CONTROL OF ANTS

CONx1OL Oe AMID
With ants crawling into their
homes or damaging their gardens
and lawns annoyed Washington
householders want to know how to
destroy the pests. A number OF
letters from different persons
complaining about ants have been
received by David H. Brannon,
Washington Extension entomolo-
gist, who gives the following tips
concerning the habits and control
Of these insects.
Ants, on the whole, are benefi-
cial insects, says Brannon. A few
species, however, make themselves
nuisances by invading dwellings
in search of sweet or fatty sub
stances. The insects sometimes
damage flower and vegetable
plants or trees, or may shepherd
plant-sucking aphis.
In order to do the job right in
controlling these harmful species
the queen should be tracked down
and destroyed, for she is very pro-
llfic. She may be located by fol-
lowing the trail of the workers
back to the point of their disap-
pearance.
If the worker ants are proceed
ing from a crack in the cement in
the driveway, from the bricks Of a
wall or from similar place, pour
one or two tablespoons of carbon
disulfide, kerosene or gasolene
down the crack and repeat the act
every "a hours if necessary. These
materials are all inflammable and
precautions must be taken to see
that there is no fire in any form
where they are used.
If the nest is in the soil Of the
lawn or garden as indicated by
the characteristic ant hills, punch
holes about foot apart and to a
lepth of two to six inches over the
area and pour in each hole two or
three tablespoons of carbon di-
sulfide. Then close the holes by
pushing the soil together. Be sure
to place the liquid below the roots
of the grass or plants as carbon
disulfide is harmful to vegetation.
If the nest cannot be located,
poison bats are recommended for
use in killing the queens and the
brood. A sweetened poison con-
tanning sodium arsenite, benzoate
of soda and tartaric acid is an eff
fective bait. Sometimes ants re-
fuse to take sweetened bait and
it is necessary to use substitute,
the basis of which is grease.
Where grease bait is required,
paper smeared with rancid lard
may be lightly busted with sodium
arsenite and small squares of this
bait placed in locations where ants
abound.
Since most of the poisons used
in controlling ants are deadly to
other creatures as well, they must
be kept away from chillren and
domestic animals, says Brannon.

County Agents
Column

A couple of very interesting
meetings were held with the mint
growers Of Benton and Franklin
counties last week. AS a conse-
quence, it was thought that it
would be necessary for more re-
search to be done in this area on
the problems of the mint growers.
On Monday evening, June II, DR..
st. John, chemist at the State Col
lege, discussed the chemical tests
and on Wednesday evening A. L.
Kalish, chief Of Division Of Essen
tial Oils, War Food Administra-
ton, discussed possibilities Of mar
keting. A. committee Of growers,
working with the County Agent,
is being set up to study the pro-
gram to follow.

MORMON cRIcKETS

MORMON CHICKETS
An outbreak of Mormon crickets
in Franklin county has kept the
County Agent busy for the past
few days. Preparations are all
made and spreading of poisoned
bait is being done on about 10000
acres of farm and range land in
the Mesa Ringold area. This is
being handled by the county and
the Federal Bureau of Entomolo-
gy. A large power mixer and
spreaders are being used. The
mixer, very ingenious device,
can mix many tons of bait in a
short time.

came to close Friday afternoon
after a spirited discussion session.
On Saturday group of ladies
-"older girls" enjoyed a picnic in
the city park. Luncheon and ball
playing and just resting was en-
joyed. The purpose of this get
ting together is for the benefit
of the ladies who do not get out
much or for those who would
like the enjoyment of ."crony".
The women are very enthusiastic
about the Saturday picnics, so if
Grannie would like to join us some
Saturday have her call the USO
director in Kennewick and get all

KILL WEEDS

KILL WEEDS
Get after the weeds early, says
Washington Extension Service.
Start destroying them almost be-
fore you can see them. Just stir
ring the soil slightly where weed
seed is terminating will kill It.
But If you let the weeds get a
week or more growth it will take
a hoe to cut them off:
Wedding and cultivating should
follow every rain when the soil
moisture is right. A new crop Of
weeds is coming along at that
time. If rains are infreQuent, then
perhaps it will be necessary to
weed one or more times between
rains.
Progress is being made in the
chemical control Of weeds. Some
new weed chemicals have selec-
tive action but more work is nee
essary to make their use practical
in the vegetable garden.
; Often more can be done In con-
troll of weeds the year previous,
or by preventative measures. Fall
blowing and following the ground
the precious summer goes q. long
way in reducing weeds. Also US
ing well-rotted manure instead Of
fresh manure lessons the weed
growth.
The Extension Serice has q pub
LEGATION called 'Weeders Digest -
Washington Extension Bulletin
244, which will help one identify
the more difficult weeds and it
suggests control measures.

