Screwworm ‘Fly Factory 9
Seeks Production Increase
MISSION—The fight to eradi
cate the bothersome screwworm
from; the Southwest is receiving
increased momentum as the plant in
which sexually-sterile screwworm
flies are reared is being modified
to facilitate production of more
than 130 million flies per week.
Officials of the Southwest Screw
worm Eradication Program an
nounced that the increase in sterile
flies should be available by mid-
July. The additional flies will be
used to combat isolated screwworm
outbreaks outside of the area where
•the insect can normally survive
winter temperatures, as well as to
eliminate native flies in the south
ern parts of Texas and New Mexico
which comprise the overwintering
area.
No increase in building space
is required in order to expand pro
duction, officials stated. Some mod
ifications of existing equipment are
necessary and an increase in per
sonnel and cost of production and
distribution is expected.
The plant near Mission was com
pleted in June 1962 and was de
signed to produce an average of 50
million flies per week with a top
production of 75 million.
As a result of experimentation
that developed many improvements
in fly-rearing techniques, more
than 100 million flies have been
produced each week for several
months with little change in origi
nal plant and equipment.
The announcement that the “fly
factory” is to be modified comes at
a time when Southwestern farmers
and ranchers are experiencing less
than 10 percent as many screw
worm infestations as last year.
Since January 1, 1963, about 1,200
screwworm cases have been report
ed in the eradication area composed
of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Arkansas and Louisiana, in con
tract with more than 9,500 cases
reported for the same period in
1962.
“Carry Me Back to Old Vir-
ginny” was a hit song in 1888.

Session Today
Dr. Charles Leinweber, head of
range and forestry at A&M, will
participate in a cactus control plan-
nig session Thursday in San An
tonio.
He will meet with South Texas
ranchers and Soil Conservation Dis
trict supervisors in the Soil Con
servation District office.
Leinweber said cactus invasion
of pastures in South Texas and the
Rio Grande Plains has become es
pecially serious in recent years.
Widespread brush control efforts
by ranchers have opened the way
for cactus to take over.
He said the object of such plan
ning sessions is to determine what
kind of research is needed to con
trol the pasture pest. Ranchers
want most of the cactus killed out,
with just enough left as cattle feed
insurance during dry weather.
“This is one of the most ticklish
pasture problems we have now,”
Leinweber said.
He will be accompanied to the
meeting by Garland Hoffman, Tex
as Agricultural Extension service
range specialist at A&M.
