DR.. R. NJ Cow, state veterinarian,
who recently returned from a trip
over the state, reports that the tick
eradication campaign is being waged
successfully and that there are now
only II counties which are not a part
Of tick eradication districts. The
building OF dipping vats, allowing the
cattle to be freed from ticks by i'm
mersion in an arsenical solution, has
greatly increased in all parts Of the
state, according to DR.. Cow. When the
animal is freed OF ticks, its general
health improves and It is then immune
from Texas fever. When ticks ara
eradcated, 1t is possible to introduce
pure bred stock without fear OF loss,
"There are 1873 cattle dipping vats
in the state" said Dr. Cow "and
there should be 200 more by the end
of the year, Judging from reports OF
the county demonstration agents.
There are % yats now in operation IN
Pulaski County, and Is in Marion

Arkansas stock raisers have begun
to introduce better stock into their
herds and to improve their strains,

raisers are encouraged to invest money

losing them is now materially reduced.

ponents of the President has ever
INDUCED in such scathing criticism
of the policies of the present admin
istration as did the Governor of
Texas. The latter points out clearly
and concisely the points on which the
President has failed to make good;
he declares that the foreign policy

that its Tariff policy has prostrated
