PAGE TEN HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON 'Quit 17 POISON FOR EARWIGS PROVES EFFECTIVE BAIT PLACED NEAR PLACE OF BUG Victory garden and flower growers 01 me mamatn Dasin area have an effective weapon against the hungry earwig army in a pui&unuus UllAlUie WHICH may be scattered in gardens and among shrubs to do away with the pests, according to C. A. Hen derson, agricultural agent for ruamatn county. If a mixture of 12 pounds of bran, a pound of sodium fluosin cate and one Quart of fish oil (which earwigs consider a great delicacy) is careiuny spread about the premises, the results have been found most satisfac tory in this area, Henderson points out. Oregon State College Exten sion bulletin number 551, "Veg-etable-Garden Insect-Pest Con trol" gives the directions for , placing the poison as follows: ''Scatter bait along fences, piles of boards, vood piles, trees, or other places where earwigs may hide, xne poison aiso is scatter ed over the lawn, after which it is best to wait two days before sprinkling the lawn again. The formula given is enough for one application to an area 8000 square feet. Since cutworms and earwigs are active mostly at night, the bait is applied in late evening.". . Henderson adds that for the average city residence, probably not more than one-sixth of the formula would be needed to thoroughly poison the property at any one time and it would be better to mane poison as need - ed rather than to carry over a larger quantity until it is used.. Henderson warns tnat children and pets should not play around places where the formula is used. Ingredients for the mixture may be obtained at local feed and seed stores. At the residence of Roy Call, where the infestation was par ticularly thick, continued appli cation oi the poison seems to have brought the earwigs under control in the space of about five applications, according to (Jail. This formula is equally effec tive on other chewing insects and pests in the Klamath area. It is not particularly effective, however, on other than chewing insects. The bulletin "Vegetable-Garden Insect-Pest Control" has di rections for control of all other ' types of pests usually found in mis area, Henderson points out, and is distributed free of charge irom his oiiice upon request. Note: The . earwig parasites which were tried by some of ine residents of tne wot Springs district of the city as a means of control a few years go, is con sidered to . be not generally ef fective, ' Henderson says. Al though' the parasite flies are be lieved to be able to live where ever the earwigs live, for some reason they did not survive in this region- where the earwigs seem to thrive. 1ECREASE EYED IN WHEAT GROP WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 . W) Although war food administra tion goals for 1945. wheat plant ing acreage calls for a nation wide increase of 1,900,000 acres more than planted for harvest mis year, Doth Washington and Oregon goals call for a decrease as compared with- 1944 plant ings, was revealed yesterday. The WFA goal for Oregon is but 995, 00Q acres or 2000 less than is planted this year. Wash ington's goal of 2,375,000 is sz,uuu less than the 2,697,000 acres seeded in 1944. :Of the northwest states, only Idaho with a goal of 1,100,000 for 1945 showed an increase over 1944 plantings. Idaho had 1,600,000 acres- in wheat this year. - Fruit Expert' 1 " i Damaged Spud Crop May Not Mean Loss To Growers, Report The Duke of Windsor eyes a peach harvested by some of his constituent Bahamans at Chan dler's Orchard, Milton, Del., and apparently the fruit passes muster.

Marketing is registered by the food ministry, and even some phases of the growing. A grower may not dig nntatnpc. until thpv are matura and grading is regulated to pre vent mum any out low grade cull potatoes to livestock. The striking increase in acreage also reflects some industrial use of potatoes. A potato marketing board reg ulated potato marketing before the war, but gave way to the food ministry in December, 1939. Post-war planning has been sug gested by the board, providing for a more or less permanent in crease of about 10 per cent in potato acreage. The potato as a war crop has been adaptable in providing a rapid increase in food. Pour into a baking dish and top with baking powder biscuits. Bake the dish at 400 degrees F. for 20 or 30 minutes. The recipe serves six persons. tato price was lipped 90 cents per hundred-weight, or n cor responding one-third Increase over what had been scheduled for August. "The adjustment," said the of- jicitti aimmincenient, "w n s granted on the basis of a .special department of agriculture report showing that drought in the area since July 1 has resulted in pro duction about one-third below the 10-year average yield for that area." The Stewart amendment, sponsored through the legisla tive machine of the nation lw the American Farm Bureau fed eration, requires the office of price administration to mnicn adequate allowances and adjust ments in price ceilings to make up for crou losses and othor hn. eras in tne production and mar keting of fresh fruits and veg etables. The intent is to require increases in ccilimrs in th m, of crop loss or reduced yield.
