Claim Radio Wares Open
Warfare on Crop Insects
By CLAUDE RAMSEY
La Feria, Tex. U.R Now they're starving Texas bugs to death
by short wave..
It's part of the new radionic warfare on insects.
The gentleman farmer of the future may sit in the parlor and
twist a few dials to kill every bad bug in his citrus grove two miles
awav.
And, with all that, the lady
bugs and other good little bugs
won't even be hurt.
The tale of the new field of in
ect control by radionics is told
by Sam Gerald in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley magazine, Border
Scope.
Experiments in insect control
by radionics have been conduct
ed by William J. Knuth and H.
V. Hughes of Grafe-Knuth Ra
dionics Co., Dallas, on Rio Farms,
Inc.
They've aimed their short
waves at cabbage worms, suck
flies, tomato fruit worms and the
grain weevil. They report "some
success" in corn fields with more
ears free of insects in the, con
trolled area than In the uncon
trolled sections.
One corn field being treated is
entirely free of corn ear worms,
one of the hazards of the val
ley's corn crop.
Work in Insect control by ra
dionics by the two men started
10 years ago and they report
"definite successful results"
against aphids, white pine beet
les, live oak caterpillars, white
flies and cotton bollworm.
Knuth and Hughes even have
checks from happy Texas farm
ers to prove, they de-insected
their cotton fields.
The only equipment needed is
a small radio-like machine, an
aerial photograph of the area
to be treated, electric current
and a "reagent," a substance that
Is a natural repellent to the
insect to be eliminated.
The rcpcllant and photograph
are placed in the machine and
radionics does the work, sending
its waves to the plant harbor
ing the insects.
By selecting proper "reagent"
the radionic fight is marie se
lective, not harming friendly in
sects, Border Scopb reports.
Plants in the path of the radi
onics actually thrive better than
others, according to Knuth and
Hughes.
The pest control is achieved
by the radionic introduction of
foreign vibrations into the plant
vhich disturb the Insect so much
that it starves to death.
In California, Knuth and
Hughes claim to have controlled
the spread of red rust in citrus
groves from a dilsance of 125
miles. Here in the Rio Grande
Valley they say the range is not
more than 25 miles but recom
mended the equipment be with
in two and a half miles of the
area to be treated.
At holiday times turkey may
mean a big meal, but in radio
slang it's a program that has
been a complete failure.
Jury Convicts
Man for Rape
Belvidere, 111., Dec. 8 W) A
jury convicted George irost, St,
Tuesday night of raping a 13-year-old
bobby soxer and recom
mended a five year prison term.
Frost, a laborer, was the first
of 10 men to be tried on morals
charges involving nine girls 13
to 15 years old. The charge was
statutory rape.
All ten are accused of plying
the girls with ice cream sodas
and then taking them into neigh
boring fields and haymows.
Frost was convicted on testi
mony by Clara Jane Grelee, a
slim brunette, who hesitating
ly told the jury she was intimate
with him in a field. Both had
climbed a fence around the field
she said.
Clara Jane and two other teen
agers told of a wild beer party
the night of October 8, when
the alleged intimacy occurred.
She said she and Barbara
Friebrantz, 15, had been em
ployed earlier that night as ba
by sitters. Afterward, she said,
they went to a confectionery,
met Frost and two other der
fendants, Fred Ashley, 18, and
Herbert Dyer, 18, and then went
to the party.
After the affair in the field,
she said, she got home about 6
a.m.

For Corn Yield
The committee in charge of
the Marion County Corn show
makes the following correction
According to a delayed report
received from Oregon State col
lege, Peter Bischoff, Route 6,
Salem, was winner of the Mar
ion county corn yield contest.
Mr. Bischoff had a yield of
96.5 bushels per acre, which ex
ceeds by a little over 10 bushels
that previously announced. He
is receiving the cash award to
which this entitles him.
