PROPOSED PLAN TO
PREVENT DISEASE

Helena, Mont, Oct. 20.-To trap the
spotted fever ticks in the Bitter Root
With sheep. is the latest plan proposed
for the eradication of the insect. Ar
engagements have been made to give the
plan a thorough test. q
The. free grazing of 2, 800 head Of sheep
upon the Bitter Root national forest has
been authorized by the secretary Of ag-
riculture. The forest service and the pub
lie health service are working with local
sheep growers in this campaign.
1t is the general belief of leauing med
zeal authorities that the mysterious and
frequently fatal disease, commonly known
as spotted fever. is spread by the tick
dermacentor anderson, which, in parts
OF the Bitter Root forest occurs in such
abundance that it constitutes a real
menace to man and beast. Surgeon Nc
Clintic Of the public health service died
last year of spotted fever, contracted dur
ing his study Of the disease and it's con-
IroI.
The proposed plan contemplates the
grazing Of two bands or sheep upon the
parts of the forest where the tick is
most abundant, with the idea that large
numbers of the ticks will attach them
selves to the sheep. Then, as. occasion
requires, the sheep will be freed Of the
ticks by being dipped in an insecticide
solution which will kill the ticns with
out in any way injuring the sheep.
The engorglng OF the female tick with
blood is one Of the essential functions Of
reproduction, and this gorging must Of
necessity take place upon the large NAM
mails which serve as hosts to the tick.
The United State biological survey has
reached the conclusion that the great
bulk Of the fever ticks which become
TILED with blood. get their supply while
attached to domestic stock, anu that if
the domestic animals are freed Of ticks
by dipping, by spraying or by some other
effective method Of treatment, the
chances of the infection Of human beings
will be vastly reduced.
or the different domestic animals, the
sheep is the most readily handled and
the easiest to dip or treat, hence its Sc
lection for use in the experiment.
