Ray Powers, State vete narian, prepared for the depai meut of agriculture oi this Sta Last year the four counti bordering on the national qua antine line, Oconee, Pickei <r, Greenville and Anderson, we placed under quarantine and t inspectors proceeded to get i of the ticks. The people call t inspectors "tick-pickers," thou Dr. Powers does not say po his report. Ths work is being carried through the cooperation ot t State and federal authority the State veterinarian, being charge of the work. In 19 there were four inspectors a twojgveterinarians Jirom the f< eral bureau of auitnal indust at work in these four counti "These inspectors," says 1 Powers, "were instructed make farm to-farm inspectio examine all cattle and quart tine those premises found infe ed with fever ticks. They w? also instructed to explain to t owners of all infested cattle t object of the work, the law i der which the work was bei conducted, the method of ti eradication most applicable their individual premises and give the owners all possible sistance in the work." Daily reports were receiv trom these inspectors, givi names of owners of premises spectod, the number of cattle each farm and their conditii infested or free. The inspect ^ reinspect the farms every thi weeks, and all reports are k< on file, so there is a compli record preserved. If from t reports the attitude of a cat owner is seen to be neglectful letter is sent him and if nec sary a veterinarian is Bent to < plain the work more fully. \V1 these methods tail the cat owner is prosecuted if he mo tho quarantined cattle. thr catti.k infipkctkd.

On my oi these premises me ticks w eradicated during the tail 1907, but they were not rele ed from quarantine until sprii Then the four counties were leased from quarantine pro-, ionally, the owners being tl enabled to ship cattle anywh in the United Stntoe after epection by a federal inspect "Many have taken advantage this," says Dr. Powers, "and now shipping their cattle to i Northern markets without ' strictions and thus receiving better price for their stock tl heretofore." In June of this year eight ditional counties were placed quarantine: Abbeville, Gre wood, Laurens, Union, Chf . kee, Spartanburg, Chester ? ^ York. Fourteen inspectors the employ of the federal bur< h and five in the employ of Cle ak H&l't ? son were at work during the Bummer iti this territory, follow inn the sime methods used last o- jear in the first four counties to "Many premises now in quarre amine," says Dr. Powers, klare tree from tieks, but must be held until the advent of warm wea a' ther to ascertain this positively '' ar In Abbeville 9,873 cattle were ^ inspected and 2,647 quarantined; in Greenwood 6,993 inspected and 1,491 quarantined; in Lau I reus 8,408 inspected and 708 3|" quarantined ; iu Union 4,187 inspected and 223 quarantined; in Spartanburg (>,035 inspected and 1,454 quarantined; in Cherokee | n" 3,173 iuspected and 517 quaranr'~ tined; iu Vork ,0,276 inspected fce* and 2,255)quarantined; in Chester 68 5,370 inspected and 1,163 quarir~ antined.
