Fanning Today
with Johnnie McKay
By JOHNNIE McKAY
County Ext. Agent (AG)
Cherokee County
Pond weeds are more of
a problem this year than
usual or we’re just hearing
more about them. I guess
the big problem with pond
weeds is that there are so
many different kinds of
weeks; and more often
than not, it takes a dif-
ferent chemical to kill dif-
ferent weeds. To add to the
problem, most of the
chemicals are expensive
and many have restrictions
on water use following ap-
plication.
If we only have one weed
to deal with in a pond it
makes things easier;
however, frequently there
are several weeds in the
same pond. Billy Higgin-
botham, Extension
Fisheries specialist, and I
looked at a pond that con-
tained water primrose,
pond weed, pond scum,
brushy pond weed and
arrowhead
Another problem with
controlling pond weeds at
this time is oxygen
depletion caused by rotting
of dead material after
treatment. If growth
covers a large area of the
pond or lake only limited
portions may be treated at
one time.
Due to the complexity of
the problem, no blanket
recommendcation can be
made to control pond
weeds. Each case must be
considered individually.
And it’s best to bring a
sample of the weeds to the
County Agent's office in a
jar or plastic bag for
positive identification. It’s
difficult to describe these
weeds adequately by
phone. You Just about have
to see them to give a
positive identification, nd
the chemical that will kill
one weed may not "phase”
another.
I see a lot of cattle stan-
ding in the creek or a farm
pond. I don’t know whether

there is still some heel fly
activity or the cattle are
just trying to stay cool. At
any rate, it is a reminder
that now is a good time to
apply an insecticide to con-
trol the cattle grub, the
larval stage of the heel fly.
As you may know the
heel fly does not bite, but
lays eggs on the hair of the
lower legs, belly or udder
of the animal. These eggs
hatch in a few days,
penetrate the skin and
spend the next few months
migrating through the con-
nective tissue of the body,
spending mo6t of their time
in the esophagus or gullet
area of the neck before
moving on to back.
Grubs normally appear
in the backs of cattle from
October to February, but
these months are not the
time to control them. Much
of their damage is already
done and treatment is very
limited at that time.
Cattle grub control
should be carried out in
East Texas between May 1
and September 1, and
generally the earlier after
May 1 the better. Several
systemic pesticides (those
that are absorbed into the
skin and circulate
&
throughout the system)
may be administered to
cattle as dips, sprays,
pour-ons or spot-ons. Lac-
tating dairy animals should
not be treated and certain
chemicals should be used
with caution on Brahman
animals. Be certain to read
thoroughly the directions
and precautions on the
label.
For more complete in-
formation ask your County
Agricultural Agent’s office
for B-1306, "Suggestions
for Controlling External
Parasites of Livestock and
Poultry."
While we’re on the sub-
ject of livestock insects, it
appears that due to the
wetter than usual spring the
horsefly may be more of a
problem on cattle this year
than usual. Heavy
populations of hornflies
and mosquitoes are also
present. Our Extension en-
tolomogist tells us that the
chemically impregnated
ear tags are doing an ex-
cellent job of controlling
hornflies and appears to be
reducing the horsefly and
mosequito populations as
well.
