STATE FAILED TO
EXTEND WORK.
I Federal Authorities Unable To
Give Full Help To Arkansas
In Tick Eradication.
Washington, D. C-, Sept. 23.—
Owing to the fact that the state
of Arkansas failed, at the last
session of the state legislature,
to extend its work of tick erad
ication to additional counties by
authorizing them to raise a tax
of five cents per head of cattle
for this work, the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture is unable, at
the present time, to give to Ar
kansas her full benefit from the

tick eradication made by Con
gress at its last regular session.
The Federal work therefore,
must be laregly restricted to the
counties to which state authori
zation previously had been
granted.
The method by which the fed
eral authorities co-operate with
the state in eradicating the tick
is for the states or counties to
raise funds to provide dipping
vats and dips, and the federal
authorities then send their spec
ialists to the field to assist the lo
cal authorities in carrying out
the work of destroying this par
asite which lessens the value of
cattle three dollars per head and
often damages the value of
hides for making certain kinds
of leather. In the absence of
such authorizing act, the state
officials have no authority to
compel counties to take steps to
dip their cattle, and the ques
tion of eradicating the tick de
pends entirely upon whether the
people of the counties are will
ing to raise private subscriptions
for the work. If the counties
are unable to provide dipping
vats and dips, they cannot ob
tain from the Department the
full help that Congress designed
they should have from the Bu
reau of Animal Industry.
In the campaigns in Arkansas
during the years of 1909 and
1912, inclusive, the Department
of Agriculture spent annually
sums varying from twenty to
twenty-eight thousand dollars
for tick eradication in that state.
These expenditures and co
operation with the money and
labor provided by the state re
sulted in the release from quar
antine of 10,897 square miles in
1
---
Arkansas. According to the
State Commissioner, four-fifths \
of Arkansas is still under quar
antine, and, as a result, 750,000
head of cattle would bring on the
market three dollars per head j
less than if they were freed from
the tick. He estimates, there
fore, that the presence of the cat
tle tick in the four-fifths of the
state is costing the people of
Arkansas $2,250,000. The fed
eral authorities stand ready to
co-operate with the Arkansas
people to the full limit of author
ity given by congress. The ab
sence of the necessary enabling
act on the part of the state, how
ever, has prevented the officials
from accepting fully the co-op
eration of the Department to
the extent that has been the rule
in that state since 1909.
Promises to Be Big Industry.
Heber Springs, Sept. 22.—An
industry that will doubtless sur
pass all others in rapid develop
ment in the mineral belt of Ar
kansas within the next few years
is that of commercializing pros
phate rock, which has been dis
covered in unlimited quantities
in the northern part of the State
and which is used in the manu
facture of fertilizers. Recent
discoveries disclose the fact that
large areas of phosphate land lie
in Izard and Searcy counties on
the south slope of the Ozarks,
and that this phosphate rock as
says above 60 per cent pure and
some as high as 90.1 pure, the
latter ranking by far more pure
than that mined in Tennessee
and other phosphate producing
states.
The origin of phosphate rock
is said to be fossil remains of an
lllldA U1V »» illV/ii V/Aiuvvw “ft |
when the sea covered the country
where it is found. These rocks,
at first deposited as sediments,
are shown to be the remains of
such animals as inhabit salt wa
ter- When the seas and oceans
receded these animals died and
became a part of the sediment
or soil. According to Dr. J. C.
Branner, former geologist of Ar
kansas, but now president of
Stanford University, these de
posits occur at a definite place in
the rock series and are not scat
tered over the territory where
found at random. They are not
confined to fissure veins like cer
tain metal, but for the most part
are horizontal, rendering the
mining a very simple proposi
tion. The region where found in
this state is very hilly, and with
the horizontal sheets of rock ex
tending through the hills, cover
a vast territory. Many of these
deposits contain the oxides of
iron and alumina to such an ex
cess as to render the rock of lit
tle value in the manufacture of
superphosphate or commercial
fertilizer. But, according to Dr.
Branner, bone prosphate of lime,
as the crude rock is called when
mined from the earth, is of val
ue for the market only when ov
er 60 percent pure, and the che
mist’s report on the rock recent
lv found shows it considerably
above this rank in percentage of
purity. The deposits vary great
ly in values, and often in the
same vicinity high and low
grades occur. These deposits
are “pinched out” and are want
ing altogether for miles. This
fact causes Dr. Branner to say:
“The phosphate horizon extends
many miles, but the workable
beds are of limited extent.” It
takes time and patience and at
least a limited knowledge of ge
ology to locate the rich beds, but
this has just been done in the
above named counties, and geolo
gists say that there are approxi
mately five hundred million tons
of phosphate in that section.

Monday night by the Rev. Fran- ]
cis N. Brewer at the M- E. !

Quite a romance is connected j
with the marriage. Mrs. Little- ]
ton was first married to a rela- ]
tive of Mr. Littleton of Washing- ]
ton. Recently she became ac
quainted with A. L. Littleton
through the correspondence of
their relatives. The couple be
came correspondents, and
through the medium of the mails
decided to marry. They had
never seen each other until Mr.
Littleton and his three children
arrived from Washington last |
evening. |
Mrs. Littleton has been a resi- j
dent of Mena for about twoyears,
and has many friends who wish
her happy life. The couple will |
temporarily make Mena their |
home, perhaps spending the win
ter in this city.—Mena Star.
