Virginia, and Dixon. OF oMntana. y

"Josep,' said the committee. thee

"They would not walt q year." inter.

RICH DIVIDENNS
NOW POSSIBLE
TICK Eradication Shows Immense
Benefits in Remarkable Short
Time in This State.

DR.. j. A. Herman, inspector in
charge Of the cattle tick eradication
work in the South, with headquarters
at Nashville, means an interesting re-
port on the results of the eradication
work in Holmes county.
During the summer of 1910, says DR..
Herman, the people of Holmes county
voted in favor of the tick eradication
work, but actual operations were not
started until February of the present
year. The county board of supervis-
ors appointed four local inspectors
to cooperate with the state and feder-
al inspectors, and the campaign was
then started in earnest. One hundred
and 80 cattle dipping watts are now in
active operation, and practically all
the cattle in the county have been
regularly dipped in the arsenical So
luton every two weeks. As a result.
the ticks have been almost completely
exterminated in that county, and the
Federal Bureau of Animal Industry
has granted permission for cattle to
be shipped from Holmes county to
any part of the United States at any
season of the year, and for any pur-
pose as free cattle when handled in
accordance with the modified regula-
lions of the Mississippi Live Stock
Sanitary Board.
AS a result of this effective work.
says DR.. Herman, the increased valua-
ton of Holmes county cattle will be
about $3.50 per car load.
what has been done in Holmes
county can be done in any other coun-
ty in the state" says DR.. Herman.
"The cost of the tick eradication work
is exceedingly small, as compared
with results achieved. | hope every
county in the state will join in the
state wide fight against the tick. It
pays to raise clean cattle"
