Show When I let myself go last month about the way Cutter K-R-S kayoes screw worms, I let myself in for a barrage of brickbats and bouquets. Brickbats about the product's unholy stink. Bouquets about the way it knocks screw worms into kingdom come. Sure, K-R-S stinks! It stinks... and sticks . . . and stains. It stinks on cattle, on horses, on automobile upholstery, up-holstery, on jeans. An ingredient in it corrodes the innards of any can we can find and it has another Ingredient that, under certain conditions, condi-tions, expands. Sometimes the cans give way all of a sudden and the stinking stuff squirts all over. Cans of K-R-S have let looso on drug-gists' drug-gists' shelves, in druggists' windows, in veterinarians' automobiles, and In ranchers' back pockets. And does it tink! And do they yelpll But nine times out often there's a P.S. on the ' letter: "Please send me more K-R-S." We have threatened to take the stuff off the market unless and until un-til we can get ingredients that will do the work and still not corrode or expand . . . and they yelp even louder. Ranchers say, "It's a stinker, but nothing else works quite like It docs." Druggists hate the stuff, but still carry it. One veterinarian Invented a can carrier under his car so that If the confounded con-founded thing gave loose, his wife would let him In that night, even If the car was banished until It lt lis skunky odor. Why don't we Improve it? Hells bells, we've been trying to. ..and we'll keep on working on it. But so far the boys in our research group agree with the ranchers that there isn't anything so good in the long run for combined ability to kill off all the screw worms and repel the flies, without harming the tissuo. So we'll keep on putting it out -but if you are crazy enough to want it, you'll have to store it and cany it at your own risk.
