PESTS INJURE LIVE STOCK
some to Stocknen in Different
Parts of Country.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Both the SO-called Screw-worm and
the blow-f1y larvae commonly called
maggots, are pests of prime Importance
to stock raisers. The screw-worm is
often confused with the other species,
especially during the spring and fall
months. Injury TO live stock from mag
gots is more widespread than is that
due to the true screw-worm. In fact,
this maggot injury may be found
among live stock in any state of the
Union, although it occurs most fire.
quently in the warmer portions Of the
country. The true screw-worm infiicts
enormous losses on the stock raisers
of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Ari-
zona, and southern California during
seasons which are favorable for it's
development. During the warmer pOr-
lions of the year it is never entirely
absent from this region and may also
cause injury to stock in the other
Southern states, and as far north as
Nebraska.
The Screw-worm is a native of the
Americas and has been causing trOu-
BILE TO stockmen for many years. No
doubt it is largely due to this fact
that cattlemen accept the pest as
necessary evil and always count upon
"doctoring'' a certain number of cases
every year.
The seasonal abundance of the
screw-worm fly depends largely upon
climatic conditions. The first ap-
pearance of adults in numbers in
spring varies from the first of April
to the middle of June, according to the
latitude and earliness or lateness Of the
season. Throughout most of the ter

KEEP DUAL-PURPosE CATTLE
Popular With Farmer Who Must De-

and Butter for Family.

From the United States Department Of
Agriculture)
The dual-purpose cattle are popular
with the small farmer who keeps but
few cattle and must depend on them
to produce all the milk and butter
needed for the family and, at the
same time, raise calves or steers which
will sell readily for slaughtering pur-
poses. They have not been popular
with the ranchmen or farmer who
raise large numbers of cattle.

and cases of screw-worm injury be-

then gradually increases in numbers
until the hot, dry weather of midsum-

the abundance so that the injury is not
severe under normal conditions in the
months of July and August, unless
considerable cloudy and rainy weather
occurs. It becomes more numerous
again in the early fall, especially when
the weather is warm and showery, and
its activities are terminated only with
the advent of heavy frosts. The album

Multiplying Man Power.
From the Prairie Farmer

From the Rr1ir7e Farmer.
The increased scarcity of hired men
makes it necessary for each man on
the farm to work more land. The
increased demand for farm products
makes 1t necessary for him to farm mis-
land better. There is only one way that
he can do these two things. and that
is by using more and larger machinery
Where he has been driving two horses
he will have 10 drive four. Where he
has been driving four he will have to
drive six or eight. In many cases he
will have to bring still more power
under his control by using a tractor.
No farmer can now afford to pump
water or shell corn by hand. These and
other tasks can be done by machinery,
and machinery will have to do them
The farmer must buy machinery judi
ciously, for he can easily bankrupt
himself by buying what he does not
need. But whenever a machine can be
made to do work that man has been
doing before, or wherever a machine
will enable one man to do the work
Of two, that machine is a profitable
part of the farm equipment.
American farmers lead the world in
the use of machinery. That is one. of
tho principal reasons why they lead
the world in prosperity. We must make
Stin wider use of machinery to meet
the needs of the future, for only in
this way can we multiply the work
that one man can do. and thus solve a
large part of the farm labor problem.
