V. Summary and Conclusions of the Four Years' Work. INTRODUCTION. The investigations reported in this bulletin are a continuation of the cooperative work started in 1904 between the Bureau of Animal Industry and the Alabama State experiment station. Previous re- sults will be found in Bureau of Animal Industry Bulletins 103, 131, 147, and 159, and Department of Agriculture Bulletins 73 and 110. The map (fig. 1) shows the general location of the farms in Ala- bama and Mississippi where the experiments were conducted and the location of the markets most convenient to the southern farmer and cattleman. The shaded area shows the portion of the South to which the results of this feeding work are directly applicable. In this area the climatic conditions, pasture grasses, and forage crops are very similar to those of western Alabama and central Mississippi. Since such a large portion of the South has eradicated the cattle tick, there has been quite a change in the movement of catt
