C., June 9.?The eradication of the cattle tick In the * greater portion of the state of Mississippi has been accjinpanied or followed by ttye formation of a number o( county lire stock associations. Inspectors attached to the U. 8. De. partment of Agriculture^Mhre aaolatj ed in organizing twenty or these I associations for Improving the cattle industry. An example of their work is afforded by a report of the activities of the Adams County Association which was organised at Natches in * 1912. Since the county was cleared 1 of ticks and the way opened for tm' portatlons, the following purebred 1 cattle have been brought in: Breed Bulls Cowa 1 Shortho n 7 ' Hereford 6 83 1 Aberdeen Angus 8 26 Devon 4 10 Red Poll 4 8 Jerseys 4 44 ) Ayrshire 4 75 ? Total 37 346 In Clay county an association was - organized in 1913. It has already I imported twenty purebred bulls and - 16 purebred cows, and in March two - members of the association were - commissioned to buy $31,000 worth t of pure stock in Missouri. This Is 1 in line with the recommendation of r the Department of Agriculture to 1 purchase purebred bulls co-operatlvef ly for use In the various districts of s the county. I Another very active live stock as soclatlon is that of Madison county. a This was organized in March 1912 e with a membership of 20 which' has n since grown to 50. At first the ase soClation devoted itself to the extere mination of the tick, but as soon - 'as this was sufficiently far advanced a. to make tV importation of valuable II animals a sound business venture, a r vigorous campaign for the lmproveI' ment of cattle was begun. Meetings e were held throughout the county for ' the purpose of familiarising the peoa pie with the importance of either v eliminating the scrub stock entirely g of Improving their herds by the e Introduction of purebred sires. Ime proved methods of feeding were alit so advocated at these meetings. >r District aseoclatlons were organized i in the county and assisted in the purt. chase of registered hulls so that the * 3 t- small farmers might hava in retain tloa the benefit of their services. Alt' together 83 bulls and 290 cows were il- Introduced last year for breeding Is purposes. lc Reports from Tennescsee and Alat?y bams indicate that the movement la he gaining ground there alao.
