Hoppar Infestation
Weather conditions during the
next few weeks, may well deter-
mine the seriousness of the grass-
hopper infestations for 1960. More
moisture will bring on a big hatch,
however fanners and ranchmen
should be watching for the early
hatches and if and when the yourig
’hoppers become numerous tnough
to warrant control measures, ac-
tion should be taken.
The Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station has just released a
control work done by J. C. Gaines
report covering the grasshopper
and H. A. Deeen. professors in the
department of entomology of Tex-
as A#M College System, during
the past two years.
They say that over a long period
of years the poison bait method
has not been effective in central
Texas but that they are effective
and are still recommended for use
in the more arid portions of the
state where there i sa scarcity of
vegetative growth to complete
with the poison baits as grass-
hopper food.
Control tests were conducted
Viuring 1948 and 1949 to evaluate
several organic insecticides applied
as dusts and sprays for ’hopper
control. The dusts were applied
in the early mormng when the air
was calm. The -pray emulsions,
made by diluting oil miscible con-
centfetes, were applied later in the
iday with a compressed air sprayer

GET THE ANTS AND
CHIGGERS SAYS
COUNTY AGENT
Here’s a tip from R. .0. Dunkle,
county agent, that can make life
more pleasant and comfortable for
you this summer. In many sections
of the state, warm weather means
more ants—both the household
kind and red ants and “chiggers.”
Dunkle says he ants can be con-
trolled with chlordane. Just dust
the ground surface around the ant
hills—do a thorough job—with a
6 per cent chlordane powder. If
the ants are scattered over the en-
tir yard, you’ll be wise t ogive the
entire yard a good dusting—at the
same time you’ll get the red bugs
or ‘‘chiggers’’ too, he says If you
prefer you can use a 3 per cent
chlordane solution.
If your lawn is infested with
“chiggers" only, he says a 5 per
cent DDT dust or just erdinary
dusting sulphur will control them,
but when used in combination they
are evening more effective. They
can be applie dwith a hand dust-
ing gun. You should remembe-.
he says .that neither the DDT nor
sulphur will control the ants. Use
the chlordane for that.
equipped with a valve to regulate
the pressure at 40 pounds. The
treatments Aere made early in the
(season when the hoppers were
small, less than one-fourth grown.
They say that toxapnene or
chlordane applied either as a dust
or spray emulsion will give good
control* of young grasshoppers.
Either of these materials applied
at from a half to a pound and a
quarter pjer acre as a spray emul-
sion, or from one to a pound and
a half per acre as dusts should
control young ’hoppers, but heav-
ier applications are necessary for
controlling the Tidppers after they
t larger. This low dosage may
applied to pastures without
causing Injury to livestock should
not be need fat pastures that are
being graded by dairy cattle. To
protect crops from migrating adult
’hoppers, from 1 to I pounds per
acre of either material must be
Med.
Results of field tests made In
1949, dm entomologists say, show
hta toxaphene and chlordane were
more effective when applied as
spray emulsions than when applied
as dusts.

Farmers Cautioned
To Watch For Screw
Worm Flies On Cattle
A recently completed survey by
the Bureau of Entomology and
Plant Quarantine shows that there
(exists to the livestock owner a real
threat and it’s in the form of the
screw worm fly.
R. O. Dunkle, county agent, says
the report shows that more screw
worm flies survived the winter in
a larger area than any time since
records have been kept. They were
found in 134 Texas counties against
the usual of 30 or less. Texas, as
a rule, says Dunkle, is the only
state west of the Mississippi
where they survive the winter.,Bui
not this time. They were found in
New Mexico, Arizona, and Cali-
fornia as well.
Dunkle says all livestock own-
ers should watch for early screw
worm infestations, especially in
animals that are to be shipped to
‘northern states. The possibilities
ot shipping infested animals is
greater than ever before and ev-
ery precauton should be taken to
see that no livestock is shipped
north that is infested.
He says dealers in livestock sup-
plies are requested to keep a good
supply of Smear 62 on hand for
control of the pest should serious
outbreaks occur. He recommends
the use of Smear 62 on all wounds,
whether screw worms are present
or not. Says it’s a good surgical
dressing nad its use is good in-
surance against infestation.
