They were in gcncral the same
General GorgaS replied. The camp
sites generally were well selected. /
think the drainage and carc of the
camps generally was good, certainly
considering the character Of untrain-
ed troops in them. AS Il general rule
l think the sanitary conditions of the
camps were good"
General Gorgas said that not moro
than five men should be housed in the
l6xl6 tents used in national guard
camps. but that he had c as high
as nine living in one tent and had re-
ports of IL. Such overcrowding for
any length Of time was dangerous, he
said. and partially responsible for dis
case.

Gorsas said he believed they should

ton, is still ticky and must be for
another year
Indeed, II matters are permitted to
continue during the next twelve
months as they have in the past year,
it is hardly possible that the county
will go above the line next year. To
the contrary, it seems more prob
able that it will not, for it is said,
that more money has been spent in
this county in the work of eradicat-
ing ticks than any adjoining coun-
ty, and yet nothing like the same re-
suits have been attained.
There must be some explanation
for this situation, but, whatever
such an explanation might be, it
has to do with the past and while it
may be responsible for the present
deplorable conditions, such energy
as is pertinent to the matter may be
better directed by determined
move for immediate action.
Start Work Immediately
As we understand the situation,
there has been $4,000 appropriated
by the county commissioners for
the building OF watts, purchase OF Dip
ping fluid and all necessary maiuten-
ancc and supervision. This amount
added to the allowance from the fed
eral government and state, is more
than ample to build the remaining
vats needed and take care OF every

Immediate Achuiy Essential to
Clean County OF Ticks in 1919

not too late to do this. A contract
for the entire number may easily be
let.
With these additional % yats, it
is said, no cattle owner will have
to drive his herd more than three
miles to dip his cattle.
On Jan. ! let the entire county be
declared as having inaugurated the
systematic dipping program which
is necessary under the regulations OF
the government to reach a clean bill
OF health next year.
Watch and Check Work
This work should be closely
watched, not that those in charge
would willfully neglect their duty in
the matter, but a checking system IN
all business is not only conventional
but desirable from 4 viewpoint OF
accuracy, and the eradication OF cat
tie ticks is a business in which the
entire county i, interested. 1t is the
most important business at hand just
now.
Not only should such u system be
followed in the construction of watts,
but in the matter OF specified dip
pings. The law requires men living
in territory where systematic dip
ping has been declared, to dip his
cattle within specified pcriods-ev-
cry Is days, | belieye-and provides
penalties for those who fail to do
it. The Stacker is subject to arrest,
and the sheriff is required TO see
that the cattle are dipped in in
stances where owners fail to comply
with the law.
1t is difficult to believe that there
could be found man III the coun-
tv who would maliciously refuse TO
dip his cattle. The trouble is that the
required number OF vatS have not
been built. But no matter what steps
may be necessary to the end in view,
they should be taken; they will be
justified in cleaning the county OF
ticks.
Citizens Committee Helpful
In the old days what were known
as vigilance committees we're quite
effective in preserving law and ordN
in many instances in eNpediting just
ice. In these times citizens commit
tees have been known to further the
interests OF the general public by
concerted action. 1t is possible that
such a committee, composed OF pub
lie spirited men OF the county might
be OF benefit to themselves and the
community by taking an interest IN
the eradication of ticks.
No lair objection could be made
to committee OF representative
