government Is inclined TO encourage
the new American dyes industry which
has grown up In this country since the
war. Prior TO the war. practically all

products. The German research chem

there was no industry In the United
States able to cope with them equally.
In addition to the Importance of the
dye industry to the first by-products
that go to make up both belligerent

government is greatly dependent upon
the personnel of the dye factories and
other such Industries for its wartime

trained labor can save what are some
times dangerous losses of material
and. in addition, can make practical
suggestions to the chemists that
they never before had thought of.
The present plans Of the War de-

Chemical Warfare Service CO.
operates With Agricultural and
Interior Departments.
WAR ON RODENT AND INSECT
Permanent Artillery Against the Boil
WeeviI and Other Pests Hoped for
Research Work Since the War
Has Been Fruitful.

Washington.-The War department
mas recently asked the secretary of
agriculture and the secretary Of the
interior to cooperate with the
chemical warfare service Of the army
In devising peace-time gases to COM
bat the boil weevil and other civic
and Industrial pests. 1t Ii the belief
OF the army that SO many new chemical
gases and other chemical products
nave been developed as a result of re-
search work since the war that at
last the government Is In a position
TO extend the hope that 1t may be able
not only to exterminate the rodents that
inrest the disease breeding quarters OF
cities, but be able as well TO cope
with and destroy the rodents and In.
sects that destroy the agricultural
crops.
Tie developments OF war must be
the implements OF peace, according to
Brfgadier General Amos A. Fries
CHIEF of chemical warfare of the army
Accordingly, the chemical warfare ser
vice has begun a campaign to develop
gases that win attack and exterminate
net only the rats that infest sewers
cut the bugs and worms that eat uE
the leaves and fruits of various agri
cultural products.
Blackbirds = Pest.
At present, the army Is working OF
request from Representative Ph!liI
ID. Swing, Of Imperial Valley
California. in the hope of finding some
thing that will exterminate the black
bird pest In that community.
Congressman Swing was recen
visitor at the EdgewOod Arsenal, a
Edgewood, Maryland, where tn,
chemical warfare gas research Is be
Ing carried on. He had already aske,
the government to devise some proven
tive against the blackbirds. He com
planned that the blackbirds bred II
millions In the delta of the Colorad,
river. just below the Grand Canyon
and came over In midsummer to dev
astate the kafiir corn fields sowed b,
the farmers Of the famous Imperia
Valley.
As a result of his visit he was as
sured that the Chemical Warfar
Service could devise a poison tina
would kill some of the birds and driv
J of the others. He was told, however
that to use 1t the farmers would hav,
to content themselves with using thei
products for food and fodder alone. a
the chemicals would destroy the re
seeding value Of the fruit. In re
Spouse, the congressman pointed GU
that as things stand the farmers ge
neither food nor seed. Mr.. Swing wa
assured that the government woul,
undertake u new series of experiment
to attempt to develop something tina
would both protect the grain and it
re-seeding qualities.
| The effectiveness of chemical war
fare against rodents had already bee,
proven. The army recently sent
group Of experts to Cuba with chemi
Gals and Instruments for destroyin
rats and other vermin. The resul
OF their efforts Is reported to hay
