. Cooperative economic insect report. Beneficial insects; Insect pests. - 1189 HOUSE FLY (Musca domestica) - OKLAHOMA causing some nuisance in homes. (Okla. - Populations down appreciably; still Coop. Sur.). STATUS OF THE SCREW-WORM (Cochliomyia hominivorax) IN THE SOUTHWEST During the period October 19-25, a total of 78,874,450 sterile flies was released over an area of 73,000 square miles in Texas, with 7,000 square miles covered in the average overwintering area of New Mexico. The additional 10,000 square miles in Texas is composed of areas west of regular pattern of fly release and is begin- ning of sterile fly barrier zone. Release rate has been adjusted to receive maximum benefits of the sterile flies, according to reports indicating screw-worm incidence in the various areas. In southern and eastern portions of the fly release zone, where it is indicated that fly populations are low, release rate has been reduced to 400 sterile flies per square mile. The northern portion of the fly release zone, where population appears to be heavy, will receive an average release of 1,000 sterile flies per square mile. In the added area of the barrier zone, some flies will be dropped at rate of 600 per square mile. The release area in New Mexico will also receive sterile flies at an average rate of 600 per square mile. A total of 2,886 screw-worm cases was reported during the period. No new counties were reported infested. (Anim. Dis. Erad. Div.)..
