' Owners Advised to Erect ^a*8, ing Editor News:?Last spring, fur le year ago, there was a meet- tie g in the town of Lancaster, at kuj hich an organization was urj rmed under the name of "The fu, ancaster Live Stock and Tick the radication Association," of j ^ hich I had the honor to be the ected n resident. tnossiblv I lould have said the misfor- he ine.) The prime object of this ganization was to get the peo- noj e of the county interested in col le eradication of a pest com- for lonly known as the "Texas shj sver tick," by lending our loral support and, at the same m\ me, raising some money for js lis purpose. The last general sm ssembly of this state, recogizing the need in the entire ft ;ate of money to carry on this ork, passed a bill allowing the soi immissioners of each county th< ) appropriate the sum of $100 jos )r the purpose of assisting in tal lis work. The Clemson au- th< lorities who have charge of ca| lis matter, in connection with tic le United States department an f animal industry, notified us st{ lat they would take up this ork in Lancaster county pro- pe< ided we could get the county wi uthorities to appropriate $100. pU he county commissioners thi greed to give us this money but ev< nth such strings tied to it that y0 ; could only be used in killing Coi he ticks. iiu Now Dr. Quigley, who is in no harge of this work, says if we jUi eally want it done, we must do mt omething immediately to show t0 hat we are interested in the rei ;nrk ns Uipv rln not p:ivp to o-n nywhere they cannot get the en o-operation of the people, and ha hat unless we can do something fu dthin the course of a week, to sa aise some money for the btiildig of vats, he is going to ? ecommend to the board of govrnors that this county be left i ntil later and they proceed to st0 ther counties where the peo- ^ le will take an active interest Ug( i the work. It might be well ma o say right here that our sis- ? er counties across the river, rork and Chester, are now ber?g worked and will soon be eleased from quarantine and *c? e at liberty to ship cattle any- mi fliere in the country. soi Now the question before the Iie eople of Lancaster is: Shall ? re sit still and see other counies go ahead in their progresive ways while we do nothing, r on the other hand shall we Fe ake one step in the right direc ion by helping the authorities 'ho have this matter in charge nd so get rid of this pest in ? he course of one year? There \y. ; nothing unreasonable, about his for I have killed what ticks Nvil had on my cattle in that space f time without the assistance pa f any one, but, as is well Til nown, the majority of the peo- ? le will not take pains to do N' verything just right unless r. here is some one to see to them. 13. CJ Possibly it would not be amiss __ ere to quote something from kg Ir. A. D. Melvin. chief of the 1 ureau of animal industry, who ??< ays, speaking of the Texas Bver ticks: "For many years e. hese ticks, which transmit the C. isease of cattle known as ? exas or tick fever, have been K(: cause of heavy loss and a jgji reat handicap to live stock an< using in the Southern part of A* le United States. The proress so far made, however, in j?ai le co-operative campaign by ? lis department and state au- FO lorities with the object of $l* impletely eradicating this pest ]>b 'om the country demonstrates ? lat it is entirely possible to ac- N'? implish that result. It is of J; reat importance for the sue- fVoi ?ss of this undertaking that cas le efforts of the officials should 3 supplemented by individual ^ ork by the farmers." Jsu, 1 know that spvpml nf mif irmers who have cattle on 1 u * hich there are ticks, are I 1,1,1, linking of building vats and. J see ? course, the more that will *'ai1 jild their own vats the better will be, but we are after rais- \ ,, g enough money to build a few a s? f these vats, so distributed -7? rer the county that they will 1 irve the best interests. It1 an(j ould be well and for the good on! the whole county if those j pia? ho were contemplating buildg vats would advise me as I m','" n in communication with the, ithorities, and if they are No' vare of the vats they will be 1 ad to come in and take charge tur< the county. If those who cerj rs. FEBKUARY .19, 1913. nt to build the vats but do know how, will advise me 1 1 1 notify the proper authori- i s and they will come and | lerintend the erection of tse vats free of cost, providlabor and materials are nished. To those of the catraisers who do not desire to Id vats, we are making an rent appeal to contribute to a id which will be used for it purpose in the way which lave mentioned above. To ; man who has cattle but no ks, we are also appealing for is just as much interested in ; matter as any one else, if i t more so, in getting our inty from under quarantine, I as it now stands, no one can ; p cattle from this county infree territory without a per- | t, and in addition to that it i a good deal like a case of i allpox?it is more dangerous ; the fellow who hasn't it, than ' is to the fellow who has. \ few years ago I bought ne cattle that had ticks on ' jm; within a month I had | t two and a great many were J cen sick but did not die. Since | it time, until a year ago, my i :tle have been infested with i ks, and while I have not lost y more, still the cattle will ly poor and not thrive well, i Now we have eight or ten 3ple who are going around th subscription lists for the rpose of raising money for is fund. It is not likely that erybody will be seen, but if u have the interest of the unty and welfare of the cattle lustry at heart, and you do t see any of these gentlemen, st send such amount as you ly think proper to myself or Mr. J. Clarke Robinson, sectary. If we are so unfornate as not to be able to raise ough money, all that which s been contributed will be rended to the parties giving h me. V J.
