STABLE FLY ( Stomoxys calci trans L.) 
Texas 0. G. Babcock (July 29). "The stable fly was practically -unknown 
■until the last two weeks when they have increased just enough 
to be noticed and to bother the legs of milk cows." 
F. C. Bishopp "Throughout the spring this insect was present in 
more than usual noEbers in north central Taxas. It has subsided 
remarkably during June in the rather hot, dry weather." 
SCREW-WORM. FLY (Chry somy a. macellaria Fab.) 
Texas D, C. Parman (July 29). "This species has occurred in great 
abundance in Ur&lde and adjacent counties. The maximum abundance 
of cases among live stock occurred during the latter part of June 
and early July, subsiding rapidly after the first week in July," 
0. G. Babcock (July 29) . "Very abundant throughout the month of 
June. At its height the last week in June at Sonora* On the 
decline since that date, and have almost disappeared at the 
present time. Trapping and carcass burning have proved of value 
at the Experiment Station at Sonora» Only twelve cases to date 
this year at the Station, and six cases by one ranchman." 
F. C. Bishopp (August 20). "The hot, dry weather during July 
reduced this pest to a point where it is causing practically 
little damage to live stock. It is expected that a slight increase 
will be experienced in the latter part of August and early 
September owing to more or less general August showers."
