crossing and there are number of
farms where tick eradication is being
prosecuted for the purpose of saving
the great loss which tick infestation
OF cattle causes.
Other States Hurrying Work.
Alabama led the list of states for
number Of cattle dipped under Govern
, ment supervision during September.
with 737,S37. from an area OF 25,016
square miles.
Mississippi led In point of area be-
| ing worked, with 2S,676 square miles.
although Louisiana was close second
with 1856 square miles. and Arkan-
sas stood third with 27,726 square
miles
During September the Government
was doing systematic dipping of cat
tie in 10000 square miles of terri
tory. which is more than three times
the entire area Of Florida, the total
number dipped being 2,794,3 1852 head
Mississippi and Louisiana have set
their stakes for complete release from
Texas fever quarantine by the year
1919, and each one Is trying to get out
earlier than that date. Having got
ten good taste of farming under tick
free conditions in several of the coun-
ties which took up the tick eradication
work at first, their appetite has been
whetted for tick gore and statewide
tick-free advantages.
Our neighbor state on the north Is
making good progress. 1858 square
miles being worked. Some fine Polled
Angus cattle are being raised on one
of the tick-free farms in the heart of
tick-infested Tiff county, Georgia. A
13-months-old bull, weighing $50
pounds. was recently sold from this
farm for $500. Florida offers just as
good opportunities, under tick-free con
ditions, for raising pure bred cattle
The fever tick just hates high-class
cattle. They prefer scrubs. and either
kill the high-class ones or convert
them into scrubs.

and sexes, who greatly enjoyed
the four attractions.
Sunday was a quiet day and
many people went to church
Regular Christmas services were
held in the Episcopal church
Some families began feasting at
noon that day. There were many
joyous reunions of families and
| friends. Sunday night, there
were no services in the churches,
but the people assembled in the
high school auditorium and en-
joyed d union song service. The
program embraced the finest
Fhome talent and it was delight

Monday. Christmas Day, was
given to the usual feasting; in
fact, some happy people are feast
ing yet and viii continue to do so
until the end Of the year. Vir-
tually every night this week was
characterized by some delightful

The progress of tick eradication
work In Florida is shown in the Gov
ernment's monthly reports telling what
is being done in all Of the quarantined
states, the September statement list
Ing S,736 square miles in this State.
A foot note states that this area is
preparing to take up systematic work,
but doing only vat construction at
present. Included in this territory are
the following counties: Duval, Escam-
bia, Holmes. Palm Beach. Osceola and
Walton.
The Government representatives OF
the Bureau Of Animal Industry under
the direction OF DR.. e. M. Nighbert.
Inspector in Charge. at Jacksonville,
added the counties of Monroe, Nassau
and Santa Rosa during the month OF
October.
They have spent considerable time
visiting the farmers in the above
counties to learn their attitude toward
cooperation in tick eradication work,
which is SO favorable that active
work on the part of the Government
is assured.
Dipping Watts Being Built.
This gives Florida a recognized
working area Of 10000 square miles,
which is good beginning in the tick
eradication campaign, although 1t is
less than one-half the area being work
ed in each Of several states which
have more free territory than Florida,
and which are competitors of Florida
in bidding for progressive farmers to
help develop our agricultural re-
sources.
No systematic Government supervis.
ed dipping is being done at present,
as none Of the counties named are far
enough along with construction of watts
to justify trying to clean up any
entire county, but the work Is pro-
