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."

1942. Total War Bond quota for the state Is
8,865,000. With the National quota total placed
at a billion dollars, the nation goes Into high gear
In Its support of the War financing and to give our
fighting forces adequate Implements of war which
will bring ultimate Victory. American Soldiers,
Sailors, Marines and Airmen are on every front.
They are giving 100 percent for their country.
What are we doing here on the borne front? Are
we lending at least ten percent of Income to help
them? It's very little. But to fight this war suc
cessfully our country needs a billion dollars in
War Bonds every month from us the People.

AGAIN THIS YEAR
Vocational Education and
Fruit Growers League Co
operatingShort Course.
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.
Before Season Opeaa
Present plans call for the
school to be given lust before
picking and packing of pears be
gins.
Any resident of southern Ore
gon past 18 years of age may
enroll. There will be a small
fee charged each student
Students will be placed under
qualified instructors. Students
may progress as rapidly as they
show ability.
There will be no commercial
pack made at the school this
year. Instead, students will be
sent directly to the packing
houses upon completion of the
course.
Anyone interested in enrolling
Is requested to get in touch with
the employment offices of any
local packing house or with L.
B. Mayfield, senior high school,
phone 4970.

Grasshoppers Rampant
la Jackson County
Grasshoppers have been show
ing up in various sections of the
county for the past two weeks
and they are much more preva
lent than any previous season of
late years. 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

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.

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.
