The list according to the Air Transport Association of America, includes: Flying ambulances and funeral planes. Armored airships for safe dis patch of currency and valu- abW. Big tank planes for shipment of gasoline and oil. Bus and taxi service, using both helicopters and conven tional models. Deliveries of medicine, of food, and of department store merchandise. Sightseeing specialists. Fly-yocrself systems. Delivery of now or “used* air planes to buyers or dealers. Many war veterans who have gained invaluable experience flying . in the war are in the forefront of these projects.

Unique Air Service Grangers Grow Social Crops Have you too been puzzled over which of the «cores and scores of DDT concoction* now on the mar ket to buy for garden, household I or livestock use 7 Then two experiment station circulars of Information just is- ' sued at Oregon State college will help straighten out th«- matter. One is "DDT Product* and Pre- cautions in Their Uw." by R H Robinaon, agricultural chemist, while thi other io 'Suggcxlkin« on th«- Ui«e of Dirr for Vegetable Garden Pest Control Roth are iwiilable free from county exten sion offices. The first of these, after stating that there ar«- now more than 150 different brands of DDT pnxiuetv on the Oregon market, explains I the different forms and their best uses. DDT products arc now sold as wettable powder* for sprays, dusts, DDT-in-oil products, and DDT aerosol bombs. AU of these have their special uses and some may be used more or less inter changeably while others cannot. . The circular also stresses the fact jjiat DDT is not in the cate gory of deadly poisons such as must lx- labeled with skull and crossbones, but that simple pre cautions are necessary. The other circular lists all the common garden vegetables with their principal petts and tells whether DDT, will control them or not. Dusting powder of 3 per cent strength is the most useful In the garden, states the author. Dr. Don C. .Mote, head of the entomology departments. Five per cent strength is used for squash bugs and similar plant hup DDT is particularly effective with the 11 spotted cucumber beetles, th«* clrcularjrtwws. a pest heretofore r<*sistant to nearly all insecticides. Il is also ,good for most species of thrifts, flea beetles, cabbage worms, squ^vh bugs, car rot rust fly, pea weevil and some others. On many other pests ex perimental evidence is still lacking or inconclusive. Gardeners are cau tioned not to use it on edible parts of vegetables. that benefit all Oregonians day morning. Rollie«!
