Gamers in Area Must Stop Operations df 6
 p. M. Today

Salmon fishing in the Alaska Peninsula district will close at 6 pm. this evening, three days ahead of the previously announced sea- sonal closing date.
 Order to discontinue the fishing in that district, which includes False Pass. King Cove, the Shumi- gan Islands and extends down as far as the Chignik district, was received here late yesterday. The order was cabled from Washing ton, D. O., to the Fisheries Divis- ion of the Game and Wildlife Ser vice in Juneau It was in the form of a supplementary regulation signed by Harold Ickes, Secretary of the Interior.
 As originally scheduled, fishing in the district would have closed at pm. on August IS. The short ening of the season by three days was due to the unexpected poor run of fish in the district, it was stated.
 Orders from Juneau went out last night to Mark Logan, Fishery Management Agent in charge of the Alaska Peninsula district, ac- cording to J. Steele Culbertson, As sistant Fisheries Management Sup ervisor, here. Logan, in turn, was instructed to notify canners of the curtailment of their fishing sea- son.

for the Wasps to catch up with them
and win the battle. But win 1t they
eventually will!
While States along the Atlantic
seaboard are battling japanese
beetles, other sections fight other
types of insect enemies. Grass
hopper armies of million to the
acre are not unusual in the Middle
West. Flying swarms of them
miles square have been seen BY
aviatorS.
Travel in Armies.
Only one weapon conquers the
grasshopper army, and that Is poison
bait. In one year the Department
of Agriculture has furnished a mil
lion dollars worth of this bran
sawdust and arsenic mixture free
to American farmers. This bait Is
spread over infested fields just when
the baby hoppers are crawling out
of the ground. They are hungry
and they gobble it up. The arsenic
does the rest.
Army worms are so named be-
cause they literally travel across
country in armies. They are smooth
brown caterpillars less than inches
long. They eat day and night, and
when they finish up every leaf ano
stalk in one field they move on tc
the next. So dense are the swarm;
that they paralyze traffic when they
cross highways and railroad tracks
Cars skid helplessly over thell
crushed, oily bodies. A train simply
has to wait until they pass before
it can make steep grade.
Man battles the army worm ano
its cousin, the cutWorm, with dust
Not ordinary dust, of course. but
finely powdered arsenic Farmers
scatter the powder over their crops
in the field. Even airplanes are
called in to help. They blow lhe
dust with their propellers, but they
must fly no higher than Is feet,
dangerously low altitude. Other ha-
rassed farmers dig shallow trenches
across the insects paths. When q
few million worms fall into them
they are squashed by dragging
heavy logs along the trenches.
Colored lights are the latest wea'
pons to be used successfully in bug
battles. When California's vine
yards were threatened by an insect
called the grape leafhopper, scien-
fists were called upon for remedy
They studied the insects habits ano
discovered that grape leafhoppers
will fly toward a pale blue light. but
don't even notice red or green lights
That discovery was all the scien-
lists needed. They put pale blue
electric lights inside cages covered
with wire screen carrying an electric
charge. The hoppers flew toward
their favorite color, struck the
charged screen and were electro
cuted. Five thousand hoppers are
killed by one of these light-traps
in a single night-at almost no ex-
pense.
