New insecticides to Save
Considerable Grain Damage

A new and safe insecticide mate
rial, which itself can save more
grain from damage by insects than
that needed for the relief of Europe,
now is in production, and insecti-
cides made from it are being made
available to the consumer in guam
tity, says Glenn Haskell, president
of U. S. Industrial Chemicals.
The new insecticide, which can be
used with complete freedom where
food is handled, is known as pyre-
none. After three years of exhaus.
tive tests. it has been found effec.
tive against broad range of insect
life.
The new insecticide is versatile in
it's application, and can be used in
oil sprays, aerosols, emulsions,
dusts or wettable powders. It's non.
toxic nature makes it safe for use
under any circumstances, Haskell
says.
It can be sprayed on the interiors
OF grain bins, where insects have
been taking an annual toll of 300
million bushels of grain in the Unit.
ed States alone, or three times the
100 million bushels needed for the
relief of Europe. 1t can be used
safely on growing foods, feeds OF
animals or anywhere that food is
processed or prepared for human
consumption. 1t has complete safety
in household or garden use, and can
be used directly on animals, with.
out damaging effect to animals or to
meat and dairy products.

Perpetual Motion
Machine Is Hidden
Somewhereinw

SEATTLE Somewhere in the
Northwest today there is machine
which represents a half-million dol
lar investment and half the life OF
Peter Mellow Ivanoff.
Ivanoff worked for 30 years In
his 300 thousand dollar Seattle ma.
chine shop to overcome friction.
But he would have bristled with
indignation if you asked him, "And
how's your perpetual motion ma
chine coming along these days.
Ivanoff?
HE called it a co-motional ma
chine" said Lawrence Wick, disci-
pie of the brilliant Bulgarian, who
died here several years ago.
HE wasn't a failure-he had
something, I'm sure of it," Wick
said.
"You could walk into his shop,
twirling a shaft of multi-geared
gadget. And you couldn't hold the
other end of the shaft with Stillson
wrench"
Offers His Services
Today, Wick offers his 20 years
experience as machinist with Ivan
off to any engineer who is willing
to continue where the Bulgarian left
off.
But it would be much easier If
we could find that machine" he
said.
Ivanoff, having no living rela-
tives, bequeathed his plant and ma
chine to several Vancouver (B. c.
residents who had subsidized his
work with cash gifts.
Wick said he thought the friction
less machine was gathering dust in
some Vancouver warehouse, but the
IA trustees claim the machine is
still in Seattle.
"Ivanoff ignored the outlaws and
chiding of professors who referred
him to basic physical laws when he
began his experiments, Wick said.
Engineer Conducts Test
But finally-after 80 years work
he was ready to unveil his inven-
tion and large electrical company
sent an engineer to conduct tests.
"a battery Of meters was attached
and voluminous notes were taken
Wick said
The last meter was read. I'm
mediately the engineer signed an
affidavit claiming the ma chine free
of friction"
But the engineer was signing his
own dismissal notice. 'The COM
pany fired him on the spot, accus-
ing him of wrongly connecting a
meter" Wick said.
Wick, however, believes the engi-
neer. No one knows what Ivanoff
thought, but shortly afterwarl he
began wasting away. The doctors
said he died of cancer. Wick isn't
so sure.

