(► Farmers Are Warned Of Screw worms ‘ f rR. Tar Heel livestock owners were warned this week by two State College atuhorities to get ready for another serious battle against screww’orms. George D. Jones,, extension en- tomogolist, and J. C. Osborne, associate professor of animal in dustry, said mild winter weather apparently has permitted adult screwworm flies to survive as far north as central North Caeplina, and a survey made recently by ITorl^rnl onrl Cfaf.o showed tiiat aettve wound infes tations already had occurred in several eastern counties. Some 50,000 cases of screw- worm attack were reported in the State last October, Jones and Osborne said. Few of the affect ed animals died, but losses were high in terms of labor needed in treating the cases as well as per manent injury to the animals. Jones and Osbome^ said live stock in the uppper Piedmont and mountain counties probably will not be threatened until late May and June, but central, sou- Alma Jean Haithcox, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D.

' ' i HOKE HIGH SCHOOL NEWS ’ (By the Pupils) . ♦ ■ Rehearsals are progressing for the performance of “Almost Eighteen,” a three-act comedy, to be presented at the high school auditorium oh Frjday evening, May 12.

Renn, will present their annual concert. “Ehe Ekoh”, the high school (Continued on Page 10) A' them, and eastern areas can ex pect livestock wounds to be in fested at any time now. The po pulation of screwworms is ^ low at present, they said, but as the season advances the flies will increase. By^June or July the number of flies may exceed the total reported last fall. Prevention and treatment of screwworm infestation consists of prompt application of Smear 62, a remedy made according to re commendations of Federal and State entomologists. The prepar ation contains materials which kill the maggots, aid in healing, and also repel the flies. Smear 62 is inexpensive and no livestock man can afford to be without a container of it at all times, Jones and Osborne said. The best assurance, they added, is to keep all wounds covered w'ith this mixture. Dehorning and castrating wounds should receive proper preventive treatment at all times and should be watched carefully in areas where infesta tions occur. Newborn animals and animals receiving wound treatment should be kept under close observation for a few days or until healing is complete. DDT or other sprays used for housefly control will not repel the screwworm fly,' the State College authorities warned. Most dealers in insecticides handle i, Smear 62. If any difficulty is en countered in obtaining this ma terial, the farmer should consult his county agent or veterinarian or write to the Extension Entom ologist at State College for in formation. The screwworm maggot, Jones and Osborne said, burrows into the live flesh. The adult, which is a fly, lays eggs at the edge of a wound and the small maggots soon hatch and enter the flesh In the wound.
