BY the Associated Press,

The Post Office Department closed
the l943 fiscal year on June 80
with deficit of what it said was
$3543, ,l22, the smallest in "a years.
The 1912 deficit of $11,825, 1876, had
been the lowest since 1919.
In announcing the 1943 deficit,
Postmaster General Walker said
these factors combined to prevent
profit: Postage free mail from Gov
ernment departments was heavy be-
cause Of war requirements, adding
to costs but producing no revenue:
more than 2,000,000,000 pieces of
mail were handled postage free for
members of the armed forces. and
salary increases enacted by Congress
added substantially to expenditures.
Revenues in the 1943 fiscal year
totaled $961 ,059, $50, an increase of
$101 .242,19 over 1941. The increase
almost equaled the entire revenues

Peach 0rchardists Find
Ragweed Controls Pest
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BLACKBURG, Va, Aug. 16.-En-
tomologists are encouraging strips of
ragweed in peach orchards to keep
the oriental moth under control.
A. B. Massey, associate professor of
biology at Virginia Tech, said today.
A year ago, Mr.. Massey got ''in
bad" with some of his hay fever
friends by suggesting that ragweed
has value because it supplies food to
wildlife and aids in checking soil
erosion. Now other scientists have
come to the aid of the arch enemy
of hay fever victims, Mr.. Massey
said.
The tech professor said that the
Connecticut Agricultural Expert
ment Station recently has found
that there is a stalk borer common
in the ragweed which is parasitized
by a wasp-like insect. Through the
winter, this insect passes a stage
in the body of the ragweed borer
emerging in the spring. 1t then
seeks out the worm-like stage of
the oriental fruit moth, which is a
particular pest of the peach.
Because of this relationship. Mr..
Massey asserted. "Entomologists are
talking of encouraging strips of rag
weed in peach orchards in order to
keep the oriental fruit moth under
control so that we won't have to
pay So bushel for peaches"

tent with sending in his own collec-
ton, has gathered more than 1900
items for Uncle Sans war chest
from his acquaintances and clients.
Gifts of merchandise, as might be
guessed, sometimes create a prob
lem for the Treasury Department.
1t was no trouble at all for the
Treasury to dispose Of the $4,000
racing pigeons sent in by fanciers
throughout the country. The birds
were simply turned over to the
Army and Navy, which took them
for use at the fighting fronts.
Appraisers Help.
But coins. jewelry and similar
items have been. so numerous that
the Treasury has been forced to
call in appraisers to decide how to
use these contributions most ad-
vantageouSly.. Many old coins OF
brass and bronze, having little or
no value as collectors items, have
been melted down to make bullets.
In other cases, it has been more
profitable to sellthe coins and spend
the proceeds.
To each Of the many donors,
whatever the gift, the Treasury De-
partment sends letter, expressing
the Governments appreciation
and pointing out the advantages OF
War stamp and War bond pur-
cf1ases. Group contributions are
entered on the Treasury books as a
single transaction, and a letter of
thanks goes to the individual IN
charge of the collection.
Messages that accompany the
gifts are placed on file with the

Bookkeeping and Warrants, form