I III, UH, Daddy could see it com
~ ing again! He had just settled
down to read the evening paper
when Barbara climbed on one knee,
and George Henry took possession
Of the other.
He let the newspaper drop to the
floor. He couldn't read with a pair
of heads in front of his eyes.
''How old am 1, Daddy?" Bar
bara asked.
This was better than Daddy had
hoped for. He was expecting some
thing else. you'll be three next
month";" he told her.
He thought that if he used a lit
tie child psychology he could keep
the children's thoughts on their
ages and birthday parties, instead
of having them think of that other
thing. You're five, George Hen
ry," he said, you'll soon be going
to school,"
George Henry said bluntly, tell
us a story"
Here it was, that other thing that
he could see coming. "Not now."
Daddy groaned, II don't feel like
telling a story"
''The three bears, heh, George
Henry" Barbara chimed in.
They settled back expectantly
in Daddy's arms. Their flannel pa
jamas were soft and warm as his
arms embraced them.
"Once upon a time there was
three BEARS" Barbara prompted.
What could Daddy do? He
shrugged his shoulders hopelessly.
1.-THE three bears lived in cabin
at the edge of a woods"
mo Goldilocks," George Henry
said, tell us about the three bears
and an elephant"
IAN elephant?" Daddy didn't feel
like plotting a new story. 1T will
have to be Goldilocks," he said.
Barbara clapped her little chub-
by hands. "Goody," she cried,
what does the elephant do in the
story, Daddy?"
''But I don't know any elephant
story"
Remember the one you read out
of the book that you wrote?" This
was George Henry trying to refresh
his Daddy's memory.
Daddy tried to think over the
juvenile stories that he had written
and had had published. He couldn't
place an elephant story that had
anything to do with three bears.
mo Daddy, it wasn't in the
book" George Henry suddenly re-
membered, ''you just told it to us."
The easiest thing to do, Daddy
decided, was to make up story,
then rush the children off to bed.
During the day." he continued,
''the sun shone bright on the cabin
and kept the three bears warm" p"
What was the bears names?''
Barbara wanted to know.
There could be no question about
the names. Whether it was bears,
pigs, ducks or rabbits, the names
had to be the same.
lone bears name was Barbara,
another George Henry, and the
third, Sally"
Sally was the children's eight
year-old sister. She had just start
ed to take violin lessons, and Daddy
could hear her in her bedroom try
ing to squeak some notes out of the
G string.
''As was saying, the bears were
kept warm in the daytime by the
hot sun. But at night when the sun
went to sleep, it got very cold, and
the bears had to keep fire in the
hearth of the open fire place."
The telephone bell rang, and as
the children's mother came from
the kitchen to answer it, Daddy re.
ma ined silent. This was a rule in
the nome. No one talked while
someone, else was speaking on the
telephone.

WHAT 1T MEANS;
CORN-HOG RATIO
By ROBERT E. GEIGER
AP NeWsfeatures


WASHINGTON - There is 2
mathematical formula that seldom
fails to produce more meat wher
1t touches the pork point" Tbi.
formula is based on a set of fig.
ures known as the cOrn-hOg ratio
1t produces more pork when the
ratio gets above 12 or 13 to 1.
This ration got down to around
eight to 1. Now it's back to about
IL to 1 and climbing higher toward
that magic 1S to l level. Does this
mean you can let your mouth wa

row or next week or next month?
No, sir, say the experts of the
U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nOmics. Nature just won't cooper
ate that fast. Here's WHY:
To figure the cOrn-hOg ratio YOU
take the price of 100 pounds of
hog and divide it by the price of a
bushel of corn. If it comes out
less than IL to / it is more profit
able, usually, for the farmer to sell
his corn instead of feeding it to
hogs. When it gets around 13 to l
farmers generally start raising
more hogs and feeding them the
corn. They can get more out of the
corn that way.
Department of Agriculture ex-
perts expect corn prices to go
down to around the government
support price. Last year this av-
eraged about $1.S7 a bushel. A big
corn crop is one reason for the
price drop. If the ratio gets around
II to 1 the farmer will breed more
hogs this fall. They will produce a
crop of pigs next spring. But then
the pigs have to grow up and be
fattened on the corn. This means
that probably not until fall of 1949
will there be more pork on the
market.
The big corn crop will permit
farmer to put more fat on the ami
mails they plan to market between
HOW ana next IaIl, but the agri-
cultural experts says the extra
meat this produces probably wont
make pork much fore plentiful The
corn also will be used to fatten
cattle, but it takes longer to in
crease the supply of marketable
beef than it does pork. So the corn
isn't a big factor in producing an
immediate increase in beef
There probably will be a great.
er proportion of choice coTn~fod
beef this winter and next snring
than there might have been If the
corn crop was smaller and maot
prices lower. But there will he
fewer grass-fed cattle marketed CO
the total supply of beef won't no

The number of cattle on farrs ie

be less beef later on. Farmers oan't ~
