Probably seven years ago the public
spirited citizens Of our community got
together and constructed our present
dipping vat for local cattle fever tick

thusiastic; liked to see the cows plunge
the pesky ticks to determination; the
children would go and hunt cows to
see them jump through the vat close
to the center of the populace; the
ladies were frequently present to see
their favorite l,ovines take plunge.
With all this turnad-loose enthusiasm
we soon found ourselves practically
tick-free. Then the interest in the
dipping began to lag; the Importance
Of dipping clean cattle was not para
mount and soon l noticed three little
yearlings, belonging to a negro, feeding
along the railroad, and as the territory
they came from was infested, in a
short time the entire stock of our COM
munity was again infested. Then the
big opportunity of a lifetime presented
itself-the supervision of the Govern

tive citizens. went in whole -heartedly

country-then, the task apparently fin

of thunder out of clear sky, ticks by
the thousands appeared everywhere.
