TO OPEN CAMPAIGN
On CATTLE TICK
Experts Will Conduct Il Four Days
Neutrality-suspicious. Aspects in Five
States to be Considered.

Washington, Jan. pa four-day
conference of the federal and State
men in charge of the campaign OF
tick eradication west of the Missis-
sippi will be held at the Commercial
club in Dallas, Tex, on January 20
to February l. Various aspects OF
the work in Texas, Louisiana, Okla
homa, and Arkansas will be discuss
ed. In addition to the officials Of the
United States department Of agrl-
culture and the field inspectors who
will be present, addresses will be
made by E. Pegram Flower, State
veterinarian Of Louisiana; D. H. Gun

R. VI. Cow, State veterinarian Of Ar
kansas. A s;'>;la" conference for the
territory cast Jf ;..4 .,iississippi VS.
he'd in Atlanta, Ca, January S-l2.
These two conferences mark the
opening Of what, it is believed, will
prove to be the most successful year
i in tick eradication since the cam
paign began in 1906. In the last
three years the tick has been elimf-
mated in approximately 10000
square miles and this large area has
been released from quarantine A
little over 100000 square miles now
remain infested. Popular apprecia-
/ tiNn. however. of the benefits Of tick
''n9{""-i"" Is Increasing to such an
evtent that more rapid progress is
anticipated in the future than has
been possible hitherto That the ne
! cessity for tick eradication is now
thoroughly realizcd is indicated by
the passage of legislation in Louis
lana and Mississippi, making the
elimination of the tick State instead
of county matter
At the Dallas conference the fed
eral insrectors in charge in each
State will discuss systematic tick
eradication in Texas, Oklahoma, Ar
kansas and Louisiana. In addition,
the problem as a whole will be dis
cussed by officials from headquarters
in Washington.
