Emergency fund for tick eradication approved in Texas
Austin authorities report a $150000 emergency appropriation to start tick eradication on April 1, extending to September 1 when funds are provided in the departmental bill.

Inspectors will cover the quarantine region in South and East Texas to certify cattle as tick free and dipped as required. The state will cover eradication costs in counties between the free zone and quarantine area where dipping wanes.
