VALUE OF CATTLE INCREASE
District in Mississippi Shown as Ex.
 ample of Eradication.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Washington.-Tha the eradication of the cattle tick has increased the counties of Mississippi, is the report of one of the inspectors of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture. The cost to the people for this eradication in 21 counties was not more than $100, coo. In return they have received dur irg the past year $2,148,S39 in increas- ed valuation of their cattle, and this increase will be permanent so long as the counties are free from ticks The cost of tick eradication was only 51 cents per head.
 That the tick has been one of the greatest deterrents to cattle raising in the South is fact which the South ern farmers are beginning to appre- ciate. Up to date, however, these states have not begun to raise the possible number of cattle per acre. The failure of Southern farmers to avail themselves of their full oppor- tunities in this line has contributed importantly to the general cattle short age, which has amounted to 30 per cent since 1906 for the whole country.
 The rapid increase of population has meanwhile made necessary greater supply of meat for consumption. As a consequence, packers are beginning to look to other quarters for supply. There should, however, be no need of our drawing permanently on the sup plies of other countries while the to- tai yearly output may be so greatly improved by tick eradication through out the South.
