The next t> weeks (during June
and Jul> is the time to treat your
cattle with one of the two rather
new systemic insecticides for the
control of grubs It has been esti-
mated that this one pest alone
costs the livestock industry $IW-
000.000.00 each > ear Grubby cat-
tle when marketed are usually
docked 2 or 3 cents per pound
According to research workers
xs ith the Texas Agricultural Ex-
periment Station anri other re-
search stations over the V S both
Co-Ral anri Trolene gives better
than 90 control of grubs when
properly applteri
The cattle grub is the larval
stage of the heel fly. This pest J
hatches out in the spring and lays
1 its eggs on the legs and underside j
1 of livestock You have all seen |
cattle in the early spring curl ;
I their tails over their backs anri .
run like mad across the pasture
and heard people remark "those
Seattle are really feeling good to-1
| riay". The truth of the matter is
I that the cattle were not feeling
j good but were scared stiff by the ;
1 heel fly Although this fly does j
j not sting nor bite the "buzz" 1
sound that he makes terrifies the1
cattle
i When the heel fl\ gets after the
| cattle the animals seek shelter in
I dark places or stand in water
I This lowers the nutritive level of
' the calf causing lower weight
t gams or slow growth
I When the eggs of the heel fl>
hatch the larve burrow their w ay '
. through the animals skin and rmg- j
j rate through the asimals body |
| along the belly to the front of the
! animal and in early fall start an
I upward mucement to the back of
1 the animal
i At this time the animal is fur-1
lushing free board and room" to j
I the grubs for about 8 months of,
major packing companies that
slaughtered most of the livestock
Today those same 4 companies
handle a very small per cent of
all livestock slaughtered Accord-
lug *0 a recent report by the Tex-
as Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion there were more than B00
slaughtering plants in operation
in Texas in 19.MI Of these 400
were classified as Individuals and
small butchers. 27:t were grocery
stores and meat markets, 183 were
frozen food locker plants and 82
were commercial packing plants
Then too a very small per cent
of livestock marketed today are
marketing ut the terminal mar-
kets and that is where most of
the plants are being closed. Most
livestock are marketed locally
through auction rings and local
packing plants Most of the closed
plants are old plants, built 50
years ago and would cost more to
make them modern that it would
to build a new plant There con-
tinues to be plenty of livestock
slaughtered In 19.V5 in Texas the
total meat production totaled l,-
333.199.000 pounds
