(Prepared by the U. s. Department of
 Agrieulture)
 The annual toll of the Texas fever cattle tick in the infested area of the South reaches a staggering total. Yet the tick itself is a small parasite, se- curing it's sustenance by taking little sups of blood from the animals and often passing on to them the dreaded Texas fever. Many cattle owners who have always been accustomed to see both ticks and ticky cattle on their farms unfortunately are not in- clined to attach much importance to cattle ticks, and, as a rule, through lack of appreciation of their damag- ing effects, consider them as of little consequence. Ticks take their toll in many ways, all of which are not generally understood. Their power of transmitting Texas fever would alone demand their complete eradication, but there are other good reasons for ridding the South of cattle ticks.
 It is not uncommon to notice ami mals on pastures with their hides very heavily infested with ticks. By continuous sucking of the blood from the animals, the ticks imrOverish their circulation and the cattle must be fed heavier in order to meet the demands of the ticks in addition to the ordinary needs of the animals. This condition, together with the loss of blood, frequently induces an irri- foh lot 1F ci- ness, commonly known as tick worry" which results in loss of en- ergy and in other Arrangements in the animals health Especially dur ing hot weather, in pronounced cases, the animal loses flesh in spite of good pasture, and because of reduced vi- tality is more susceptible to the in- roads of disease. If the animssseeye- come heavily infested the growth of the cattle may be retarded In many parts of the South young cattle are thin, weak and stunted, a condition which has been termed tick pow erty."
 It does not appear strange, when it is considered that some animals harbor many thousands of these blood-sucking ticks, that the milk flow from milch COWS is greatly reduced. If these ticks are crushed, it will be found that their intestines are com pletely filled with dark, thick mass

of blood abstracted from cows, and to the formation of milk, flesh and the laying on of fat. The bites of these ticks are often followed by inf1amma- tion with pus-producing organisms causing small abscesses which may terminate in ulcers. These sores are often found to be the matching place of fly eggs, which give rise to infes- tation with destructive maggots.
 Losses to Market and Dairy Cattle.
 A comparison of the actual money value of cattle with ticks and cattle without ticks is interesting. It is we'll known that animals coming from an infested district and sold in the southern tick quarantine pens of northern stock yards bring an average of one-fourth to one-half a cent less per pound than the quoted market price. The handicap to the southern cattle seller, therefore, is about $1.5O per head, allowing an individual weight of 600 pounds for all classes of animals. The cattle tick also keeps down the value of cattle which are left at home on the farm in the in fested country This loss, however does not include the decrease in flesh and lack of development of southern cattle caused by the ticks.
 It was estimated by government specialists that in dairy cattle har boring light infestation of ticks the milk flow is reduced about t8 per cent
