C.f Feb. 28.? About this time of the year, cattle are commonly affected with grubs, "warbles", or "wolves" in the back. Seventy to eighty per cent, of Southern cattle are said to be affected. The eggs are deposited on the skin during the summer months by the warble fly or gad-fly. The eggs hatch and the young . grubs penetrate the skin and develop just beneath it. Some claim- that the cattle lick themselves and thus take in the eggs, which hatch,the grubs piercing the throat and wandering to the structures under the skin, f? UVA V VUCJ UV V VIV|I? THey develop under the skin for about ten months, after which time they emerge (in the spring) as full jrown warbles. They drop to the ground and burrow under the soil. Here they develop for about thirty days, and the result is the mature Garble fly. The grubs in the back prevent proper development of the animal, causing considerable irritation ' and pus formation. The value of the hide of the animal is materially re traced. Treatment consists in standing the affected animal on a board or cement floor, squeezing oat the grub by hand onto the floor, and killing bhem. Fine foreceps may be used to assist in removing the grubs from the swellings. In the early stages of the development of the swelling, a small amount of kerosene may be injected into the mass by means of a machine oil can. rhis destroys the grubs. To prevent the flies laying eggs on the animals in the summer, a J per cent solution of creolin may be sprayed on the cattle. rOUR 1918 FARMING PROGRAM.! ' Clemson Collie, S C.t Feb. 28? 1.

With the shortage of farm labor ( is suggested that each county ;ent obtain a list of all tractor wmers in his territory and escer- i lin from the owners what portion i f the time the tractor will actually i a needed for their own use and ar- : inge, if powible, with owpara of 1 u lie Farmer | tractors to operate them to their ^|| fall capacity, training at least two vlW men to run the machines so thdiv-Jsjl they can work two shifts. Arranjf?v ments should then be perfected between owners of tractors and ownr'C^S J ers of land for the hiring of tractor '^ M plowing at reasonable rates. In way it is believed that in some ter-. ritories it might be possible to mak* jjjgai the-tractors already in the hands of^'Js M farmers do double duty. * r--|f9K In publishing this statement, the Extension Division of Clemson Col- || lege, would urge the heartiest operation with it on all the part of ; | all our people.
