Kelopment OF sound agriculture
over a large and fertile area. Un-
fortunately, the South has SO
long been accustomed to the tick
that the extent OF the evil is not
thoroughly appreciated. If it
were. the tick would now be a
thing Of the past, for the posi-
biity Of complete eradication has
been demonstrated as absolutely
as the desirahility.
When systematic eradication
work was undertaken in 1906,
74ll ,515 square miles were under
quarantine because of the cattle
tick. On Sept. Is, 1915, a total
area of 264,469 square miles, or
more than one-third Of the orig
inal territory, had been cleaned
Of the tick and freed from quar-.

NEGRO FARMERS TO Or
GANIZE.

j. NJ. Burr, Government Agent
for the Negroes has called a
meeting Of the Negro farmers Of
the Parish Of Iberia to meet Sun
day afternoon, October 31st at
l 80. The meeting will be he'd
at the St. James M. E. Church on
St. Peter Street.
It is hoped that every Negro
farmer in the Parish as well as
any other person interested in
agriculture, will attend this meet
ing. The purpose Of the meet.
ing is to discuss practical farm
ing and to organize the farmers
into a mutual organization for
the betterment Of the farmer and
the Parish. 1t is hoped that
some of the best speakers of the
Parish will be present and to this
end, Burr has invited some per-
sons prominent in agriculture, to
be present.

it turns what should be a con-
servative business into spec ula-
tlon. Even native cattle are not
always immune to tick fever,
and many banks are becoming re-
luctant to lend money on live
stock in the tick-infested area.
The security is not considered
good. Credit is as essential in
successful farming as it is in any
other form of business, and the
ticks influence in hindering it's
extension is proving serious
drawback to the development Of
Southern agricultural prosperity.
To the dairymen the tick is as
great an enemy as to the beef
raiser. Recent experiments have
shown that the flow of milk is re-
duced by ticks by a percentage
ranging from Is to AZ per cent,
depending upon the degree Of
the infestation. The owner Of a
herd of twenty cows, which
should produce eight quarts per
dav, will lose, therefore, with
milk at SC a quart, from 1920 to
$670 a year, estimating the milk
in :. period for each COW at 200
days in the year. In one case
the owner of a herd Of forty-two
cows obtained an increase Of 1876
rer cent Of his daily yield Of milk
one week after he began dipping
his cattle. He was selling his
milk at 35c a gallon, so that this
meant $3.50 a dav additional in
come as the result of single
dipping in the arsenical solution.
Such instances as this could be
multiplied indefinitely. There is
abundance of evidence to show
the profit in dollars and cents
that comes directly to the farmer
from tick eradication, and there
is an equal amount of evidence to
show the practicability of such
eradication. A study Of this evi-
dence can not fail to convince
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1915-10-30

even the most skeptical that the
tick is today one of the greatest
and at the same time one of the
most unnecessary obstacles in the
way of the Southern farmer. Its
passing will open the door for an
agriculture in which the raising
Of live stock will play it's proper
and effective part in the creation
Of prosperity.

DIRE NECESSITY OF TICK
ERADICATION.
Annual Loss to Country VIII
Mount Into Millions.

HY (The following article on
s'Tick Eradication a Necessity .
! was prepared especially for The
News under the direction of the
Hon. David r. Houston, Secre.
tary of Agriculture, Washington.
The tcattle tick is today one OF
the greatest obstacles in the path
of agricultural progress in the
South. Nature intended the
South to be one Of the great cat
tie regions of the world, but the
tick has interposed its veto. Be-
cause of the tick the meat supply
of the entire country is curtailed
and the Southern farmer is pre-
vented from realizing the full
possibilities Of sound. diyersi-
fed agriculture. Without live
stock on the farm such an agri-
culture is impossible; with the
tick, live stock can never take its
proper place in farm manage
ment. As a feeder Of stock. the
farmer in tick-infested sections
can not complete successfully
with the tanner in tick-free Sec
tions.
Enormous Annual Loss.
Statisticians have parionsly es-
timated the annual loss to the
country from the tick at from
$4O,WO,0O0 to 800, 100000. As
a matter of fact, no figures can
adequately represent the effect
upon the country Of a pest the
evil of influence Of which is felt
in so many different ways. We
can estimate, perhaps, the tax
which the tick leyies upon the
cattle industry today, but we
can not tx the extent to which
the industry could be developed
were this csushing burden once
removed. The cattle tick, and
the cattle tick alone. is response
BILE for splenetic fever, which not
only kills annually thousands OF
cattle. but also prevents the i'm
portation of pure-bred stock into
the infestet region. From such
animals as the tick does not kill.
1t sucks large quantities of
blood, greatly reducing the
weight Of the animal and its
value as beef. 1t reduces the
milk flow of dairy cattle in severe
eases as much as ~ per cent, and
under all circumstances very ap-
preciably. 1t ruins the hides for
use in the finer grades of leather
and depreciates their price in
consequence. 1t necrssitates
onefous quarantine regulations
which restrict the markets for
ticky cattle, increase the cost OF
disposing of them and frrther
lower the price to the farmer.
1vl Not Appreciated.
These facts are beyond aues-
tion. They affect the income in
one or another Of practically
eyery farmer IN the tick-infested j
tates and they hinder the de-

eral inspectors, expert advice and
supervision, and assistance in or
ganizing and conducting cam
paigns of eradication. From the
beginning Of the work to Jan. l.
1915, the Department of Agricul-
ture had expended for this pur-
pose $1,S15,360.
Help Those Who Help
Themselves.
The department, however, is
powerless to help those who do
not wish to help themselves. The
States and the counties must sup
ply the materials and the labor
for building and maintaining the
dipping vats, and must enforce
local regulations for continuous,
systematic dipping Of all herds IN
the area in which work is IN
progress. Spasmodic, half-heart-
ed, disorganized efforts will fail
as certainly as regular, systema-
tic work will succeed.
The tick feeds entirely upon
cattle and can not reproduce uh-
less it obtains their blood. 1t
lays it's eggs. however, on the
ground, preferably in some shell
tered spot, where they hatch in
from two to six weeks. The
young ticks, or larvae. as they are
called. can subsist for long time
without nourishment and have
been known to do so for months.
AS soon as they are able they
crawl up On the leaves Of grass
or weeds. or to any POSITION from
which they can reach the bodies
of cattle. There they fasten
themselves to the softer portions
of their victim s skin and proceed
to suck blood. At this stage they
are still so small that they are
scarcely visible to the naked eye,
hut. nourished bv the blood thev
draw. they develop rapidly, until
in about two weeks they are cap-
able of reproduction. After this
the female continues to increase
until. thoroughly gorged with
blood. she drops to the ground,
laws her eggs and dies.
Eradication Is Possible.
This life history makes possi-
BILE the eradication Of the tick by.
systematic diping of cattle in a
plunge bath containing a stand
ard arsenical solution. This So
luton is virulent poison to the
tick and kills all those with which
it comes in contact. Since the
ticks live for about three weeks
on an animal, this offers two op-
portunities for the poison to
reach them. Ticks cast off their
skins twice in the course of their
brief life. and during this process
of molting it is possible that the
skin NAV protect the molting tick
within from the effect Of the poi
son. If two clippings are given,
with an interval of two weeks
between, the tick is sure to be
