GEORGIA'S ND
AGAINST THE
CUM TICK
WASHINGTON, D. C. June 28.—1 f
adequate funds are available it is es
timated that the work of eradicating
the tick in Georgia should be com
pleted in sor 6 years. Up to the
present time 6,926 square miles have
been released from quarintine, but
much work has been done in sections
of the state which are not yet suffici
ently free from ticks to have quaran
tine regulations removed.
The cost of the work at the end of
1914 had amounted to $254,582, of
which the Federal government paid
$146,080, the state of Georgia $57,029
and the counties $51,473. The great
need at present is increased appropri
ations by the state and the counties.
During the past two or three years the
State Department of Agriculture has
cooperated actively and energetically
with the Federal authorities, but the
interest in the work of the county of
ficials has in gtneral been inadequate
to carry on the work with sufficient
rapidity. As a matter of fact, the
more rapidly the work is done, the less
it costs per square mile of territory
freed. Much of the expense is due to
the campaign of education ntcessary
to secure cooperation on the part of
the farmers, this campaign must
be carried on whether the results are
discouragingly slow or not.
For the first two years after the
work was begun, no territory at all
was freed, although the Federal gov
ernment expended over $16,000 the
first year, but the state appropriation
was only $46. The second year the
Federal government spent $7,290, and
the state and counties nothing at all.
Thereafter, however, the practical
value of getting rid of the ticks was

more thoroughly realized by the farm
ers themselves, and state and county
appropriations have been increasing
regularly ever since. The results were
immediately noticeable. In 1913, 1,969
square miles were freed, in 1914, 974,
and on March Ist of this year, 2,911
square miles.
The authorities in charge of the
work confidently believe that further
extensive releases will follow at inter
vals hereafter. Much of the work that
has already been done does not show,
of course, in the amount of territory
released, but more and more farmers
in the quarantined areas are becoming
convinced of the many advantages of
tick-free stock. In the first place, the
production of milk in dairy cattle and
the weight of beef cattle are both in
creased to a most important extent.
Moreover, it is possible to improve the
grade of stock in tick-free sections
whereas this is quite out of the ques
tion as long as the country remains
tick infested. To import a valuable
bull for breeding purposes into a tick
infested area would be a pure waste of
money for the animal would die of
fever in a very short time. The value
of the hides of tick-free cattle is also
much increased.
Some time ago the Department of
Agriculture sent to a number of rep
resentative stock-breeding farmers a
series of questions on the effect of
tick eradication in their neighborhood.
These replies show that the average
per cent of gain in weight in territory
that has been freed from ticks was
19.14, the quality of the cattle was
said to have improved about 1-4, and
the average milk production: had in
creased 23 per cent. The average in
crease in value for each head of cattle
in the eleven states affected was cal
culated to be *9.70. In California,
however, it was placed as high as sls.
These figures, of course, are not scien-

tifically exact, but they represent the
opinions of men vitally interested in
the whole matter.
hTe work in Georgia is bting car
ried on both by education and by prac
tical assistance. Literature is distrib
uted, lectures and exhibits given, and
demonstrations of dipping held. The
practical work consists of systematic
disinfection of the cattle by dipping In
arsenical baths, by excluding the ani
mals from infected pastures until the
ticks die of starvation, and by quar
antining, in those counties which have

undertaken to free themselves from
the pest, farms whose owners refuse
to consent to dip their stock. Co
operation in this connection is, of
course, a necessity for effective work.
For some reason, however, the peo
ple of Georgia have not been as en
thusiastic In the work as their neigh
bors in Mississippi. The work in that
state started a year later than in Geor
gia, and for two years, as in the case
of Georgia, no territory was actually
released from quanantine. The state
and counties, however, contributed
from the first, and by 1910 it was pos
sible to free 1,407 square miles. In
1911 only 625 square miles were freed,
but since that time the number has
been increasing steadily, until at the
end of 1914, 20,834 square miles had
been freed, and it was expected that
ticks would be a thing of the past In
Mississippi in about two or three
years.

RAILWAY CENTER
STRATEGIC POINT
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 29—The
National Geographic Society issued to
day the following description of Grad
isca, a central point upon the front of
the Invading Italian armies that are
pressing toward the Istrian lands:
‘‘Gradisca is a strategic point upon
the western branch of the trunkline
from Klagenfurt to Triest, the rail
way dividing at Goerz, one branch tak
ing its way southwest through Grad
isca and Monfalcone ,the other mak
ing a wide sweep to the southeast, join
ing again just before Triest. * The
great part of interior Austria’s com
merce with her famous seaport has
passed over this line in peace times,
and, with Istrian territory under at
tack, both branches of this northern
railway assume a primary importance
as a line for the forwarding of muni
tions of war. Montfalcome, about 10
miles southwest of Gradisca and some
four miles from the Adriatic, is situ
ated upon this rail line where it is
joined by an Italian branch from
Venice.
“Chiefly important for the defense of
northern rail communications, Grad
isca has enjoyed little or no public
attention for several centuries past
until the recent Italian invasion. On
