Byrd and Party Battle Storm,
With Mercury From Fl
to So Below.
BY RUSSELL OWEN.

BY Radio to The Star.
LITTLE AMERICA, Antartica, April
26-Another storm period seems to be
upon us today. The wind Is again
blowing hard and the temperature is
is still 81 below zero.
Last night it was 40 below zero and
the day before So below zero. The
wind started yesterday afternoon and
has slowly but steadily increased in
force until the drift outside hides
everything in smother which blinds
and confuses any one who ventures
out in it.
Byrd Seeks Protection For All.
Comdr. Byrd has been trying all sorts
Of arrangements recently in an attempt
to find something to protect us against
the wind and yesterday he went for
q long walk down to the bay ice with
the temperature 81 below and 20
mile wind blowing,
Z III the wind can be kept from the
face, which is the only exposed part of
the body, he has found that he can
keep warm for long period OF time.
He has been experimenting With face
masks to protect the nose and cheeks
and has devised one which, although
1t gets wet and frozen, does not touch

Eyes Hit by Wind.
The only places which the wind can
hit are around the eyes. and he Is try
ing to find way to protect them. F1irs
have proved a perfect clothing excep.
for fast travelling, when they are too
warm.
While he was on the bay ice Yeeter-
day, there was perceptible fog despite
the low temperature
1t seems inconceivable that moisture
could exist in the air In such cold
weather, but the fog Is real deathless.
1t is explained by the fact that humid
ity may be relatively Just as great here
as in warmer climate, although the
actual amount of moisture contained in
the air at SO below zero is infinitesimal.
Unnatural But Real Fog.
The air viii hold only a certain
amount of water at a certain

Great Drive Expected to Follow Florida
Campaign.
BY FRANK I. WELLER.
.aa -, ~ USttA~


The sensational battle with the Medi-
terranean fruit fly at Orlando. Fla,
NAV be only the opening shot in one
of the countrys greatest flights to eX-
terminate a foreign pest, Federal OH
Gals fear.
The full force of the Federal Gov
ernment's powerful machinery for fight
ing fruit pests is behind the drive.
Decision of the Federal horticultural
board to embrace all Of Florida in .
quarantine controlling the movement
of fruits and certain vegetables opened
the door to Federal participation in the
battle. 1t was reached after CONFER
ences with Florida officials and citrus
growers.
The quarantine Is In no sense an
embargo. but all shipments VIII Be
made in accordance with regulatory
measures.
For one hundred years the Mediterra-
mean fruit fly has been known 70
science, and during that time has
spread throughout the world. Until
ft appeared in Florida, North America
was the only large area to escape.
There is no knowledge Of the man
ner IN which 1t gained entrance. Here
tofore it has been kept out OF TINS
country by an embargo on certain
process has required the constant vigil
lance of the Federal horticultural board.
Barriers Erected In Past.
Every possible barrier against the
rest had been erected by State ana
FEDERAL quarantine and 1t was believed
little danger of It's gaining entry
through the medium OF commercial
shipments of fresh fruits existed.
1t may have been brought IN ny tne
sa,rreptitious visit of boat from Ber-
ra,da on fruits concealed by tourists,
or in mail and express packages sent
from infested countries, some explana-
tons suggest.
Or. c. {. Mariatt, chief Of the United
states Bureau of Entomology and ehieI
Of Federal plant quarantine and con-
trol administration, expects the regula-
tory measures to minimize the spread OF
the insect to other parts OF Florida.
Destructiveness of the Fly in other
countries and the fact that IL Is almost
impossible to control adds to the serious
r.ess of the outbreak In this country.
The Mediterranean fruit ny Is one
Of the worst enemies OF fruit grown IN
tropical and semi-tropieal countries.
In the Hawaiian Islands, where it has
raused great damage since 1910, it at
tacks 70 kinds of fruits, includlng
oranges. grapefruits lemons, lines,
reaches, apples, ounces, pears, plums
and grapes.
Attacks Cotton Also.
An indication of its potential danger
10 various parts OF the United States IS
seen in the fact that it attacks sucn
vegetables as tomatoes, and even oe-
stroys cotton bolls.
Most of the things subject to the
rest now are grown or can be grown
In the Southern States, the Gun region,
California and the Southwest.
The fly lays its eggs beneath tne skln
cr shell of fruits, nuts and vegetables.
e7d the feeding larvae may destroy the
interior completely. Often damage Is
rot apparent until infested fruit starts
falling.

Field Forces Mobilize for
Florida "Front" in War
to Destroy Pest.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Field forces of the Department of
Agriculture now being modified to
repel the attack of the dreaded Mediter-
ranean fruit fly. recently discovered in
Florida, will be directed by DR.. Wilmon
Newell, State plant commissioner OF
Florida.
Coincident with the appointment of
Dr. Newell. Chairman Warren of the
Senate appropriations committee said
his committee would consider the House
resolution. making available S4,250,000
to fight the pest, Monday or Tuesday,
and that he looked for prompt action
in the Senate.
DR.. A. c. Baker has been placed in
charge of research work in the field
and H. T. Cronin will go from Wash
ington to control the fiscal administra-
ton. The department hopes to learn
more of the habits of the fly in order
to find a parasite which might destroy
1t. These habits indicate a rapid
spread of the fly unless it can be eradi-
Gated completely at the point of inva-
sion.
DR.. c. L. Marlatt. chief of the quar-
antine administration, said today that
at least 20 more experts would be sent
to Florida as soon as possible and the
force augmented there until 1t probably
would reach several hundred persons
In addition to experts the department
expects to employ several hundred Ia
borers to clean up infested areas.
Department officials declared that ef-
forts being made by individual States
TO keep all fruit and vegetables from
moving from Florida would nullify the
purposes of the Government in placing
the quarantine:
DR.. Marlatt has stated that If it were
the purpose of the Government to kill
the fruit and vegetable industry 1t could
be done much more cheaply by simply
letting the fly spread. 1t is the opinion
Of experts that safeguards now being
thrown around interstate shipments
are sufficient to stop the spread of the
fly so that eradication work can be con-
fined to the areas known to be infested.
WAR ON FLY MAY SPREAD.

f.-Fattening poultry for market is
one phase Of the farm business Of

II per cent to 80 per cent in ten
days time are registered, Clyde In
gram. poultry specialist OF the

the poultry group at the Farmers
Short Course. A. g. M. College OF
Texas, Wednesday. "A pound OF
gain usually results from q con-
sumption Of three and ore-half
pounds Of concentrated feed" he
said.
The process OF fattening poultry
Is simple. requires little equipment
and the feed is easily procured and
used. During ~fattening the water
In the muscles is replaced largely
by oil, the flesh Is enmarbled with
delicious fat, the tendons lose their
stringiness and the birds become
very plump and exceptionally well
filled in breast and back, the
speaker went on 10 say.
Chickens may be fattened either
IN a crate or in the general pen, MI.
Ingram said, but experience has
shown that birds gain much faster
and more economically in crates.
The battery crate used in CONNER
cial plants is too expensive for the
farmer producer but a home made
stationary one Is easily made. Scrap
lumber and old wire will do to make
the crates in units 10 feet long, ID
inches wide and "a inches high, di-

30 inches above the ground and
made of ordinary plaster lath run

be Slated vertically allowing ? IL
inches between them in order that
birds may reach through to eat
from the v-shaped trough which
hangs at the floor line on the
