Duplin County Farm Agent Ver non Reynolds also said today that screw-worm infestation in Duplin is by far the worst it has been since the outbreak in 1950. He advises farmers to examine their livestock carefully. 'It will be bad from now until real cold weather,' he said. County Agent Joe Koonce, Jr., said today that more farmers have reported screw-worm infestation in Lenoir County recently and that care should be taken to prevent wounds in animals. Koonce and Henry Ramseur, as sistant county agent in charge of livestock, point out that farmers should remember that to become in fested, an animal must have a wound on which the screw-worm fly can lay its eggs. Such wounds usually result from castrating, branding, marketing, de horning, shear cuts, accidental cuts, bruises, or scratches, or bites from ticks or blood-sucking flies.' The screw-worm is the larva or maggot, of a blow fly. This fly is deep blue with reddish eyes and faint black stripes on its back, re sembling a bluebottle fly. The screw-worm fly lays eggs In the shingle like masses (wounds in Community Development Club Judging In Duplin To Be Held Here Oct. 21-22 Duplin County Community De velopment judging will be held Oc tober 21-22.

Teams which came up against Wallace, that was before the team became known as Wallace-Rose Hill, knew more about his ability than did the spectators who were amazed at his running ability. At the tme he was playing, I had returned from college and was following the Mount Olive team very carefully. Saw all the Mount Olive games, including the Wallace affair. When Carlton was a senior, Wallace really handled Mount Olive. Mount Olive was supposed to have a pret ty good team that year, and did. Harry Cooke was among the players, and he was pretty good. I recall a play in the game in which three of the Mount Olve players went in to tackle Carlton as he ran the sidelines. He ran high and hard and was diffi cult to bring down. On this particular play, he ran over all three Mount Olive woudl-be tacklers like a steam roller and into pay-dirt, which Was still 25 yards away. Last week, he was voted the outstanding player in the ACC for his playing against Virginia for the Duke Blue Devls. It is good to hear of local boys making good, es pecially on a national powerhouse. At Duke, Carlton has worked hard. All reports from Duke indicate that he is respected and liked by all the players. They know he is the key to a great future for the Duke Team. ' Since Ace Parker has been backfield coach at Duke he has had Some great backs. But, he says Carlton has the potential of being the greatest back he has e"er': coached. That is probably the biggest compliment a coach canr pay a player. i He has set a new scoring mark for the ACC in ference with his 26 points against Duke. That is liMy i to standi a long time, unless he breaks his own record. ;.'f We,'' too, would like to pay, our tribute to a f'n and talented football player, and a native of Duplin and Wallace, Wray Carlton; Infestation animals) gluing them to the animals skin at the edge of the wound or to any .scab on the wound. Each -mass contains about 200 eggs. The eggs hatch in 12 to 24 hours, and the young larvae invade the wound, feeding close together and forming p 3ckets in the flesh. They feed with the pointed end, or head, downward and the rear exposed for breathing. Ramseur says that farmers can prevent the spread of screw-worm in their cattle and hogs by keeping a close check on them. 'Many times an animal will receive a scratch around fences or going through gates and it will go unnoticed. This is where the trouble starts, especially during a year in which the infestation is rising,' Ramseur said . The outbreak in Eastern North Carolina usually occurs during to bacco season. Farmers usually will let their cattle go unnoticed longer during the summer, 'but that Is the time when infestation is most like ly to begin in this area,' Ramseur said. A screw-worm infestation will al ways injure the animal, and may kill it. It is 'very important' to pre vent such infestations. In a bulletin released by the XT. S. Department of Agriculture, it (CONTINUED ON BACK) in Kenansville. Inducement prize winners will be determined at that time.
