Registered Holstein cattle, 50 head. All ages. Including entire disposal of The Roy Goodrich herd of S5 COWS; also 15 head from herd of Frank Reed Sanders. Consignments from several of the noted herds of the valley. No other animals that even approach the breeding value of these cattle have ever been offered at public auction. At other recent sales cattle have sold without regard to records of immedi- rte sires and dams. The intelligent buyer of pure bred animals will await this opportunity to add to his herd or found a new one. Holstein breeders 7f experience know that butter fat ree- urds are what makes value in register ed animals, and it is only the novice who contents himself with animals merely because they are registered and have no near relatives with large offi- cial butter records. The dairyman who contemplates founding a registered herd will be well rewarded if he pre- pares to purchase some of the wonder ful seed stock this sale will offer. The sale includes:
 A son of Q Grand Champion cow Her record. 1O2 lbs. milk one day. 29 lbs. butter, l week.

in their work of eradication. |
Consequently progress is large
ly dependent upon the amount OF
voluntary support received from
associations of dairymen, stock
men. bankers AID other business
men. An area of $500 miles
has, however, already been clean
ed, and into this high-class beef
and dairy cattle are being i'm
ported with satisfactory results.
In another county systematic
work is being carried on which
should result in release from
quarantine at the end of the year,
seven counties have approprla-
ted money for the construction
of vats, and similar action is
looked for on the part Of a num-
ber of others.
These facts indi cate that thru
out the entire South there is a de-
termination to be rid of the tick
and that quickly. 1t is many
wears since there was any ques-
ton of the feasibility of total
eradication; the chief difficulty
has been to convince the people
that it was really worth their
while to take up the work. To-
day so much territory has been
freed that the benefits are plainly
apparent, and this difficulty has,
therefore, to a great extent been
removed. In the last three years
more than 10000 square miles
have been released from quaran'
tine, leaving 419,0OO in the entire
country still infested. Much o.
this area, however, is in Texas
where the problem is somewhat
different than in the States cas-
of the Mississippi. In the latter
, section it is reasonable to suppose
. that in few years the tick will
be a thing of the past.

TO GET The
TICK EARLY
Dipping of Cattle in Infested
Area East of the Missis-
sippi to Begin in March.

The dipNjng of eattlein the tick
infested areas will begin earlier
than usual this year, it is an
nounced. There are now IA
o47 vats in commission and it
will be possible with these to
dip over million cattle each
month. 1t is planned to be-
gin the work as soon as possi-
HE after March l in order to
catch the first generation of ticks
batched in the spring before
thev have had time to lay eggs.
In this way, it is hoped to re-
laase much territory early in the
fall.
There is indeed reason to be-
I;eye that 1917 will see more ter
ritory freed from the pest than
any year since systematic tick
eradication was begun Each
county released from quarantine
is an object lesson to its neigh
bors, and in recent years popular
interest in the movement has
been growing.
One evidence of this is the ac-
ton of the people in Mississippi
in making eradication state in
stead of a county matter Un-
der this law systematic dipping
will be conducted this season in
each of the thirty counties of the
state still under Federal quaran-
tine. In this area there are ap-
proximately 45O,000 cattle and
2,7OO watts will be operated. In
addition, dipping will be carried
on in those counties which have
been freed as a whole but IN
which herds have not been clean
ed and are still under local quar-
antine.
The work in Mississippi, it is
pointed out, will drive a wedge
of tick-free area right down &c
the gulf. The army of ticks vii
be cut in half-to be destroyed
piecemeaI hereafter and a hlgf
road for cattle will be opened t
the markets Of the North.
In the other states east OF the
Mississippi the campaign of Grad
ication is to be pushed vigorousl!
hv counties. In South Caroll@'
onlv ten counties remain intest
ed and in all of these it is plan
ned to commenced systemat'
dipping on March |. Five hun
dred vats will be in operation
and approximately one hundre'
thousand cattle will be dippe'
regularly. About five thousan
ii square miles should be freed q
the end of the season.
In Georgia it is planned to ad
5,134 square miles to the 49, 90
already released. Fifty-sl
counties are now free, and Wor
work will be carried on this Sc;
son in thirty-three others. 1t
expected that lat, 800 cattle WI
he dipped in 1920 vats.
In Alabama systematic wor
in fifteen counties should set ire
300. 900 cattle and about l,o'
square miles of territory. Twel
ty-eight counties have now pee
released from quarantine an
about 500 pure-bred bulls ha'
been imported into them. Ii
grade of cattle, it is said, Is 0
ing distinctly improved.
North Carolina still has tive
ty-fve counties under quarantln
Eight Of these it is hoped to Gle;
up by active work this season;
the others vats will be built al
preparations made for acn
work in 1913.

other infested States because
