B. Cannon. County Agent of Outlnreak of Screw Worms Quite a number of outbreaks screw worm have been reported from Waterloo,'Cross Hill and Hunter town ships. The screw worm is spread by a' fly that attacks any warm-blooded animal including man. A ^ farmer should look over his livestock each jday to see that there are no^^broken places in the skin sufficient to cause bleeding as the screw worm fly is at tracted by blood at quite a distance. The fly lays from two to three hun dred eggs, in the wound which hatches into a maggot within a period of eight to twelve hours. They immediately bore their way into the flesh of the animal and feed in clusters so as to form pockets in the wound. Unless the animal is found ^d the destruc tive maggots are kill^.'lt may die in a very short time. If the maggots are* 'not killed, they become fully grown in from four to six days and drop out of the wound to the ground where they change into flies in about ten to fourteen days. When screw worms are present in the wound, there is a bloody dis charge and a characteristic odor. For all practical purposes, a bloody dis charge^ sufficient evidence to iden tify their presence. A hard swelling usually accchfipaTHes a screw worm in festation. Bloody discharge from the mouth sometimes, indicates that t^he lips or gums of the\finimal are infest ed. This infestation oXthe mouth may be brought about by the animal lick ing the affected parts its body. Common blow ,fly maggot^do not by keeping a dose watch on the live stock and applying pine tar oil to wounds before the fly attacks the ani- Tnal. Bei}zoLand pine tar oil may be bought at the local drug stores. - Outbreak of Grass Worms Reports have reached the office from the upper part of the county, Greenpond section, of worms eating foliage of plants. This worm belongs to the grass worm family and may do damage eating foliage of cotton and corn as well as all other plants. The worm may be controlled by spraying or dusting with .calcium ar senate, For spray, use one pound cal cium arsenate to 50 gallons water. For dust, use one part calcium arsenate to one part lime, mixing thoroughly, dusting as-if dusting for boll weevil. It is very necessary to watch the worm closely as it is likely to break out in pastures, eating the glass from livest(|:k. Of course poisons for the worms must hot be used where there is danger of livestock’ eating the foliage. Gin Tickeia ‘ All notices have been mailed to farmers to call for their gin tickets. Quite a number of ^^tickets remain in the county agent’s office.

The, earlier at tempts at an effective federation bad been handicapped by the la^k of any courFs having jurisdiction outside its bwn' state. The scheme of “checks and balances" which the framers of the Constitution set up called for a judi cial branch independent of and coequal with the legislative and executive. The number of justices of the su preme court is not fixed by the Consti tution. Originally there were seven. The number wae increased to nine^in the administration of President Grant. Tb« Constitution does, however, pro vide that all federal judges shall be appointed by the president, and shall hold office “during good behavior.” The number of inferior federal courts is left to congresf^ to decide. The power of the federal judiciary, about by the paaaage of tima, Hie Con stitution baa been kept in <^n4d-channel own initiative. It passes only upon eas es brought before it by litigants, gen erally on appeal from the lower courts. And when it decides that a law is un constitutional its decision is, in effect, a declaration that congress has tried (o do somethng that runs contrary to in the language of the Constitution, Qf people, as expressed in extends “to* all cases, in law and eqm- document under which congress, ty, arising under this Cbttstitution, the president and the court itself de laws of the United States, and treat- ,rive their powers. ies, as well as to cases arising from disputes between states, ur citizens of different states, and those affecting foreign interests. The great power jof the supren^ court derives fro'm its duty oif inter preting the Constitution. That it might exercise that power to declare an act of congress unconstitutional was foreseen, and accepted as a mat ter of course, by-the framers of the Constitution. The federal judiciary system was intended as a check upon the legislative and executive branches of the govemment,^o see that neither of thetn exceeded the powers specifi cally granted to them by the people in the Constitution. It has been largely through this power of interpretation by the su preme court that the power of the fed eral government has grown from its early beginnings. Instead of constant amendment, to meet the inevitable so cial and economic changes brought interests than the 12-cent loan. I hope they are right, but I am not convinced. “The action of the farmers in* hold ing thoir cotton or in dumping it will answer the question.". The supreme court itself power to enforce its decisions. They are, in effect, self Enforcing, for they are, recognized by every court in the land, federal or state, and by conr gress and the executive, as the final word,op the question at issuer When the supreme court declares a law un constitutional, that law ceases to exist. How accurately the supreme court reflects the changing public sentiment of changing times is indicated by the fact that only once has an amendpient to the Constitution resulted directly from an adverse opinion by the court. That is the income tax amendment. / /; TBUIKPAY. AUGUST 29, 1935 WPA Pushing To Complete Woric SUte^Ho^ To Hotc AS S. .C.

The wounded animals very often be come weak and thin because of scr^ worm attack and stray away from thX- herd. Uontrol Use only benzol and pine tar oil. The benzol is 90 per.cent commercial.* The pine tar oil should be acid free, de hydrated. The pine tar oil is used as a dressing for wounds and for repell ing flies. Before these materials are applied the portigi of the animal cov ered with discharge from the wound ^ should be carefully cleaned. Wounds 'Containing blo^ and serum must be ckrefully cleaned and’ swabbed with cotton, because benzol does not readi ly kilK^crew worm protected by fluids in the \vound. Immediately following the swabU^, a Ught application of commercial l^nzol is made to the wound with an oil can or syringe, which retards thCFlow^of blood. Three or four minutes should be allowed for the'benzol to reach the screw* worms. A second light application is then made, and dry cotton is inerted in the opening of the wound. This cotton by the gas of the benzol. It is recoi mended that the farmers and live stock owners leave the cotton plugs and screw worms in wounds. Pine tar oil (specific gravity 1.066, Acid free, dehydrated) is then applied over the cotton plug and on the skin around the injured parts, it may be apread with cotton wrapped around a clean stick. The pine tar oil repells flies and aids in healing. Following the first treatment, the reappearance of a bloody discharge from the wound indicates that living larvae are pres ent In such cases treatment with ben- sol should be repeated; If there is pb further discharge, the conditions sug- fest that the screw worms were killed and that only pine tar oil shbuld be applied. It is necessary to apply pine tar oil every day or two until the wound has {lealed. / Ta Piavent Spread Screw Worm A farmer should j^event the infe* tation of animalXi^is may be done Read Saiidi’s Pharmacy back to school circulars and learn how to sret a free pocket note book. the shut-ins.
