Screw Worm Control Work Cut Back In Texas Counties
After a year of cooperative efforts by the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine with county agents, screw worm activity was reduced and livestock losses lessened. The program is being curtailed with M. T. Burleson continuing work in Llano Mason McCulloch and San Saba counties until June 23 1987 after which no further demonstrations or meetings will be arranged. Dealers sell rentol and pine tar oil to stockmen and owners are urged to stockpile supplies to treat cases and prevent infestations. Urgent reports should go through the county agricultural agent to the Division of Screw Worm Control in San Antonio.
