CATTLE TICKS AND
THE DIPPING VAT
Get Rid Of The Ticks And Then
Raise More And Better Stock
Says Mr. Page
In letters previously written I
have tried to impress the import
ance of stock raising. Now comes
for consideration one of the most
important matters affecting stock
raising in the South. I refer par
ticulary to the cattle tick, known
as the fever tick. How he came
here and where he came from are
matters of interest but not of im
portance. He is here and has
been for years. What he is doing
and how to handle him are the
questions. The cattle ticks get
oi the cattle during the summer.
They suck the blood and poison
the cattle, sometimes the cattle
die and sometimes they do not. If
the cattle die they bcome a total
loss to the farmer. If they don’t
they are a partial loss anyway. A
fresh cow will give a quart more
milk when she is free from ticks
than when she is not. A steer
will fatten when he is free from
ticks;he won’t when he is covered
with ticks. A calf will thrive and
grow when free from ticks; it
won’t when infected with ticks,
but will make a runt and maybe
live through the winter to die in
th«» <nrinif
Four-fifths of Arkansas is under
quarantine by the National Gov
ernment against shipping out cat
tle except under certain restric
tions on account of the cattle. Do
you know the effect of this? It
effects the price of the cattle.
Cattle from the qu arantined sec
tions will not bring within three
dollars per head as much as from
the other sections, on an average.
This applies to Arkansas. We
have in the quarantined district,
750,000 head of cattle. Thus you
see the presence of the cattle tick
in four-fifths of the state is cost
ing the people of Arkansas $2,250,
000. We as farmers would be
over two million dollars better on
in the value of our cattle if we
had no cattle ticks in the State.
Just think of it; enough money to
' buy winter shoes for all the child
ren in Arkansas! Enough to buy
milk to raise all the babies in Ark
ansas! Enough to buy a dress for
! all the mothers in Arkansas!
Enough to buy a saddle for all
the boys in Arkansas! Enough to
place a Bible and spelling book in
the hands of every man woman
and child in Arkansas! Enough
to glid every church spire or to
garnish the festal board in every
home with fowl and food and
flowers on Thanksgiving day.
What a toll we are paying for
our neglect in not getting rid of
the pest.
Since the work of tick eradica
tion was begun in 1909 about 2C
per cent of the State has been
cleared of the tick. Let us edu
cate and organize and work as
hard and fast as possible to get
the other eighty per cent. The
work of eradication has been
going on in some parts this year
Let us try to get it extended to
all parts. We should have a gen
eral law that would require the
organization of tick eradication
districts, and permit the assess
ment of taxes on every head of
kine for eradication purposes.
Let’s go to work with a will
against the cattle ticks. Let’s help
to get dipping vats built in every
neighborhood. Regular dipping
will soon get rid of the ticks. If
ydu want information about mak
ing dipping vats or the dipping
mixture, write me. By all means
let us have concerted action in
this movement, and let’s do some

Cattle are high and going higher
and we can’t afford to overlook
the opportunity that stands be
fore us for making profit in the
cattle business.
