to no less advantage. Early in the

Army Helicopter Rescues Stranded Alaska Trapper

WASHINGTON, CP)-The first rescue by helicopter in the far north, in which a marooned Alas kan trapper was plucked out of a tough situation, was reported to- day by the army air forces.
 A 'copter piloted by lst It. Charles O. Weir of Bloomington, Ind, member of the 10th rescue squadron, flew recently to the in- terior of Alaska to bring out George Plucinski, who due to a series of misadventures, had been living on diet of berries and small animals for two weeks.
 The trapper had been flown to point near Bettles, l85 miles northwest of Fairbanks by a civil ian pilot. Arrangements were made to re-supply him with food dropped from the air, but animals got to the food first and when he arrived at the spot it was gone.
 He was to have been picked up by float plane, but low water conditions prevented that.
 He then fashioned crude sign, Get Army" as a call for help. A civilian pilot saw it, notified the rescue squadron and the helicop- ter was dispatched from Ladd Field at Fairbanks.
 Wier located the trapper despite Oncoming darkness and rain squalls, landed his R-5 helicopter on a sand bar and then took off with his passenger.
 Army hlicopters have been used at several other spots in the world for rescue work, but this was the first Arctic case.

U. s. Dollar
 Shrinking From Price Advances

CHICAGO, H., -CPy-Amer- ica's shrinking food dollar was being dragged through the wiring CT again today by a somewhat general advance in staple com modity prices.
 Except for reduction of five cents a pound retail for marger- inc in New York, the general trend was upward in the faster moving race for economic adjust ment.
 For the fourth consecutive day the Associated Press index of 35 wholesale commodities reached another new all-time high yes terday at l92.26, compared with the 1926 base year of 100.
 Included in the continued ad- VanceS were meat, coffee, butter talloW, eggs and corn. More over, the whole dairy outlook was far from a pretty picture as des- cribed by Russell Fifer, executive secretary of the American Butter Institute.
 The dairy industry, Fifer said, is going into the winter with an exceptionally low supply of but ter and cream in storage and with two percent less milk cows than a year ago. Since the peak milk production in l944, he added, the number of milk COWS has dropped seven per cent while consumer population since the start of the war has increased l0O00,OO0, many of them now lin heavy milk drinking ages"
 Butter climbed another cent a pound on the New York and Chi cago mercantile exchanges Mon day to open new peaks for the year. Eggs advanced to 60 cents dozen wholesale here, and DOT terhouse steak hit $lOO pound

Weather Still
 Warm In States
CBy the Associated PreSs)

Warm and humid weather over spread much of the eastern half of the nation today although scat tered thundershoWers brought a measure of coolness to some local ities.
 Temperatures in the high eigh- ties were general from the Great Plains eastward to the Atlantic seaboard. Showers dotted numer- ous points within that area, the Chicago weather bureau said.
 The Rockies also had showers and cool weather continued in the Pacific Northwest.
 Among the heavier amount of rain recorded were 4.60 inches at Jacks Creek, Tenn, LA inches at Bimidji, Minn.. and l.l7 inches at Evansville, Ind. The readings were for the "A hours ending this morn ing.
 The doWnpour was so heavy in Hibbing, Minn., that storm sewers packed up, flooding dwellings and marooning motorists in their auto mobiles. Railroad ore trains were stopped by track WaShouts. The six-hour rain was accompanied by violent lightning.
 The highest official tempera- ture in the nation yesterday was 102 degrees at Clinton, Mo.

Many Killed In Ship Explosion, Fire AtPittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, (P) - Bremen today resumed a grim search among the blackened embers of the once proud steamer Island Queen" for victims of the explo- siOn-fire whose toll of dead and missing is counted at 21.
 Thirteen of the IT persons in- jured in the blast which rocked Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle" yesterday were still under treat ment in hospitals.
 Efforts to recover the bodies were tempered with caution as the charred hulk of the five-deck steamer sank deeper into the mud died waters of her Monongahela river berth.
 Once, firemen were ordered from the boat because the hull was shifting and threatened to break sideways as it slipped into deeper water. Only the top deck was still visible and it was re- lieved many of the victims would remain locked in the rivers bot tom.
 Bremen expressed belief the hull would have to be raised be- fore all the bodies could be recov- cred. River patrolman Louis Mor- gan announced he would drag the river today for bodies, while county officials and the coast guard start investigations.

