Nose flies and new horse pest threaten farms this summer
New Hampton Iowa July 16 Farmers report nose flies are unusually bad this year making work with horses difficult. The pest, a bot fly from the north, lays eggs on horse lips causing irritation and pain. Agents advise winter treatment with carbon bisulphide to kill bots before they mature, and widespread cooperation is needed to prevent spread. Nose bag sales are rising as districts report the pest moving east at about 30 miles per year from Texas origins.
