PAGE FOUR ENVOY, LECTURER Friend of Syd Brown Family Now Lecturing at Army Posts on World Affairs. A visitor in Medford the last two days has been the Honor able Hush G. Grant, American diplomat and civilian lecturer tor the army orientation course. During his stay here he has been residing at Hotel Medford and yesterday enjoyed a motor trip to Crater Lake with local friends, Mrs. W. J. Noland of GeBauer Apartments and Mrs. Syd Brown of S04 South Holly street. Grant snatched a few days re laxation between his appoint ments as lecturer at various army posts under the direction of the U. S. war department to visit here. He is enroute south after lecturing in Portland and left early this morning for .Cali fornia. Friend of Browns Grant is an old friend of the Brown family, having known Sheriff Syd Brown's mother in Alabama when he was private secretary to Senator Black, be fore he was elevated to the dip lomatic field. Grant's recent years have been filled with a wealth of dramatic experiences, he having acted as minister to Albania, 1933-40 and to Thailand, 1940 41. He remained at his post in Albania during the Italian occu pation of that country, finally liquidated American interests and closed the American lega tion after the war broke out in Europe. He made a close study of the whole Far Eastern situation and aid that similar tactics as em ployed In Europe can be seen in the Nipponese attack in the Pa cific. Enroute to his post in Thailand Grant visited Hawaii. Japan, Hong Kong, Shanghai, the Philippines, Singapore, Ma laya and has talked with Presi dent Quezon of the Philippine commonwealth; General Doug las MacArthur and other names of note in present news dis patches. He pointed out the necessity ef winning the war and then talking about "post-war recon struction." He said recently, while in Portland, that "we have the potentialities and we will win In the end, but w must ex pect a long and hard conflict." OFFICIAL U. S.

The state department of voca tional education is again cooper ating with the Medford School district and Fruit Growers league of Jackson county In sponsoring a pear packing school for people of southern Oregon, league officials an nounced today. This will be the third year the packing school has operated. According to a survey made by Walter Morse of the state de partment of vocational educa tion, students finishing the course are able to increase their earning power materially. This is especially true considering the number of training hours Dut in by the student. The course this year will last from 10 to 14 days with one session being held from 9 to 12 and the second from 1 to 4. A student may reg ister for either the morning or afternoon session.

The hoppers can do a great deal of injury in a very short time unless means are taken to combat them. Young grasshoppers eat poi soned bait much more readily than do the adults, and only a very small amount Is required to kill one. Young grasshoppers usually stay in or around their hatching ground for about two weeks and then move into crops in search of food. If they can be poisoned before this movement begins, less bait would be re quired and damage would be largely prevented. When grasshoppers migrate into a field of growing crops, only prompt use of bait can be expected to save the crop. Weather conditions and the time of dny the bait is spread are largely responsible for good re sults. The hoppers feed very lit tle during cool or cloudy weath er, feeding, occurs on bright, warm days and is very light during temperatures below 70. Bait should be spread thinly and thoroughly, as such spread ing gives the largest kill and also eliminates poisoning of livestock, poultry and birds. Ap proximately 20 pounds of wet weight por acre gives excellent results. Do not look for results the first day after poisoning. The arsenicals used are rather slow acting and require four or five days to kill, althoush the hop pers become sick shortly after eating the bait. They are usual ly hard to find, as they crawl under the plants, weeds and debris. Kxperlments show that there is very little danKcr to livestock poultry, etc., if the bait is pro perly spread. Caution should be used In handling the bait. The hands should be protected with vaseline or grease and immedi' ately after spreading the hands should be thoroughly washed WANTED Oreen chain pullers, dry chain pullers, endllft and carrier driver, lumber handlers .tellers, buckers and railroad con staetion men. Top wages; steady work. APPLY MEDFORD CORPORATION with soap and water. Following is the formula for the mixture of poisoned-bran bait most commonly used: Coarse bran, 100 pounds; saw dust, equal In bulk to 33 pounds bran; sodium arsenite (4 lb. ma terial), 2 gallons; water, 10 to 40 gallons. Note: Only enough water is added to moisten the bait without causing it to be come sloppy or even wet enough for the flakes to stick together. If the sawdust is wet, reduce the water proportionately. It would be best to make a trial batch in order to determine the exact quantity of water needed. The water should always be measur ed lor a large batch, as guessing frequently results in too dry or too sloppy bait. DON'T FORGET THAT THIS IS POISON. By R. G. FOWLER, County Agent. Oil Proves Effective Cora Ear Worm Control Early planted corn is now starting to silk which means that worms will soon be attack ing the ears. There are two con trol measures for this pest. The old standard remedy was to dust the silks with calcium arsenate. Recently it has been found that mineral oil is quite effective in killing the worms. If calcium arsenate is to be used, it should be dusted onto the tips of the ears within three days of the time that the silks appear. It will be necessary to repeat this twice at three day intervals. It is not necessary to apply the dust to the leaves as : the eggs are laid on the silks and when they hatch they im mediately start into the end of the ear, eating the silks as they go. If the silks are covered with the poison the worm will be killed. Occasionally eggs are laid on the tassels so if worms are observed feeding there, they should also be dusted. The oil treatment is -ery ef fective, but it must be used with a great deal of care. One-fourth teaspoon of 120-130 viscosity mineral oil is squirted Into each ear with a force oiler. Any force oiler is suitable if it is adjusted to squirt one-fourth teaspoon with each pull of the trigger. The feed stores and oil compan ies carry the mineral oil in stock. If it contains a small amount of yprethrum, its effec tiveness is increased. The oil should be applied three days after the silks appear. At this time they will be wilting and starting to turn brown. If applied before this time, pollin ation will be retarded and the ear will not fill properly. If applied much later, control will be poor. Properly applied, this treatment will give about ninety per cent control of the worms. The cost will be about two cents per dozen. By C. B. CORDY. Assistant County Agent.
