Cattle Tick Eradication.

During the present year Hol-
mes County has built 100 dipping
watts and have dipped $4,000 head
of cattle, on an average of every
two weeks. The county has spent
about So, 800 and the Estimated
Increased Valuation of stock is
$1,000 to Si0O, 900. This seems
to be a very profitable investment
for Holmes County and will be
just as great for Lafayette
County.
Now is the time to have a little
cooperation from the farmers
and stock men. Let us build all
the dipping watts we can this fall
and dip all the cattle we can. 1t
will oe easy for Lafayette County
to be released from quarantine
next year if this is done. From
30 cents to 81 on the hundred is a
handsome profit for the invest
