THE CATTLE TICK. 
(4) If a property be tick free, then new animals should be kept in 
a separate small paddock, and systematically treated before liberation. 
State and Federal quarantine would assist in isolating ticky farms or 
tick-infested areas, and thus give the owner of a tick-free property an 
advantage in markets. More efficient control of straying stock, com- 
monly ticky, on roads and stock routes is essential. 
In addition to these methods, there ought to be a widespread educa- 
tional campaign, so that individuals may become convinced that tick 
eradication is not only possible, but that it pays. There must be a 
strong central control, independent of political interference, local 
interests, and personal consideration. It must be invested with authority 
to enforce its will. Since the whole community suffers as a result of 
the presence of the tick, a fair proportion of the cost of administration 
should be borne by the general taxpayer.
