SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
The cemetery, explains World
Book Encyclopedia, is built
around the home of General
Robert E. Lee and stands on
land that once formed part of
the Confederate general’s estate.
In fact, Arlington is the
original name of the property,
located on the Potomac River in
Virginia.
The home was built by a
grandson of Martha Washington,
Whose great-granddaughter was
Lee’s wife.
During the Civil War, the Un-
ion army occupied the estate
and used it as a training camp
and field hospital.
Tlie cemetery is probably best
known for the tomb of the Un-
knowns of World Wars I and II
and the Korean War, guarded
'by a sentry 24 hours a day. But
there is also a monument to
more than 2,000 unknown soldi-
ers who died during the Civil
War.
Day. A summer program of free
acts also will begin June 1, with
the Duke Family Circus Acts of
jugglers, ponies and dogs open-
ing the season.
The free acts will begin at 8
and 10 p.m. nightly on the Mid-
way Stage. New acts will open
each Friday night and run
through the following Thursday
night.
Acrobats, clowns, animal acts,
jugglers, wire walkers, tumblers,
aerialists and other circus acts
have been booked for the sea-
son, according to Kenneth Col-
lins, manager of the Summer
Xdidway. The free acts are pre-
sented through courtesy of the
Coca-Cola Bottling Company.
The Million-Dollar Midway at
State Fair Park has more than
20 major rides and a dozen
scaled-down rides for young-
sters, ranging from the huge
$100,000 roller coaster and Wild
Mouse down to the 12-foot high
baby Ferris wheel in Kiddie
Town. The Monorail and Little
Showboat in the lagoon also will
operate during the summer.
The Summer Midway, an op-
eration of the State Fair of Tex-
as, will open at 6 p.m. weekdays
and 12 noon Saturdays and Sun-
days.
Screwworm
Program
Results Noted
Mission — “Though we are
just getting started, I believe we
are now on the road toward
eradication of the screwworm in
the Southwest.’’ This statement
by R. L. Murphree, DeWitt Coun-
ty, expresses the feeling of of-
ficials of the Animal Disease
Eradication Division, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, Texas
Animal Health Commission and
Southwest Animal Health Re-
search Foundation.
“I have had only one screw-
worm case up to mid-year,”
Murphree continued. “Normally
I would have had 15 to 20 cases.
Though part of this may be due
to the winter freeze, I have
found several blows or egg
masses which have not hatched.
They have just dried up and
indicate tihe release of sterile
flies in the area is helping now.”
Gillespie County ranchman
Hardin, Willow Springs,
USDA officials explain the
apparent leveling off of screw-
worm cases in many counties
during the past week is just a
preview of results that will be
obtained once the new 75-mil-
lion-per-week sterile fly pro-
duction plant at Mission goes
into operation. Production has
been tnlcreased to almost 30
million flies per week at the
temporary facilities at Kerrville,
but this has not been sufficient
to do the job.
Progress of construction at the
Mission plant is another reason
for the favorable outlook, the
officials explained. Work is
ahead of schedule, and the plant
should be completed by mid-
June. Fly production will be un-
derway by July 1.
Eventual eradication of this
costly livestock pest will come
from a combination of the re-
lease of sterile flies and work
by livestock owners. Stockmen
should adhere closely to good
screwworm management prac-
tices to protect their herds and
help reduce screwworm popula-
tions in order that maximum re-
sults can be obtained from the
sterile fly releases.
“We hope that no one had the
idea that there would be no
screwworms in Texas this first
year,” commented Claude Mc-
Can, Victoria County ranchman
and a member of the board of
trustees of SWAHRF. “Although
we have had fewer cases than in
the past in many areas, it is a
question of each individual
stockman staying with the
fight.”
McCan added that they had
just dehorned and castrated the
third round and have had only
two screwworm cases. Normally
at this time of the year they ex-
pect 100 to 150 cases. “Since
Victoria County is in real screw-
worm country,” he said, “you
could norally expect almost 100
per cent infestation when work-
ing or dropping calves at this
time of the year.”
Every case of screwworms put
out of commission now prevents
thousands of cases three to five
weeks later. In turn, this helps
make more effective use of the
limited supply of available flies
explained the officials.
Officials stressed the stock-
men should now follow a reg-
ular preventive spray program
using Co-Ral or Korlan, fol-
lowing; closely the instructions
on the labels. These sprays give
protection for two to three
weeks.
Cattlemen in Texas are due
praise for the support already
given but officials of the co-
operating agencies stressed that
no one should let up in his re-
sponsibilities lo the program
now, the officials said.
These responsibilities include
the regular spray program, close
and frequent observation of all
animals, pre-treatment of all
wounds before they become in
fested with screwworms, early
and intensive treatment of
screwworm - infested animals
and frequent retreatment. Also
the collection of 10 dorms from
each wound for positive identi-
fication. These worms should be
delivered to the local county
agent or livestock inspector.
