TICK EDICT IS LIFTED
North as Well as South Profits
From Release.
Quarantine Against Cattle Fever 10
Raised From Great Section
In the South.

Washington, ID. Can order signed
by Secretary Of Agriculture D. f.
Houston lifted on December 1 from
65,52O square miles in the Southern
states the federal quarantine against
movement Of Southern cattle. 1t Is
Of great Importance to cattle raise-s
and dealers Of Northern states, as well
as those of the South.
In regions infested by the cattle
tick It has not been held safe to I'M
port better stock for the Improvement
In Southern herds because cattle
freshly brought in from regions where
the tick is not prevalent are espe-
cially prone to slcken and die from
the fever germs carried by. the blood
sucking parasite. The federal quar-
antine against the cattle tick, on the
other hand, has prevented the ship
ment of cattle from infested sections
for use as stockers and feeders In free
territory, and permits their shipment
into free territory only under quar-
antine restrictions and for immedi'
ate slaughter.
The release Of December 1 is the
largest amount of territory ever liber'
ated at one time since the federal
campaign against the cattle tick was
started In 1905, and, added to 5,234
square miles freed in March and Sep
tember, will make 1917 by far thu
greatest year so far in. the annihila
ton Of the tick.
Nine Southern states benefited b!
the release order. The largest benen
ciary was Mississippi, which was en-
