.GOOD PROG | RE $.
 MADE IN BATTLE. AGAINST THE TICK.
Cattle Pest Being Eradicated in Southern StateS-Dip- ping Does Little Dam-
 age to Stock
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD Wushinpfan n ~ nae Ig i

The report of the bureau of ani- mai Industry, United States depart ment of agriculture. for the fiscal year, 1922. shows good progress in the work of eradicating the cattle fever tick. During the year, 2s,563 square miles. in Georgia, Louisiana. North Carolina and Texas were re- leased from federal quarantine, mak- ing a total of 523,ss7 square miles that have been freed of cattle ticks since the work began In 1906.
 The work of the last fiscal year showed 4s.oSs,Oo5 clippings of cattle for the eradication of ticks. As an indication that the dipping of cat tie Is not attended by any great loss or danger. only seven deaths ee- cured In every 100000 cattle dip ped and handled. besides which only five In every 1,000,000 were injured.
 Local officials Active
 The number of cattle clippings in Texas shattered all records since the beginning of systematic tick eradl- cation in 1906. During June. the last month of the fiscal year, more than 6,600,000 dippings were made there and about 10000 vats were in operation. These results were possible largely through operation with the bureau by state and local officials and livestock owners.
 As the territory infested by the cattle tick Is gradually diminished under the combined efforts of the federal, state and county authorities to starve and poison this destructive insect out of existence, the diff culties In the way of further rapid reduction of the area increase. In territory already released from quar- entine there remain here and there few infested premises of centers of tick infestation which must be held under control until the last tick can be destroyed. This requires police duty and makes 1t more diff cult to concentrat efforts in certain areas to such a degres as was done at the beginning of the work
 Requarnntine Counties
 When local officials. because of lack of funds or indifference to com plete tick eradication, fail 10 main tain quarentne over the few re- malnlng tick-infested herds and to complete the eradication of ticks in the released areas, 1t is necessary from time to time to rAquarantine some counties and parts of coun- ties In order to protect tick free areas in adjacent counties and states from reinfestation.
 The United States department of agriculture has found 1t necessary to issue an order. effective Decem- Der 10. 1922. requarentinins 13 eeun- ties and parishes, or portions thereof.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-12-17

In Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, total area of s.725 square miles This action became necessary because of the lack of sufficient state or federal funds to continue extensive police duty over the movement of cattle from those areas. This order also covers the release of 10 counties in Georgia. comprising 4.S47 square miles,
 Counties requarantlnel In the past have. in nearly every case, found the ways and means to finish the work for the results obtained by tick free counties in increased pro- duction of beef and dairy products amply justify the expenditure neces- sary for complete destruction of the tick

Contract Awarded

The announcement that the con- tract had been awarded byN the city commissioners and the board ot reve- nue for the paving of the Avenue F road was read with much interest by the citizens of Ensley and Pratt City. The project is to cost sS1, ,306.95 and 65 per cent will be paid by the county and the remainder by the city
 The paving will start at Avenue F and Nineteenth street and run into the Bankhead highway on the other side of Pratt City and will be con- structed with sheet asphalt with a concrete curb. The Ensley real estate board has taken very active part in getting the right-of-w way titles as the road was held up for some time before they were secured. While it Is not stated just when the actual work will start on this new road. the citizens of this district are very hopeful that it will be in the near future as this road has a great deal of traffic over 1t at all hours and 1t Is badly In need of repairs
