Screw worms are definitely known to be present in sever al southwestern counties of South Carolina this year ac cording to W. C. Nettles, Ek tension Entomologist, Clemson Agricultural College, who has also received reports of cases of maggots in wounds of ani mals in widely scattered sec tions of the state. It is, there fore, advised that animal own ers inform themselves concern ing preventive and control measures for screw worms and then watch animals closely for infestation. In South Carolina, trained men in the employ of the Un ited States Bureau of Entomol ogy are conducting demonstra tions in screw worm control in the infested area. This worl is being performed in coopera tion with interested state ag encies. W. H. Clark, in charge of the Bureau, is station at Walterboro. The information given below is copied from an article on the screw worm and tells ol control measures recommend ed: It was prepared by Theo, L. Bissell, Entomologist of the Georgia Agricultural Experi ment Station, formerly con nected with the United States Bureau of Entomology, and was published in June 1st, 1935 is sue of Southern Cultivator: control Measures “Control of the screw worm,1 agreed upon by the United States Department of Agricul ture and the various agencies, may be summarized as follows: Examine animals regularly and frequently (daily if possi ble) May 1st to November 15th ( for any kind of .cut and treat! according to need. Use ben-. zol (90 percent commercial pure benzine is no more satis factory and is more expensive) to kill worms in wounds, and pine tar oil (specific gravity 1,- [ 005, acid fee and dehydraed) on the wounds to repel flies. Renew the pine tar oil until the wound is healed. 'Prompt treat ment of cases is the best way to prevent spread of the pest. Reduce cause for screw worm infestation by perfarm ing such operations as dehorn ing. castrating and branding, in the fly-free season (winter); use emasculators of the pin cer type as far as practicable 'In castrating; prevent fighting of animals; clear pens of nailB | and broken boards that are apt to injure animals; regulate ' breeding so that young are dropped in winter; give espe cial care to young born in warm weather and to their dams, because many screw worm cases begin at the birth of livestock. Control ticks by dipping, be cause tick bites are a common source of infestation, partici larly along the gulf coast. Burn all dead animals as soon as possible. Be sure to use only the re commended material for treat ment, as they are the most ef fective known and are compar atively cheap. To people, do not sleep out of doors in the daytime and do not go with unprotected sores or wounds, particularly about the head. The frequent and regular ex amination of all animals, cat tle, hogs, mules, sheep, without which the screw worm cannot be controlled, necessitates that pastures be adequately fenced and made small enough that animals can be conveniently handled. A small pasture should be provided for the con finement of infested animals, ■where they can be examined and treated daily. This treat ment pen should be on a high open ground, as low bushy areas are ideal for screw worm development. The old practice of allowing hogs and cattle to run wild' for months at a time must stop. By fencing livestock breeding can also be regulated and the •crew worm infestation at birth be reduced. The stock west Texas were breeding or buy their young animals from sections where the screw worm was not bo in jurious. As in every insect control campaign, little can be accom plished without unified com munity sentiment and action. Every owner of animals must learn how to treat worm cases and have the proper materials for treatment. Also let each owner see that his neighbor is intelligently fighting the screw r_ worm. It may be that several neighbors can advantageously use one treating pen for agre gation of the screw worm cases and possibly put treatment of the animals in the hands of one man. There must be an unflagging realization of the danger of the screw worm and a determined effort to keep los ses at a minimum. In looking over accounts of i the screw worm, old and recent one is impressed with the fact that stock owners have writ ten very little about the past. I is hard to get figures on ac tual losses. There are two rea sons: Stockmen, like farmers in general, are not apt to take time to write about their trou bles. Again, they have had oth er problems more serious, for example, cattle fever and tu berculosis. These problems have been managed successful ly. An owner of several hundred , fine cattle in South Georgia ; wrote me in December, 1934: "We have had very little trou ble with the screw worm be cause we watch our cattle closely.” This shows that live stock owners of the southeast w’ll not let the screw worm put them out of business.” South Carolina farmers, and later, possibly next year or the following year, North Carolina and Virginia farmers should be on the look out for screw I worms, of which there been severe outbraks in iana and Mississippi and more recently in Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Natural causes may wipe the worm out. but un til the effect of such forces on the worm are better understood no prediction can be hazarded aB to the extent of infestation to be expected in this terri tory. .1! 1 ^ Subscribe to the Enterprises.
