Extension Service Cattle Orub Losses May Be Reduced By Treatment One insect, the cattle grub or ox warble, causes losses of from SO to 100 million dollars an nnnllv In the United States, ac cording to the department of ag riculture, This loss Is repre sented by trimming away grubby meat and perforated hides. These losses may be greatly reduced if every cattle owner would treat his stock wun roienone av me right period. The grubs are now starting to emerge from the backs of cattle that were infested last summer. In the absence of treatment the ornhfi hnre holes In the lime along the back of cattle and drop to the ground. The gruD men tranafnrms to a fly which soon deposits eggs on the hair near the ankle joint 01 came, m un tsar thev are known as heel fiv Th ran hatches into a mln nie larva which burrows into th tissues lust under the skin It feeds on the cattle body tissue and gradually works upward to the back where 11 emerges some months later. , These erubs may be killed when they start to emerge if ro- tenone is applied ai ju-oay tervals for two or three months, There are three methods 01 ap ulication. Firnt. dust bv brushing Into the back surface a powder of one part of five per cent rotenone mixed with two parts 01 line powder such as flour or talcum powder. Estimate three ounces ner nnlmal.

Third, dip in a dipping vat filled with rotenone liquid made hv uslnff 7 to 10 Dounds of ro tenone, 10 pounds of wettablc sulphur and 100 gallons of wat er. Stock should be held in the vat for two minutes. W. B. Tucker. County Extension Agent. Time To Spray Berries Per Leaf, Cane Spot Control Bovsenberries and .youngber- rlej should be sprayed now for the control of leaf and cane spot, When once established this dis ease becomes worse and worse each year and if allowed to go unchecked, It will reduce the crop' very materially and what berries are produced will be emaller In size. By spraying now with eight gallons of liquid lime sulphur to 100 gallons, any starts this disease may have made will be burned out. For small spray ers, use one quart of liquid lime sulphur or one pound of dry lime sulphur in three gallons of water. This same spray can be applied to rose bushes and grape vines for the control of mildew. Mil dew over-winters on the twigs and It Is this over-wintering from which starts new Infec tions In the spring. A lime sul phur spray, if thoroughly applied will burn out these over-wintering Infections and this will make a good start toward control of the troubles during the summer. C. B.
