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.

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. Sponsors contend that Chief Jo

sale of power to repay construc

the irrigation program.
THEY STRESSED the need for
additional agricultural acreage
not only in the fast-growing state
but for the rest of the United
States.
Other witnesses asserted that
residents of North Central Wash
ington felt .they are entitled to the
irrigation program as the only
benefit which they may receive
from the project.
Power from Chief Joseph is
scheduled to be channeled into
Western Washington and more
populated areas.
