During the early twentieth century, Arkansas participated in the tick eradication effort of the United States Department of Agriculture. Initiated in response to "Texas fever", a tick born illness that jeopardized the state's cattle industry, the eradication program endorsed the widespread construction of concrete dipping vats and use of arsenical dipping solution to bring Arkansas above a mandated quarantine line. This paper explores the material culture of tick eradication and the impact of Federal bureaucracy on free range herding and traditional Arkansas lifeways. Lastly, issues of significance and eligibility for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places are addressed.
