And: all bemuse of the Departraent's war- ble fly campaign. ), For years the Dea'artment has con, ducted an. extermination campaign against the warble fly. As a •result, this- fly has been practically wiped ..out in some. farming areas. Begrettahln it still continues its costly damage in most parts of Canada. The grubs of tile warble fly barrow through. the bodiee of ea;ttle, emerging on, the back 'where they bore holes through the hide. In addition to spoiling leather, the fly also robs the • farmer of the herd's milk, for when it approaches the cow to lay eggs oh the animal's heels the' fly terrifies .the Um ceasing her to .run 'wildly, tail aloft, resulting in .the losing of flesh and lessening her output pi mi/k. It .was to Illustrate the costliness of, felling to ecultryl the warble Illy that the Departmeift last .year iesiie,d a warning poster. On it, L. B: Jameson, artist of the Department's Division, of Entomology, drew a cartoon of a Lem). end hungry cow • in fall flight with wallae flies hot on her heels. Above this frantic ereature were tfie words: "Fast, ain't she?" and below, "But you can't keep meat on a greyhound."' Illustrating its point perfectly e the poster caught the attention of Cattle. producers so impressively that they' stepped ap their purchases of warble wash. Net only farmers took to this etas): ter; bus .and truck arteers did„ too. The drivers. pasted the picture Of the spe.eding cow and the • catery, "Fast, 'aine. she?'" .tto • the side ot 'their vehicles. And, as they drove their buses and truces along the highway the' racing cow speeded along with then). • But as the cow was drawn running towards the left *side of the poster, the delverscould paste 'her only on the left side of their' vehicleseKnOW- .ing that if they pasted her on.the right side she's be facing backward, the drivers say the Department now bas to help them. So what they are, now asking is that the. Department on its 1917 warble fly poster depict a pestered cow -head- ing tor the right. And they'll probab- ly get what they want. At•tist L. B. Jameson says) lie eau draw a cow runningright as easily as limning 'left' and, he adds, "While the .Department hula primarily in the business of decorating trucks and buses, it does welcome any means of spreading warnings against the war- ble fly.
