No cattle owner should allow his cattle to become unthrifty and to waste feed because of lice, with easy and economical methods of control available says Assistant County Agent J. L. King, who states that few herds escape the depredations of this pest. The larger type of sucking lice can be seen without difficulty on the neck and head but a very smaller kind can be seen only with great difficulty and is seldom noticed until cattle begin to lose patches_the agent explains. Any tendency to rub on posts or feed racks should be looked upon as an indica tion of lice and an investigation should be made immediately. A good grade of lice powder applied along the back from head to tail and dusted into the coat when the hair is dry will effectively destroy all kinds of lice on cattle. A second application shoud be made 14 days after the first to destroy those that hatch after the first application. In applying powd er it is best to confine the cattle closely in stalls or a chute. In purchasing a powder for the con trol of lice care should be taken to see that it contains enough pyrethrum, derris, and naphthelene powder to be effective, preferably not less than 35 per cent of a combination of them. Powder containing sodium fluoride is not suitable tor use on cattle be cause this substance is poisonous to them. Oil, while effective for use on hogs for destroying lice, should not be used on cattle since it may cause loss of hair and serious injury. While coal-tar dips in proper dilutions ap plied with a brush will kill cattle lice it is much more troublesome to apply than powder. PRESIDENT KINARD IS SPEAKER AT NORFOLK Prsident James C.
