 An area greater than ever be- fore freed in one year from Fed. erai quarantine will be released on that day.
 The drive of the antitick forces will have sent broad wedge of free territory through the tick lines to the Atlantic Ocean. just as last year & wedge was driven to the Gulf.
 Of the 72S.565 square miles of infested area in 1906. 03 per cent will have been pronounced clean. Farmers will be free to ship their cattle to the great markets for competition on their own merits with other cattle. and not under the quarantine handicap which requires sale at buyers prices for immediate slaughter. Cattle will increase in value, weight, milk production, appear ance. health. productively, and length of life.
