Wednesday, November 9, 1977 32 Pages Better method available - Scugog Township has de- cided to discontinue the spring warble fly treatment program for beef and dairy cattle. The decision was made at a special meeting of Council Friday afternoon with repre- oo sentatives from the Ministry of Agriculture. Recent scientific advance- ments indicate that the war- ble fly can be more effective- ly controlled if treatment to animals is carried out in the fall. However, beef and dairy producers are urged to act quickly as the use of systemics for treatment is not recommended in Decem- ber, January or February. Producers in Scugog will now be responsible for carry- ing out their own treatment programs. The cost of a gallon of the necessary chemicals is about $11.00, and a 500 pound steer can be treated for about 50 cents. . The main advantage of the fall treatment is that it Kills the warble grub before it has had a chance to work its way through the animal. Studies in the United States show that beef cattle returned about $10 for every one dol- or spent on treatment. eedlot cattle gained about 23 extra pounds over four - months, or about $10 at 1975 prices. Besides the savings in trim loss, hides are more valuable because of the elim- ination of warble holes. Warble flies lay their eggs in mid-summer onthe legs and underside of cattle. The larvae bore through the hide, into the connective tissue, and then start to make their way through the animal. By spring they have emerged through the back of the animal and then go into a pupa stage for several weeks. Adult flies emerge from the Scugog quits warble] program pupa and immediately start laying eggs on the underside of animals. Producers requiring more information on the fall treat- ment program warble flies should contact their local agriculture representative. against Go-ahead given for construction of industrial plaza Scugog Township council "has given Carlan Industries the go-ahead to start con- struction .of a 20,000 square foot industrial plaza at the corner of Simcoe Street and Regional Road 8. At a special meeting Fri- day afternoon with develop- er Tony Cesaroni and officials of Carlan, council authorized the signing of a site plan agreement, pending final approval of elevations and receipt of a $10,000 letter of credit to guarantee com- pletion of -such things as landscaping, log paving, cul- verts, street lighting, and inspections by the Township engineer. Most of the meeting, which lasted about an hour, was taken up in working out an agreement on who would be responsible for . installing four street lights and paving some 300 feet of Simcoe Street adjacent to the pro- posed plaza. Mayor Lawrence Malcolm 'asked that; the developer- assume the cost of installing the lights, two on Simcoe Street and two on Regional Road 8. Mr. Cesatoni argued against this, saying that the municipality as a whole will benefit from the street lights, and should therefore . pay for their installation. On a suggestion from Councillor Jerry Taylor, a compromise of sorts was reached with the developer agreeing to install two 250- watt mercury vapour lights on Simcoe Street at an esti- mated cost of $1,500. The decision to pave Simcoe Street was deferred, but the Township agreed to have the road surface treat-- ed with oil in the spring of next year. Mr. Cesaroni indicated to council that he wanted the necessary agreements sign- ed quickly to allow for con- struction of footings and foundation walls before the: frost gets into the ground this fall. The plans for the industrial plaza, Phase 1 of develop- ment along Regional Road 8, calls for a single storey, 20,000 square foot building, which could house up to eight separate units, each 2,500 square feet. It is expected that the $250,000 building will be ready for occupancy by jthe early summer of next year.
