some mites leave the BIRDS in the
daytime and hide in cracks of the
building.
If some are found, the first step
is to determine what they are. To
help identify these external para
sites, and to outline iii detail the
control practices, two leaflets are
available at your County Agents
Office or the Extension Poultry Of
fee at the University of Delaware
Substation at Georgetown. These
leaflets are Poultry Lice and How
to Control Them" and Poultry
Mites and How 20 Control Them.
These are free for the asking.
In general terms, they can be
controlled with roost paint, sprays,
dusts and dips. Materials include
Malathion, ID. d. T., Nicotine Sui
fate and right material for the par
ticular method, Lloyd said.
Check for parasites regularly and
if found take the necessary steps
to get rid of them, says the spe-
cialist. They cause birds to lose
weight, reduce egg production 10
to 30 per cent and may even cause
mortality. Good poultrymen keep
them under control.

Check For Poultry
Parasites

Summer time is the season when
external parasites multiply most
rapidly. This is also the season
when poultrymen are usually the
busiest with other jobs on the farm
and the little things are often neg
lected.
However, many times it is these
little things that cause the most
trouble with the laying flock.
Checking some sample birds in
the laying flock to detect the pres
ence of external paraties should be
a weekly chore, says Ray Lloyd,
Extension Poultryman, University
Of Delaware. These little ''varmits"
can only be seen by close observa-
tion of the birds. And, just because
none were seen one week doesn't
mean they won't be there the next
week
The two most serious external
parasites are poultry lice and poul-
try mites. 1t may be a good idea
to examine the birds at night as

DC. Seeks Funds
To Police New
Anti-Gyp Laws

District officials are seeking
money for additional employees
to help carry out the city's new
regulations controlling used-car
firms and home improvement
contractors.
In a proposed budget of
nearly $2.8 million for the De-
partment Of Licenses and In
Spections, about $4,000 is ear
marked to hire an investigator
and an auditor to handle the
work growing out Of the new
used-car regulations.
About $4,000 would be spent
on salaries for an investigator
and five clerks. to deal with the
increased work load resulting
from the new projections
against unscrupulous practices
in the home improvement field.
The proposed department
spending program for the fiscal
year beginning next July 1 is
about 1921 900 higher than the
estimated figure for the current
period.
Part Of the increase proposed
by the city budget Office would
be used to hire 13 additional
housing inspectors. The city
now has II of these inspectors,
with II Of them assigned to
field work. Under the proposed
budget, seven of the additional
inspectors would be assigned to
the second precinct area, where
six inspectors now are working.
