CATTLE DIPPING
 ARGUED BEFORE
 REVENUE BOARD
Delegations Favoring Con- tinuance and Others Op- posing Work Attend
 Mass Meeting

Protests against the continuation of the dipping vats of Jefferson county, and arguments in favor of the practice, were made yesterday morning at a mass meet ing of farmers, darymen and others in- terested, held in front of the courthouse. The meeting was called to meet in the courtroom of Judge John C. Pugh, but the crowd was so large that it was held in front of the courthouse on the Third avenue side. Jere Gwin, president of the board of revenue presided, and after all the arguments were submitted, the mat ter was taken under advisement by the in favor generally of the plan of tick board
 While many of those asking that the dipping be discontinued at this time are eradication, they entered protests against the methods in which the dipping has been done in this county. They contend that discrimination has been shown by those in charge, and that the dipping mixture has not been properly prepared, resulting in the death of a number of valuable cows.
 On the other hand the advocates of dipping contend that the percentage of deaths has been extremely small; that the benefits already attained far offset any disadvantages that may have arisen, and that it would be backward step to dis continue the dipping of cattle.
 GENTLEMAN SPEAKS
 Fred H. Jones of Livingston president of the Southern Cattlemen's associa tion, and one of the best known farmers of the state, made a strong plea for the con- tnuation of the dipping vats, stating he had been dipping cattle for eight years and had never lost a COW. He told of the great need of beef cattle and that in marketing them the cattle raiser in section free from ticks had a great ad- vantage in prices over the farmer in tick infested district.
 George Ross of Bessemer spoke against the dipping of cattle in this county and urged the board of revenue to discon- tinue the appropriation for the tick erad- ication work stating lit was a waste of money to pay for the murdering oe cows.'
 DIR. HERMAN EXPLAINS WORK
 pr. J. A. Kiernan made an address in which he explained the tick eradication work and it's importance to the county and state He stated the movement had had opposition in many sections of the country but it had been overcome to the great and lasting good of these sections. He pointed out the fact that the United States regulation prohibited the shipment of cattle from a tick infested district to tick free area, and that when sent to the stock market must be sold for inn mediate slaughter at the quarantine pens.
 Others to address the meeting against the dipping of cattle were MT. Walker, MT. Underwood, MT. Moore, J.. D. Forks and others. Among those advocating the continuance of the tick eradication move ment were Judge J. T. Stokely, John Matthews, Hugh Praytor and MT. Martin.
 The board of revenue has on hand many petitions protesting against the dipping vats and others much in favor of the system. They will act on the matter sometime next week.
