The larvae (or worms) hatching irom oggs usunny laid on tlic silks, ieod In the interior silk muss und burrow toward the kernels, which they also devour If not prevented. For control, use en inexnen- slvo white mineral oil (medicinal oil) or, if you can buy it already mixed, a refined mineral oil con taining u.i per cent of pyro tlirins. Tho latter Is moro effec tive. One pint will treat about 000 ears. These oils will not in Jure tho ears, leave no flavors, In no way damage the corn for food, and protect 75 to 00 per cent of oars. Use an ordinary glass medi cine dropper that holds ubout 20 drops when half full, enough for a small car. for a large ear, fill the dropper about three-fourths full. . . . Insert the medicine dropper about a quarter of an Inch into the silk mass, Just In side tno tip ox mo nusk. ine oil kills worms in tho silk and prevents the entry of others. Since not all silks mature the same day, It may bo necessary to make moro thnn one trip. Treated cars may be marked with a crayon or strip ot cloth. Wait at least three days after the silk first emerges before oil ing. By that tlmo the silks should be wilted and the tins beginning to turn brown. If applied too soon, the oil Interferes with pol lination if delayed more than sovon day after silking the worms may start leecung on tnc kernels and cannot bo reached then by the oil, IT4-H CLUB CAMP The 4-H camp nt Lake o the Woods is now entering its second succcssliu wceK.

A lie. 10 fP) Secretary of Agriculture Wick ard urged today that sales of farm land acquired by the gov ernment for war purposes be limited to those who need it for a homo and a living, with a first preference for former owners and second preference for war veterans. -' "II is mv earnest hnnr." hn said, "that congress will make sure mat tne good larm land to be released by the government is used for encouraging the family-size, family-operated farm Ideal of America, which has been the foundation rock not only of our agriculture but our entire nation." ; In testimony before a house committee considering disposal of surplus war property, Wick ard urged also that war time food processing facilities owned or llnanced by the government be dismantled or used for new purposes only with the approval ul me agriculture aepariment. Ho said the department might need the plants in carrying out congressionally-authorized farm price support programs after the war. Wickard recommended nlsn that 40 per cent of the nation's war time synthetic nitrogen piaiii capaciiy De converted to the production of nitrogen fertilizer. He asked too that aericulturp particularly soil conservation districts, be allotted shares of trucks, tractor, earth - moving equipment, road building tools, and other machinery which would help farmers conserve tne irreplacable soil resnurnps of the nation." Receipts Allocated To Counties, Fairs SALEM, Aug. 10 (fP) The state department today distrib uted $ibu,6US to counties and fairs, the amount being this year's receipts of the state rac ing commission. The apportionment is the largest in history. Last year's apportionment, which had been the highest, was $144,462. The funds will be used to fi nance fairs and expositions, but nearly all the money will be saved until after the war, as few fairs are being held during tne war. Each county receives S1461 Amounts apportioned to other agencies include: Oregon state fair and Pacific International Livestock-" exposition, $35,000 each; Pendleton round-up and Eastern Oregon Livestock show. $5000 each; Northwestern Tur key show, 51200. To state gen eral fund, $26,800. The money is raised by the state's taking .3 per cent of bets made at horse and dog races. PORTLAND, Aug. 10 P) Hail and high winds damaged some grain but a generally sat isfactory harvest of winter grain was reported by the weather bureau in the weekly survey of the state's crop and weather condition. Weather In most areas was beneficial to crops. Tempera tures climbed to the nineties in some districts, and a few ele vated areas reported freezing temperatures but no crop dam age. Corn showed some improve ment. Some early spring grain was harvested during the week. Most late grain is in need of rain, the bureau said. The fruit outlook: Most apri cots picked; early peach and ap ple picking well along; Bartlett Tire Reductions Affect Farmers Drastic reduction in heavy duty tiro quotas for the three months ending September 30 will affect many farmers since agricultural needs for heavy- duty tire replacements are not included on the number 1 prior ity list. Tires for hauling perishable fruits and vegetables are given an A-2 priority, but with the over-all quota cut from an es timated requirement of 495,000 to between 190,000 to 230,000, it is anticipated that the number 1 group will absorb the greater snare ot the supply. Heavy-duty tires are urgently needed by the armed forces, and their requirements must be met. Smaller-sized tire supplies are reported to be adequate for es sential civilian needs.

With 57 blue stars on our Serv ice Flag, our town's been mighty excited over the way things are progressing on the Continent "Shucks," says Bob New comb happily, "I knew we were going to lick them Nazis, soon as the Invasion started." "I knew It before that," says Doc Hollister. "I knew it from the way our boys were getting along with their British bud dies in those English camps. They had a lot of differences to overcome before they could work together as a team. And they overcame 'em," From where I sit, Doen mighty right. The success of oar -Invasion began months ago--when the English Tommies and the GI Joe s got together orer friendly beer, and game el darts and learned to luce i other in spite ot dlfferen tastes and habits. And that spirit of tolerance and understanding between men and nations will go far to wards building a secure Feam too.
