ping regulations.
 The law relating to this proposi- tion will be found in act No. 86 of the legislature of 1915, beginning on page 338 of the official printed acts of that year. This act creates the Northwest Arkansas Cattle Tick Eradication District, composed of cer- tain counties in the state and includ- ing Faulkner county. Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 provide for the assessment and collection of tax of five cents per head on all neat cattle in the dis trict for. period of five years.
 Section 6 of the act reads as fol- lows: ''That the enforcement of the laws of this state in relation to cat tie tick eradication and protecting the counties placed entirely or pro- visionally above the federal quaran- tine line in this district is hereby vested in the board of control of the Arkansas agricultural experiment station, with full power and authority to promulgate the necessary rules and regulations for that purpose and to provide penalties for the infraction
The log cabin Democrat., 1917-03-14

or disobedience of any such rule or regulafion Or order made by such
 board, and to enforce obedience to such rules and regulations"
 It will thus pe seen that cattle dipping will become compulsory whenever the board of control of the
 agricultural experiment station of Arkansas (which is affiliated with the forces of the United States depart
 ment of agricultural shall make an order to. this effect. No such official
 order has as yet been promulgated
 in this county, but it is unofficially announced that such an order will be issued to become effective about the middle of May of this year, and the
 United States department of agri- culture has already sent one of it's agents, Dr. w. A. Mcdonald, into the county to inform the farmers of the work to be done in tick eradication this year and to induce them to pre- pare vats and be ready to begin dip- ping when it is ordered.
 The legislature has clothed this board with the power to make rules and regulations, to enforce them and to provide penalties for disobedience of these rules and regulations. The rules and regulations adopted by the board therefore would have the same binding force as if they had been incorporated in the statutes. The le- gality of the statute has been ire quently tested in the courts and, the Log Cabin Democrat is reliably in- formed, has been sustained at every point.
 The tick eradication idea is not a new one, but it has been thoroughly tested and found to be of great benefit wherever carried out. The United States government, it may be stated with certainty, would not eX- pend immense sums of money in work that would accomplish no good and if tick eradication had not thor oughly demonstrated it's worth, it would have been abandoned many years ago. But, whatever personal opinion may be held on the question, the people of Faulkner county are law-abiding citizens, and the Log Cabin Democrat is sure that when compulsory cattle dipping is made effective in this county it will be observed.
The log cabin Democrat., 1917-03-14
THE LAW GOVERNING
 TICK ERADICATION

Many readers have requested that the Log Cabin Democrat publish the law governing the tick eradication work in this county and cite the statutes under which persons may be forced to dip their cattle at stated intervals. It has been claimed by some opponents of tick eradication that there is no law under which any penalty may be inflicted upon one who refuses to comply with the dip
