RAISING BEEF CATTLE IN ALABAMA Bv Dan T. Gray and W. F. Ward. INTRODUCTION. The work of eradicating the "Texas-fever" tick is pro- gressing satisfactoiily in the South; every year new areas are freed from the tick, and with the progress of the work there comes an added interest in all kinds of cattle pro- duction. When the ticks in a county are exterminated, renewed interest begins to be immediately manifested in the beef cattle business, as the Southern farmers now^ real- ize that the "Texas-fever" tick has been practically the only drawback to the cattle business in the past. When the tick is finally exterminated no section of the United States will be as well suited to beef production as the South, because of ils mild climate, long grazing season, and cheap lands. At the present time the South produces but a small pro- portion of the meat that her people consume.
