this costly parasite of Southern agri-
culture.
The governor of Mississippi by spe-
cial proclamation has declared Decem-
Der !, when by the release of % coun-
ties, his entire state will be freed from
quarantine, a day of special rejoicing.
At the state house he will receive the
congratulations of the United States
department of agriculture for the
states effective cooperation in Dip
ping out the tick and driving a wedge
of free territory through to the Gulf.
Congratulatory messages are to be
sent also to the governors of the other
states and be transmitted to each
county celebrating its entry into the
free cattle territory of the nation.
What Tick Eradication Means to
Freed Territories.
Before the ticks We're dipped out.
these parasites annually killed many
cattle with tick fever, steadily sucked
out of cattle vast quantities of blood
which should have gone TO make meat
or milk wasted, therefore, much of
the grain and forage fed to cattle !;
and, finally, prevented the introduce
ton of non-immune breeding stock for
the improvement Of local beef and
dairy herds. The presence of the
tick barred shipments of local cattle
from the open competition of the free
pens at the packing centers and forced
their owners to sell them at disad-
vantage from quarantine pens for i'm
mediate slaughter only.
Tick Now Dipped out of 379,312
Square Miles.
The South since 1906 has succeeded
in releasing from quarantine 379,312
square miles or over 81 per cent of
the originally quarantined area. Mis-
sissippi is the fifth state to be de-
clared entirely free, the states of Cali
fornia, Kentucky, Missouri and Ten
nessee previously having been re-
leased. Special credit. however, is due
to Mississippi because much of the
area freed was heavily infested with
tick. There remain in the entire South
349,250 square miles yet infested and
to be cleaned and released from fed
eral quarantine. The example of Mis-
sissippi, however, it is believed, will
serve as a strong incentive TO neigh
boring states to widen the wedge to
the Gulf until the tick is eradicated
from the entire South.
To Make New Record in 1918.
THAT this years record will be ex-
ceeded in 1918 and that the tick will
be banished from the nation by 1921
are strong probabilities. The states
of Arkansas and Louisiana, following
the example of Mississippi, have
passed statewide laws making the
eradication of the tick compulsory in
every infested county. The legislature
of the state of Texas has recognized
the Importance of tick eradication, al
though its laws do not make eradica-
ton compulsory in its various coun-
ties for some time to come. Indica-
lions from all the tick-i ssted states
are that in many sections the people
have grown thoroughly tired of the
toll the tick is taking and patriotical-
ly are building dipping watts and max
ing preparations to free their cattle
during the coming year.
