AAoWeFef, we are seriously handi- capped by the lack of funds. In IA counties the farmers are ready to be gln systematic work in the fall of 1917 if we had the fund to start the work. It is to be hoped that financial assistance can be secured, as I am sure that all these IA counties could De freed from ticks within a season.
 Arkansas can never take it's right ful place as a great live stock state un- til 1t is entirely free from the cattle tick. Systematic work has been car rled on in a limited way during the last few years because of the lack of funds.

 The five counties that have voted for tick eradication were won without any strenuous campaigning. A few days before the election Dr. A. B. Wight and Dr. M. Gregory of the Blu reau of Animal Industry of the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture, w. A. Denman of the University of Arkansas Extension Division, Dr. R. s. Scribner, assistant veterinarian, and myself spent one day in each of the fiU0 counties LNuo vhox- found the business men, bankers and farmers in hearty sympathy with the tick eradication movement"
