Pesky Mosquitoes Found Key To Important Farm Research The pesky mosquito is the key to a project designed to protect people. Oregon State College scientists say they play an important role in detecting the amount of toxicity transferred from chemieally-treal-ed soil to vegetables or fruit grown in it. The project, supported the past three years by Shell Chemical Co., is a testing program of various in secticides used to kill insects in the soil. Program objectives are to determine how much toxic, or poi sonous residue, is still in the soil after the chemicals have done their work, and whether this will result in harmful effects or unde sirable taste of crops planted in that soil. Such testing programs Survey Indicates 'Milk Is Milk' Regardless Of Feed "Underprivileged" dairy cows have proven themselves to be the equal of their "socialite" sister cows when it comes to converting plant matter and water into rich, nourishing milk. The dairy cows subsisting "on greener pastures" will need less land for their feed supply. How ever, pail for pail, the bovine gal from the wrong side of he tracks who grazes on badly depleted farm land will still give milk just as nutritious as that "well kept woman" across the way. These facts stem from the an nouncement of results of a 10-year soil fertility study conducted at Michigan State College, .sponsored in part by the National Dairy Council with dairy farmer funds allocated by the American' Dairy Assn. Conclusions of the study were released today as an opening feature of this year's celebration of the Centennial of Michigan State College, the nation's oldest land grant college. Two herds of dm cows, run ning through four generations of each, were involved in the study. The herds were maintained on a 210-acre farm with badly deplet ed soil. One herd was fed from an area the soil of which was treated with nitrogen only; the other from an area in which the soil received generous amounts of mineral as well as nitrogen fertilization. Very little difference could be determined in the nutritive value of the crops raised to feed the sep arate herds, though the enriched soil yielded more feed per acre. Regular chemical analyses of the crops, as they were fed, mid of the milk and blood of the cattle were made. Samples of the milk were taken regularly to determine the actual feeding value of the milk. Here arc some of the conlusions about milk: . ,i 1. The consuming public need not be concerned about the quality of milk produced by cows tnat sub sist on feed produced on poor land. 2. The milk produced by both herds contained as much or more protein, fat and mineral constitu ents as are commonly found in the milk you buy. 3. The amount and kind of. am ino acids in the milk proteins were similar in the milk supply from both herds; though one herd's feed came from fertilized soil, the oth er herd's feed from unfertilized. 4. The vitamin content of t h e milk from the two herds, showed no difference attributable to t h e feeds. Water Heater Look at the Features! Comvlttclr automat ic. Clean, imokelu. faoitlnr .

New Ownen: JACK and THELMA BEAVERS have been necessary for some 30 years unaer tne federal food and drug act. Mosquitoes are easily killed by modern insecticides. The technique is this: Ten five day-old mosquito larvae are put in a vial, two-inches tall and about the size of a half-dollar, along with a portion of the vegetable or fruit being analyzed for toxicity. The laTvae are fed on this for 24 hours., The number dead are then count ed and compared with a standard the amount of DDT necessary to kill the Insect. The same proc ess is repeated with -increasing amounts of the material being test ed. Dr L. C. f erriere, OSC agri cultural chemist, Is heading up this phase of the testing program. Food technology department hand les the taste testing. Dr. Terriere says the information obtained can be interpreted to determine how much and what kinds of insecti cides can be used to treat the soil without resulting in harmful ef fects or undesirable taste .if crops. Although there always seem to be too many mosquitoes around during the summer and fall, the scientists found that to be certain of a supply year round thev had to grow their own. Some 10,000 are used eacn week. 30 Liberty Ships May Be Used For Storage Of Grain WASHINGTON Ufl Rep. Pelly in-wasn; predicted last week a "minimum" of 30 prain-laden llh. erty ships will be added shortly to the storage fleet at Budd Inlet near Olympia, Wash. The vessels would come from the Maritime Administration's laid up tieet at Astoria, Ore., on the Columbia River. Pelly said he based his predic tion on assurances received from Alvah F. Troyer, deputy director oi tne commoaity stabilization service's grain division. The agency previously had pro- pusea to ioaa ine vessels at port land with surplus grain and moor them at the nearby Cathlamet Basin. After conferring with Troyer, however, Pelly said he had been "assured that cost figures which I gave him for towing empty ves sels to Puget Sound had changed the picture. Next week I expect an announcement that Budd Inlet will be used." The congressman said use of the Budd Inlet moorage would mean "considerable in wages to person nel of, our maritime unions and likewise the moving jf grain tnrougn f uget Sound port facilities as against those of the Columbia River." Pelly has opposed use of the Cathlamet Basin on grounds it would require additional dreding to accommodate tne grain ships. This dredging and its -nainten. ance, he contends, would be more costly than tow charges to Budd Inlet.
