Fever Tick and the Dairy Industry

Every county in South and West Texas has an IN
terest in the Parr bin, recently introduced in the
state senate. which provides for state aid In eFadica-
ton Of the fever tick, the bane Of the cattle and in
dustry Of Texas.
The Par bill provides that the state defray the
cost Of inspection and dipping materials, the county
to provide the necessary dipping watts. This is a very
equitable proposition. one Of which practically all
cattle and dairy counties viii hasten to avail them
selves II the measures becomes a law.
Efforts to inaugurate dairy farming upon an ex-
tensive scale in South Texas have been more or less
abortive. due to the prevalence Of the fever tick. IN
the DAYS Of wide ranges, when millions Of cattle
roamed the Texas plains. the loss was appalling. but
did not represent the economic loss of the present
day due to the low price or cattle OF that period.
Brought TO the Southland on cattle imported from
Spain during the days Of the conquistadorcs. The
fever tick has proved an incubus upon the cattle in
dnstry. The losses sustained by Texas stockman are
incalculable. and these losses will continue until the
state is tick free.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley is especially inter
ested In the success OF the Parr bill. That dairying
eventually win become one Of the major industries Of
this section. where feed and forage crops can be pro-
duced in ra.imum quantity at minimum cost, is OBJ
vious. However. It is apparent that establishment Of
this industry upon an extensive and profitable scale
depends upon eradication OF the fever t;c.. Dairy
men are not going % bring valuable sires or record
cows into a tick-infested region. They cannot be ex-
pected 70 develop the herds necessary 70 establish
the industry upon ? highly profitable basis or to
hazard an investment which may be wiped out IN
one or two seasons. They are entitled to protection
for their herds, and II is the duty Of the state and
county TO provide it as outlined in the Parr bill.
In the Lower Rio Grande Valley. and, IN fact,
throughout AL Of South Texas, countless Thousands
OF acres lie idle. and millions OF tons OF feed 60 TO
waste annually. every ton Of which, fed 70 beef Or
dairy cattle. would return profits to tie farmers and
add 10 the wealth Of the region.
IN the event the Parr bin becomes q law. Cam
cron, Hidalgo. willacy and Starr counties should pre-
pare to avail themselves OF It's provisions immediate
", and the entire Valley should undertake On az
gressive campaign to place this region on the map as
the greatest dairy section Of the South