Alaska Nearing Great Development Says Vim. Warne

 elopment," with its opportunities for settlement by sturdy people, William E. Warne, assistant sec retary of the interior, said today.
 Warne is just back from a four week airplane trip to all sections of the Territory.
 Tt it the most challenging thing l have seen,' he told a reporter. Alaska needs people, but it must be determined people who are willing to undergo hardships to build their homes in our l a s frontier"
 Warne said that the pressing needs of the Territory now are housing and transportation, and predicted that air travellers will help the settlement.
 He said that the land from the kenai Peninsula to Fairbanks af- lords an opportunity for home stealing Ol ldTInS.
 Alaska today is the crossroads to the Orient and to the northern trade routes," he said. Tt is a pioneer country with the air plane replacing the pony express and the covered wagon. "The airplane is the principal means of communication and I believe always will be.
 There is opportunity for min ing development and trade in raw materials but Alaska needs to lick it's transportation problem and needs railroad extensions and highways.
 "I hope that such a program of development can be worked out prior to the coming of the needed inhabitants and break the viscious circle which insists that the in- habitants must be there before the developments can be made.
 "The improvements would open the way for an influx of new population"
 He found the housing situation in the Territory more acute than in any other place he knew of in the nation, Warne said. He related that the interior depart ment had obtained many build ings from abandoned army posts for use as housing but that they are not nearly enough to meet the needs.
 "The winters are severe in Al aska," he said. You can't camp ! out there"
 The assistant secretary said that | around Anchorage about 5OOl homes are being built by per sons who expect to occupy them but they are facing a shortage of materials. He said Alaskant builders are trying to use native and still cannot get enough.
 The fishing industry and the big game of the Territory need closer supervision, Warne said, with the department regulations more effectively enforced. He said the department does not have funds at present for this.
 Alaska contains our last big game and it must be closely sup ervised if it is to be preserved" he said. "If big game is not nn. oocil,, Io ,.,,.>o.l

against those that cause damage
by chewing.
White suggests they may be
used against such common pests
as aphids, beetles, including bean,
squash and cucumber beetles,
and lice.
He recommends using them in
dust form. Rotenone dust, espe-
cially, stays longer on the plants
than rotenone spray.
He also suggests that purchas-
ers check the rotenone and
pyrethrum packages to be sure
they contain at least three
fourths of one percent (.75 per-
cent? of rotenone or 3 percent of
pyrethrum. No less than that is
effective against many pests.
Rotcnone, he says, is particu-
larly effective against the Next
can bean beetle, cucumber beetles
and cabbage and broccoli worms.
1t also kills some aphids and
plant lice.
Nicotine also is an aphid killer.
AS for DOT, now available to
the home gardener, White sug-
gests it is good for killing potato
insects and cabbage worms; the
tomato fruit worm and Japanese
beetles. But it should not be used
on cabbage plants after the heads
begin to form.
It also kills insects that attack
rose plants and may be used with
sulphur to discourage black spot.
Another new compound is be-
ing given a trial in greenhouses
and infields and may be offered
the public later.
1t is hexaethyl tetraphosphate,
nicknamed "het'. In preliminary
tests it has proved to be a phe-
nomenal killer of aphids in green
houses.
The weed killer, 2,4-D, may
save back-breaking work with a
hoe. But the experts warn anna
teur gardeners it cannot be used
in vegetable and flower gardens.

There also are scientific John
nies-come-lately, like DOT, the
super killer that got its big test
in the war as slayer of disease
carrying insects. Now the gar
dener may use it as a supplement
for the two fundamental insecti-
cides, rotenone and pyrethrum.
w. H. White, chief of the di-
vision of truck crop and garden
insect investigations for the us.
Department of Agriculture, rec
ommends that home gardeners
discard arsenical poisons entirely.
He believes the arsenicals are
too poisonous to use on food
plants when rotenone and pyre-
thrum are available. And these
two bug killers are expected to
be in good supply this season.
In addition to these two poi
sons, White suggests home gard
eners will forestall damage to
their gardens if they. broadcast
poison bait to kill cutworms be-
fore the plants appear or are set
out.
Poison bait may be purchased
in most seed stores, ready-pre-
pared.
Cutworm Collars
It should be used especially
near tomato and cabbage plants.
White says cutworms are almost
sure to attack these vegetables if
bait isn't used. An alternative is
to place cardboard or metal "col-
lars" around the young plants.
Otherwise, he believes, insect
control should be delayed until
pests appear.
Gardeners, he says, should
keep a careful check on their
plants and at the first sign of the
presence of harmful insects steps
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1947-04-24

should be taken to kill them off.
Otherwise the job becomes a Sc
rious one.
In general, he says, pyrethrum
is effective against insects that
damage plants by sucking their
juices. RotenOne is effective
