PROGRESS RECORDED in
FIGHT ON CATTLE TICK

WASHINGTON, Oct. O. - Efforts
which have made notable the 1919 cam
paign in Southern states against the
cattle tick, were, during August, ac-
cording to complete reports to the de-
partment of agriculture's bureau of
animal industry, continued in all the
, tick infested states. Cattle dipping
during the month reached 6,4S9, 100
which was nearly 100000 more than
during August year ago.
The aggressive work during August
says the department, gives added as
surance that 1919 win be one OF the
biggest tick k-eradication years since the
federal and state governments began
in 1906 to go actively into the fight
against the load that Southern cattle
raising has had to carry.
1t Il expected the releases of terri
tory from federal quarantine against
the tlck--to be effective Dec. will
remove restrictions from a larger
amount of territory than ever has been
liberated in the year.
Alabama had the largest number of
dipping vats available during August,
the number being 1886, Texas re-
ported the largest number of dippings.
Louisiana was second, having had L.
