Lice Sprayings Proved Successful
A practical method of eradi
cating cattle lice on a herd ba
sis has been demonstrated in an
experimental herd at the Agri
cultural Research Center, Belts
vllle, Maryland.
This eradication method, pro
ved over a 5-year period, should
be of value to livestock produc
ers. Measures that effectively
control but do not eradicate
cattle lice have been In use
many years.
Lice eradication in the Belts
ville herd was carried out by
entomologist D. W. Anthony,
veterinarian L. O. Mott, and ani-
LEE PETTYJOHN (sceond from left) points out ranching developments that won him the 1962
Conservation Man of the Year award, sponsored by the Oregon Wheat Growers League. Occasion
was the annual Conservation Field Day, held this week at the Weatherford-Pettyjohn ranch near
Arlington,
Arlington Ranch
Hosts !00 Guests
For Field Day
Nearly one hundred wheat
growers and farm implement
dealers attended this week's1
Conservation Field Day, an an
nual event sponsored by the Ore
gon Wheat Growers League.
The all-day program was held
at the Weatherford-Pettyjohn
Circle W Ranch near Arlington,
and featured Dr, J. H. Jensen,
president of Oregon State Uni
versity, who gave a luncheon
address.
Inspection of the 16,000-acre
ranch provided visitors with a
first-hand look at the conserva
tion practices which won for
manager Lee Pettyjohn the
Wheat League's 19G2 Conserva
tion Man of the Year award,

with Harrison Weatherford, Al
bany, and Dr, John Runkel, Port

it with machinery available?"
are the questions asked of each
conservation practice introduced
at the Circle W, according to the
three partners, They stressed to
the visiting group that current
Circle W conservation programs
are a continuation of those in
troduced by Mark V. Weather
ford, pioneering Gilliam county
rancher who died last year.
Addressing a morning meet
ing at the ranch headquarters,
David Chllds, neighbor and long
time friend of the Circle W pro
prietors, traced the history of
the operation and the effects of
conservation practices on Its
prosperous growth. He was fol
lowed by Howard Eubanks,
chairman of the Wheat League
conservation committee which
selected the Weatherford-Petty
john ranch for the 19bz state
award.
Following a buffet lunch at
the ranch house, OSU president
Jensen drew a correlation be
tween farm conservation pro
grams and the goals of higher
education. Both, he said, are
pursued by forward-thinking in
dividuals who look beyond short
run returns and invest in the
future of the country.
The afternoon session was de
voted to a tour of the various
ranch operations and an inspec
tion of the machinery employed.
In addition to 2,013 acres of
wheat, barley and alfalfa are
also grown on the Circle W, and
a livestock operation has been
recently introduced.
The annual farming conser
vation contest was inaugurated
by the Wheat League in 1948.
Candidates are selected from
each of the major wheat-growing
counties from which a state
wide winner is chosen bv the
League's program committee.
mal caretaker G. D. Mills. The
success of the method, they say,
depends on timing insecticide
treatments to break the life
cycle of the lice, plus quaran
tining and treating all newly
introduced cattle.
To eradicate short and long
nosed cattle lice and cattle bit
ing lice, all cattle in the herd
were given two thorough spray
ings, 14 days apart, with mal
athion, an insecticide used for
louse control on nonmilking
cattle. All cattle brought into
the herd were kept in quaran
tine while receiving this 2-spray
treatment. The study was made
in the herd used for animal dis
ease and parasite research.
Although most insectici d e s
that are safe for use against lice
on livestock will kill all lice past
the egg stage, they are not com
pletely effective against lice
eggs, especially under pasture
conditions, the scientists say.
Therefore, some lice will hatch
from eggs after the first treat
ment. The second spraying, if
properly timed kills these newly
hatched lice before they can ma
ture and produce eggs.
The Beltsville herd was first
treated in October 1957. In the
following months, no lice could
be found on the animals. But to
insure eradication, the herd
again received the spray treat
ment the next April.
Periodic examination of the
herd revealed no lice until Oc
tober, 1959, when a yearling
heiter on pasture was found in
fested, Although cattle in the
same pasture and in adjoining
psature had no lice, both groups
were given two sprayings. No
lice have been found in this
herd since the treatments, al
though about 90 animals have
Homes Abound with Potential
Poisons, AMA Official Warns
Children, supposedly "safo at
home," nre poisoning themselves
at the rate of nearly 1,500 a day.
"When you consider that
more than a quarter million
home-used product!! on the mar
ket contain toxins, it is not dif
ficult to understand why more
than 500 children die each
year from self-administered
poisons," said F. J. L. Blasin
game, M.D., executive vice
president of the American Med
ical Association.
Children are naturally cu
rious, especially the very young
ones. They are prone to stick
into their mouths anything they
i.m get in their hands. It doesn t
even have to taste good or look
pretty."
Most accidental poisonings
occur in children under five.
Two-year-olds are the most poi
son prone, with one-year-olds
close behind. At this stage In
life their curiosity is at its
height and their sense of fear
not yet developed, Dr. Blasin
game explained.
Medicine, especially aspirin,
heads the list of items children
seem to like to sample, account
ing for nearly half of all acci
dental poisonings. In fact, too
much of virtually any medicine
can produce serious conse
quences. Among the supposed non
edihles that frequently find
their way into children's stom
achs are cleaning ami polishing
agents, detergents, shoe polish,
cosmetics, waxes, insecticides,
paint, turpentine, chalk,
bleaches, plant foods, plaster,
perfume and decorations.

itch par. Discard wtusod medicine and keep rest out ot children's reach.
A primary cause of such acci
dents, says Dr. Blaslngame, is
storing poisonous substances in
food containers or soft drink
bottles. A toddler just nat
urally assumes that a soft drink
bottle contains a treat. He'll
drink whatever he finds In it.
"The facts are clear," he
warned. "Between 65 and 70
per cent of all poisonings take
place because an item was ac
cessible to a child.
"If we're going to live in
modern homes with modern
conveniences and modern med
icines, we have to develop
some up-to-date standards that
will make home safe for our
children."
Among suggestions for less
ening the poisoning hazards in
the home, Dr. Blaslngame sug
gested: Keep potential poisons out
of reach and tightly sealed.
Never transfer toxic ma
terials Into household
utensils.
Don't leave your child
alone in a room in which
you're working with poi
sons. Give medicines only in a
lighted room.
If your child might have
taken a poisonous substance,
call your doctor for instructions
at once. Don't wait to See what
happens.

Lamb Finishing Aids
In Marketing Prices
Slaughter lambs that will
grade choice or better and weigh
between 85 and 105 pounds can
be put on the market as soon
as possible. It is not necessary to
go above choice grade on lambs,
and the market would actually
prefer lambs out of prime grade.
These lambs will carry more
finish than is desirable for the
market.
Unfortunately, all lambs will
not be ready to go to market
on the same date. This neces
sitates taking out a few lambs
at a time, causing inconvenience
from the marketing standpoint.
However, it will pay the sheep
producer high dividends. A
pooling operation within a local
ity will help a great deal in
solving some of these problems.
