the most effective results In tick eradi
cation are obtained. During March
approximately half million cattle
splashed through the dipping watts in
the state. The April reports show
that 833,434 cattle were dipped under
federal, state and county supervision.
This is very good record, say spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart-
ment Of Agriculture, when II is con
sidered that Georgia Is essentially
cotton-growing state and that the cat
tie industry has been neglected on
account of the handicaps presented by
the presence of ticks.
Now all cattle that have been
dipped In Georgia are marked with
paint, and this plan has given very
satisfactory results I'm getting 10 the

more or less opposition to tire tick.
eradication movement, Recently
meeting was held in one Georgia town
for the purpose Of protesting against
The further dipping Of cattle In the
county. A progressive farmer who Had
experienced unsatisfactory results In
raising cattle under tick conditions
read a notice Of this meeting of pro
test and Immediately wrote letter
to the president of the bank I'm the
town In which the meeting was held.
In this letter he said;
Noticing in the newspapers, that
your people meet opposition in tick
eradication, | desire to express my
actual experience on this line Before
the discovery that the cattle tick was
the source of infection, the only cause
of bovine fever, / brought many regis
tered Jersey dairy cattle to Putnam
county, middle Georgia. Later I inn
munized the northern cattle by trans
fuslng blood from cows carrying ticks
to the susceptible nerthern-bred cattle
"Whlle the treated cattle did not sub
sequently die Of cattle fever, the,proc-
ess proved harmful TO the growth and
development of the animal whose life
was saved. When the history of the
deadly tick became fully known, tick
eradication justly took precedence over
any treatment. Its ease of accom-
plishment its economy and beneficial
results that followed all emphasized
It's necessity to any community that
desires to raise cnttle.
I'm our part of the state no man. no
matter how unreasoning and bitter his
opposition to tick eradication when we
needed his moral support, can now be
found who does not fully approve the
work. No argument should carry more
weight than the full Endorsement and
! approval OF opponents when they see
the whole truth, and change from OPP
position to advocacy.
surely we who have bred cattle un.
der tick infestation, and later after
tick eradication, nre entitled as mis-
sionaries to endeayor to benefit others
who have never been without the dis
advantage Of the pest"
