VALLEY FORGE, Pa, June 30
The simultaneous explosion OF
dozens of aerial bombs today was
to inaugurate the official start OF
the second National Jamboree ot
the Boy Scouts. But to the 47,00C
Scouts encamped here, including
142 from the Washington area, the
big moment of the first day will
come at 9 pm, when President
Truman, their honorary chief ex-
ecutive, addresses them during a
colorful open-air ceremony.
The President will arrive here
by special train early this evening
He will be welcomed by Gov. Duff
of Pennsylvania, Amory Houghton,
national president of the Boy
Scouts, and Frank C. Wozencraft
of Washington, chairman of the
Scouts National Jamboree Com
mittee.
Mr.. Truman and his party then
will tour the 635-acre tent city
spread over the rolling hills of this
historic site before going to the
specially built arena to make his
speech.
Pageant to Be Given.
AS the presidential party is in
specting the trim and well-deco-
rated areas occupied by the
Scouts, the campers themselves
five times as strong as the force
Washington had under his COM
mand here-will be marching into
the amphitheater.
After the Presidents speech the
Scouts will present an elaborate
pageant of the story of Valley
Forge.
Part Of the Continental Army
Of Gen. Washington will be por-
trayed in the pageant by 40
Scouts from the National Capital
Area Council, which includes the
District and parts of Maryland
and Virginia.
The Washington-area actors re-
hearsed all day yesterday, and
marched back again last night for
a dress rehearsal. Not even a
gentle. steady rain which started
in mid-afternoon interrupted
their rehearsals, although it
brought to the other Washington
Scouts their first period of mac
tivity since arrival here Tuesday
for some pre-jamboree camping
experience.

Control Operations
On Noxious Weeds
To Be Resumed Here

Control operations on pereni-
al noXiouS weeds will be re-
sumed within the Big Horn
weed control district as soon as
weed growth permits, accord
ing to N. A. Jacobsen, county
extension agent.
Landowners within the dis
trict who desire weed control
services should make application
to the district at the county
agents office in Hardin.
Landowners and occupiers
outside the weed control dis
trict may also secure similar
control service on perennial
noXious weeds by making appli-
cation to the Big Horn soil
conservation district, whose Of
flee is located in the Kronmil-
Ter building in Hardin.
BY special agreement the
weed control district is author
lied to do work in areas out
side the weed district providing
landowners and occupiers make
an advance deposit with the
soil district to cover the cost
of weed control work, the agent
said. Under this agreement op-
orators NAV have weed control
work performed on leased lant
providing payment for tn e
work is guaranteed by the adj
vance deposit. "...-.~
The equipment now owned
and operated includes two
tractor = drawn, low = pressure
sprayers of late type and de-
sign. This equipment is now
considered adequate to give
service in all parts of the
county requesting the same.
Charges for 1850 weed con-
troll work will be reduced con-
siderably, Jacobsen stated, due
to a lower cost of 2,4-D weeo
chemical. It is expected that
weed spraying this season viii
not exceed So per acre of in
festation actually covered.
Progress made the past veal
against perennial weeds ha!
been slow, but rather effective
since the advent of new spray
chemicals. Last year As differ
ent farmers requested Weec
control services on a total Of
more than 400 acres of infes-
tation. This was the most ex-
tensive spraying operation I'M
dertaken since the weed district
was formed.
Members of the board of SUI
pervisors of the Big Horn weed
control district are r. B. Mac
Leod, E. E. Schelske and Guy
T. Van Cleve. .
Roy Peterson of Hardin will
act as weed control foreman

Says Wet Weather
No Detrimenf
To Army CutworTls

One new change was listed
yesterday in the control pro-
gram for army cutworms in this
area, according to the state en-
tomologist's office, along with
a warning that the worms may
still do serious damage.
The cool, damp weather and
intermittent SHOWS of the past
week or more haven't hurt the
cutworms at ALT only pro-
longs the agony, says Jack Cor
kinS, assistant state entomolo-
giSt. This weather merely holds
the worms back, making the
outbreak last longer.
AgronomiStS now feel that 1t
will he safe to use oil, rather
than water, with the toXaphene
in spraying winter wheat fields
from aircraft. Previously oil was
not recommended because of
the danger of damaging the
winter wheat, and even now is
recommended for winter wheat
only.
With ground equipment, the
same recommendation is made
of five to 10 gallons of water
with two pounds of toxaphene.
Corkins repeated his warn
ing that it is necessary for the
cutWorms to eat toxaphene on
the foliage, SO the wheat must
have enough growth to hold
the chemical. Farmers can't
spray bare ground and expect
to kill worms. Grasshopper bait
must be used where there is no
foliage.
