BROW DOG TICK 
This tick is becoming more widely distributed each year. It was reported 
fron many new localities and from four new States during 1940 — Colorado, 
Minnesota, Nebraska, and Tennessee. (F. C. Bishop;?, Bureau of Nntonology and 
Plant Quarantine, U. S. D. A.) 
GULP COAST TICK 
Throughout Florida, Gulf coast ticks were reported commonly fron live- 
stock in 1940, and some county agricultural agents ?ta„te that this post again 
served as a principal cause of scrowworns along the west coast of the Florida 
Peninsula. The occurrence of large numbers of ticks on the ears of untreated 
hogs in the woods enables the pest to continue development of large numbers of 
ticks for infestations of different animals next year. (W. N. Dove, Bureau 
of Bntonology and Plant Quarantine, U. S. D. A.) 
BAR TICK 
During 1940, the spinose ear tick increased to such proportions in the 
Bdward s Plateau area of Texas that many ranchmen deemed it advisable to follow 
a, systematic treatment of the ears of cattle to reduce the injury inflicted 
by scrowworm infestations resulting from the attacks of the ticks. Although 
the tick attacks the ears of most species of domestic livestock, cattle epnenro 
to suffer the greater injury during 1940. In sheep and cattle preliminary sur- 
veys indicated that approximately 40 percent were infested. (U. C. Cushing, 
Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, U. S. D. A.)
