LOCAL GIRLS TEAM
WINS HANDILY
OVER pal" TEAM

The local girls team, known
as the Gay Sisters won all
their games, volleyball and
softball, over the visiting
pal" team of st. Thomas,
which defeated them in a pre-
vious game. The Gay Sis
tiers won to the tune of 26-14.
Among home run hitters for
the local girls were: Kathleen
Lewis, Dolores Davis & Elisa
McGregor. Always tops in Vol
ley ball, which they won in
ST. Thomas against the "PAL"
the girls attached little impor-
lance to that victory; but their
defeat in st. Thomas in soft
ball stung them, since they at
that time felt it was a lack of
knowledge of certain rules.
They got together, after their
return home, determined to
correct their weaknesses. A re
turn game on the A home
ground is now the hope of the
local girls.

Observers Believe
ChrYsler- Union
Agreement Neur

Observers Of the eighty
three day old Chrysler strike
believe that agreement is near
Although Go workers reject
ed what Chrysler management
termed its final offer in the
pension dispute there is still
optimism.
It was pointed out that none
of the six objections listed by
the Union were vital. They
also said it seemed probable
that Chrysler would revise
parts of its proposal to get a
settlement.
One thing that is noted, is
that both sides are closer than
at any time since the workers
left their jobs on January Is.
Auto Workers president Wal
ter Reuther stated yesterday
that at this stage he was glad
that Chrys1er has finally
agreed to provide pension for

The means of financing 100

 U. s. Marines captured the capitol building and the Rus si2n and French consulates near the heart of the city and raised the American flag over them.

Madsen's Boat Gutted By Fire

The Kodiak Bear III, Char les Madsen's 98 foot boat, was swept by fire Thursday night as it lay alongside the Alvine and Gibson drydock. Damage to the finely-ftted vessel was estimated at a. round $35, 1000 or $4O,000 by Madsen.
 The fire is believed to have started from a cigarette that was dropped on a mattress in one of the cabins in the crew quarters, aft and below the wheelhouse.
 Criska "Crisco' Nicoli, of Karluk, packer for Madsen's hunting parties, ran bare footed from the boat to Blinn's Bar to sound the fire alarm.
 Both fire trucks answered the alarm and firemen ex- perienced difficulty getting to the blazing boat because of the temporary wooden walk approach to the drydock.
 The fire apparently reached it's height in the companion way and swirled up and over the wheelhouse, galley, dining salon and lounge. The engine and engine room were not damaged by the fire.
 The interior of the boat was finished in hardwood and ma hogany and had many rugs, drapes and two Wilson Err skine paintings.
 Madsen had returned with a hunting party earlier in the day and had paid off his crew, he said yesterday.
 The Kodiak Bear was built in 1880 at the cost of $183, 900 at Tacoma, Wash., and was formerly named the Principia.
 The boat was fully covered by insurance. An investigation of the fire and events leading up to it is being made.
 Nicoli was the only person aboard the boat at the start of the fire, Madsen said.

New Chemical Found
To Kill Quuckgrdss
In Formers Fields

TCA-a new chemical weed
killer-offerS the best means for
eliminating small patches of
quackgrass in farm fields, says
DR.. C. j. Willard, professor of
agronomy at Ohio State Univer-
sity.
Trichloroacetic acid, commonly
called TEA, has given satisfac-
tory results in killing quack-
.gras in Ohio since 1919 Although
%there is, still much .fosBe learned
about its use, DR.. Willard believes
many farmers may be Interested
in trying it this year. '"'
He says blowing the quack-
grass and working the sod down
as for seeding and then applying
the TEA to the soil is the best
method to use. This procedure
has given near complete eradica-
ton from approximately so
pounds per ere of the CONNER
cially available TEA sodium salt.
Treatment appears to be most
effective when the soil is moist
and offers good growing condi-
tions. If it is applied on dry soil,
there will be no kil4ing~effect un-
til rain carries it into the soil. D.
DR.. Willard adds that no practi-
cal rate of applying TEA will
eradicate quackgrass in one treat
ment. Refreshments or blowing,
disking and cultivation will be
necessary to finish the job.
While TEA will also kill John
son grass, nimblewill and Bermu-
da grass, there is no satisfactory
methods yet developed for apply
ing it to Johnson grass. Bermuda
grass and nimbleWill can be kill
ed by methods similar to those
for quackgrass.
TEA is applied as a spray in a
water solution. One pound per
gallon is considered a s~atisfac-
tory application. Research men
are still not positive as the time
of year which is best for spraying
quackgrass. :

Little Knowledge
Needed of Insects
For Their Control

Insect pests of the home vege-
table garden al be controlled
easily because it is not necessary
to know much about insects or
the timing of applications, states
j. p. Sleeman of the Department
of Entomology at the Ohio Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.
One application of rotenone
each week will control Mexican
bean beetles, bean leaf beetles,
flea beetles, cucumber beetles,
and worms on cabbage, cauli-
flower, and brocolli. Either a
spray or a dust will give salts
factory control if it is applied so
that a light, even coating of the
insecticide covers the plants. Ro-
tenone dust can be purchased
ready-mixed and it should con-
tain one percent rotenone. A
spray a be prepared by mix
ing one ounce of rotenone pow
der in one gallon of water. When
rains wash off the protective
covering it should be replaced as
soon as possible, especially on
plants where flea beetles are a
problem and on cucurbits.
DOT gives good control of
bean leafhoppers, onion thrips,
cabbage worms, cucumber beet
les, squash bugs, squash vine
borer, and most insects on pota-
toes. The purified grade of DOT
should be used generally in the
vegetable garden because techni-
cal DOT is injurious to some
plants, particularly young tomato
plants and cucurbits. DOT can be
applied as a three percent dust,
OF as a spray prepared by mix
ing three level tablespoons of so
percent wettable DOT powder in
one gallon of water. DOT should
not be applied to vegetable crops
after the plant part to be har-
vested has begun to develop I'M
less it is naturally protected from
harmful insecticidal residues.
Aphids or plant lice can be con-
trolled by using nicotine sulfate
according to directions on the
package. Caterpillars on carrots
and hornWorms on tomatoes are
best eliminated by hand picking.
Chlordane applied as a spray
(six level tablespoons of 40 per-
cent wettable powder in one gal
Ion of water) or as a five per-
cent dust gives good control of
maggots and grasshoppers. Slugs
are best controlled by the use of a
metaldehyde bait.
