BRENDA DALBY
. receives Health Award
The Move in Texas Brenda Dalby Receives State
4-H Health Award; Gets Scholarship
MISSION — Screwworms are
on the move again in Texas, and
with favorable, moist weather
and ranching operations creat-
ing conditions ideal for the in-
sect's development and migra-
tion, screwworm erad icaters
consider few areas of the state
completely safe frcm the threat
of outbreaks.
Since late September, when a
53 - day screwwonm - free per-
iod in Texas was ended, infesta-
tions hiave been reported in
southern, western and northern
^sections of tine state. How severe
a buildup can be expected will
depend largely on whether live-
stock producers use protective
measures on their animals and
^report infestations to eradication
ueadquarter;. so that emergency
treatment can be started.
Although the buildup in in-
festations began several weeks
later tihan during most years-
shortening the time screwworms
will be a ma or problem beJ^jro
cold weather limits their activi-
ties—damage can still be exten-
sive and control1 cost high. Out-
breaks 'are treated bv concen-
trated aerial releases of sexually
sterile flies and spraying of near
by herds--an expensive opera-
tion.
Dolph Briscoe, Jr. of Uvalde, j
president of the Southwest Ani-
mal Health Research Founda-
tion which cooperates with
state and federal agencies in the
program, said the current build-
up in cases presents a real chal-
lenge to the livestock industry.
^ He expressed confidence that
producers would not want t '
take risks that could jeopardize
the program's progress, pointing
out that Texas has had only
t * about 100 cases this year, com-
pared to many thousands in pre-
vious years.
Briscoe urged stockmen to take
special precautions in handling i
their animals and to use pre-
ventive smears that will protect
against infestation. Samples of
larvae collected from infested
wounds should be sent to eradi-
cation headquarters for positive
identiifcation. Specimens should
be collected from deep within
the center of the wound, because
screwworm larvae and other
blowfly larvae (which remain
near the surface) may inhabit
the same wound.
Brenda Dalby, outstanding
member of the Jenniview 4-111
Club, made it two-in-a-row for,
Stonewall County in the state:
4-H Health Awards program by
taking top honors in the 1964
program.
Last year's state winner was
Carolyn Sander, a member of
the Old Glory 4-11 Club.
The announcement from the
state 4-11 Club office said Bren-
da would recen'" a $150 scholar-
ship from Eli Lilly and Com-j
pany, Indianapolis, Indiana, don- i
or for the national 4-H Health
Awards program.
Brenda is the daughter of Mr.1
and has progressively added to
to her activities and demonstra-
tions in the health program. In
1064 she served as health chair-
man for the county 4-H camp
Aspermont kept their winning i
streak going here Friday night
