The Fight Against the Fever Tick.

L. s. department of Agriculture Bullctin.l
The amount of territory released this year in
nine Southern States from the federal quaran-
tine against the cattle fever tick was 79,217
square miles, the greatest record since the
State and Federal Governments began to fight
the tick parasite i'll 1906
Another record, too, was broken this year.
The number of cattle dipped in all tick infested
territory during the first ten months of 1913
was 81, SCI, exceeding the number in any
previous year and by more than 1OOOO,OOO the
number for the entire year Of 1917.
Officials of the Bureau Of Animal Industry,
I. S. Department Of Agriculture, emphasize the
direct relation between these figures. Where
there are many cattle dippings release Of terri
tory from quarantine is much more probable
than where there are few. Where there are no
clippings, there is little or no hope. Releases
follow the dipping vat.

Famine Would Defeat Our victory.

From the National Food Administration Head
quarters in Washington, there has been issued
circular urging the people of the nation to
save food in every possible way that it may be
shared with the war-devastated countries of
Europe. Stressing the necessity for this food
saving campaign. a Washington dispatch of last
Friday contained this message from the Food
Administrator:
Conservation is absolutely vital to the re-
lief of stricken Europe. Famine is the mother
Of revolt and anarchy. II we allow hunger to
take it's toll of life in Europe, then the red
scourge of revolt is bound to spread and we will
see definite collapse of the peace for which we
fought and bled. We entered the conflict with
the avOwed purpose OF establishing world peace
and if we allow this to be disrupted by uprisings
and anarchy. we will have destroyed the very
thing fer which we entered the fray and which
is in sight.
During the coming year we must send
twenty million tons of food to Europe-practi-
cally the limit of loading capacity ut our ports
The magnitude Of this undertaking may he bet

experts of less than six million tons per year.
