Washington, d. c., May 29.-"Tick
eradication has meant successful
dairying and beef production for our
community"
So states a petition presented to
the Commissioners Court of Harris
County, Texas, by farmers who want
to reap the full benefits from tick
eradication by cleaning out the COM
paratively few cattle parasites that
remained when the county was found
TO be sufficiently free from ticks for
release from Federal Quarantine.
1t is the policy of the United States
Department of Agriculture not to
hold under Federal quarantine any
counties or larger areas when only
scattered areas within the territory
are infected by ticks, but after Guar
antine is removed it is necessary that
the remaining ticks be cleaned out
before the community viii be free
from dancer of heavy manifestation.
The Harris County petition follows !:
1--WE, the undersigned citizens of
Aldine Community of Harris County,
Texas, do hereby petition your honor
able baby to provide sufficient funds
to complete 70 work Of tick eradica-
ton in this county.
"The dipping of our cattle and
cleaning them of ticks last year saved
US many dollars both in increased
milk supply and beef production. As
Just one concrete example, Mr.. John
Shannon, one of our citizens, was
getting 16 gallons of milk from the
milking of SO tieky cows before he
started dipping. and now he is getting
40 gallons of milk from 23 Of the
same cows. In short tick eradication
has meant successful dairying and
beef production of our county,
so we all, in one accord, hope that
the few ticks that remain in the coun-
ty may be cleaned up this season.
and that the funds may be provided
for this purpose"
The petition is signed by the Aldine
Farmers Cooperative Association,
through its president, C. A. Anderson
and list secretary, w. A. Roush, and
by IA other farmers

boards were ignorant of the actual
diseases suffered, and that mony of
the boards were lacking in sympathy
and generosity.
Sir Douglas described the action of
the war office in placing officers on
insufficient half pay as inhuman, for
on the present allowances the wives
and families of officers lived in alb

education to their Children. The fieldi

To Sell Surplus
Sugar At Cost

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Sale OF
21,000,000 pounds of surplus sugar
now held by the war department has
been authorized, it was announced
yesterday, at minimum price to be
fixed by the United States sugar
equalization board to cover the cost
to the government. The only con-
dition of sale will be that none of this
stock is exported. Investigation hav-
ing shown that the principal shortage
at present is in states east of the Mis-
sissippi, efforts will be made to find
purchasers in that section. .... .
The stocks comprise 100000
pounds in storage at New Orleans and
7, 100000 pounds at San Francisco.
''The export market afforded a
higher figure than the war depart
ment will realize through this method
of marketing" the announcement
said. "Offers of ten cents per pound
have been made for the entire sur
plus fexporters, but the secretary
of war, realizing that shortage of
sugar existed in the United tSates du-
ring the canning season, desired that
The American public be given the ben
