The following resolutions were
passed by the cattle tick conference
on the use Of lime on the farm lands

whereas, the eradication Of the
cattle tick is recognized as the first
step in the development of the live

it is further recognized that the
building of pastures Of clovers, alfal-
IA and other forage crops is equally
as essential,

METHOD IS SIMPLE
CATTLE TICK CAN BE EASILR
GOTTEN RID OF.
Principal Facts as to the Situation
= and What is Means to the Farmers
Of the State.

Of the State.
Interesting facts brought out at the
conference on the eradication Of the
cattle tick at Columbia Saturday
were:
That cattle dipping watts cost from
$50 to s1O0, according to the loca-
ton.
One vat will serve an area Of be-
tween Is and 20 square miles.
The ticks could be wiped out in one
summer under the active cooperation
of the State and federal authorities.
No other animals are hosts for the
tick except cattle, with the possible
exception Of deer, which become in
fected accidentally.
Tick eradicators should rely on
moral suasion rather than resort to
the compulsory law.
There are about 40 cattle dipping
va's in South Carolina.
The federal quarantine has been
lifted in IA counties by the work al
ready done.
Ticks cause the loss of more cattle
in South Carolina than all diseases OF
cattle com bined.
Ticks impoverish cattle by their
continuous blood sucking.
Ticks irritate the skin and cause
loss of condition.
Ticks reduce the value Of hides.
Ticks permanently stunt young
cattle.
Ticks increase the feed bill and de-
crease the milk flow Of dairy cattle.
Ticks prohibit the improvement OF
native cattle by preventing the intro
duction of pure bred or high bred
cattle.
Ticks cause increased freight ratef
on cattle.
Ticks compel feeders in infested
counties to accept from 1-2 to 1 1-2
cents less per pound than Is paid fol
cattle Of the same class raised in tick
free counties.
Ticks close the worlds best mar.
kets to dairy and breeding cattle rails
ed in tick infested counties.
Ticks cause the loss Of about ST.
100000 in South Carolina each year
What has been accomplished in
South Carolina:
Since July, 1907, Clemson College
veterinary division has been co-opera'
ting with the United States depart
ment of agriculture in eradicattng
ticks from South Carolina.
The expense Of this work has been
shared by Clemson college and the
United States department of agricul'
ture. Prior to 1913 no financial aid
was received from other sources. This
year citizens OF Chesterfield, Flor.
ence, Lee, Kershaw, Fairfield and
Newberdy counties contributed a to-
tai sum of $3.50.
AS a result of this work the fol.
lowing counties have been released
from federal quarantine: Oconee
Pickens, Greenville, Anderson, Able
Vile, Spartanburg, Cherokee, Union
Laurens, Greenwood, Chester, York
Madlboro, Darlington; that portion
of Lancaster county north Of Waxhaw
creek.
Tick eradication is now in progress
in the counties Of Lee, Chesterfield
Fairfield, Newberry, Florence, Ker-
shaw.
approximately $500 square miles
have been freed fdom ticks and re.
leased from federal quarantine.
