Use DOT To Kill
Insect Pests
OF Poultry

/ Control of lice, flies, cock
!. reaches, and several other insect
In poultry laying houses, broodel
houses, and incubating rooms Il
made much easier by use of DOT
with little danger to the birds
themselves, or TO the eggs used as
food. reported Prof. George d
Quigley Of the University OF
Maryland, agricultural experimen,
citation on the basis Of research
tests.
Red mites, which draw blood
from the chickens at night, as do
lice, are one major insect pest of
chickens which are not controlled
by DOT, he advised, so carboli-
reum or other oils must still be
rsed on roosts to control this pest,
iIsA dust of DOT is effective in
lkaiAg body lice on the birds, said
lQnigley, either by the pinch
method of applying dust to each
Bird or by a simpler busting of
The birds on the roosts at night.
A. dust containing either 2 per
cent 10 per cent or 20 percent
dot killed all lice on the birds
within 4S hours, and kept the
Lindsifree Of lice 80 days after
yerd.l The easiest way to kill lice,
however, n to dust the birds at
right with 90 percent DOT, in
two. applications two weeks apart.
Tests, showed no damage to the
birds themselves.
Chiggers and bedbugs which
have been difficult to control by
any other means in battery plants
or in poultry houses, are easily
destroyed by 8 percent DOT in
water, or 20 percent DOT in dust.
Flies in poultry houses can be
controlled by spraying of busting
Of the walls, floors, ceilings, hop
rers, and other equipment. Eating
flies killed by DOT apparently did
10 harm to the chickens through
DOT absorbed. Both flies and
ccckroaches around hatcheries can
be controlled by DOT. Treatment
of the shells Of Matching eggs, as
well as busting floors and pre-.
misses, had no harmful effect or
tatchability Of egg or on quality
Of chicks. Prof. Quigley warned
that DOT should not be used il
the hen house where it is apt t.
directly touch shells Of eggs to b,
used for food.
Follow directions carefully il
use of DOT on the poultry farm
he concluded, and use a dust o.
water solution of DOT, not an OF
mixture.

An interest-free federal loan of
$4,000 has been approved to permit

tions for Bluffton's oft-deferred sew
age disposal system, clearing the

The loan is being made by the
Federal Works Agency in two parts,
$4,000 allotment covering engineer
ing and preparation of plans and
specifications for system of inter
eepting sewers bordering Big and
Little Riley creeks, and $4,000 for
engineering of a disposal plant.
In the project proposed to the
federal agency, Bluffton's intercept
ing sewers and disposal plant would
cost approximately $250,000. En-
| gineering costs would be six and
one-half per cent of the total
amount spent on the project, cost of
plans and specifications represents
3.8 per cent of all engineering ex-
penditures.
Drafting of final plans and speci-
ications for the system has been
started by the Toledo engineering
firm of Finkbeiner, Pettis and Strout,
which has been working with Bluff
ton officials on sewage disposal
problems since the early thirties.

MUNICIPAL PLANT
TO ADVANCE LIGHT
AND WATER RATES
Board of Public Affairs to Sub
nit New Schedule to- Town
Council
New Rates Effective Next
Month to beSPayabse at
January Billing

Buttons board of public affairs
will submit to the town council next
Monday night recommendations for
higher rates for electric light and
water service from the municipal
plant together with proposal for
raises in pay for employees at the
plant.
This was stated following special
meeting of the board of public af-
fairs Tuesday when rates for service
and salary schedules were overhaul
ed. The action, it is said was made
necessary by general advances in
the cost and other operating items.
While the board has authority to
change rates for service without
council approval, members said they
would submit the proposal to the
council before finally adopting them
Changes in employees pay, however,
must obtain council approval before
becoming effective
Effective Next Month
The new schedule, it is under
stood will provide for increases in
current rates from 10 to Is per cent,
effective December l and will be
payable at the January ! billing.
The new water rates will change
the quarterly minimum charge to
$3.50 for 1000 cubic feet. Present
rate is $2.25 for 1900 cubic feet.
Following action by the council
Monday night the board at its
regular meeting next Tuesday night
will formally adopt the new rate
schedule. Sf
Board members indicated that the
present action is in the nature of an
emergency and further adjustment
of rates to eliminate any inequalities
is possible when more exhaustive
study of the entire rate structure
will be made. However, with sharp
1y increased costs cutting into the
revenues of the plant, some inn
mediate action is necessary, they said.

Coal For 80 Days Operation
AS Strike Continues

Bluffton's second 1916 emergenc,
declaration of brownout, similar tc
those of war days, viii become eff.
fective here this Wednesday because
of the critical national shortage oi
coal resulting from another strike OF
the United Mine Workers.
Beginning Wednesday, streets OF
the town will be darkened by lighting
only every other street light; anc
merchants have been rquested to as
sist in conserving electrical current
by turning out their signs ano
lights in their display windows.
Bluffton's new Carma theatre
darkened its brilliantly lighted
marquee on Monday, following an.
nouncement of the nationwide
brownout program, and previous to
the time official notice was received
Tuesday afternoon by the board OF
public affairs.
30-Days Coal Supply
Officials said that Buttons muni-
cipal light plant has only a S0-days
supply of coal, and reduction of
street lighting will help conserve the
Estockpile, saving as much as one
ton of coal per week.
Bluffton college reported that it
has only enough fuel for from 10
days to two weeks, and unless ship
ments are released to the institution
by the government the schools heat
ing plant will soon have to shut
down.
/ Button grade and high schools
have coal in sufficient quantities to
continue operations until the Christ
mas holidays, but heating of the
gymnasium may be curtailed to con-
serve the coal on hand, school
authorities said.
Bluffton's major industrial user OF
coal, the generating plant of the
Central Ohio Light and Power Co.,
which uses about four carloads of
coal a day, has 40-days supply on
hand.
Bluffton's domestic coal situation
appears favorable, with most resi-
dents reporting enough fuel in their
bins to carry them thru the early
part of the winter. All local dealers
have coal in their yards, but under
government orders, deliveries are
being made only to those who certify
they have less than a 10-days
supply on hand.
