follow label directions right down
to the last word-if you don't, ex-
pect good control. At least three
materials are now on the market
which have been tried and found
to be adequate. In a few years
you can expect several more
which will probably do as good a
job, but which may not require
as much car in application. Sys-
temic insecticides r effective be-
cause they are circulated through
the body and kill any insects in or
on the animal. There are several
methods of getting these materials
into the ANIMAL; they may be Civ
en- as a bolus or drench, they may
be fed over a period of several
days mixed with feed, they may
be sprayed on the animal and alb
sorbed through the skin. they may
be poured onto the back skin at
a more concentrated level to be
absorbed, or they may be injected
beneath the skin or into the mus
Gle of the animal. The only meth
DDS approved for general use at
the present time are: bolus, spray,
pour-on, and feed additive.
Systemic Insecticides applied to
cattle as a spray or dip gives good
louise control. Pour-on or bolus
treatments are less effective on
lice.
Toxic symptoms brought about

probably more common in Monta-
ma than in most other areas. There
is very good evidence that these
symptoms are brought about by
the protein material released by
the grubs when they are killed.
Since calves have more grubs, they
are most likely to show reactions.
Also, the later in the season the
grubs are killed the greater the
greater amount of toxic mat
erial they release into the ami
mails body. Usually symptoms will
disappear within a day or two, but
animals have been killed when
treatment was delayed to a late
date.
1t is recommended that treating
be done before the first of Novem-
Der. There is still no good substan-
tial evidence that treatment will
pay off in greater weight gains
consequently some other basis
should be used for justification.
For further information as to the
materials on the market and its
proper use, please contact your
County Extension Office.

Do not cut along the fold; Gu.
carefully, following the rib of the
fabric, the true grain line.
The fold of the fabric is diff.
cult to press out, so avoid using i
when laying out the pattern. Wher
you lay out the pattern and plar
to cut, pin your pattern to the
right side of the fabric witt
lengthwise folds along a single
rib of the knit. Avoid stretching
the fabric when plnnlng the pat
tern. Use sharp shears and holC
the fabric secure, without pulling
or lifting.
Before beginning to sew. ties
with a sample. Stitch a double
thickness on the lengthwise, cross
