No Screw-Worms
In 1962 May
Become Reality
No screw-worms in 1962 may
le a reality if the Southwest
Animal Research Foundation
supported by County Screw-
worm Committees can acceler-
ate their program to take ad-
vantage of the recent cold
weather.
It is believed that screw-
worm flied have been killed-pastl
the Rio Grdnde River and that
if a buffer zone could be seti
np within the next few weeks
they could be prevented from
reinfesting the state this
spring. The buffer zone would
be about a 30 mile wide band
.along the river where sterilized
flies would be dropped.
This is a very worthy pro-
gram Eldon Lange committee
chairman stated. He said that
all farmers and ranchers should
lie interested in the plan.
Lange said that contributions
are being accepted in Bartlett
by the following: Eldon Lange
First National Bank Friedrich
Grain Co. Steglich Feed and

All farmers and ranchers who
Tiave not made their contribu-
tions are urged to do so at
-their earliest convenience.
