and yet it is one of greater finan-
cial importance than any other one
thing in the state.
The cattle raisers of Oklahoma
annually lose by reason of the cat-
tle tick and Its protected domicile
in one-half of the best stock grow-
ing sections of the state, upward
of $2,u00,000.00 in the difference in
price between southern and quar-
antine cattle and those produced
north of the federal line.
The federal government expends
from thirty-five to forty thousand
dollars each year to combat the
tick in Oklahoma. The state of
Oklahoma appropriates from twen-
ty-five to thirty thousand dollars
annually and the counties through
which Use battle line runs spend
from fifty to one hundred thousand
dollars more each year fighting al-
most inch by inch to drive this
pest from their confines. At the
present rate of progress it will
take twenty years of this costly
warfare to eradicate the tick and
redeem Oklahoma from the curse
of Texas fever, which more than
anything else has destroyed the
cattle industry in the state and
stands as a threatening menace to
lta present revival and future
growth. The constitution of the
state took from the legislature the
power to deal with animal indus-
try and animal quarantine and
lodged it in th* hands of the state
board of agriculture, and that body
under statehood adopted the policy
of the old Oklahoma Territory Llvo i under the auspice* of th
Stock Sanitary Commission and be- . Mrn's Democratic league.
