Harvey SALEM, Oreg., March 25 (P It's almost Mormon cricket time again in central Oregon, but now the farmers are ready to fight them with something more than sea gulls and prayers. The farmers in Morrow. Gil liam and Sherman counties the worst cricket spot in this part of the country have formed a cric ket control association. Thev will spread poison bait, and will use airplanes to spread it if needed. Federal insect experts say that 700 square miles will be infested this year. A year ago, when the invasion was serious, 500 square miles were infested. The crickets are hatching now. Soon the adults, one to two inches long, will begin their march of a quarter of a mile a day, eating everything in their path. Robert W. Every, Oregon State College Extension authority on Insects and bugs, thinks the as sociation's idea will work. Baiting stopped the invasion last year, but it wasn't started early enough to prevent serious damage. Milk Spur Still Hazard Chemistry has found a wav to make cows give more mlik. "But It might ruin the cow. It is a drug called protomone. About 15 grams of it can be given to Bossy each day in her regular diet. It makes the average cow give 15 to 30 per cent more milk, and some cows give as much as 72 per cent more. But it doesn't even work on some cows. The drug works like a thyroid gland hormone, its effect being to speed up th cows machinery. II. P. Ewalt, OSC extension dairyman, warns against wide spread use of it because a cow might lose a lot of weight and literally burn herself out. A lot more has to be discovered about the new drug. Cattle Give New Worry The migration of drought stricken cattle from California to Oregon has given OSC ex tension livestock men some more diseases to worry about. They also fear Ana Plasmosis, a blood disease spread by ticks; Anthrax, and Red Water. They already had warned about Bang's and hoof and mouth dis eases. Foxes Now Costly Pet Clackamas county farmers want some hound dogs imported into their population. The foxes are killing pheasants, turkeys, chick ens, lambs and other small live stock . County agent John Inskeep, Oregon City, says a long time ago a few foxes were brought in for the amusement of the hunt ers who ride horses and yell "tal- AMERICAN BARBARA JO WALKKR Ol1 MEMPHIS Miss America 1941 Miss America Paieant Scholarship hnttnilalion is cO'Sfionsored hy the manufacturers of Laundcrall.

He thinks all of the pre sent fox population can trace its ancestry to those foxes. New Bean On Market A new lima bean bush variety, called Fordhook 242, is on the market. R. Ralph Clark, OSC ex tension horticulturist, says it yields well, tastes good grows well, and besides, the seeds look pretty. Used Auto Price Hike Still Distant DETROIT, March 25 If you want a little more for your used car you'll have to wait an other six weeks. If you want top price for your used "car you prob ably will get it about June 15. Whatever else may be said about the used car market it is not falling apart. It had a tough winter but prices are mov ing upward, especially for Chev rolets, Fords and Ply mouths. Late models of these makes still arc bringing more than list prices in many instances. All indications are the early summer weeks will bring a heavy demand for used cars. The pre sent rate of new car production although rapidly nearing pre-war levels, will not fill the coming summer demand. That means the used car lots will get a lot of business. Especially between June 1 and the end of July. In these two months the factor ies may turn out 700,000 passen ger cars; but barring an unex pected cut in buving power, 5,000, 000 persons will be seeking auto mobiles. Most of them will want cars in June, July and August. For the most part they'll have to get them from the used car lots.
