If thick enough, practically defoliate the en tire leaves except the fibrous net In some cases only small spots of damage occur on the edge of fields but in other cases the beetles seem to be scattered throughout the field. Where they are In small areas, hand dusting with DDT used at the rate of 3 per cent strength at the rate of about 20 pounds per acre gives excellent results. Where it is necessary to dust entire fields, of course, general field equipment should be secured. The S per cent DDT dust applied at 20 pounds has proven particular ly effective in the control of this Insect.

Ore., June S D Tne neavy iniesiauuu ui jiihiu crickets that Invaded the Umatilla ordnance depot here about 10 days ago is -under control" but laying eggs which offer a threat for next year. Col. Raymond G. Curtin. depot commander, reported Wednesday. He said extensive bait lines, which parallel along the 12-mile front be tween Boardman and here, were holding the Insects, apparently mov ing slower now than when they in vaded the depot's west area more than a week ago. Danger Over Curtin added that while the in festation still was "very heavy the danger to Hermiston area crops, towards which the wingless grass hoppers were headed, was passed when the egg-laying began. How ever, he suggested that the eggs a female may lay as many as 250 could hatch an even greater threat tor next year. , He said that chlordane, a new or ganic polsbn that proved highly ef fective in a test dusting near here, promised by a Yakima, Wash., firm had arrived too late to kill the crickets before they began laying. The poison was expected about a week ago but arrived only today and instead of a ton there was 200 pounds, hardly enough to do the Job. he said. However, he said the poison bran sawdust bait has been "very suc cessful" and would hold the crickets until they die in another 10 days or two weeks.

Eggs are laid In the soil around the potato plant and tills starts within a few days after the beetles leave hibernation, Egg laying continues for from four to six weeks unless stopped oy poi soning. Eggs hatch In 10 days. The resulting larvae feed on the roots and tubers of the potatoes for about 20 days after which they pupate and remain In this state for 12 days, changing to adults, but appear above ground again ready to repeal the process. Beetles resulting from eggs laid about June 1 begin emerging from the soil around July 15 to 20. and eggs laid at that time result in beetles in September and October and it is from this last crop a num ber of them go into hibernation until the next season. This informa tion indicates that dustliu should be undertaken when beetles first appear in large numbers at about this time and again in about every seven days for two or three weeks and the same process miRht be necessary in late summer. Perhaps most important dusting however, is a good dusting when they first ap pear and then close observation of the field at weekly intervals and dusttne, if numbers present, re quire 1U Color Rim To Be Shown A public showing of the color film, "Under Western Skies." will be made in the administration building at the former WRA camp, south of Tule lake, at 8 p. m.
