Pesli Can Bt Destroyed By
Devices Other Than Poisons
There are a few farsighted
and wise folks working on
new methods for combating
animal and plant pests. The
present indiscriminate spray
ing of poisonous chemicals,
which has been the ridiculous
and dangerous practice during
the past few years, has ad
versely affected the health of
man and wildlife.
The people with the intel
ligent approach to pest control
are applying biological chem-
ical and rrechanical methods
rather than poisons. Research
scientists, delving deeply into
the life histories of many
pests, have already made some
remarkable discoveries, many
of which hold promise of suc
cess. Vacuum Cleaner
One remarkable and rather
startling method of control
ling the boll weevil is a me
chanical contrivance that, in
actual use, has been found
to assure the cotton grower
freedom from this pest witlv
out danger of poisoning near
ly all other living things.

vacuum cleaner, moves along
between the rows picking up
larvae-infested cotton flowers.
The infested buds of the cot
ton plant drop from the plant.
These machines gather up,
grinds up into a fine powder,
and ejects a harmless dust.
Experimental fields in which
the machine has been tried
report an almost complete
elimination of boll weevils.
The research scientists did
not stop there. After they de
vised the cotton picking ma
chine, they pressed on. By
analyzing the substances in
the cotton plant itself, they
located a substance that, if
bred back into the plants in
an increased amount, would
act as a natural repellent and
would make any boll weevil
that ate it become sick and
die.
Sterile Males
Still intent on what other
surprises they could bring to
bear against the enemy of the
cotton plant, they sterilized
with chemicals a KrouD of
male weevils and turned them
loose in the cotton patch. The
resultant eggs, so hopefully
deposited by the female boll
weevils, failed to hatch. Re
sult: No boll weevils were
born.
Even more promising is an
appetite stimulant. The boll
weevil larva always attempts
to make a hog of himself.
Anything he likes, he eats in
limitless amounts. That's one
thing that makes him such
a pest.
So-the boys found out what
flavor the little monsters go
for, and they squirted it onto
various materials. Whatever
the stimulant was on, the
weevils pitched in and hogged
it down.
Pulled Fast Ont
So the boys pulled a fast
one. They impregnated saw
dust witli the chemicals. The
flavor was irresistible; they
ate the flavored sawdust until
their sides distended and in
cidentally, they all starved to
death.
In the world of insects, as

Livestock Judging
Teams Selected
Members of the Jackson
county 4-H livestock judging
teams for state fair and Pa
cific International were an
nounced at the Central Point
West Side pre-fair recently.
Scores on the seven classes
of livestock were added to
previous practice scores, and
the final selections were
made.
Linda Gibson and Janet
Lee, West Side; Renee John
son, Phoenix; Mike Elmore,
Applcgate; Mary Ann Can-
trail, Ruch, and Candy Gail,
Gold Hill, are the top six
livestock judges for 1963 with
Carol Foote, Central Point;
Marilyn Lathrop, Antelope,
and Cathy Legler, Central
Point, as alternates.
Nearly 150 4-H youths and
several FFA boys judged live
stock at the Jackson county
fairgrounds and many others
came later to practice show
manship with beef, dairy,
swine and rabbits.
Several hundred club mem
bers, parents and friends were
served lunch at noon during
one of the largest pre-fairs
ever held. Acting as judges
for the day were Jack Dube,
Dick Ireland, William Jeskey
and Bill Bigham.
Winners of pre-fair ribbons
on livestock judging were Don
Herzog, Marilyn Lathrop,
Cathy Legler, Jim Shepherd,
Alan Bray and Jim Caldwell.
In the rabbit judging contest
ribbons went to Doug Cor

SIAC Pays Two
Millionth Claim
Salem - lUPn - Oregon's In
dustrial Accident commission
has paid its two millionth
claim.
The state's workmen's com
pensation law was passed 50
years ago July 1 and became
effective a year later.
It took 32 years for the first
million claims to be paid but
the increase in the state s bus
iness and industrial growth
cut the time of the second
million to 17 years.
The first claim was filed in
July, 1914, just 24 hours after
the law became effective.
Only a few hazardous in
dustries were covered by the
law at its outset.
In July of 1922, 10,182
firms were insured and the
average wage per day was
$1.50.
There are now 39,840 firms
covered and the average wage
scale is $24 a day.
pets. There are any number
of parasites which prey on
destructive bugs.
There are viruses, loo, that
can be introduced to kill
harmful insects, infecting
them with their own diseases.
These approaches to the
problem of pest control are in
telligent more in keeping
with man's often expressed
claim of superior intelligence,
without the use of poisonous
chemicals that threaten ani
mal and man alike.

show that conditions were so
bad in Red China during the
winter of 1960-61 that there
was a threat of revolution.
U.S. officials said that the
documents, in t h e form of
journals of the Communist
Chinese army, represented
"one of the most important
cacnes of material ever ob
tained from behind the Bam
boo Curtain.
unc omciai saia it was
"like getting a look at the
dark side of the moon."
Serious Shortages
The documents depicted
serious shortages of food and
other basic needs for both
the army and the general pub
lic. During one period, the
journals say, there were a
number of "disturbances" in
the area of Canton, where ci
vilian members of the militia
rose in protest and killed a
number of Communist party
members and disrupted com
munications. The militiamen, who are
under indirect army control,
were said to have been join
ed in some instances bv de
fectors from the army. The
documents designate the num
ber of defectors with X's.
There was no explanation of
how many men an'X repre
sented, but a State Depart
ment spokesman said U. S.
analysts believed each X rep
resented at least 1,000 men
possibly more.
Regular Army Used
Regular army troops ap
parently were sent in to quell
the uprisings and the militia
was subsequently reorganized
with regular army officers
taking a more direct hand in
controlling it.
The State Department said
the documents had been in
U. S. hands for "some time"
but declined to say how they
were obtained. Officials said
they covered activities from
about mid-1960 to mid-1961. 1
They went only to top Red
Chinese army and govern
ment officials.
World Land Speed
Record Shattered
Bonneville Salt Flats
Utah - lUPH - The jct-powercd
racer "Spirit of America."
piloted by confident Craig
Breedlove, established a
world land speed record Mon- j
day with an unofficial two- j
way clocking of 407.45 miles '
an hour on the sun-splashed
Bonneville Salt Flats.
Breedlove's performance:
shattered the 16-ycar-old '
speed mark of 394.2 m.p.h.
set by Britisher John Cobb.
A 26-year-old racing expert
from Los Angeles, Breedlove
was timed at 388.47 miles an
hour in his first run at 6:30 I
a.m. He was assured of the j
world mark when he drove
the sleek racer through the !
measured mile at a speed of
428.37 on the return run.
After setting the new unof
ficial mark, Breedlove told j
newsmen botli runs went :
smoothly except for a slight
wind problem on the return
run on the 10-mile long
course.
