The fly that bites your dairy
cow may also take a sizeable bite
out of the monthly milk check.
Flies are pesky insects on Michigan farms.
Rly control on dairy animals
and around barns is not always
easy, says Ray L. Janes, Extension entomologist at Michgian
State University.
One of the worst pests is the
face fly. Related to the house fly
. . . only darker and larger . . .
it is one of the more annoying
to Michigan dairy herds.
The face fly feeds on secretions around the face of livestock . . . especially around the
eye, lips and nose.
Janes says pyrethrum oil-base
sprays and DDVP corn-sugar
salves are excellent control materials for face flies. DDVP is
applied in a six-inch long strip,
one-inch wide, on the animal's
forehead. "Repeat every morning for 14 days and after that apply as needed", Janes suggests.
One fluid ounce of pyrethrum
should be applied to the animal's
face, neck, shoulders and front
legs with a hand sprayer. Daily
treatments . . . preferably in the
morning . . . while the cows are
still in their stanchions will control the annoying pests, Janes
adds.
A pyrethrum plus piperonyl
butoxide mixture is the best bet
for controlling horn, horse, deer
and stable flies, as well as mosquitoes and cattle lice. This materials should b e sprayed
thoroughly over the entire ani-

mal. Apply one to two quarts
every three to seven days or as
needed.
But, fly control doesn't stop
with spraying cattle. Flies also
are uninvited guests in dairy
barns.
"Mist sprays and fogs are
most effective in closed barns",
says Janes. Some of these materials can also be applied directly
to cattle for fly control. However, be sure and check the package label before using materials,
Janes cautions. Most mist sprays
do not produce residues and are
not long lasting.
Path To
Paradise
You can't go to Hell on a
state highway, but soon you'll
be able to drive to Paradise.
Neither of Michigan's communities named after two
widely separated places in the
next world — Hell and Paradise '— is on the state's 9,400
mile state highway system.
Hell, near Ann Arbor in Livingston county, and Paradise,
west of S-iult Ste. Marie in
Chippewa county, are both on
county roads.
State Highway Commissioner John C. Maekie reports,
however,- that the Highway Department will take over county
roads that lead to Paradise and

US-27 Leads
State In
i rathe bail!
The Michigan State Highway
Department says it appears that
statewide traffic volumes are
headed for their biggest increase
in seven years.
State Highway Commissioner
John C. Maekie, in his monthly
report to Gov. John B. Swainson,
said "barring some change in
economic conditions ... we expect an increase of approximately five per cent in traffic volumes this year."
Maekie said this would be the
biggest increase in Michigan
traffic since 1955 when volumes
increased 8.4 per cent over the
previous year. That was the
same year auto production topped the seven million mark. ...
If the trend continues, Maekie
said, Michigan motorists will
log an estimated 35 billion miles
this year compared to 33.3 billion during 1961 ... an increase
of nearly two billion miles.
Maekie said the optimistic
forecast is based on information
collected on 70 permanent ..af-*
fie recorders during the first
four months of the year.
Volumes during the four-
month count usually give "a
fairly accurate picture of volumes for the remainder of the
year," he said.
The traffic recorders showed
that January through April traffic had increased in most regions
of the state. The lone exception
was in the western half oi: the
Upper Peninsula.
The biggest increases, the
Highway Department said, were
on freeways.
Increases during the first four
months included 31.5 per cent on
the US-27 Freeway south of
Houghton Lake, 25.2 per cent on
temporary 1-94 north of New
Buffalo, and 14.3 "per cent on
US-27 near Wolverine and St.
Johns.

The fly that bites your dairy cow may also take a sizeable bite out of the monthly milk check. Flies are pesky insects on Michigan farms. Rly control on dairy animals and around barns is not always easy, says Ray L. Janes, Extension entomologist at Michgian State University. One of the worst pests is the face fly. Related to the house fly . . . only darker and larger . . . it is one of the more annoying to Michigan dairy herds. The face fly feeds on secretions around the face of livestock . . . especially around the eye, lips and nose. Janes says pyrethrum oil-base sprays and DDVP corn-sugar salves are excellent control materials for face flies. DDVP is applied in a six-inch long strip, one-inch wide, on the animal's forehead. "Repeat every morning for 14 days and after that apply as needed", Janes suggests. One fluid ounce of pyrethrum should be applied to the animal's face, neck, shoulders and front legs with a hand sprayer. Daily treatments . . . preferably in the morning . . . while the cows are still in their stanchions will control the annoying pests, Janes adds. A pyrethrum plus piperonyl butoxide mixture is the best bet for controlling horn, horse, deer and stable flies, as well as mosquitoes and cattle lice. This materials should b e sprayed thoroughly over the entire ani- Starts Sheriff Campaign Robert Rowley, candidate for the Republican nomination for Clare County Sheriff is a resident of Clare county since 1947, 40 years old and a veteran of WW II.

But, fly control doesn't stop with spraying cattle. Flies also are uninvited guests in dairy barns. "Mist sprays and fogs are most effective in closed barns", says Janes. Some of these materials can also be applied directly to cattle for fly control. However, be sure and check the package label before using materials, Janes cautions. Most mist sprays do not produce residues and are not long lasting. Path To Paradise You can't go to Hell on a state highway, but soon you'll be able to drive to Paradise. Neither of Michigan's communities named after two widely separated places in the next world — Hell and Paradise '— is on the state's 9,400 mile state highway system.

US-27 Leads State In i rathe bail! The Michigan State Highway Department says it appears that statewide traffic volumes are headed for their biggest increase in seven years. State Highway Commissioner John C. Maekie, in his monthly report to Gov. John B. Swainson, said "barring some change in economic conditions ... we expect an increase of approximately five per cent in traffic volumes this year." Maekie said this would be the biggest increase in Michigan traffic since 1955 when volumes increased 8.4 per cent over the previous year. That was the same year auto production topped the seven million mark. ... If the trend continues, Maekie said, Michigan motorists will log an estimated 35 billion miles this year compared to 33.3 billion during 1961 ... an increase of nearly two billion miles. Maekie said the optimistic forecast is based on information collected on 70 permanent ..af-* fie recorders during the first four months of the year. Volumes during the four- month count usually give "a fairly accurate picture of volumes for the remainder of the year" he said. The traffic recorders showed that January through April traffic had increased in most regions of the state. The lone exception was in the western half oi: the Upper Peninsula. The biggest increases, the Highway Department said, were on freeways. Increases during the first four months included 31.5 per cent on the US-27 Freeway south of Houghton Lake, 25.2 per cent on temporary 1-94 north of New Buffalo, and 14.3 "per cent on US-27 near Wolverine and St. Johns.
