AP Science Editor
Schnectady, W. V. ' After
spending years learning what
colors of light will 'attract bugs
into death traps, scientists have
begun to meet success.
The idea is to find the best
light for human out-of-doors
comfort at night. Lawrence C.
Porter of the General Electric
company at Cleveland and the
Ohio agricultural experiment
station have made a report.
They say they don't know all
the answers, but that red at
tracts fewer Insects than any
other color. But because red is
not altogether aafisfactory to
live under, or to use for porch
game of cards, yellow light ten
tatively la selected as the most
satisfactory.
A flame-colored lamp la very
satisfactory, so far as bugs are
concerned, when some fair
seeing is also wanted.
What the scientists now wish
to find out is whether there is
a difference between Insect
preferences for colors. They
point out that gnats are more
troublesome than June bugs,
since the gnats bite.
Aside from the color differ
ences, the most effective way to
reduce the number of Insects is
to lower the wattage of the
light. There Is no such thing as
a lamp that does not attract
insects.

For several years twine au
thorities advised farmers they
could get more for their hogs by
selling at lighter weights more
meat and less low-priced lard.
The result has been a marked
trend toward lean-streamlined
porker.
But since the government pro
mised to keep the price of hogs
up to at least S9 a hundred
pounds (Chicago basis), farmers
have found it profitable the
time being to feed their hogs
to heavier weights.
One of the reasons heavy hogs
have topped the market in re
cent weeks has been that lard
prices went up about two cents
pound after announcement
of the government support of
prices.
The only way additional pork
can be produced between now
and next fall la to put weight
on hogs now on feed. Govern
ment purchase of the heavy
cuts has insured profits for the
farmer who feeds more corn to
his hogs.

depth from 500 to about 8,400
