Dancy's Letter
AT the regular June meeting of
the commissioners court held in
the courthouse this morning, the
matter Of tick eradication in Cam
eron county was taken up and dis
cussed. and while on resolution was
spread upon the minutes. I eXepress
the unanimous sentiment Of every
member Of the court when I state
that the commissioners court OF
Cameron county is in favor Of tick
eradication, but I wish to make the
following statement:
Years ago. upon the demands Of
the HONORABLE Live Stock Sanitary
Commission. OF which Homo. J..
Boog-Scott was chairman. n az
the federal authorities. we nut on
TICK eradication in this county. and
spent some $4,000 or $4,000 which
money was largely wasted. trying to
eradicate the cattle tick or the
county.
In many instances we did good.
as at one time we had the tick erad-
lcated or almost completely eradi-
Gated in the farming and irrigated
section. We protested the attempt
70 eradicate the tick in the brush
land, as we believed II impossible on
account of deer and other animals
and on account of lack of access NJ
roads at that time. This condition
has been changed and 1 believe II
possible to eradicate the tick Of this
county and I am strictly for such
TICK eradication. as I believe IN the
possibilities OF this county for dairy
ing.
Now. 20 put on tick eradication
and not keep it up will perhaps be
money wasted.
Therefore. the commissioner,
court OF this coIionty. while desiring
20 put on tick eradication and 70 be
Isted as one Of the first counties.
oeSlre 70 Know more fully just where
We are with regard to its mainte-
nance.
TICK eradication in this county
means a great deal more than II
means to the range country. n We
put 1t on and encourage our peo-
pIe 70 bring in high class and high
priced dairy stock. and then il is
cropped, our moneys. as well as the
state moneys. will be worse thar
wasted. For that a I am sure
you Will appreciate our position that
W. Delleve we had better. before
Passing an ironlbound resolution.
Walt until the second called session
o. the legislature adjourns or until
az least the appropriation bin i
passed and we find where we are IN
regard to the situation.
