NEW MOTH ExTERMINATOR
Science at Last Finds Way to Elm.
mate Pest

Ill smelling moth balls, spraying
devices, the brushing and airing OF
clothes, the packing of garments in
chests with disagreeable odors. are
all banished by a new process OF
dealing with the destructive moth
and the Young moth grubs which are
responsible for so many millions OF
dollars worth of damage annually.
Up to the present time Science has
been unable TO cope with this de-
destructive pest without resortinS to
means in which the cure was worse
than the disease. With our modern
heating processes and present day
housing conditions the moths have
become an all-year-round pest.
The new process which science,
with modern chemicals has discover
cd consists of an indeStructible metal
canister made of German silver, or
namental as we'll as useful, filled with
harmless gasses, odorless, in crystal
form. There sasscs. being heavier
than air. penetrate into the garments
and crevices, killing all moths and
preventing the development of eggs
or larvae. Thus it accomplishes a
double purpose-destroying both the
cgg-laying moth and the larvae, the
Young moth grubs in the growing or
destructive stage.
One can now hang clothes In the
closet, with this canister on a hook or
shelf. and go away with clear con-
Here is an actual test performed
with this modern device: Live moths
were put into an actinary closet with
a canister hung on wall-hook ana
the door closed. After three hours
every moth was dead.
The following report was MADE py
modern chemists and approved by >.

test by placing 1t in an enc!oseo
snace into which live moths had been
introduced. We found that these
vapors strongly repealed moths. and
If used in sufficient quantities 10 sat
urate the atmosphere, killed the
moths in this confined space. Used IN
the proper quantities. it will not only
kill the moth in such place as
closet or trunk, but also the larvae,
that is. the moth in the feeding or
destructive stage.
Practical household tests have pro-
duced startling results. one woman
who denied the existence OF moths In
her closet was astonished to discover
at the end Of three hours. after plac-
ing a canister in her closet, six dead
moth grubs.
This modern device is sold at
nominal cost and can be ref1lled
cheaply.

That the services of Chairman

non Metcalf, secretary of the Ne
vada Land & Livestock association,

sues most carefully. He took an
active part in the hearing and his
very intelligent and helpful work
was of great benefit. l was much
pleased to have him in the case be-
cause he is an outstanding figure
among the various state railroad
commissions and thoroughly under
stands our problems. The state of
Nevada is to be congratulated in
having so able a man at the head
of the public service commission,
and I hope Nevada stockmen will
recognize and appreciate his work,

railroad issues to which he is de-
voting his attention. Mr. Shaugh-

AND WEATHER
FOR week OF NOV. 6

Observer H. F. Alps of the Reno
weather bureau of the department Of
agriculture has issued the following
weather and crop report for the week
November 7, 1923:
Ideal fall weather continued dur
ing the past week. The days were
clear and warn and the nights were
cold. The only precipitation report
ed was in the extreme west portion on
October 81, when 0.19 inch fell al
Reno. Several stations in the north
reported temperatures as low as 20
degrees and some stations recorded
maximum temperatures of 60 de-
grees or slightly higher. The sun.
shine was about So per cent of the
possible amount, and the wind move
ment was light.
The continuation OF excellent fall
weather favored livestock and all
outside activities. Road corstruc-
ton went forward without delay.
Ranchers were busy with odd jobs
which had not been completed. In
a few places the last of the potatoes
were dug. Potato shipments we're
large. Ranges and pastures are in
excellent condition in the north por.
ton. All livestock have been moved
from the higher mountains in Elko
county because of moderate SHOWS
which fell in October. Cattle and
sheep are in good condition, except
in the south, where rain is much
needed for range grass and to fill
water holes. Long trailing to water
caused some shrinkage in the ex-
IRENE south. Nearly all beef cattle
have been sold and shipped. The am
pie rainfall in the northern two
thirds of the state during October
put the soil in good condition for
blowing, and much of this work has
been done. The later districts re-
port threshing finished and good
yields of well matured grain. Roads
are in good condition for this season
of the year, although they arc dusty
in the south and muddy in some
northern districts.
