Abstract:

In the 1920s, the State sponsored a tick-eradication program. The program required farmers to run their cattle through a narrow concrete vat, completely submerging the animals in a tick-killing solution. During this time of controversial laws regarding animals, Duplin County considered building a wall around the entire county so that it would not have to pen all of its animals.
