By FULTON LOVELL
Director, Georgia Game and Fish Commission
SCIENCE COMBATS SCREWWORMS
ATOMIC age scientists are using a new weapon in their
attack on one of wildlife’s biggest crippiers, the rav
enous screwworm. Sterile male screwworm flies are now
being released in Georgia and Florida in
an effort to wipe out the loathsome pest
once and for all.
It’s all a part of an atomic age program to
eradicate screwworms with cobalt, a by-product
of atomic energy. Cobalt is a silver-white
metal related to iron and nickel that creates
sterility in male screwworm flies upon exposure.
The agriculture departments of Georgia and
Florida, with assistance from the United States
Department of Agriculture, are spreading
sterile male flies at the rate of two million a
Week from an aircraft flying a pattern proven
successful in experiments.
r
\ 153 b I
Fulton Lovell
The program operates on the theory that, since female
screwworm flies mate only once in a lifetime, sterility in male
flies will eliminate hatching of the eggs, thus keeping the
screwworm population under control and possibly wiping it
out permanently.
Screwworms raise their maggots in the living flesh of animals
and for that reason are a serious hazard to deer, cattle and swine.
Although it has not been determined exactly how seriously the
screwworm affects wildlife populations, it is known that approxi
mately 20 million dollars’ worth of damage is done annually to
cattle and swine in the southeast.
Screwworms have a recorded history in the United States dating
back to 1842, when Texas had a serious infestation. Evidence has
been found which shows that native animals during that time,
especially bison and coyotes, were infested with the pest, but it
was not serious until white man brought livestock into that area.
Deer Affected by This Pest
The first trace of screwworms in the southeast was in Boston,
Georgia in 1933. It was believed to be the result of the importa
tion of infested livestock from the Southwest. In any case, screw
worms spread very rapidly through Georgia and Florida and, by
1935, were found in every county in Florida.
Deer are very susceptible to screwworms, particularly dur
ing the fawning period and hunting season in the extreme
southern part of the state. Gunshot wounds, scratches and
cuts received from snags, brush, fences and the like enable
screwworms to enter the flesh and spread.
During the fawning season, does are highly susceptible to
screwworms and new-born fawns are sometimes infested in the
naval region. Another peak period of infestation, to bucks only,
is from the time he drops his antlers until new ones are developed.
Ticks and insects also open up avenues for the blood-thirsty worms
to find and explore.
Headquarters for the nerewworm eradication program is
in Sebring. Florida where an old airplane hanger has been
renovated and a laboratory set up. The new lab, which was
officially opened July 10 contains modern atomic equipment
and all the necessary facilities to raise and release sterile flies.
The laboratory process consists of inducing female flies to lay
their eggs on a special warm meat mixture. Once this is done, the
eggs are collected and transferred to moist paper before they
hatch. After the hatch, the larvae are treated in special vats, then
transferred to sand trays. From there, now in the pupae stage,
they are held in air-conditioned cabinets to await irradiation. A
special canister houses the pupae and they are lowered into an
irradiation chamber and exposed to cobalt. Irradiated pupae are
then stored in a special cabinet until adulthood, at which time
they are released. There is no danger in handling the pupae or
the flies because they give off no radiation.
Farmers Can Aid Program
Phil Campbell, head of the Georgia Department of Agriculture,
says farmers can be extremely helpful in eradicating screwworms
by inspecting livestock frequently; promptly treating all wounds
with approved remedies; keeping animals in pens until wounds
•re healed and by reporting all screwworm cases to the local
county agent.
Georgia’s deer herd has suffered immensely from the effects of
acrewworms, just as hus cattie and swine. Relief may be in sight
if modern science can do what man has never been üble to do
wipe out the screwworm forever.

Diet-Conscious Humans
Run Second to Animals
In Eating Healthy Meals
Strange as it seems, diet
conscious Americans run a poor
second to cattle, sheep, poultry
and pigs when it comes to eating
healthy, balanced meals, an ex
pert in the field of nutrition
says.
There are several reasons for
the difference, asserts Dr. Ster
! ling Brackett, director of Animal
Industry Development for Amer-
I lean Cyanamid Co. In an inter
[ view. Dr. Brackett pointed out
; that animals have little choice
। of menus, but science has deter
i mined the exact amounts of pro
teins, vitamins and other in
' gredients required to make ani
mals grow efficiently. Moreover,
to prepare animal rations, feed
manufacturers have devised
elaborate facilities for weighing
and blending these ingredients
into formula feeds.
Even though much is known
about human nutritional re
quirements. he added, such a
procedure is not practical for
' them. To this may be added the
| fact that humans like to indulge
| their whims for tasty delicacies
which don’t add up to a bal
anced diet.
That’s only part of the story.
Dr. Brackett said. The growing
tendency among farmers to add
antibiotics to poultry and live
stock rations is giving farm ani
। mats an even greater advantage
over humans in the matter of
’ healthy eating.
“One so the major reasons be
hind this trend," he declared, “is
: that apparently there is no such
; thing as a completely healthy
' farm animal. Even these which

Nearby Cumberland Gap Pass Is known to every student of Amer
ican history. Hie area was recently in the news when the cooperating
states of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia provided about 20,000
acres of land for the establishment of Cumberland Gap National
Historical Park.
The Cumberland Gap Pass is the
most significant physical feature
of the famous Wilderness Road
which opened Kentucky in Revolu
tionary times. The altitude of the
pass is about 1630 feet, about 1,000
feet lower than the twin portals in
the Cumbeland Mountain range
through which it passes. In 1750,
Dr. Thomas Walker and a group
of surveyors entered from Virginia
and built a log cabin on the Cum
berland River — the first cabin
erected in Kentucky. Daniel Boone
first passed through the Gap in
1769. Boone and a party of 30 men
cut out the road from Cumberland
Gap to a settlement on the Ken
tucky River at Boonesboro. George
Rogers Clark used the road in
coming out of Kentucky to recruit
supplies and men for his expedition

against the British and Indians.
In 1887, a visiting Canadian lum
berman, Alex A. Arthur, interested
English capital in the steel indus
try of that country in the Cumber
land Gap area. A syndicate pur
chased 60,000 acres of land, built
Middiesboro, named for Middles
borough, England, and $20,000,000
was poured into the area in the de
velopment of railroads, the big
tunnel underneath Cumberland Gap
and a playground for tourists at
nearby Harrogate, Tenn., which
became a famous spa of the South.
English capital failed in 1892 and
with the panic of 1893, so did tire
development of the area. The story
of this boom and collapse is one
of the most fantastic and exciting
in the annals of American industry.
Branch offices are located in 84
lands. To aid all these ministers
the society publishes Bibles,
textbooks, booklets, magazines
and tracts emphasizing the need
of Bible study.
“Speaking for the local dele
gates, congregation minister J.
D. Hightower stated: “We feel
our ministry has been enhanced
by the special emphasis we re
