BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY,
LOCAL OFFICE.
Baton Rouge. La, July 25, 1915.
Dear Sir:
In reviewing the records of this offic,
We find some remarkable figures, which
prove conclusively that the people o
Louisiana are lending their splendid in
fuence toward the eradication of thu
much dreaded CATTLE TICK.
In the parishes of Caddo, Richland
Franklin, West Feliciana, East Feliciana
East Baton Rouge, Tangipahoa, Iberia,
and Ascension doing systematic work,
and Claiborne, East Carroll, Madison
and Tensas released and finishing, there
were dipped systematically in April,
100000 cattle, in May, 20l 900, and in
June, 24S,00 This was all done under
the supervision Of ten Bureau inspectors
with the aid Of tifty-eight parish inspectors
in . territory representing 1880 square
miles.
In those parishes doing preliminary
work, with Q view Of engaging in the
Systematic eradication of the CATTLE
TICK next spring, are now constructed
and in operation about 800 dipping watts.
In connection with the foregoing there is
only one discouraging feature and that is
the lear that the State and Federal funds
available will not permit us to work sys-
tsmatically, next season, in all the par
ishes which will apparently be ready to
fully cooperate.
The passage of the new Statewide tick
eradication Act by the recent Legislature,
il, undoubtedly, one of the greatest
pieces OF constructive legislation ratified
By any similar body in any State within
recent yean. The substance of the Act
y written with due consideration for the
scisnti6c and Is well:as carefullylembody-
ing all the legal phraseology. The sena-
torn and representatives who supported
the bill are to be congratulated for their
wisdom and far sightedness. When
the Live Stock Sanitary Board of the
State was created, IL was solely for the
benefit of Louisianians, and now through
the passage Of this splendid Act, the |
Board has demonstrated that they have
been working incessantly among the peo-
pie to show them the disadvantages of |
boarding the CATTLE TICK, and in
credible advantages to be secured after
its elimination.
The simple methods and reasonable
expense in conjunction with the eradica-
ton Of the CATTLE TICK are very in
significant when compared with the mar.
velous results obtained.
When this internal parasite is elimin-
Ated, We win wonder in amusement why /
We waited 90 long to accomplish such
sreat work in 90 short time.
Very respectfully,
3. ]. SMITH, INSPECTOR IN CHARGE.

UNCLE SAM Orders
new R.R. headlights
|. c. c. Regulation Chang
ing Present System of
Lighting EffectiveS Soon
COMPANIES WILL
FIGHT REGULATION

An order of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, involving railroad
safety and the lives Of the travelling
public. will go into effect at an early
date with q sweeping change Of loco
motive headlights in all sections OF
the United States. Already action has
been filed. It is said. in the courts to
prevent the order from being en-
freed This order calls for high
powered electric searchlights on all
locomotives. Il decides a controversy
over relative safety Of different head
lights that has ragged for several years
aud has engaged the attention Of rail-
road operators, engineers and me
chanics everywhere.
There were 81 500 locomotive head
lights in use in the United States last
year, of which 1928 we're oil burn
ers; 22,120 were electric arc; 632
electric incandescent and 1904 acety-
lene. The electric headlights now in
use are confined principally to South
ern and Western territory. The esti-
mated cost to the railroads for new
equipment under the rule is said to
be upwards Of s6,0000O0. which does
not include the labor expenses in
making the change.
The new rule reads that Each To-
comotive used in road service between
sunset an dsunrise shall have head
light which will enable persons with
normal vision IN the cab of the loco
motive, under normal conditions. to
see dark object the size Of a man
for a distance Of 1000 feet or more
ahead of the locomotive" Only an
electric light will practically meet
this test.
Labor leaders. comprising the high
est officers Of the three train en-
ployes' organizations-the Brother
hoods OF Engineers. Conductors and
Trainmen-- personally conducted the
fight for compulsory universal adop-
tion Of the "searchlight," as a safety
measure. Operating chiefs, master
mechanics and light experts Of the
railroads protested against the high
power lights as a dangerous expert
ment
The Master Mechanics Association,
through a special committee of seven
experts. conducted exhaustive tests
from 1912 to 1914, a score Of experts
devoting many months 10 testing
every existing type Of headlight un-
der varying conditions in different
localities They reported all tests
agreed in showing that incorrect
reading OF colored signals by en-
gineers was increased by the high

glare produced confusing reflections

finally passed over the divide TO the

to its mouth. En- route several tribes
and remnants of tribes were visited
