Lice

Lice
Lice is another external para
site that does much damage to
livestock during the winter and
this is the time they should be
controlled. II you wait until you
see the hair coming off the ami
NAL it is too late to prevent the
damage at that time. Lice should
be controlled with q pressure
sprayer using at least 800 pounds
pressure. Wet the animals thor
oughly. Material to use is BIC.
(benzene hexachloride) l pound
of 6 per cent BIC to 8 gallons of
water or l pound of 10 per cent
BIC to 10 gallons Of water. This
material will kill the lice and
eggs at the same application. DOT
is another material that can be
used but you will have to repeat
the application in IS to 20 days
as DOT does not kill the eggs.
Spraying with BIC will also
control grubs in the cattle's back
provided that you spray directly
down on top of the animals.

The Eisenhower adminiStra-

Democrats, a highly placed Re-

This was described as a neces-

vacant or are filled by temporary
appointeeS named by the POST

The Republicans have been

have found that, as a result OF
the Civil Service examinations,
the lists of eligjbles for many OF
these positions are nearly al

The problem of adequate po-
licing of relief rolls has been

down a four-engine British
bomber near the frontier be-
tween the British and Russian
zones of Germany today.
The pilot survived and was
taken injured to German hos
pital, but at least four British
flyers were killed. Three bodies
were found near the wreckage,
which landed mostly in this
town in the British zone. The
navigator, a bullet wound in his
shoulder, died of broken neck
as he was being taken to a hos

Parts of the wreckage were re-
ported to have fallen across the
Elbe River in Communist-con-

witnesses said the attacking
planes definitely encroached

fire we're heard and then the
bomber blew up, British Of

States jet plane was shot down
but the pilot parachuted to

Four Engine Bomber.
The plane shot down today
was a four-engine bomber, the
British Foreign Office said.
1t was a Royal Air Force Lin
coin, a propeller-drive World
War II type that is no match for
jets. Such planes usually carry
seven crewmen. The Foreign
Office said three men bailed out
and one later died.
