Th» eradication of the ratti» tick
from the southern states la a problem
of prime Importance to the agricul
tural Interests of that section More
over, the good that would result from
the elimination of the tick would not
be entirely confined to the region di
recily concerned, and thus the matter
assumes to a certain degree a natlmal
Importance.
The south needs more and better
live stock and a larger dairy Industry,
and these objects would tie greatly
promoted by the destruction of the
tick The Increased production of live
stock by reason of Its Important bear

fertility of the soil, would be of dis

field crops An Incidental though Im

dairying would Im found In the dlstrl

a raah basis It enn thus b« seen that
th« benefits wbl<h would accrue to
southern agriculture from ths ««term

very great and far reaching
There are several species of cattle
ticks, but th« chief one Is commonly
called the ■'cattle" or "Tessa fever”
tick
It Is the one most frequently
found on cattle and Is much more
abundant than the other species
When the losses occasioned by this
parasite are ones thoroughly under
stood by farmers and stockmen there
will be little need for arguments In
favor of tick eradication Some of th«
losses are not directly noticeable and
consequently tiink
little Impression,
while other losses properly charge
able to the tick are frequently attrib
uted to other causes
Various writers have estimated the
annual lose due to the tick al from
140.000.00 to lioo.uno.ooo
