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.

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.
