Killing Heel Flies
With Power Sprays
Cattle Grubs Can Be
Eliminated Profitably
By W. J. DKYDEN
The cattle grub and heel fly are
different forms of the same insect.
Starting in the spring, when it is
in the fly form, the heel fly lays eggs ;
in hairs of the animals. These eggs ]
hatch into maggots which work their
v av through the hide and enter the
muscle tissues. During the next nine
nionths they migrate through the in
ternal organs of the cattle and come
out along the back.
Cysts are formed and the maggots
then turn into grubs about an inch
long. In the spring they work their ,
way out of the holes in the hide and *
fall to the ground. Within a few
weeks they turn into heel flies and
the yearly cycle repeats itself.

While the use of a VA rotenone
dust has proven effective, many will
find it advisable to treating cattle
with a power spray. For this
method either of the following solu
tions will be effective: 20 pounds
rotenone sulphur with 100 gallons wa
ter or cube or derris, 10 pounds, so
dium lauryl sulfate, 2 ounces add
ed to 100 gallons of water. There
are many good commercial prepara
tions on the market.

FARMERS MUST ORGANIZE
;
Industry i» strongly organized in corporations, many of which have
monopoly privileges. Labor is powerfully organized with enormous in
fluence. Farmers are out-numbered, three to one, therfore it is neces- ■
sary that they pool their strength through organization in order to make
the most effective use of their power.
Farmers face many big problems during the postwar period. They
need a strong organization co help solve these problems. We should
make the Farm Eure an big enough and strong enough to do the job.
