Ct. Elmo Dipping Vat in Operation.

The cattle dipping vat recently
constructed at st. Elmo was operated
for the first time Monday morning,
when 165 head of cattle were passed
through the arsenical solution. In
ctdentally, two dogs and man were
given bath In the tick eradicating
Liquid. The vat Was constructed by
the ST. Elmo Producers Association
on the cooperative basis, most of the
members actually laboring In its
construction. The money required
was advanced by the dairy branch
OF the association, and the members
themselves did the work, thus ex-
simplifying the splendid spirit of c,
operation that prevails among the
citizens of the St Elmo community.
A. charge of five cents head will be
exacted for dipping full-grown cattle,
and three cents for calves and sheep,
and the vat will be operated for the
use of the general public. The st.
Elmo Producers Association has a
membership of twenty-five, and is Of
ficered by FL. A. Morgan, president;
a. Gauthreaux, vice president, and |
George w. Reese, acting secretary
and treasurer.
