Now, at last, you can treat screw-worm infected wounds
once and forget 'em! For Co-Ral, the revolutionary
livestock insecticide, kills screw-worms with just one
spray treatment. And what's more, that one spray
treatment protects the entire animal for up to 20 days
. . . until most wounds heal.
Co-Ral is the most effective and easy-to-use screwwm·m control ever developed for beef cattle, sheep,
hogs, goats and horses. And Co-Ral is a complete
livestock insecticide because it also controls cattle
grubs, horn flies, lice and ticks.
BEFORE TREATMENT: Screw-worm infestation is shown in
dehorning wound. (See e nlarged circle.) One spray treatment
of CO-RAL killed all screw-worms. Within 3 days discharge
had stopped, scab had begun to form.
So, this year reduce your handling and labor by controlling screw-worms with Co-Ral . . . the simple
spray-way to healthier animals, better weight gams
and more profit per head. Order Co-Ral today!
Available through dealers in agricultural chemicals
CHAEMAGRo
~r~-~~_~;,
l
AFTER TREATMENT: (Six weeks later). The single CO-RAL
treatment has not only killed all the screw-worms, but has
protected the wound from reinfestation and allowed it to heal
completely, as shown in this photo.

BRINGING TO MIND the Lincoln-Grant era, such facial adornment as those shown above are common these days in the
West Texas ranch town of Fort Stockton, on the eve of its
centennial celebration next week. It took Stockton citizen
Jesse Jones three months to cultivate the soup strainer, top
left. The chap next to him isn't Black Bart or one of the James
boys, just Gene Riggs, rancher and centennial booster. The next
beard, tangled and onery as some thorny West Texas range
shrubbery, belongs to J. C. Spence. To his right, behind that
luxuriant foliage is Stockton rancher B. L. Moody. Bottom left,
a trio of beards: E. F. Triplett, Stockton school secretary and
treasurer; Carson Kincaid, rancher, and Jones. Middle picture,
