TICK i ;ii v i>i< vi 10 v Huuthcru lUllwui Ibhucn . Folder Which WUI he Srni Fhw, Washington, D. C., April 6. ? That It pay* to ge rttd of the cattle tick 1* ybown by a bullet in Ju#t issued by the U ulted States Department of Ag riculture telling of the actual expe rience of fanner* dealing with ib? tick. A circul/ir was een-t out from the local headquarter* of tbeilfcireau of Animal Industry In Nanhvllle, Ten? nessee, to a large number of repre sentative stock men and farmers In the Southeastern States asking ofr information concerning the results o the work. One hundred replies wer received. Theso show that in the 10 year period from 1900 to 1000, In clusive, before the systematic efforts had been made to get rid of the tick, the average annual losses of cattle from tick fever amounted to ^5.3 per c;ent. In each county from which losses were reported on a per centage basis, or an averiige of 8H5 head of cattle in each county from which losses were reported In num bers, The uverage money lloss is ; estimated at $5,880.00 a year. The reports show htat since the , inauguration of tick eradication work losses have been reduced to an average of 1.3 per cent in counties reporting on a percentage basis, und an, average of 20.3 head In counties reporting hp numbers. With but 4 exceptions the replies received show ed that the average weight of cat tle has materially irtcreased since tick eradication work was started, the Increases being estimated at an average of 2 2 per cent. or 115 pounds. The reports also show an Improvement In the quality of cat ? tie resulting from gotting rid of the tick, and an Increase of from 50 to 57 per cent, in the value of steers. In addition to asking for informa tion rehuive to the results of the work against me cattle tick, the cir cular Bent out by the Deprtmenat contained an inquiry as to the bene fltH derived from using manure from cattle as fertilizer. Six of the one hundred correspondents report ed that they did not use It on/ their land. More than one-half of the others reported that its use had in creased the productiveness of their land one hundred per cent, or more and the others ' reported benefits of a .lesser degree. The experts of the Agricultural Department have found that the best method of getting rid of the tick Ih by dipping all cattle in the in the territory where the insect pre vails. The method recommended has been embodied in a folder is? sued by the Southern Railway Com pany in co-operation with the Unite States Department. Any farmer In the territory traversed by the lines of the Southern Railway who. desires a copy of this folder can obtain it by addressing Mr. \V. \V. Flnley, Pre blent, Washington, I). ('.

The cus tomary way of remedying He damag I In by replanting. This plan, In ad dition to the extra labor called for, 1b markedly disadvantageous* in that such replants mature scarcely any thing. The bud-worm is about an easily controlled as any of the peats at tacking corn, The fields where It was most troublesome laat year, should not be planted until about May 1st ? even a few days later is better. At this . time the beetles have about finished laying the eggs that produce the worms, and thus there are practically none to trouble the young corn, This may seem somewhat late for planting, but it gives ample time for the complete maturing of the corn crop ,and is of very little Inconvenience on bot tom lands. Thorough drainage tlio ofter rath er too expensive, is a very effec tive way of permanently checking bud-worm attacks. The man who rotates his crop and jturns his land deep In the fall will be little troubled by the bud-worm; because the adult laying the eggs In the spring "winters over" In among the grasses ahd litter over the Held at tacking the season before, and us ually lays its egs before wandering about to any extent in search of food. Thus the fall plownlg would bury the insect itself, and the ro tation would cut It off to a consid erable extent from the food supply to which it does injury in the spring All of these measures help.^bt^ the simplest and surest plan is to plant late ? 011 or after May i?t, on the areas which have been infested in previous years. -This ' practice alone in the majority of cases is sufficient to reduce to a minimum the injury from the bud-worm.
