PLAN MIGHTY ATTACK
ON CATTLE TICK
Over 200 Federal Tick Eradicators to
Meet in Four-day Conference
At New Orleans.

"To free 100000 square miles from
cattle tick in 1918, in cooperation with
the States. -
'To eradicate all ticks in Louisiana
Arkansas, and South Carolina this
year"
To carry on eradication work that
will free Alabama and North Carolina
in 1919, Georgia and Oklahoma in 1920.
and Florida and Texas in 1921"
These are the objects of a confer
ence Of over 200 employees of the Blu
rcau Of Animal Industry, United States
Department Of Agriculture, to be held
at the St. Charles Hotel New Orleans.
La, January - to IS. Representa-
tives of the department from Wash

hoped, will leave the tick at the end

that the fever-giving, blood-sucking, ,
milk-reducing, feed-wasting tick will
be banished from the United States
and the ticks toll of $4O,Oc0,OOO a
year on TIE South will be ended for
ever.

Baltimore. Nov. "a. k. Macomber

Jennings had planned to retire to his
home in California but welcomed the
news, as did all good friends of racing
He will stick. His only regret now lies
in the fact that Mr. Macohber parted
with two of his pets. War Pennant and
War Marvel, before changing his mind
