And you won't have to. drag out your fishing tackle to do it either. This household pest, extension entomologists tell us, begins to work up a bigger appetite just as soon as furnaces are fired to pro vide constant even heat during fall and winter months. Winter heated homes also provide most favorable conditions for silverfish reproduction. With the advent of furnaces intOMnany farm homes, Silverfish have also increased in rural areas. "Silverfish and their close kin the fire brats, are pretty well dis tributed throughout the state. Since they come out only at night to eat, many householders may not know they are boarding a col ony, or even what they look like. Pest likes Warmth These' pests are slender, silver gray, wingless, scale-covered, and fire brats, although about the same size and general appearance, are mottled gray in color and are more apt to be found in very warm places. They move very quickly for cover when exposed. Crevices in the old-fashioned bake ovens used to be infested with them and gave rise to the name fire brat Chimneys of fireplaces also provide conditions to their liking. Kitchens, pantries, base ments, attics, and all other parts of a house may be infested by both. These pests feed upon the siz ing in paper, bookbindings, wall paper, and starchy insulation. In addition they eat holes to some extent in thin fabrics, particularly those made of rayon, cotton and linen. Starched clothing and lace curtains may be ruined by silver fish as they extract the starch from them. Experiments indicate that they also prefer vegetable ioods having a nigh starch or su gar content and are very fond of moist wheat flour. DDT Used Silverfish may. be active the year round, but feeding increases wnen rooms are warm, even tern perature. First step in controlling silver fish and fire brats, is locating fa vored spots where the pests seek protection during the daytime. Fruit jars and other containers in the furnace rooms are popular mcung ptaces. When hiding place are found. cent kerosene-DDT spray. Re member though, that the DDT-oil spray should not be used where is likely to be a fire hazard. New Berry Reported By Corvallis Growers Nurserymen and berry growers in and around Corvallis plan to of fer the market a tempting new berry within the next few years. The new fruit is a truly black blackberry, the result of a cross between the black loganberry and the youngberry. It is a little small er than the youngberry, does not taper to a point, but is full size for the full length, and is jet black when ripe. It was developed at the state college and is known as selection No. 609, not yet having been nam ed. The college men expect it to be a highly successful commercial product for shipment to eastern states. At Corvallis this, berry has yielded four and a half to five tons per acre without irrigation.
