Sheep Tick Control Advancing by Rotenone and Other Insecticides
The Plant Quarantine Department reports rotenone as a safe cheapest tick killer for sheep. Tests from 1947 to spring showed 8 ounces derris powder with 5 percent rotenone gave 100 percent tick control. Wettable powders and sprays offer similar results though heavier fleece can impede coverage. New wool storage saves costs. 12 clips sold at a premium using flat bags weighing 160 to 180 pounds. Vetch seed remains scarce due to flooding and drought. Rising Star seed production has declined after past profits, with Oregon fields ruined by high water.
