On the West Coast, where. 27.000

for 81 days. there was some doubt
that there would be compelte mari

Doubt was caused by demands by
Harry Lundberg's AFL Sailors Un-

among the striking unions, but
whose members were made idle by
the tieup.

anything so far as we are con-

with a degree of fexibility which
facilitates their use in all types

Guiding dusts, sprays, wettable

Farmers will find in these new
insecticides a better solution for
many of their insect control prob

fitness, in grain and animal pro-
lection, have such an immedi-
ate economic and political i'm
portance, not only to the farmer
but to the country as a whole,
as to require special attention.
Well-deserved emphasis is be-
ing placed on the enormous pre-
ventable loss of grain, feeds and
cereal foods through insect dam
age. Production losses Of meat
and dairy products from failure
to protect animals from insect
pests are equally heavy and pre-
ventable.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Develop-
ment of new insecticide materials
which have a special interest to
farmers because of their COM
plete lack of toxicity to man and
animals, making them the only
materials suitable for certain vi
tally important farm needs, has
been announced by u. S. Indus
trial Chemicals, Inc. Insecticides
made from them are rapidly be-
coming available through the US
ual marketing channels.
The effectiveness of insecticides
made from these new materials
not only makes possible improve
mept of present farm practices
but likewise permits their use in
new and important fields Of in
sect control heretofore untouched
because no products have been
available which combined safety,
effectiveness and economy to a
practical extent.
The two new chemicals, piper
onyl butoxide and %piperonyl cy-
clonene, have no appreciable tox-
ic hazards. Their effectiveness is
enormously increased by their
use in combination with the
equally safe pyrethrum and the
