Below us in the ground, around us in the trees and shrubs, above us in the air there are countless insects for every square mile of the earths' sur face, there are probably two billion insects! Fortunately, more than 95 per cent are beneficial to man and those few which are destructive are preyed upon by beneficial insects. In all forms of agriculture in sects play an important role in fertilizing and aeriating the soil and assisting in the pollination of such plants as clover and al falfa, apples and cherries, onions and potatoes. In addition to helping supply us with vegetables, fruits and berries,' they also supply man indirectly with fooa: the clover cattle eats is converted into O-jUt.Cf milk, cream, cheese and even steaks; the insects chickens eat to augment their diet, goes into eggs and roast .chickens; the mosquitoes a frog consumes goes into a dish of froglegs; the cad dis larvae at the bottom of the stream go into the gullets of fresh-water gamefish, including young salmon, and make can ned salmon possible. Besides this, the honeybee sup plies us directly with millions of pounds of honey to sweeten our fare. Before the advent of cane, beet and maple syrup, honey was the only sweetening agent in common use. And bees wax,, secreted as thin scales or flakes by glands on the under side of the Worker bee's abdo men, is used extensively in in dustry to help manufacture car bon paper, floor waxes and fur niture polishes, shaving creams, cold creams, electrical insula tion, colored pencils, and boot waterproofing. Silk-Worm's Role Another "domesticated in sect, the silk-worm which was first cultivated extensively in the Far East performs an even greater role in clothing mankind with silk. In southeastern Asia there is an insect, the lac, whose secre tions produce shellac for which no true substitute has yet been developed in India alone, this constitutes a $30,000,000 trade with the U.S. A relative of this lac, a para site on prickly pear, is the coch ineal which manufactures with in its-body a beautiful red dye which is nonpoisonous. This dye is used extensively : in lipsticks - Fi Dhn I 21" TW- 34995 We' Give? Northern Stamps 'MORE FOR YOUR MONEY AT MINKLER'S' By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist and rouge; for coloring medi cines and beverages in cake and cookie frostings. It takes about 70,000 of these ground-up female insects to make a pound of this dye. Another insect, in laying its eggs produces plant galls which contain an abundance of tannic acid of great value in tanning leather and skis. Must Restore Pollinators With the extensive use of in sect sprays which cannot dis criminate between beneficial or harmful insects, many fruit and vegetable growers are finding that to get good crops they must restore the natural pollinators and this they do by renting pro fessional honeybee colonies. These are trucked in overnight and when morning comes, the intelligent honeybees go about their labors of collecting nectar and pollen. In doing so, they can orient themselves to : the new location of their hive almost immediately no small feat con sidering the size of the insect and the distance it travels, aver aging about a half mile trip al though they have been known to go five. In giving man a "hand," other insects have been employed to check the growth and spread of noxious weeds, an outstanding example being the successful control of the prickly pear in Australia. This plant, introduced into Australia in 1787, increased and multiplied to such an extent that by 1925 its peak year, be fore insects came to the rescue 60,000,000 acres in Queensland and ' New South - Wales : were overrun. Not only were native flora crowded out, but grazing lands were also invaded and in many areas the cultivation of crops became impossible.. Every effort to combat the scourge proved unavailing until a small moth was brought in from the Argentine. It speedily solved the problem the grubs - from this moth burrow into' the . -juicy stems and with the help of dis ease organisms " which " subse quently gained access to the vital tissues, the prickly pear plants were soon reduced to rotting masses of pulp and the land was saved! - '". Just as insects have a share in nearly every square yard of the earth's inhabitable surface, so too do they wave their an tennae into, most of man's daily concerns and make it possible for us to stay alive.

(International) Foster Parents Of Tiny Boy Beaverton (U.R) The feud over custody of 10-months-old David Martin Casteel was ended Saturday with the boy's foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Remington of Beaverton, get ting the boy. Remington and the child's real father, Arnold Casteel, met Fri day night for a man-to-man talk and settled the matter as "fath ers should." The feud started June 14 when Remington siezed the boy from Casteel's home after police had taken him from the Reming ton's icutody on a court order. Remington was charged with creating a riot but was acquitted in a Hillsboro trial. Earlier, the Casteels, who have two ' other children, had put David up for adoption. The Remingtons took the child and said they considered him their own.- The Casteels later had a change of heart and attempted to win the child back. Friday night's agreement, how ever, appeared to have ended the dispute for signing of the craft binding. Each week new submissions will be considered. Sorry, .

Dean Fuller of Moro, Ore., who apparently drowned Thursday night when he drove his car off the Mary hill ferry landing. Fuller's Portland companion, Fred Lumm Jr., escaped through the car's open window and swam to safety. The sheriff's office said Lumm told them the two men left The Dalles, One., Thursday night traveled east on Highway 830, stopped at a tavern and arrived at the ferry landing on the Wash ington side. Lumm said that while waiting for the ferry he gave the wheel to Fuller. He said Fuller shoved the car in gear and floorboarded the throttle. The car roared over the dock into the river. . The car was recovered about 2 a.m. Friday, but Fuller's body was not found despite dragging operations, a search of the river bank and an aerial survey of the river downstream from the ferry.
