New Insecticide
Proven In Tests
Over Five Years
Why is lindane in headlines In
garden magazines these days? Is
it another bug-killer destined for
a brief flurry of success and then
oblivion after a few years? What
makes home gardeners and horti
cultural editors coast to coast so
excited about its discovery?
While it is true that other in
secticides have been introduced
with great fanfare during the
Iiost-war era, lindane has quietly
icon tested in farms across the
nation since 1945. Thousands of
tons of the lindane have been
used successfully by farmers in
controlling a wide range ol pests.
Now On Market
Now, during tho spring season
of 1050, it is hitting the market
for the first time and is available
to backyard gardeners. While no
miracles are claimed for lindane,
its backers quietly and confident
ly point to the fact that lindane
is the fir.st insecticide which has
the advantage of killing insects
three ways by contact, by stom
ach poisoning, and by vapor ac
tion. The fact that it leaves a
residue which still continues to
efficiently kill bugs four to 12
days later after the original ap
plication is one of the reasons
for its quick and sensational ac
ceptance by home gardeners of
America.
Another "first" for lindane is
the fact that it makes available
to home gardeners a fairly simple
way of getting rid of soil pests.
It can be dusted on tho ground
around voiinc vegetable plants
or flowers with equal ease ana
will destroy wiroworms and
many common types of soil pests.
Mulii-Purpoie Duii
A 1950 multi-purpose dust con
taining lindane is responsible for
killing effectively these 20 ma
jor garden problems: aphis,
thrips, leafrollers, caterpillars,
flea beetles, white flies, cucum
ber beetles, Icafminers, army-
worms, sod webworms in lawns,
ants, mole crickets, chinch bugs,
cutworms, wireworms, white
grubs, fuller rose beetle' larvae,
house flics, and mosquitoes.
Home gardeners may rightful
ly ask whether such a multi
purpose dust or spray is danger
ous to use. The answer is that
any spray or dust package con
taining lindane does not bare
tho familiar skull and crossbonrs
on the labels which the law al
ways Insists on printing whore-
ever there is danger of immediate
poisoning. It has been generally

Directors of Medford school
district No. 49, In a brief meet
ing last night, approved construc
tion ot a steel lenee Between Lin
coln school and adjacent private
proporty and agreed to spend S50

school buildings.
In a meeting that lasted less
than an hour, the board also ac
cepted the resignation of six
teachers that were first submit
ted at the last meeting.
Superintendent E. H. Hedrick
told ihe board that a property
owner next to Lincoln scnool

Fresh Vegetables To
Be Delivered Daily
Harvey G. Brown, Ashland, to
day announced the establishment
of a daily delivery service of
fresh packaged vegetables to
grocery stores in Talent, Phoenix
and Medford. Supplier will be
Mayfield's gardens, In Ashland.
The "Red-E-Serve" products
arc all attractively packaged in
cellophane - type wrappings.
Brown said, and arc guaranteed
fresh. They include all fresh
vegetables in season, and pack
aged salads. Most quality stores
in Medford will use his service,
Brown said. He has a franchise
with Mayficld for the area he
serves.
stated by various entomologists
that lindane is as safe to use as
the widely known pyrethrum
and rotenone products. There is
practically no danger to young
sters or pets when these prod
ucts have been used, and that is
one more reason why lindane
has caught on with such sudden
popularity.
Killing Action Wide
Lindane is available under
trade names in several garden
sprays and dusts, usually in com
bination with several other tried
and true tested insect and fungus
killing ingredients which even
widen the scope of killing action
of common pests and diseases.
Compared to DDT, the insect
icide which received such a
world-wide buildup during World
War II, lindane has a greater
range of kill and is safer to use.
Winter Damage
had us
under
It was bad enough to have the roof
leak, but it had to pick a spot over
our bedroom. Before Marge and I
realized it, the plaster on the ceiling
was ruined some of the wallpaper,
too, of course. The repairman who
came to make the estimate put us
next to a Home Improvement Loan
through our bank. Sure enough, the
First National Bank showed us how
we could have repairs made when
they arc needed and pay for 'cm out
of future paychecks. A good way to
keep a bad situation from getting
worse and certainly a great worry
oflour shoulders!
