Garden Editor, The Statesman Fall web worms are making their, appearance in increasing numbers on a variety of trees and shrubs in the Willamette valley, according to reports being receiv ed from outdoor folk. Not only are these destructive pests showing up on lawn trees and shrubs, as well as fruit trees, but on trees along the roadsides as welL Walnut trees in some areas are particularly ? badly effected, and some gardeners report that their fuschias arid other garden plants "are showing some signs of web Worm work, too. The fall web worms which at tack fhrubs and trees usually build their; nets at the ftip, of branches. Frequently these inests are rather large. On some jof the smaller shrubs, like the cQtoneaster, a dif ferent type of webworm attacks, spinning a web over the bush without seemingly any center nest. On fuschias and other plants of that type there seems to be but one worm which spins its own 'we b at the tip of the branch, destroying the flower buds. Two effective Jspray materials are available to control the web worm, and seem equally effective on nay variety of'the worm. DDT, used) at the rate of one pound of 50 per cent wettable to 50 gal lons of water, or Jead arsenate at IVi pounds to 50 gallons of water will f give . good i control where quantity is desired. For home gardeners, reconunen datiops are -for Vi level table spoonful of the 50 per cent powder to a gallon of water. IX wettable DDT is not available, good results can be obtained! by using two tablespoons of 5 per cent DDT so lution, used for fly control, to one quart of hot water, in which 114 tablespoons of soap flakes or pow der have been added. Do not P- ply while the water is hot. . A 10 per cent DDT dust is also effective. ? s Lead arsenate,! four to I five rounded teaspoonsfuls to a gallon of water, also give good control in the home garden. If only an occasional nest Is found, it may be pruned off a tree and burned. j The idea is, horticulturists tell us, to get the web worm destroyed while it is still tied up on a shrub or tree. Once' after it leaves the nest, it goes out to produce more of its kind. This Jype of pest is very , destructive and every meas ure to control it should be used, specialists are warping. f Injured Youth j 'Fairly Good' One of four Satem vmtha in jured in an auto accident near Quinaby Thursday night remains in aaiem General hospital In "fair ly good" condition, it was report ed Saturday night. The hospitalized boy Is Darrel Foster Valentine, 15, of 4920 Bail ey rd. One of his companions re leased from the hdxnital RnhirHnv was Claude W. Goldsby, 16, of 2215 Investigators Meet to Devise : Ways to Cut Bad Check Losses l Checks, as a way of doing business are here to stay, and some 75 members of the Northwest Check Investigators association met Satur day at the Senator hotel to discuss ways to cut down the annual bad check losses running Into $750,000,000. - ' ' T Attending the quarterly meet were ponce officials, businessmen, hotel men, chamber of commerce representatives and bankers from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon tana and Britiih Columbia. "Unless some kind of central clearing bouse, dispensing Infor mation statewide, to every law en forcement agency, is organized, bad check artists will continue to gyp businessmen out of millions of dol lars," said Capt William Browne, head of the Portland police, detec tive bureau. , But members agreed that solu tion of the problem hinges greatly on cooperation between banks and police departments. c ; Roy D. Zimmerman, vice presi dent of the Peoples National bank of Seattle, said that banks are the first to learn of bad checks. He proposed that law enforcement agencies be put on banks circulars reporting counterfeit and forged checks.' - Oregon's state police were laud-, ed by Capt, Browne and others, I for the efficient forged check de partment which has done a great deal to help local agencies In com bating the wave of forged checks. Salem Police Detective Wayne D. Parker, however, said that even more cooperation between local po lice departments was needed. His point was emphasized in connec tion with the arrest Friday night of Jack J. Keller on charges of obtaining money under false pre mises. Police at the meeting, he said, were not aware that the man was in the Salem area. - , The problems of hotel operators, one of the biggest sufferers from bad check artists, was pointed out by Ray W. Clark, manager of one of Seattle's largest hotels who said that 80 per cent of his business is by check. Clark has made a hobby of gathering information on check forgers and ways to curb the prob lem. , ..; The meeting ended Saturday night with a banquet and an in formal speech by Circuit Judge Rex KimmelL discussing the courts approach to the check violators. Prison Strike Halts Supply Of 'Fair Bugs' Few additional lapels will sport "fair bugs" until the- prisoner strike at the penitentiary ends, Salem Chamber of Commerce of ficials said Saturday. Already, "however, about 8,000 of the bright fishing flies and cards have been sold in Salem or sent over the- state and nation to promote the annual Oregon state fair. Several prisoners at the peni tentiary have been making the fair bugs during recent weeks, but have quit work along with others at the institution since Tuesday. Some 700 bugs were sold Friday and Saturday by Camp Fire Girls. Illness Claims Mrs. Allen ' A former Salem resident, Mrs. Jackie 'Allen, 32, died recently in Seattle after an illness of i five years. She had been paralyzed in a Seattle automobile accident in 1946. : She is survived by two brothers in Salem, Howard Smith, recent ly returned from service in Korea, and Richard Smith.
