 The show in this city takes place just one week in advance of the Lit tie Rock poultry show and quite a number of the Tri.County Associa- tion exhibitors plan to take their birds on to the show in the capital city from this place.

 Among the prizes to be competed for is the s50 prize trophy cup offered by the Board of Trade and Business Mems League of Helena, for the best exhibit of chickens of any variety: competition open to the world This cup was won last year by W.

Twenty-Five More Counties

Jsekson.-Aecording to DR.. J. II. Kier-

risn, in charge of the work of cattle tick
eradication in Mississippi and Tennessee,
the work OF eradication in Mississippi ap-
pears to be progressing favorabiy. Dr.
Herman reports that there are in opera
tion in Mississippi at the present time
some a,ooo dipping watts, which are being
supervised generally by government and
state veterinarians, from which good re-
suits are obtained. The fact that during
June over 400, 900 cattle had been dipped
in the state, including those rcdippcd, is
an indication of the progres Of this most
important branch of animal industry &C
tivity.
At the present rate Of progress II is
probable that by the end Of the present
year some twenty-five additional counties
will have been proclaimed as free OF the
ticks, and subject to tightening up the
quarantine restrictions now imposed by
the federal government against infc,ted
territory. While the work Of eradication
was started in the northern part Of the
state, in Marshall, DeSoto, Tate and Ben
ton counties will have been proclaimed Rs
free, the movement has been more gen
eral during the past few months in the
southern part Of the state.
