Newspaper Page Texti EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. July 20, 1952 Last Codling Moth Spray Advised The last cover spray for cod ling moth control on pears should be completed three weeks before the fruit is picked, accord ing to L. G. Gentner, experiment station entomologist, and C. B. Cordy, county agent in horticul ture. This will place bartlett spray ing completion on July 21 for blocks to be picked early, but can be delayed until August 1 where picking is late, they point ed out. Winter pears can be sprayed with the bartletts or fol lowing them with the applica tion consisting of V2 pounds of 50 per cent DDT per 100 gallons, or seven pounds an acre in speed sprayers, with one-quarter pint spreader depositor added for each 100 gallons. Pear psylla, which is now present in small numbers in most orchards, will "increase rapidly," Cordy and Gentner pointed out, with control for psylla and mites being one pint of 20 per cent or one-half pint of 40 per cent TEPP and three pounds of EPN, or four pounds of Parathion per acre. Recommended dosage for ap ples is two pounds of DDT for each 100 gallons, or 10 pounds an acre with completion by August 5. For home orchard sprayers, use one-half pound in five gallons for each mature tree.

New York corres pondent for The Dagens Ny heter of Stockholm, was re turning to Sweden aboard the liner Gripsholm when the .ship turned to rescue surviv ors of the burning freighter Black Gull. The following is her eyewiteness account of the rescue radio-telegraphed to her husband. By MAY FORSBERG Written for The United Press Aboard the Gripsholm CU.R) Most of the Gripsholm's pass engers had gone to bed when the SOS was received from the Norwegian freighter Black Gull. Even when we reached the scene of the tragedy two hours later, many slept on. They missed one of the most dramatic sights I have ever seen the blazing ship, the Grips holm's motor launches setting out for the search, the flares from the United States Coast Guard planes. If it hadn't been for those flares, a great many of the survivors' might never have been rescued from the dark waters. Rescused "Sorry Sights"' The 45 rescued passengers and crew members were sorry sights when they were brought back to the Gripsholm. Some were smoke blackened and burned, others were soaked from long hours in the water. Workers had food and plenty of hot coffee ready for them in no time, and warm, dry clothes were distributed to tfcem from the' ships stores. Dr. O. Witland- er treated the 10 burned men. j Nils Varem, the .Black Gull's third officer, was the most ser-1 iously burned. His face and hands were seared and he was kept aboard the Gripsholm when the other survivors were j transferred to the Coast Guard t Cutter Mackinac. He will re- j turn to Norway after we land in Sweden unless he needs to be hospitalized. Reunion Touching ' One of the most touching scenes was the reunion of one of the crew members with his wife and small child who had been passengers aboard the Black Gull. He had been sep arated from them in the rescue boats and had supposed that they were lost. His wife thought he was lost. When this family was reunit ed, they fell into each other's arms with tears of joy, unable to speak. Everyone who watched them was very moved. Another crew member had even a closer shave. He swam without a life preserver of any sort for two and a half hours before he could get the atten tion of the rescuers. Finally, when he had about given up hope, the steward of the Black Gull saw him from the Grips holm's launch and he was taken aboard. (See Story on Page 1) SWIMS AT 19 MONTHS Kalamazoo, Mich.
