"One more side of the work that was
an astonishment to me was the social
side. certain per cent of the earn

families of deceased workers. A school
system is also in operation for the
children of their employees. which
takes them from the kindergarten to

more thoroughly realized by the farm
ers themselves, and state and county
appropriations have been increasing
regularly ever since. The results We're
Immediately noticeable. In 1913, 1859
square miles were freed, in 1914, 974,
and on March 1st of this year, 2,911
square miles.
The authorities in charge of the
work confidently believe that further
extensive releases will follow at inter
walls hereafter. Much of the work that
has already been done does not show,
of course, in the amount of territory
released, but more and more farmers
in the quarantined areas are becoming
convinced of the many advantages of
tick-free stock. In the first place, the
production of milk in dairy cattle and
the weight of beef cattle are both in
creased to most important extent.
Moreover, it is possible to improve the
grade of stock in tick-free sections
whereas this is quite out of the ques-
tion as long as the country remains
tick infested. To import a valuable
bull for breeding purposes into tick
infested area would be pure waste of
money for the animal would die of
fever in a very short time. The value
of the hides of tick-free cattle is also
much increased.
Some time ago the Department of
Agriculture sent to a number OF rep
resentative tock-breeding farmers a
series of questions on the effect OF
tick eradication in their neighborhood.
These replies show that the average
per cent of gain in weight in territory
that has been freed from ticks was
1914, the quality of the cattle was
said to have improved about IA, and
the average milk production had in
creased % per cent. The average in
crease in value for each head of cattle
in the eleven states affected was cal
culated to be 1870. In California
however, it was placed as high as $15

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 29-The
National Geographic Society issued to-

four miles from the Adriatic, is situ-

GEORG|A'S WAR
AGAINST THE
CATTLE TICK

WASHINGTON, D. C. June est
ADEQUATE funds are available it is es-
timated that the work of eradicating
the tick in Georgia should be COM
pleted in 5 or years. Up to the
present time 6,926 square miles have
been released from quarintine, but
much work has been done in sections
of the state which are not yet sutficl-
emily free from ticks to have quaran-
tine regulations removed.
The cost of the work at the end Of
1914 had amounted to $254,5S2, OF
which the Federal government paid
$146, 6,OSO, the state of Georgia $57,O29
and the counties $51,473. The great
need at present is increased appropri-
ations by the state and the counties
During the past two or three years the
State Department of Agriculture has
cooperated actively and energetically
with the Federal authorities, but the
interest in the work of the county Of
ficials has in gtneral been inadequate
to carry on the work with sufficient
rapidity. AS a matter of fact, the
more rapidly the work is done, the less
it costs per square mile of territory
freed. Much of the expense is due te
the campaign of education ntcessar!
to secure cooperation on the part Of
the farmers, am this campaign mus
be carried on whether the results are
discouragingly slow or not.
For the first two years after th'
work was begun, no territory at al
was freed, although the Federal gov
ernment expended over $4,000 th'
first year, but the state appropriation
was only SAG. The second year th'
Federal government spent 1890, an'
the state and counties nothing at all
Thereafter, however, the practica

undertaken to free themselves from
the pest, farms whose owners refuse
to consent to dip their stock. Co
operation in this connection is, OF
course, a necessity for effective work.
For some reason, however, the peo-
pie of Georgia have not been as en-
thusiastic in the work as their neigh
bors in Mississippi. The work in that
state started year later than in Geor-
gia, and for two years, as in the case
of Georgia, no territory was actually
released from quarantine. The state
and counties, however, contributed
Americus times-recorder., 1915-06-28

from the first, and by 1910 1t was pos
sible to free 1,4O7 square miles. In
1911 only 625 square miles were freed
but since that time the number has
been increasing steadily, until at the
end of 1914, 2O,S34 square miles had
been freed, and it was expected that
ticks would be thing of the past in
Mississippi in about two or three
years.
