DOLLARS OR TICKS? Asking farmers whether they dasire to feed cattle or ticks, the U. S. department of agricul ture is about to embark on a spectacular campaign throughout the tick-infested region of the South to arouse farmers to take the steps that will stop the annu al tribute of $50,000,000 now be ing paid to the tick. Attractive ly colored and illustrated litera ture will be used in this work. As the result of the anti-tick campaign one-third of the tick infested area of the South, a re gion as large as the German Em pire has been cleared since 1906 but it is now desired to push the work much more rapidly than in the past as the country needs the meat the South could profitably supplv if the tick were banished and the South needs the dollars that will roll in when the tick goes out. The department stands ready to co-operate with any county that wishes to engage in this work. Agents of the Southern Railway’s agricultural depart ment will also aid the farmers in warring on the tick wherever possible and will co-operate with all agencies engaging in this work.
