as 9
supposed safeguard from the conse
quences of exultation or boasting is a
superstition c ancient origin. Au
thorities on these mythological mat
ters tell us that "It dates from - the
time when the oak, the ash, the rowan
(or mountain ash) were held sacred
to the gods of the heathen."
Elizabeth City 'Boy Scouts have inau
gurated Sunday afternoon hikes in re
sponse to the growing demand for some
thing for the small town boy to do on
Sunday. The first Sunday afternoon
hike was held last Sunday and the boys
who participated have interested others
this week .until there probably will be
scores on next Sunday's hikes. Scout
Master A. B. Combs and Assistant
Scout Master Morrisette Pendleton, as
sisted by Secretary Gilmore of the T.
M. C. A. will have charge of these
hikes.
" In addition to the recreation offered,
the boys are given an opportunity to
learn scoutcraft, woodcraft and the flo
ra and fauna of the surrounding country,
under trained leaders.

THE NEWSPAPER SHORTAGE .
AS IT AFFECTS THIS PAPER
In view of the world scarcity of news
print paper and the curtailment in the
size of newspapers everywhere, it may
interest readers of THE INDEPEN
DENT to know that this newspaper has
just received nearly a three months'
supply of paper, with further shipments
promised early in June. The present
size of this newspaper will not be re
duced if possible to avoid it; but in the
interest of the national demand for con
servation of newsprint paper THE IN
DEPENDENT positively can not con
tinue sending the paper to any subscri
ber after his subscription has expired,
unless that subscription is renewed and
paid for. This notice is given in view
of the fact that we have heretofore
gladly extended credit, to old subscri
bers when credit was asked for.

Important Commercial Discovery.
It has been discovered that the hot
tniner.il waters of Bath, England, will
permanently tint glass, and it seems
possible that the well-known health
resort may become a famous glass
staining center.

cause after killing rats is dries them up
leaves no smell." Three sizes, 25c,
