Ten months In milk and two
months dry, says O. O. Oibson, as-
sistant Extension dairyman for
Texas A. and M College, has been
found to be the most efficient ba-
sis for operating a herd. Cows,
therefore, should be bred back a-
bowt twelve weeks after freshen-
ing. It has been found that a large
part of the lactations being report-
ed from herds on test in dairy
herd improvement associations are
less than ten months in length.
The objection is raised, Oibson
observes, that in trying to allow a
two months dry period sometimes
a cow is put dry after she has been
milking ten months, and because
she was not bred at the time
dairymen thought she will stand
dry longer than two months.
This has happened in many herds.
But about the only solution is to
keep breeding dates on every cow
and make it a rule to turn each
dry seven months after she is
known to be with calf.
The importance of inheritance
should not be under-estimated.
Definite progress is being made in
improving the interited capacity
of dairy cows through the location
and use of sires of known ability.
Ahount 7,500 bulls have been prov-
ed in the last five years.
Texas has lagged in the number
of bulls proved, due in part to
lack of information needed for the
dam and daughter comparisons.
By having all cows identified and
the production records reported to
the Bureau of Dairy Industry, dam
and daughter comparisons will be
prepared at no cost to the herd
owner, Oibson says.

Conditions in the section where
screworm flies overwinter are such
that "a rather severe outbreak of
worms may be expected next
spring says Cameron Siddall,
Extension Service entomologist for
Texas A. and M. College.
“All animals should be watched
closely for the next few months
and all wounded or infected ani-
mals treated thoroughly and
promptly to prevent worms matur-
ing in the wounds,” he said.
"Only in this way can the indi-
cated devastating outbreak be a-
voided during the coming season.”
Basing his warning upon a re-
port by E C. Cushing, senior en-
tomologist of the bureau of ento-
mology and plant quarantine at
Menard, Siddall said current mois-
ture conditions are very favorable
for a severe outbreak and unless
unusually cold weather during the
remainder of February kills the
large number of pupae in the
ground a high March emergence
of flies may lie expected.
The high percentage of worms
dropped in October and November
produced flies in December and j
January. The adult population of
these flies was above normal over
the Balconese scarpment area and '
over the Rio Grande plain to Zapa- '
ta, and low on the Gulf plain.
The abnormally warm weather
in December and the first half of!
January allowed the flies t0 de-
velop and evipost, mostly in sur-1
gical wounds and the navel of ani- j
mals born during these months, j
Many screwworm cases have been
reported from Sheffield to Kerr-
ville and south over the entire nor-
mal ovemal over-wintering area.
Siddall urged livestockmen to
prevent an early buildup of the
Mr sPrinR population by perform-
