eliminate some of the expensive
dormant sprays, and some of the
combination sprays now used dur
ing the growing season to control
both diseases and insects, and use
IN their stead a many-purpose
material such as "Merthon 642."
The material, an organic mer-
curry spray, developed by R. H.
Hurt, associate plant patholigist,
Virginia Experiment Station, will
be a boon to fruit growers if it
lives up to present promises un-
der commercial conditions.
In experimental work, Merth-
on 642, when used at the rate of
IL pint to 100 gallons of spray
along with three to five pounds
of wettable sulfur in the pink,
petal-fall, and early cover appli-
cations, was Every effective"
against apple scab, aphis and red
mites.
Researchers explain that the
advent of red mites and leaf roll
ers as major pests in apple orch
ards has introduced many new
control problems. More complicat
ed spray programs and spray ma
terials are needed Thus, a mater
il such as Merthon 642, which
promises to be effective both as
fungicide and insecticide, would
be very valuable.
Experimental work is being con
tinued on the material.

POTATO PROJECT WINNERS
TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON

Award winners will be an
nounced next month in a Al
Club potato production and mar
keting project which is being
held for the fourth straight year
in Southwest Virginia.
w. A. Turner, assistant state
club boys agent, said that 100
club members from eight counties
are participating. Awards based
ON the number of bushels per
acre of U. S. No. grade potatoes
produced, are donated by the
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co.
1t is hoped, Turner said, that
the program will help the mar
ket position of Southwest Virgin
la Irish potatoes, which in the
past have suffered by being sold
in large part, ungraded in compe
tition with graded potatoes from
other sections. Lack of uniform
ity has been serious handicap
to potato growers in Southwest
counties, he added.
Contestants will grade and mar
ket their own potatoes, with coun
ty agents acting as judges of the
grading. Awards include a choice
of a $500 government saving
bond, $500 VPI scholarship, or
trip to National All Club Con-
gress in Chicago for the grand
prize winner.
There also are $25 savings
bonds and $40 in savings stamps
to be given to first and second
place winners respectively with
in each county.

Danish Unions Move
To Abandon Wf1U
By the Associoied Press

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May
20.-Danish unions. moved today
to follow American, British and
Dutch labor organizations out OF
the World Federation of Trade
Unions. American union leaders
have called the WFTU a Com
munist propaganda agency.
The Executive Board of the 600,-
O0O-member Danish Federation OF
Trade Unions introduced resolu-
ton at the federation's annual
meeting yesterday saying Danish
membership in the world group
ended when major British and
American federations left 1t. thus
causing a split in the organiza-
ton"
The resolution is sure OF ap-
proval, since it is opposed only by
the Communists. who are a small
minority at the congress.
The Danish congress was also
asked to vote authorization for the
Executive Committee to work with
American and British trade union
leaders to set up a new non-Com-
munist world organization.
The Executive Committee in
dicated Swedish and Norwegian
unions probably will take similar
action this summer by saying that
the moves were being made in
intimate cooperation" with the
other Scandinavian organizations.
