Fight Successful Battle Against Wa The warble fly, that long time scuorge of cattlemen, is fighting a losing battle in Duf- ferin County, Ontario. For the past two years a cam- paign has, been waged against this expensive pest, using a rhle Flies systematic drug called Ruel- ene. The drug, applied by ladle to the back of the anmial, is absorbed into the system. Re- sults have shown that it com- bats the parasite effectively. More than 60 per cent of the farmers in Dufferin County have enrolled in a program that covers six townships, Bruce Matheson, Provincial Depart- ment of Agriculture represen- tative, says: "In 1965, over 16,000 head of cattle were given the Ruelene treatment. We've reached a point where most of the better livestock men on the County are enrolled and the gospel is spreading." Results in Dufferin County have shown that the systemic is also an effective louse killer.75 1b. per head.' In its larval stage the war- ble fly is a grub which spends most of its life inside the host animal. It retards growth and causes further loss in damaged hides, The Meat Packers Coun- cil of Canada estimates that in- fested cattle slaughtered in late winter and early spring are worth, on average, $2.68 less than grub free cattle. Ad- ditionally, it is not unusual for gadding on pasture to reduce summer beef gains by 50 1b. to 3 Supplied by THE OSHAWA WHOLESALE LIMITED supply depot for progressive independents Sept. 28, FREE y Ld 0] ULL LHL Prices Effective 29, 30 Oct. 1 Limit SAVE 40c.

"The best time to apply Sys- temics-is in the early fall," ac- cording to Dr. Alfred Kennedy of Dow Chemical of Canada, Limited, the manufacturers. "At this time the flies have stopped laying eggs and all the larvae will be somewhere in the animal's body, probably working their way up the legs." Under government regula- tions, treated animals may be application and when in accor- dance with the directions on the label, side effects and illnesss rarely occur. Under the Dufferin County program, a team of selected farmers was chosen to apply the treatment and to promote the program. These are paid $3.25 per gallon of Ruelene used and with a good list of farmers an applicator can make an extra $100 a week.
