In general, the pur pose of the screw worm control cam paign is to convey to livestock raisers that information which has been made available by research workers—infor mation that has been found to be practical and economical in treating screw worm cases and in controlling the screw worm fly. This campaign is being conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, in Cooperation with the extension services of the agricultural colleges and other State agencies in the States affected. South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, California and any other States where screw’ worm flies may migrate this year are included in the program. The control of screw worms is es sentially connected with better animal husbandry practices, according to W. S. Bruce, regional supervisor of screw worm control woik in the Southeastern United States, and all recommend- ationa marl? concerning screw worm control will Ant be tested under range conditions. For this purpose demon stration units are being set up in different States; three of the units are in Texas. These units will rep resent different rsnge conditions and will cover expet tmenta with cattle, sheep, goats, horses and hogs. On these units various animal husbandry practices will be tried, worm killers and fly repel lints will be teeted and vartout methods of controlling the screw worm will be studied. Careful records will be made of these experi ments to show if they are practical and economics; under range condi tions. As soon as this informat lou is made available, it will he paaeed on to the lives tack reisers through the District Supervisors.

All students are urged to be present on that date so that enrollment may be completed and the book s under the the new’ rental system may be deliver ed. The books this year may be rented from the State by the pupils at a cost of approximately one-third the actual cost of the book, or they may be bought by the pupils as before. These book 3 will remain the property of the State and w’ill be returned at the close of the school year. Parents will be responsible for any damage or los s of a book. Further instructions will be made public w’hen the full system has been worked out. Supt.

(4) Demonstrations will be held of other phases of, screw worm control which are of practical value and which may be practiced by £he live stock raiser. The adoption of regular use of methods for control, of screw worms should inhibit development of large populations of screw’ worm flies in areas where they are active for long seasons, and should serve to delay oc currence in areas which normally re ceive them through gradual spread of the pest.
