Sheep Ticks Succumbs To Dip Better Than Spray
The Plant quarantine Department of Agriculture and Bureau of Entomology found rotenone a safe cheapest tick control for sheep. Dipping with derris or cube powder 5 percent rotenone gave 100 percent tick control until shearing. Wettable powders and higher spray pressure improved coverage though not always perfect. A new wool storing method saves 2 cents per pound, with flat bags 160 to 180 pounds, clean handling and warehousing. Vetch seed prospects look poor this year due to flooding and drought after Rising Star and Oregon areas faced high water and late freezes.
