tions of this destructive pest in
livestock, reporting cases
promptly.
Although none have been re
ported in North Carolina since
1957, Dr. Hal J. Rollins reminds
cattlemen that all but this state,
South Carolina and Floridd in
the southeast reported some
area infestations in 1961. He
said that state and federal vet
erinarians should stay on the
alert, and urged that they and
local veterinarians along with
livestock owners report any
suspected cases immediately.
Specimens should be sent to the,
state veterinarian for positive!
identification.
States in the southeast screw- j
worm eradication area are
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi and Louis
iana east of the Mississippi

Dr. Rollins said that starting
on May 1,1962, all livestock,
including dogs, moving into or
through the above states are re
quired by iederal regulations to

that they are free from screw

show the number, breed and sex
of livestock, point of origin,
name and address of owner and
shipper as well as that of the
approved abattoir, and also state
that they are being moved for
immediate slaughter purposes
only.
The screwworm is a highly
destructive pest and can kill an
animal in ten days if allowed
to go untreated. Dr. Rollins
says animals should be examin
ed regularly and if eggs or
maggots are found they should
be placed in rubbing alcohol
and forwarded to the state vet
erinarian. ,
Wounds suspected of infesta
tion should be treated with EQ
335, smear 62, Korlan or other
recommended substances. Ani
mals, if suspected as hosts, can
be sprayed with Co-Ral or
Korlan or other suitable pesti
cides. Livestock sprayed with
these products should not be
slaughtered or used for human
food without observing the wait
ing period specified in the di
rections on the spray material.
The usual waiting period is ap
proximately 30 days, Dr. Rollins
said.
In the southwest sexually
sterile male screwworm flies are
being air-dropped in infested
areas. When sterile males mate
with native female flies, eggs
deposited by the females do not
hatch.

Agronomists Say Poor Liiping
Threatens N. C. Farm Profits
If North Carolina farmers are
going to reach their farm in
come goal of $1.6 billion by the
end of 1966, they will have to
do a better job of liming.
• This is the opinion of soil ex
perts from North Carolina State
College and the North Carolina
Department of Agriculture who
have studied recent liming
trends in the state.
In fact, a newly completed
survey shows that North Caro
lina farmers are using less than
60 per cent of the lime they
need for maximum yields and
profits.
The percentage of adequately
limed soil varies widely across
North Carolina, however, ac
cording to N. C. Department of
Agriculture agronomist C. D.
Welch, who conducted the sur
vey.
Coastal Plain farmers, for
example, are applying only one
third of their annual lime needs.
Piedmont and Western North
Carolina farmers, on the other
hand, are applying four-fifths
of their lime needs.
Welch attributes mu:h of this
difference to the present Agri
cultural Conservation Program.
Under the program, farmers are
eligible for government assist
ance in liming land-conserving
crops, such as forage. Tradi
tional row crops of the Coastal
Plain are not eligible for this
assistance.
Welch reports that more and
more Coastal Plain farmers are
purchasing lime without tl)e
government assistance.
In 1960, for example, Coastal
Plain farmers used 155,000 tons
of lime, only 65,000 tons of
which were bought with ACP
help. During the same 'year,
Piedmont farmers received gov
ernment help on 295,000 tons
of the 325,000 tons they applied.
Mountain farmers received help
on 85,000 of the 95,000 tons they
used.
Welch estimates that a total
of 575,000 tons of lime were ap
plied in North Carolina in 1960.
He figures that Tar Heel farm
ers could have profitably used
1,000,000 tons, however.
In the Coastal Plain, the an
nual lime need has been placed
at 480,000 tons. Some 155,000

Dr. Gene Younts of the Slate
College Soils Department says
the value of lime has been rec
ognized for centuries.
Younts points, out that most
soils in North Carolina are acid
unless they have been limed.
In addition to native acidity,
