DIPPING VAT FOR FARMERS
INSTALLED AT FAIR GROUNDS

For the convenience of farm
ers and stock raisers who attend
the eleventh animal fair of the
Mississippi and West Alabama
Fair Association, which is to held
in this city October 10Th to 21st,
inclusive. the management has
decided to install modern dip
ping vat wherein all cattle will
be dipped free of charge.
The vat will be modern in ev-
cry particular, being constructed
under the supervision of DIR. w.
K. Thornton, the expert in the
emplCy of the bureau of animal
husbandry of the United States
department of agriculture, who
is in charge of the tick eradica-
tion campaign in Lowndes coun-
ty. and will be filled with the
arsenical solution prescribed by
the government for freeing cat
tie from ticks.
The officers of the fair associa-
tion are to be commended for
their action in this matter. as the
installation of dipping vat at the
fair grounds will not only be a
convenience for cattle raisers but
will be instructive to them as
well. as they can see the benefit
to be derived from the arsenieal
dip. and many of them may be
induced TO install watts on their
plantations.
In addition to the dipping vat,
the farmers will find that many
other conveniences have been
provided them and that the man.
agement has made unusually
strenuous efforts to secure both
and exhibits that are
sure to please those engaged in
agricultural pursuits. While spe-
