The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, August 17, 1972—PAGE 3 COUNTY AGENT SCREWWORM SITUATION Screwworm cases have in creased in number in the South west, and this is a cause for concern in our area. Screw- worms may be brought in through infected wounds of cat tle, dogs, swine, or other ani mals which escape detection by authorities who inspect ship ments of such animals. The situation in the South west is explained in a recent letter received from Dr. Carl Boyd, Director of the Clemson Livestock-Poultry Health De partment: During the week ending June 24, 1972, there were 3,879 con firmed cases of screwworms re ported in Texas with a total of 3,946 in the Continental U. S. This is the greatest number of laboratory confirmed cases to occur during any single week since the start of the eradica tion program in 1962. There have been 16,421 labora tory confirmed cases in the Continental United States since January 1, 1972. Of these, 15,- 196 were in Texas, 8 in New Mexico, 52 in Arizona, and 7 in Oklahoma. “Texas cattle are being mov ed into South Crolina for slaugh ter as well as all species mov ing through normal channels. This poses a real threat to the livestock industry of the South east.” Watch for maggots in wounds of animals and collect samples for turning over to your county extension leader or local vete rinarian. Maggots should be put in a clean bottle containing 70 percent alcohol. In case screw- worms show up in the state, a quick diagnosis will help head off a serious outbreak. TIME TO CONTROL CATTLE GRUBS Now is the time to use in secticides for the control of cat tle grubs. Treatment should be gin in July and should be done not later than October 1. I am giving some of the recommen dations for sprays and pour on treatments for the control of cattle grubs by systemic insec ticides: For control of Grubs and Lice it is recommended that you use either (1) Ruelene 25 percent EC (crufomate), (2) Ruelene 9.4 percent (crufomate), or (3) Warbex 13.2 percent (Famphur) follow directions on the labels. For control of Grubs, Lice and Horn Flies it is recommend ed that you use Prolate 11.57 percent EC— follow directions on the label. The county extension leader has details on these and other recommendations. TO START SAFETY SEARCH 1. Do you furnish a place of employment free of hazards which may cause illness, injury or death to employees? 2. Do you conduct periodic inspections for safety and health hazards? 3. Do you post notices to keep employees informed of applica ble standards? 4. Do you maintain records of all work-related injuries, ill nesses, deaths and exposures of employees to toxic materials and harmful physical agents? 5.
