Sc FaraeisyIlle, La, April 30, 1915,
There have been dipped 1858 cattle
Ia this parish since the work started
this year, no accident having occurred
and no reason Why any should happen
during the balance of the season.
A large majority OF owners are very
anxious to completely eradicate the
cattle tick this season and are direct
Ing every effort to that end. Expert
enee has taught us that this can be
accomplished Ia one season. by using
the same amount OF energy that you
would bestow on any other business
matter perhaps with less money In.
yolyed Vigilance In this matter must
not relax In order 10 accomplish this
result, no owner should deceive him.

Ia thought to be advisable TO inform
them what may be expected In case
the dipping Ia performed In a dIlatory
manner Al this date there Ia still
time to clean any pasture and In case
any ore is infested with ticks at the
end Of the season II will be because q
clean dipping was not had from that
particular place. for whatever reason,
aveidable or otherwise DO not keep

afraid to clean your pasture entirely,
as this would still leave you with an

that you are alone ia this condition

you desire few ticks at the beginning
of another year there will scarcely be-
any premium on them az they will still
be plentiful In nearby sections and can
be secured very easily for the asking,
