Any of three secticides chlordane, toxaphene are or bciucne hexachloiide recommended by the U. S. department of agriculture for general use against hoppers on a large number cf crops Another well known Insecticide, DDT. doesnt woik against grasshoppers. Experimental work with the three Insecticides has been carried on by federal end state agencies long enough to be sure of the results. Each has advantages and choice should depend on special needs. The type of spraer or duster used makes little difference so long as the insecticide goes on evenly and in the right amounts, All three Insecticides are both stomach and contact poisons. Under field conditions, chlordane and scientific sigmfuanic of the retoxaphene are best as stomach gion is shown by the inteiest in its exploration bv such outside napoisons.

Atomic Chemical Is Used As Aid in Brain Surgery CHICAGO. Radioactive phosphorous produced in atomic-energ- y laboratories has aided in difficult surgery on brain tumors, three Boston doctors said Drs. B Selverstone, A. K. Solomon, and W. II. Sweet said that in 14 cases they were able to locate brain tumors at the time of surgery by the use of the isotope Radioactive phosphorous was given the patients by injection and became concentrated in the brain tumors, they said. The doctors then used a miniature Geiger counter, an instrument for measuring radioactivity, as a probe to locate the tumors. They described the technique in the Journal of the American Medical association. full-grow- Store Self-Servi- Norway has its first store a food self-servi-ce co-o- p. Buy U.S..

Toxaphene is available In 10 or 20 per cent dusts. It gives good results at the rate of 30 pounds of 10 per cent dust per acre. As an emulsion. It should be used at the rate of one and a half pounds of actual toxaphene against small hoppers or two and a half or three pounds against large hoppers. Toxaphene is effective for about 10 days. If the hoppers are confined to the field you want to treat, you can do a good job with benzene But if the pests are moving Into your field from the outside, g youll be wise to use the chlordane or toxaphene. cam-phe- f ;M NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT LETTERING MUTT AND JEFF PERHAPS v JOB 'ahat ,t THE BOVS CAN TELL US DISCOVERED HERE. 15 VVEVE Rv Rnrl PuliAr hexa-chlorid- "Colonel, you feel, suh? he A social climber, trying to Impress a prominent member of a club she had just joined, traced her ancestry all the way back to Julius Caesar.
