Register-Guard, Eugene. Ore. Poge 32 Wed., May 21, 1952 Codling Moths Infesting Trees Spray Advice Given Farmers Codling moths have emerged and started laying eggs, the County Extension uffice was ad' Vised this week by Dr. B. G, Thompson, entomologist at Ore gon State College. This means that apple and pear growers in the Willamette Valley should apply the first cover spray as soon as possible during this week, O. S. Fletcher, county agent advised. THE RECOMMENDED sprays are lead arsenate, 3 pounds to 100 gallons of water, or two pounds of 50 per cent wettable DDT to 100 gallons of water. II spider mites are a problem, add DN 1H, Vz to pound, or one pound of 25 per cent parathion wettable powder, or one pound EPN-300 to 100 gallons of the spray mix' tiire. Thompson reported that pear psylla is also present in the Wil lamette Valley and advised pear growers to be on the looKout lor this pest. It may be controlled by applications of parathion or EPN 300 at the rates given above at the time of the first cover spray. THOMPSON WARNED that parathion and EPN-300 are highly toxic to man and other warm blooded animals. Growers must handle these insectricides with the utmost caution, he said, and follow all directions on the man facturers' labels. " Thoroughness of application is essential in codling moth control, Thompson warned. The foliage, as well as the entire surface of each fruit, should be covered with the spray solution. Special care should be taken in spraying the upper portion of the tree since a high percentage of the eggs are laid in the upper third of the tree. Woman Sues Dance School PORTLAND U.R Mrs. Er'ma E. Commons, Albany, Ore., filed suit in circuit court here Monday asking $10,000 punitive damages from the Arthur Murray School of Dancing and its Portland operators. Mrs. Commons charged in her complaint that the firm repre sented falsely it could improve her personality and better her ability to obtain a position, as well as teach her to dance. She said the dance school in duced her to pay $628 last No vember and to sign an agreement to pay an additional $600 for a course in dancing. She asked that the $628 be re turned to her, the agreement to pay $600 be declared invalid and that she be awarded $10,000 as punitive damages. PT A Mothers Ask Stoppage Of Knife Sales Action to prohibit sale of "switch-blade" knives to children was urged Monday night at a meeting of the Elmira Parent Teachers Club. ' After hearing one mother tell of her 11-year-old boy coming home with a spring-action knife- its blade three inches in length the club decided to send letters to proper authorities asking a ban on the lethal weapons. Mn. H. D. Lewis, Rt. 1, Veneta, opened discussion of the problem and explained that apparently her on had acquired a push-button pocket knife from another boy. She urged that somehow mer chants be prevented from selling knives of this kind to youngsters. A check Tuesday with District Attorney C. E. Luckey indicated switch-blades are not illegal in Oregon and apparently can be sold to persons of any age. If the blades measure more than 3 inches, Luckey said, they cannot be parried as concealed weapons. However, Oregon does have a law preventing the sale of fire arms or blasting powder to young sters under 14 years of age. House Rejects Benefit Boost WASHINGTON VP) Legisla tion to boost social security bene fits at a cost of 300 million dol lars a year was rejected by the House this week. The vote was 149 for the mea sure and 140 against it. However, the bill was brought up under a parliamentary situation which barred amendments and required a two-thirds majority for passage. tl is still possible for the House to consider the bill under differ' ant procedure. Rep. Doughton (D-NC), the sponsor, would have to get a olearance from the rules commit tee which would open the way for amendments and passage by a straight majority. Administration leaders, how ever, were divided on the chance for such a move. New Red B-12Here Dramatic Double-Strenoth Formula With 10 JVflco nrams of Vitamin B-12 Here!

Power Revenues Wanted for Basin WASHINGTON (IP) Paci fic Northwest reclamation enthu siasts renewed their drive this week for congressional permission to use power revenues from. Chief Joseph Dam to help finance Co lumbia Basin reclamation. They asked a House Interior subcommittee to approve a bill by Rep. Horan (R-Wash) to in clude reclamation as one of the purposes of the big Columbia river project. Similar hearings on an identi cal bill by Sen. Magnuson CD- Wash) wore held 10 days ago be fore the Senate committee. SPONSORS HOPED by testify ing before both groups to clear the way for passage of the bill prior to the summer adjournment. The bill would authorize no ap propriation nor expenditure. It would merely authorize the Rec lamation Bureau to go ahead with surveys to determine the feas ibility of irrigating some 60,000 acres of adjacent basin land. SPECIFIC PROJECTS still would require the approval of Congress before work could pro ceed.
