foot or less in depth. In that
case the sprayer should don
boots and treat all shallow areas
Of the pool. Weeds along the ed
&c of the pool should also be
sprayed.
If desired, wettable DOT pow
der mixed with water can be
used in power sprayers which
have an 'agitator.
Mosquitoes on the wing can be
controlled by applications of DOT.
A residual type spray should be
used, preferably the 50 percent
wettable DOT powder in water.
The spray should be applied
around buildings, woodland and
grass areas, and spots popular
with these pests. About 4 pounds
of powder to Is gallons of water
is suggested. In general, the
stronger the solution, the longer
the residual effect.
CAUTION: DOT should not be
sprayed over foods or utensils
used for preparing foods. It
should not be applied in excess
over grass or fodder that is eat
en- by livestock. A particular eau
ton is necessary when airplanes
are spraying near rivers or ponds
containing fish since they are
susceptible to DOT poisoning.
People who must venture into
mosquito-infested areas were adj
vised by Brannon to take advan-
tage Of the repellents developed
during the last few years. The re-
pellents will give several hours
protection. Some Of these chemi-
Gals are now commercially avail
able, and among the best known
| ones are Rutgers 612, Indalone,
dimethyl phthalate, and dimethyl
carbate.

fiomologisi Urges Prompt Attack
On Breeding Places Of Mosquitoes

SWarmS of mosquitoes are a
possible aftermath Of receding
floods unless such breeding places
as stagnant water and temporary
ponds receive prompt attention,
David Brannon, WSC's extension
entomologist, warned today.
"a Urging individual and commun-
ity action to control post-flood
pests, Brannon said that water
standing longer than 10 days to
2 weeks provides an ideal base
for mosquito infestation.
Mosquitoes can be controlled
during two periods Of their de-
velopment, the larval and adult
stages, Brannon explained. Eas-
lest and cheapest control stage,
he said. Is during the larval or
wiggler period while the pests
are concentrated in definite
area.
First step in controlling wig
glers Is to get rid Of breeding
places by removing stagnant wat
er. This can be done by ditching,
dilking. filling. leveling, and so
forth. Such containers as cans,
buckets, tire castings, and the like
should also be drained or emp
tied.
Where elimination Of standing
Is impossible, chemical
Control Of wigglers by treating
the water is the next step. Spray
ing by airplane is recommended
for large areas. Two quarts Of S
percent DOT in diesel oil should
be used per water acre. For small
areas which can be treated by a
hand sprayer, use 10 quarts Of a
one percent DDT-diesel oil solu-
ton per acre Of water surface.
The spray is necessary only

Hawn's Court

The rugged fndividualists still
remaining in Hawn's Trailer
Court on the River road, are
learning how to take it, and
what the word pioneering"
means.
MIR. and Mrs. Hawn and their
tenants, were without a road to
travel on, except for the right
way, covered with at least three
feet of river water and debris,
without electricity, radio, phone,
or drinking water. At the same
time experiencing a near cloud
burst and terrific wind storm of
near gale velocity.
The few men left in camp,
have been building their own
avenue of escape, up through a
grape vineyard and cherry or

tracks.

The cheerfulness and optimis-
tic views of this entire group de-
picts an early return to normally.
Saturday morning the waters
were still rising and finally reach
ed the all time peak. Sunday,
with hopeful hearts, we watched
our prediction become a reality.
The river was slowly, but sure
ly receding, after seventeen days
and nights Of tense watching and
waiting,
About the time our marrooned
court was patiently watching our
high water marker, to see if the
Mighty Columbia" dared come
higher, we witnessed the daring
rescue of the three men, who had
floated down the river, from
Richland on two intertubes and
clinging to their capsized out
board boat.
Due to the changing currents
floating logs, and driftwood from
unknown beaches, are still lodg-
ing and collecting in the yards
and on the highway along the
river road.
Many varities Of river fish, |
have been caught by the men,
wading in the yard in hip boots.
