TICK ERADICATION
 ON IN EARNEST

Moulton, May 7.-(Special )-Tick eradi- cation has begun in earnest in Lawrence county In the first vat completed more than ll5 cows were dipped the first day. Under government expert vats are being constructed in several parts of the county. The plan adopted practically does away with any law enforcement, as all farmers near the vats are invited to assist in the digging, and then each one takes his own cattle to the vat at his discretion. Much interest is manifested and it is confiden- tially believed that not many months will have passed before Lawrence county will have the quarantine lifted.
