Angeles, Is Announcement Emen gency Fields Established The coaHt airway from Seattle through Portland to Oakland-San Kruncisco and Loa Angeles Is light ed and ready for night flying. The luat beacon has been flashed on, all emergency fields are lighted ' and one of the longest and moat difficult jobs ever tackled by the airways branch of the government lias been completed. Up and down the coant over a distance of 1100 miles, giant bea cons nightly are throwing their beams upward for guidance of air travelers. Up and down the coast there is a chain of flashing lights at intervals of 10 miles or less the "lighthouses" of 'the airway. Notification that the route is ready for scheduled night flying has been given the postoffico de jitf rtmcnt by the airways branch. Interest Is centering on the ques tion of how soon planes will be using the lighted route on regular night schedules. - Officials of Pacific Air Trans port, holder of the government contract for carrying mall over the airway, have announced no date as -yet for beginning night flying. It has been Intimated, however, that this may be started before the year is out. 130 Beacons The last light on the long stretch was turned on recently at a point about two and a half miles from llalsey, Ore., at the summit of lJond's butte, according to a report from the office of R. It. Tinkham, district superintendent of light houses. At the same time it was' announced, that emergency field work was complete. Altogether, there are 130 bea cons on the airway, with a number of them placed less than 10 miles apart in the mountainous sections. The lights are so spaced that at no time is a pilot out of sight of one. At times, he may see six at one time. Original lighting work on the airway was begun in December, lim, with the installation of bea cons between San Francisco and l.os Angeles. From then on, the work progressed steadily with con struction on the Medford-Portland i'oetlun begun in October, 1929, and on the Portland-Seattle sec tion, in April, 1929, It ulso is planned to light the 1ah$ Ange!ca-San'--LDirgtr section- of the route but this has not been started. Pack Hoi'sos Vsctl Difficulties in improving the route nre related In reports reaching the aiiways office. Pack horses had to be used to carry material In cer tain places, winter weather intcr fercd, air inspectors In several in stances reported having been lost, ami on two occasions, working crews were fired on by deer hunt ers but without suffering casual ties. One authority expressed the opinion that the mountains be tween Kodding and Eugene were more difficult from an airway. de velopment standpoint than those , between .Salt Lake and Kan Fran cisco. Lights on the airway include largo revolving beacons, electric code beacons, route ben cons, illu minated wind cones and boundary and obstruction markers?1 Many Aids According to 1. A. LeHoy, assis tant airways engineer, there are 34 nir navigation aids on the Med-foid-!'ortland-Seattle stretch. In termediate fields in this 400-mlle Kcction are at (J rave creek, Cow creek, Myrtle creek, Yoncalla, Cot tage Grove, Brownsville, Kcap poose and Chehalis and airports used as auxiliary fields are at Aied f ord , O ra n ts Pass, Rose bu rg, Eu gene, Albany, Salem, Silverton, Portland, Kelso, Olympia, Tacoma and Seattle. Work of developing the Colum bia gorge nirwny with similar bea cons and fields as those on the coaMt route is going ahead rapidly between Portland and Pasco, It is reported. The Pasco-Spokane sec tion already has been completed. In addition to these aids, radio phone communication between the ground and planes in flight has become a reality on the coast and gorge airways, airways radio brood ranting wtn lions' have born estab lished at Portland, Med ford, Seat tle mtuI Pasco, and an Hii borate JT" v( NSS, IS 1500 Miles in one day to hold four tales and advertising meetings is the job cut out for these Gilmore Oi! Co. officials, flying from Los Angeles to Seattle in the airplane Gilmore Lion, piloted by Col. Roscoe Turner. They are Chet Crank, vice-president Botsford-Constant.no Co., and B. A, Rowell, manager of refined oil tales, Gilmore Oil Co. Modern business demands excessive speed. Trains and automobiles arc much too slow to cope with urgency of time. At least these arc logical observations one makes when it is known that two Gilmore Oil Company officials arc holding four sales and advertising meetings in one day in cities 1500 miles apart. After conducting a meeting in Los Angeles early in the morning, B. A. Rowell, manager of refined oil sales for the Gilmore Oil Company, and Chct Crank, vice-president Kotsford Constantine Company, advertising counsellors for the' company, hopped off for San Francisco in the com pany's record breaking airplane, pi loted by Col. Roscoe Turner, who re cently set a new transcontinental mark. Tlie men then hopped over the Siskiyou Mountains for a meeting in Portland and then on to Seattle for the final meeting. "We wanted to make a simultaneous unveiling of our new advertising and sales campaign to our entire Pacific Coast organization in- one day," says Rowell, "so wc concentrated our di vision staffs at the four focal points and arranged, a flying schedule to ac complish our objective. "I believe this is the first time that such a feat tad hcen attempted and discloses the high speed to which modern advertising and selling is geared." weather reporting system has been set up. AIT such' Improvements, It is de clared, are adding to tho safety and efficiency of operation over the airways, helping to make them comparable to any in the country- PAIN IN YOUR SHOULDER?

Fowler, county agent, that It is lmposlbli to take rare of them all. Damage by those worms !s gen - j eral all over thf county and mi- , less steps are taken at once, when the worms arc first seen, it is 1- : most impossible to tnvc a crop, as they are very greedy feeders. When they are present i alfalfa fields, as they are, and tho hay is cut, they promptly mve out in a body, outing every green thing thoy coma to. A Roml method of at least stop ping i hem is to plow a trench around any field or trnet that i.s to be protected. This trench should have a sleep side toward the tract. Pestholes nre then dui; 10 or 1 feet apart in the bottom of this ditch in which th"u worms will crawl. They can then bu destroyed. Army worms are very greedy f.n sweets and a poison bait composed -of tho following is very effective: Wheat bran 25 lbs. Suit 1 lb. White Arsenic or Paris Green 1 lb. (2 lb-s. of Arsenate of Lead may be substituted.) Molasses or Syrup 1 qt. Add enough water to mako a crumbly mass. This bait should be scattered In the trench after it in dry, on 'the side from which tho worms are coming. Another effective, 'bait la com posed of tho following: , Wheat llrau 10 lbs. Sodium fluoride t lb, Molesses 3 qLs, About 2 gallons of water. Spraying potatoes and other plants with arsenate of lead, 3 lbs. to tho JOfl gallons of water, will usually kill tho worms, but they eat so much before they are killed that they .will do a lot of, damage. As soon as tho worms are full grown they begin to go Into the cocoon stage and will disappear about as rapidly as they camo. This may happen this week, n many of them nre rinse to maturity now.
