 Favor.

Only three more days remain for the voters of Jefferson county to decide what they, will do toward getting rid of the cat tie tick It is the opinion of the gov ernment experts on cattle raising that every voter in the county should show his interest in the welfare of the county by casting his vote for compulsory cattle dipping.
 In speaking of the electioni R. E. Jack son, government inspector in charge of Alabama, said the vote should be unani- nous We do not want to pass the meas ure by small majority, but we want the ballot of every voter in the county and his cooperation afterward'' said MT Jackson '1t will only be a question of a few months until Jefferson county will be entirely free from ticks if the people will give their cooperation"
 MT Jackson thinks that the few persons who. have been opposing the tick eradi- cation law are doing so from lack of information. He gives an example of 8 man living in Morgan county, who wrote a letter to the government authorities in Washington telling of the injury the dip ping was doing the cattle. The letter stated the cows milk was being dried up and many of the cattle were dying from dipping. The letter was referred to MT. Jackson for investigation; and upon sending a. man to look into the matter. it was found that the man did not own single head of cattle. and that the

WITHIN EASY REACH

The dipping vats will be placed in each community, and within easy reach of every one. There will be an inspector ira charge of the vats, and each man will have something like 10 vats to look after. He will spend one day each two weeks at each place. Several hundred cattle can be put through these vats in one hour, and one-half day will be sufficient time for every farmer to drive his cattle through. The material and the inspectors will be furnished by the county and the farmer has no expense whatever.
 Mr Jackson asks the question: .Is this a loss of time? Will any man say he has lost time when he has saved the lives of his children, or even prevented them from drinking tick infested milk" Aside from this Mir. Jackson points out the increase in value of tick free cattle. and says that the time spent in doing this work of hu- manity is worth while in commercial sense. In fact. the. cattle raiser is well paid for his time. NN~

HURTING THEMSELVES

Knocking seems to be in the system of some persons, and they knock at every thing" said MT. Jackson, but when they knock dipping of cattle they are hit ting themselves a harder blow than they think " Investigations of the result of dipping cattle have been made in all the counties where. organized dipping is be- ing done, and it was found that the tick was not only being destroyed by the solu- ton, but other skin diseases were cured and all cattle lice killed.
 The principal objection to dipping seems to be in the fact that cattle must be dipped every two weeks. and 1t is claimed much time is required to drive cattle in off the range and dip them. In speaking of this. MT. Jackson said that as a whole very little time would be required to do this, and that unless the cattle were dipped every two weeks the tick could not be eradicated. The tick natures in IS days and drops off. After 1t, drops off it matches from 300 to 5000 smalf ticks, and if not killed before .matured there could never be any tick eradication
