WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20. 1929 Control Sheep Tick by Proper Dippings Blood-Sucking Parasite Is Readily Eradicated. (Prepared by the United States Department of, Agriculture.) f Though widely prevalent, especially [among close-herded range flocks, the Mood-sucking parasite known as the [sheep tick can be readily eradicated by flock owners who study Its nature and habits and who will treat their [sheep according to government, direc tions. Farmers' Bulletin 798-F, “The [Sheep Tick and Its Eradication by (Dipping,” just revised, describes and illustrates this enemy of the sheep in dustry. “Tlie only practical way ot destroy ing the pest,” declares Dr. Marion lines, the author of the bulletin, “is by dipping the sheep. Two dippings are necessary about 21 days apart, us the first dipping may not destroy all the eggs and these may subsequently (hatch anew brood.” Several kinds of dips are used successfully, the selec tion being largely a matter of avail ability, economy, and convenience. Many farm flocks of the United Stales as well as those kept under range conditions harbor sheep ticks and in some cases the parasites are present in sufficient numbers to cause considerable damage. The bulletin de scribes and illustrates the parasites ir, different stages of growth, gives full directions for dipping, and includes plans of wooden and concrete vats suitable for both small and large flocks. Utilization of Straw for Insulation Board The utilization of wheat straw for insulation board is now a practical process and this year one factory at St. Joseph, Mo., has purchased 30,000 tons of straw which is being manu factured into insulation board at the rate of 125,000 square feet daily, ac cording to Prof. O. It. Sweeney, lowa State college. It has been found that wheat straw, after steel fingers in a shredder have separated it, produces long tough fibers which can be fabricated into a board that lias great structural strength and will provide insulation in building that saves 25 to 40 per cent in fuel used for heating. The practical application of insula tion is recognized by engineers every where uid farmers, toe are learning that insulation of poultry houses, hog houses and other buildings brings di rect returns in saving; of feed and fuel.
