The past year has been one Of the
most successful in the history Of tick
eradication in Oklahoma From the
time farm to farm canvass. was be-
gun by the territorial and federal
government about seven years ago the
work Of eradication has been carried
on increasingly. When the work was
begun there was hardly a spot in the
whole state but was infested and cat
tie were commanding the minimum
price on the market as a consequence.
Although il meant on an average
Of 81 or IS a head for cattle cleaned
of fever ticks as to market price.
there was no little opposition to the
eradication work. Farmers at first

and many emphatically declared that
the ticks could not be eXterminated.
Persistent effort showed they could.
which was the best argument and
when the results Of the work began
to be shown many of those who SIN
cerely hoped for results were con-
WINGED and their cooperation began.
