J DIPPING VAT FOR RICHMOND Richmond Citizens Will Have a Hip ping Vat to Hip Their Cattle. Will be of Concrete. At a recent meeting of the farmers and business men of Richmond, the question of building a co-operative cattle dipping vat was discussed. The men were higly in favor of construct ing a vat that will serve the purpose of dipping their cattle, and any other livestock of their farms, that become infested with any pests. The con struction of this vat is a problem that confronts every live stock owner of the county. We need strongly built vats, that will last an average lifetime; for there is every indica tion that such equipment will be con venient to dip hogs sheep and cat tle so long as such animals are grown in this section of the state. By put ting up a co-operative vat, with three or more parties interested, the total costs are reduced considerably. The writer is only tco glad to see the growing interest manifested in the building of these vats In this section of the state. I am quite sure there will be sev eral other such dipping vats built in this county before the year is finished. By driving out the Texas fever ticks, and other live stock pests, we will soon place this region on par with the most wide awake cattle producing sections of Arkansas, or any other state. I can get a man from the De partment, who will come here and as sist in the building of these vats. Any one wishing farther information rela tive to this problem, will please get in touch with me at an early date.— H. J. Tyson, County Farm Demonstra tion Agent. -o— ACCIDENTALLY SHOT Pine Prairie Lad Receives Lead of Squirrel Shot Monday.
