BY =. NJ. KERRY
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct.
26.-One hundred millions of
dollars that formerly vanished
into thin air now goes into the
pockets OF farmers each yearl
Three years ago this sum was
lost by Southern farmers thru raw
ages of the Texas fever tick. the
dreaded cattle parasite. One OF
the biggest achievements OF the L.
s. department of agriculture has
been eradication of this insect.
With the tick out of the way. the
great Southern country, which has
been under quarantine. will become
n vast cattle raising district.
Fever ticks have made profitable
cattle raising impossible. The av.
crage tick-infested COW loses near.
ly quart of milk day. and a
heavily infested i.000-pound steer
VIII lose as much as 200 pounds of
blood a year.
The tick lowered the production

of meat and milk. prevented tn.
importation Of pure.bred stock
made the soil suffer because of lack
of manure, and even damaged the
hides OF cattle.
When Secretary of Agriculture
Houston took charge of the depart.
ment In 1913. he found 542.TT9
square miles of territory under
quarantine because of the dreaded
fever tick.
Since then the government has
appropriated si,o64.s55 to eradicate
the pests. In the last three years
loS,2o0 square miles of this quar-.
antined area has been released.
At the present rate Of eradi.
cation, the tick will be banished -
from every square mile in the
United States In five mora
years.
The department Is doing this by
getting farmers to dip their cattle.
