THURSDAY. AUGUST 25, 1910 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. Fleas Killed By Dog Food Treated With Chemicals Corvallis Dog's best friend may have thrown a monkey wrench into the time-honored pastime of flea-scratching. An Oregon State college scientist has concocted a chemical treatment for ' dog food that promises to leave a pooch foot-loose and flea-free. Here's how it worked in ORS trials. Light dosages of chemicals mixed with dog food went into the dog's blood- . bloodstream without noticeable injury to the dog. But the chemicals played ha voc with fleas that nipped the dog. ' . . . ' .- . It all resulted as an offshoot of work by R. L. Goulding, OSC agricultural experiment station entomologist. His. ex periments with chemicals to control insects that bite cattle suggested the idea. Exposed to Fleas ,' Dogs . were fed chemically treated foods, then exosed to fleas all carefully counted for four days. A recount at the end of the trial found 85 to 95 per cent of the fleas dead. Further proof that every has his day came with a bonus effect of the treatment. Vet erinarians discovered that the chemicals sharply reduced stomach worms in the lucky pups. Dr. D. H. Smith, veterinar ian, and Dr. S. E. Knapp, para sitologist with the OSC de partment of veterinary medi cine, assisted Goulding with the project. Preliminary Findings Goulding emphasized that his findings are only prelimi nary. Many angles need inves tigating by researchers and dog-food producers before a flea-proofing food could be perfected and marketed. Unanswered questions: How much chemical could a dog takef or long periods without damage? How much chemical is needed to keep a dog flea free? What would the food cost and how long could it be stored? Meanwhile, the researchers see deeper implications in the findings. Most rodents carry flease of various types fre quently infected with disease. A flea toxicant could give scientists a tool for their worldwide f ight a g a i n t plagues and diseases spread by fleas carried on rodents, Dog Deserted Due To Legal Hassle Portland .-' (UPD - A large ' brown shepherd dog waited patiently in the police station animal , cage Wednesday, un aware of legal complications . preventing her from being -re united with her owners. The dog's dilemma started Sunday, when police arrested her, owners, Ronald Lee Brown," 22, and his wife, Joyce Marie,' 16, as federal fugitives wanted on a 'stolen auto charge in Bakersfield Calif. . Brown refused to sign the dog over to the Oregon Hu mane society, or to agree to pay board for the dog. He said it was the responsibility of police to care for his pet until he could reclaim her. Meanwhile, the U. S. mar shal who arrived to conduct Brown to Bakersfield. ada mantly refused to take along the dog. , Police said the situation may be further complicated before long, since the shep herd appears about ready to have pups. But officers said if the Browns continue to re fuse to release the dog, a pa trolman has agreed to care for her. Even Application Key to Bug Control Kent, Ohio-(UPD-It isn't so much what you use but how . you use it that can mean grub -proofing rather than grub-staking the always hun gry Japanese beetle. Entomologist Dr. Carl Han sen of the Davey Tree Expert Co., reports that thoroughness is the keynote in ridding lawns of this landscaping 1 greenery free loader. "Even the most lethal poi son, carelessly applied, will not control the pest," he said. "The trick in effective grub- proofing-reaching the matur ing beetle grubs nibbling at tender grass roots-is applying the insecticide evenly." SOCIOLOGIST DIES . New York - (UPD - Prof. Samuel A. Stouffer, 60, who was considered one of the na tion's leading sociologists, died of cancer Wednesday In New York hospital. Stouffer, director of the laboratory of social relations since ' its founding at Harvard univer sity in 1946, conducted major studies in public opinion anal y s i s and rftitivational research.
