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.

Health Board Warns
Against False Claims
Portland (U.R) The Oregon
State Board of Health has warn
ed that manufacturers of several
septic tank cleaning compounds
have made false claims about
their products.
Curtiss M. Everts Jr., state
sanitary engineer, said the com
panies have claimed their clean
ers will keep solids from form
ing so that septic tanks will nev
er have to be cleaned.
"There are no chemicals or di
gesting yeasts which are capable
of reducing the solids in a septic
tank to the point where cleaning
is unnecessary," Everts said.

Gripsholm Passenger Tells
Of Rescuing 45 Survivors
Of Freighter Black Gull
(Editors note: Mrs. May
Forsberg, the wife of Aake
Forsberg. 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.
