Lice are injurious to all types ot
cattle. Animals produce less meat
and milk if lice are unchecked.
\ oung animals and poorly-nour-
ished old animals suffer most from
lice.
The winter season is the time lice
are bad on cattle. The louse popula- ।
tion builds up then. Dr. Harold
Gunderson, extension entomologist
at Iowa Mate college, says one louse
unchecked tn fall means 1,000 the
following March.
For lice control on cattle. DDT is
being used successfully. Early in
fall, before cold weather arrives, it
is mixed with water and sprayed
on the animals. After cold weather ;
comes, a DDT dust is recommended.
Farmers are being advised to use a
dust containing 10 per cent DDT.
Some of the powdered louse killers
on the market contain less than 10
per cent DDT. but have other ef
fective insecticides combined with
the DDT.
The rotenone dusts recommended
for cattle grub control can be used
for lice control. Usually they are
diluted for lice, to cover greater
area and reduce the cost. For in
stance. one pound of a cattle grub
dust containing m per cent rote-
I
none can be mixed with two pounds
of flour to make an effective louse
killer.