 INVENTOR
 REVEALED
Army Has Fuse Which Knows When She'll Close
 10 Target, then ExpIodes

WASHINGTON, Sept. g The wars second most startling inven- tion is a fuse which knows when a shell is close enough to the target to explode effectively.
 It cost the Navy S800,0O0,0o0 to develop. But the radio proximity fuse" works so well that two de- stroyers once shot down 35 enemy planes in 30 minutes and anti aircraft gunners got 68 out of 72 buzz bombs bound for London.
 Fl. Strueve Hensel Assistant Sec retary of the Navy, ranks it next to the atomic bomb as scientific war development.
 Elaborating at a news conference, Hensel said the fuse contained a fve-tube radio set so sturdy it can stand being fired from gun. The set sends out electromagnetic waves. The waves reflect off the target back to the set. When the time interval shows the shell is within 70 feet, the deflected inn pulses trip a switch and an elec- trical detonator sets off the ex- plosive charge.

HAND0F RUSSIA
 SHOWN
Big Five Cancels Meetings Today as Soviet
 Plan Revealed

LONDON, Sept. 22-Foreign Min jsters of the Big Five cancelled at the last minute today their scheduled morning meeting. Simultaneously British official expressed deep concern over the disclosure of a Russian trade pact which, in the British view, would give Moscow control over half of Hungary's econ- omy.
 Today's meeting had been sche- duled to take up the Hungarian peace treaty. No official explan- ation was given for the cancella- tion. It appeared the Ministers would not meet until Monday
 Americans at the council meeting apparently shared Britain's interest in the Hungarian trade treaty. Off, cial British sources declared the pact was considered another step in what appears to be Soviet campaign to hold a tight rein over the econ- omics as well as the political life of all eastern Europe.
 The agreement, which has beer initialed and awaits Budapest's rati- fication, is said to propose pounding Soviet Hungarian combines for the development of steel, oil and other industries. Also said to be included are shipping on the Danube ano Tisza Rivers, airlines, trucks ano other motor traffic and a joint bank to finance mutual trade.
 The British are consulting Wash ington on the development.
 No Russian comment is available
 Earlier, reliable sourse said that Soviet Foreign Commissar MotoloI had protested that the Councils communiques had been too detailed and that too much information hac leaked out of closed sessions.

City 10 Start Dock Repairs Council Approves ,.
 TidefIats Fill

Juneaus City Councilmen closed out their meeting last evening by turning back again to their favor ite topic-appraisal of public utili- ties.
 Councilman Harry Lea brushed the dust off by pointing out flaws in the city's contract with the Kansas City Engineering Firm of Black and Veatch, which S now engaged in making the appraisal here.
 Asking if the City Attorney had been consulted on the contract, Lea declared his feeling that the city is leaving itself wide open" Mayor Ernest Parsons assured the coun- cilmen that the City Attorney had put his approval on the contract entered into.
 The pivotal question asked by Councilman Lea was What assur- ance has the city that the ap- praisal will be completed once the slG0oO appropriation is expended?
 The mayor replied that he was sure Black and Veatch are carry ing on all rght. Anyway, there's not much that can be done about it now.
 He added that w. Ross Camp bell, Black and Veatch engineer now going over the properties here, expects to have his physical in- vestigations in Juneau completed by the first of the month. He de- clared that the first monthly state ment submitted by the appraisers had not been too high.
 High Valuation Bug-a-DoO
 Councilman Lea then brought up the bug-a-boo that the appraised values might considerably exceed the asking price of the utilities companies He moved that Black and Veatch shall not reveal their appraised valuations until after such time as the Alaska Electric Light & Power Company and the water companies shall have dis closed their offering prices.
 The mayor replied that such is already the understanding, and read from the mnutes to show that there is already record to that effect. He pointed out that such a motion, if carried, would tie the city's hands if any of the utility firms should undertake to stall.
 Refusing, however, to consider amending his motion to provide that the appraisal figures be with held till such time as the council asks for them, Councilman Lea

SHOTGUN SHELLS. TO BE SHORT 10 FIRE Al DUCKS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Shot- gun shells will continue in short supply until after the peak Of the hunting season this fall.
 Manufacturers are making shells in increased volume because of greater lead allotments, but can't get them to market in time to fire at this years ducks.
 But by December l, War Pro duction Board official predicted to- day, supplies will be approaching normal Current supplies are only about half normal requirements.
 The agency saw only a ''possi- bility'' of easing in late fall the present limitation of eight boxes of ammunition to a hunter. Farmers, ranchers and trappers can get SUD- elementary amounts.
