Vernon Tondershot spoke to a small but very much interested audience on Saturday Ievening at the Gymnasium on his e7nerience lin 8roadca ing on the I1G7 Pacific 20dio Bro ado ast ing Program. 0r. Eondershot has Isnent 20 years Of his life in the Pacific i-e3ands and speaks several languages and tdial ects. It vas for this reason as we'll las his knowledge Of the peoples Of those f-al ands that be vas asked by the L.. s. Gov Iernmant during the Tor to take char1o Of the Fac if1c area broadcasts.

Benzene Hexachloride
Controls Wire Worms
By o. B. HITCHCOCK
Assistant Stute Entomoloqist

A NEW INSECTICIDE has been
developed that is very effective for
controlling wireworms. This material
is known as benzene hexachloride-
1t should be applied to the soil
about two weeks before planting
time. 1t is important to wait at least
two weeks after application before
putting in your crop, as the benzene
hexachloride may be harmful to
plant growth. 1t should be applied
at the rate of 10 pounds of benzene
hexachloride per acre and the ben
zene hexach1oride should contain 8
percent gamma isomer.
The best method of applying this
material is with a fertilizer drill.
IF you wish to put on fertilizer at
the same time, mix the two ma
terials thoroughly and apply them
together. If you do not have a drill
suitable for applying the benzene
hexachloride, it may be broadcast
by hand and then mixed thoroughly
with the soil by discing.
Disc Into Soil
Regardless of how the insecticide
is applied, it is necessary to work it
into the soil well by going I'VE the
field several times with a good disc.
Benzene hexachloride has an ex-
treme musty odor which is absorbed
by a number of root and tuber
crops, making them unfit for con-
sumption. If benzene hexach1oride
is used, the following crops should
not be planted on the treated soil
for at least one year: Potatoes, table
beets, carrots and turnips.
Some of the crops that can be
grown safely after soil treatment
are small grains, hay crops, sugar
beets, onions, radishes, cabbage and
lettuce. 1t is very important not to
plant susceptible crops in benzene
hexachloride treated soil, as these
crops will be a total loss.
just on Market
Benzene hexachloride is a fairly
new insecticide and in many areas
insecticide dealers are just receiving
their first supply of it. If a local in
secticide dealer does not have it, he
can obtain it by contracting dealer.
in the larger towns.
The advantages that benzene hex
achloride has over other insecticidei
that have been used for wireworn
control is that it is more effective
than any other material that w,
have had, and the benzene hexa
chloride residual in the soil will re
main effective and continue to Civ,
kills of wireworm for approximate,
n year.

Soil Blowing Indicates
Need for Controls

By TORL1EF AASHEIM
Project Supervisor. Research Division.
Soil Conservation Service
SEVERAL days of high winds this
spring caused severe soil blowing
on many summer fallowed fields In
the Triangle area of Montana. Dust
clouds and borrow pits filled with
soil have made it quite evident that
more intensive control measures
than those now being generally
practiced are necessary if wind ero-
sion is to be kept under control.
Blocks Drift Most
Observations made during and
after the storms showed that finely
~pulverized black top fallow in blocks
drifted the most. Strip cropping
seemed to be the most effective
single practice, but it alone did not
prevent considerable drifting on
many fields. On heavier soil types
where a cloddy or stubble mulch
had been maintained ON strip fallow
there was little soil movement.
On the lighter soils narrow strips
and stubble mulch were required
for effective control. Fields stripped
north and south had less wind ero-
sion than fields stripped east and
west. Severe winds this spring. as
is usually the case, were either from
an easterly or westerly direction.
Control Measures
Conditions which prevailed during
March and April of 1948 re-empha-
sized that wind erosion may again
become a severe problem in this
area. Practices which will help min
imize the hazard are strip cropping,
stubb1e and cloddy mulching and
retiring especially susceptible areas
to grass.
Strip cropping is most effective al
right angles to prevailing winds
the width of strips necessary varies
with the susceptibility of the land
to erosion. On heavier soils, STRIP
cropped fa1low needs to be titled sc
as to maintain either a cloddy OF
stubb1e mulch or both. On Lighter
soils where clods are difficult tt
form and maintain, a stubble mulch
type of tillage should be used.
Very susceptible blow soils tina
are difficult to maintain under an.
sort of tilage or strip cropping prac
tice should be retired to creste'
wheat or other suitable grasses.

MethaeLahS Life
Had Longest Span

Methuselah, the Hebrew patriarch
who lived 969 years, has become
synonymous with Father Time be-
cause he lived longer than any other
man in recorded history.
Notwithstanding Methuselah's di-
rect descent from Seth--the third
son of Adam and Eve, born after
Cain had slain Abel--and the fact
that he was the grandfather of Noah,
1t has been said longevity is Methu-
selah's only claim to history's COM
memoration; and even this claim
seems to hang by slender thread,
considering that longevity was the
rule rather than the exception among
the patriarchs.
The fifth chapter of Genesis re-
cords that Adam lived a total of $50
years; Seth reached the age of 912,
and Enos-the son of Seth-died at
905. Cainen lived 9l0 years, Mahala-
leel attained the age sof 895, and
Jared-grandfather of Methuselah
lived 962 years, only seven years
less than his grandson's record.
Enoch, Methuselah's father, seems
to have been the exception to the
rule-since he died at the age of 365.

Allen countv,s 1919 fair will be
held at the Lima showgrounds ada
cent to Bellefontaine avenue and
Kibby street in Lima, it was de-
cided last week at the December
meeting of the Allen County Agri-
cultural society.
Nine members voted for the pro-
posal to move site of the fair
from Delphos to Lima, two members
opposed the transfer, and two blank
ballots were cast. The other six
members Of the board were absent.
The Allen county fair annually is
held the last full week of August.
If these dates are open at the Parks
showgrounds, it is likely the 1949
