THE CATTLE TICK SMALL INSECT CARRY'S TEXAS FEVER GERMS. Territory East of Mississippi Now In fected.?Stringent Measures Must be Pursued. Mr. W. W. Finley, president of the Southern Railway, has recently written the following letter and ad dressed it to the Farmers of the South: The developmeut of profitable cat tle and dariy industries in some localities in the Southeastern States is being hampered by the presence of the cattle tick, a small insect which carries the germ of tht Texas Fever, and is otherwise injurious to cattle. The United States Agricul tural Department, in co-operation with the agricultural authorities of the States, is carrying on a syste matic campaign for the eradication of the tick. The territory East of the Mississippi River in which the Insect is now present, and from which cattle can be shipped only un der stringent quarantine regulations, embraces the entire States of Ala bama and Florida; most of the States of South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi; the Eastern counties of North Carolina; a few of the Southeastern counties of Virginia, and a few of the Southern counties of Tennessee. This area is being re duoed from time to time as counties or parts of counties are freed from the tick. The injury done by this insect is not limited to deaths among cattle caused by the Texas Fever. Animals which are infected with ticks as well as those which contract the fever and survive it are often stunted in growth and do not reach the size and weight they would otherwise at tain. As a result of the irritation and loss of blood occasioned by great number of the tick, their pres ence on beef-cattle lessens the rate in putting on flesh, and on dairy cattle decreases the amount of milk produced. As cattle shipped from the quarantined area must be handl ed under restrictive regulations, and can be sold only for immediate slaughter, they command lower prices in competitive mrakets than cattle of the same grades shipped from localities north c-f the quaran tined line. The cattie within the quarantined area also Buffers for the reason that it is hazardous to under take to improve the quality of cattle by introducing fine breeding animals from other sections be:ause such an imals are liable to contract Texas Fever and die unless protected by inoculation. The annual loss occa sioned by this insect is very large, having been estimated in various amounts, ranging from $40,000,000 to $100,000,000 a year for the en tire quarantined area East and West of the Mississippi. As a result of prolonged Investi gation and careful study ,by the ex perts of the United States Agricul tural Departmenc and of the States, methods have be?n devised by which the quarantined area can be entirely freed from this injurious insect. These methods include washing the cattle or spraying them with solu tions which kill the tick, or dipping them in vats filled with the solution. It is also possible to free a herd of cattle from the insect by removing them from one lot or field to another, from time to time, in accordance with a plan which has been mapped out by the Agricultural Department. For the reason thai the Insect may he carried from a tick infested farm that Is free from them by a single stray animal, or In some other ac cidental way, it is of relatively little advantage to any farmer to extermi nate the ticks from his herd and his fields unless all of his neighbors do likewise, -and unless rules regulat ing cattle running at large are strict ly enforced. The work of success ful tick eradication, therefore, calls for the harmonious co-operation of the State, Federal, and local ?author ities, and all individual farmers, wherever it is bein:?. carried on. This necessarily causes some temporary inconvenience in localities where it has been the practice to permit cat tle to run at large, but there would seem to be no question that the ul timate results will more than com pensate cattle owners for this incon venience. Dr. A. D. Melvin, Chief of the United States Burkau of An imal Industry, in his annual report to the Secretary of Agriculture in 1910, In referring to the benefits ob tained in those localities where the tick had been lexterminated, said: "More cattle are being raised, and a better grade of breeding stock la being introduced; calves grow faster, and cattle put on flosh more rapidly during the gracing season and igo in to the winter in better condition be- j cause of the absence of the ticks; they can be marketed without quar antine restrictions, and higher prices are being obtained; dairy cows give a larger yield of milk, and values of farm lands are Qnhanced. Aside from its own observations, the Bureau hes received from persons in the released territory numerous letters and eher expressions con firmin? the foregoing facts and testi fying to the great benefits following the extermination of the ticks." The management of tiie Southern Railway Company, believing that the extermination of the tick will lie highly beneficial to all cattle raisers within the quarantined area, is es pecially anxious to encourage this work in the territory traversed by its lines. The United States Depart ment of Agriculture has puhlished Farmers' Rulletins giving complete information as to the tick and as to the methods of destroying it which have proven most effectiv.". T shall be glad to ask Dr. A. D. Mel vin, Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry in the Department of Ag SCHOOL DIPROVEMENT PRIZES. Announcements Concerning Contest For the Year 1911.
