Lecture on Cattle Tick.

Prof. Archibald Smith, of the A. &
M. College, came here last Friday
and lectured on the cattle tick to a
very small audience at the court
house. Prof. Smith said it was ex-
tremely hard to cause the people to
realize the Importance of taking steps
to eradicate the cattle tick. Because
of the prevalence of this pest in this
state, which has never heretofore
made any attempt at eradication,
Mississippi cattle sell in the northern
markets about $5 per head cheaper
than cattle coming from states that
have quarantine laws and whose citi-
zens are making an effort to suppress
the pest. While few cattle have been
killed by tick fever in this state, the
number is increasing and before long
not only will cattle die from the pest,
but northern markets will close their
doors to cattle from infected districts
