More Milk, More Beef, More Cattle Value
in County Reclaimed From the Fever Tick

What the eradication of the cattle
fever tick has done for one commun-
ity. and what 1t will do for other COM
munfttes that drive out this insect
enemy OF the livestock industry, Is
shown by four typical examples from
Harris county, Tex. THIS county,
which contains the metropolitan city
OF Houston, resolved in 1917, in an
election, to drive out the tick by the
use OF the dipping vat. and it did
the job so thoroughly in the dipping
season OF 1913 that the federal quar-
antine was removed from the county
on December ! OF that year
A thousand head Of range cattle are
owned by the firm Of Bertarn & DAN
iels. whose pastures are near Fair
banks, Harris county Every ami
NAL in the herd was dipped every two
weeks during the season of 1918, and
not one was lost through dipping. De-
spite the difficulty of gathering a thou
sand head at stated intervals 1t was
done regularly. and the entire herd
was put through the dipping vat in
one day. Not a tick had appeared on
the cattle up to July in 1919. The
cattle are fatter and healthier and
more valuable. and losses from tick
fever have ceased.
ping vat in Harris county was built at
Oakiawn farm, which operates a
dairy OF $50 cows. Sid Nestheimer
| owner of the farm, lost eight valuable
animals from tick fever, and he be.
came Convinced that either all. the
thicks or all the cows would have Il

and against the ticks, and volunteered
to pay half tn" cost of constructing q
! vat. which was TO be open to the
public The cows were dipped regu.
larry in 1e1. and 1918, and no tick has
| been seen this ycnr on the farm. Mr.
| Westheinlcr says that his cows have
shown an increase of at least a quart
a day in milk production since the
ticks were dipped out. Blood Is re.

German Soldiers
Occupy Lithuania
Army Preparing to March Into
Russia Under Pretense of
Aiding Admiral Kilchak
UNDER RUSSIAN LEADERSHIP

Paris.-A modernly equipped Ger.
man army of 10000 men has assembled
in Lithuania and is preparing to march
into Russia under the pretense of en-
deavoring to reach and help Admiral
kOlchak, according to Lithuanian
sources here.
Word to this effect was brought to
Paris by Chief Engineer Steibiko of the
Lithuanian railway system, who de-
clared the Gemans talked freely of a
coming understanding between Ger.
many, Russia and Japan.
In describing the situation to the
correspondent, NJ. Steibiko said that
the large German forces which had re-
occupied Lithuanian territory, from
which they have been several times
ordered away by both the Lithuanian
government and Marshal Foch, were
entrenching themselves and preparing
for march through Russia. They
call themselves "Kolchakis."
The Germans have partly evacuated
the region, but since August 1, accord
ing to NJ. Steibiko, they have been
concentrating troops anew in western
Lithuania, with their base at Shawl,
where they also have established a
general staff. Their line Of occupa-
ton from north to south is Vilkovishki,
to the mouth Of the Dubissa river;
thence to Radvilshkis, and on to jan
ishkis.
They are under the Ostensible lead
ership Of the Russian general, Berg
man, but their real commander, M.
Steibiko declares, is the German Cen
eral Won der Goltz. They control the
railway lines in all the occupied terri
tory. The Germans serving in this
army call themselves volunteers, ac-
cording to the engineer, and claim al
legiance to the all-Russian government,
thus pretending to be exempt from
orders issued by Marshal Foch or the
interallied council.
