LICE AND RED CONTROL

Dusting Not Yet Approved

, Dusting of sheep for control of I - lice and keds has not yet been 5 officially approved in New Zea- 1 » land. » It had come to the notice of the ‘ > Department of Agriculture that < ; farmers were being informed that ( : treatment of sheep for lice and 1 keds by means of the dusting 1 » machinery was approved as < E efficient by the department; would ; be accepted as a substitute for , E dipping or spraying as required ( i by section 47 of the Stock Act, » and that sheep dusting powders 1 , would shortly be registered by the , i Stock Remedies Board, said the I livestock superintendent of the ’ P department in Christchurch, Mr . > H. Doyle, this week. “The department has not, to ’ r date, approved this method of . treatment as efficient and has not » at present accepted it as a sub- ‘ a stitute for dipping as required by ' section 47 of the Stock Act,” said Mr Doyle. “The dusting method is ’ being thoroughly tested under all a conditions and some time must ' elapse before it is proved efficient or otherwise. “Under section 47 of the Stock a Act, every owner of sheep must, , during the period between October ’ 1 in every year and the following _ April 30. dip, or cause to be '

dipped, all sheep which he owns ' and which have not been other- ; wise dipped during that period. Farmers must certify to this in their annual sheep return.” According to the Stock Act the term “dip” in relation to sheep affected with lice or ticks, means to plunge or immerse the sheep ir ar. effective lice-destroying preparation, or to spray sheep with . such a preparation by means of an effective pressure-spraying app--1 aratus, and “dipped” has a corresponding meaning. The preparation ' used must be one registered for * that purpose. t -M ■1..-Q ■ 1~.11
