Excerpt from Twenty-Fourth Annual Report of the Bureau of Animal Industry: For the Year 1907 The fiscal year ended June 30, 1907, witnessed an unprecedented increase in the work of this Bureau. This was due mainly to the extension of the meat inspection under the new law of June 30, 1906, and partly to the work of eradicating the southern cattle tick, which was begun in the summer of 1906. The large and rapid growth dur ing the year is well shown by the increase in the number of employees and in the expenditures for the maintenance Of the work. Both Of these items were more than doubled, the Bureau force having grown from on July 1, 1906, to a year later, while the expandi tures rose from for the fiscal year 1906 to for the fiscal year 1907.
