Beetles Battle Weeds
By M. w. STELLMON

and Californian testing grounds. Aus
traha imported the tiny insect from
Europe in the early '3Os to combat
the goatweed threat down under. IN
its native environment the beetle is
a natural parasite of the plant, and
it continued its habits in Australia.
This interested California agricul-
turists, and they imported the beetle
in 1945 for use on 100000 acres of
goatweed- infested land in the north
ern part of that state.
Extensive experiments in both
areas proved the beetle could adapt
itself 70 those conditions and. per-
haps most important, proved the
beetle will feed on no desirable
forage plant It will starve if removed
from goatweed.
Technically, there are two types of
this insect in use. Chrysolina gemel-
lata and Chrysolina hyperici. How
ever, they work so similarly that no
practical distinction need be made.
Strips Leaves
The beetle strips the leaves from
the plant. The larval or immature
stage feeds and develops on early
growth Of the weed in late winter
and early spring, apparently causing
enough damage to kill the plant the
following summer.
During the summer. the adult
beetle lies dormant beneath the soils
surface. After the first autumn rains
it comes from the soil, feeds again,
mates, lays its eggs, and dies. One fe-
male will lay about $4,000 eggs,
usually in the top layer of soil, but
occasionally on the plant itself. The
beetle winters in either egg or larval
form.
The forest service imported nine
colonies of 5000 beetles each to
region in 1913 and, of these 8,
became established while only two
definitely failed. Fate of the others
is not known, but the experiment
showed the beetles can live in Mon
tana conditions.

AT LEAST 10000 acres Of west
ern Montana grazing land support a
weed that whites dollars from the
rangeman's income. The weed
known as st. Johnswort or klamath
weed or, more commonly in this area,
goatweed- reduces forage value Of
the range, cuts into the condition Of
grazing livestock, and, if eaten in
sufficient quantity, kills
Cattle, sheep, horses nearly all
grazing animals suffer from the
poison in the plant Eating it causes
white skinned portions of the ami
mails body to become sensitive to
light, and the area blisters when ex-
posed to direct sunlight The result
is scabby, sore-mouthed, under
weight animal That is the big loss
caused by goatweed.
Spreads Rapidly
The weed grows erectly, one to
three feet high, and aggressively,
once it is established. It is a many
branched, narrow-leaved plant with
yellow, midsummer blossoms. Con-
spicuous black dots spot the leaves
and flower petals. These dots contain
the poison.
Goatweed has spread over Mon
tana ranges fairly recently from Cali
fornia, Oreg on, Washington and
Idaho. Sanders county, on the Mon
tana-Idaho border, contains 100000
acres of goatweed- infested land. But
the millions of small, sticky seeds pro
duced by the weed are being carried
into other areas. and now Lake, Flat
head, Lincoln, Missoula, Mineral and
Ravali counties have some heavily
infested plots.
This isn't a one-sided story, how
ever, because goatweed can be con
trolled. Chemical control with an I'M
refined borax ore is possible where
the weed is not too dense. An annual
application of 2,4-D will hold it
down. But the most economical
means known so far is an insect, a
shiny, blue-green beetle about the
size of a ladybug.

weed has been proven on Australian

Nome Explorer Scouts
 Go to Kodiak Encampment

Explorer Scouts Bill Boucher, Jr., and Dean Martin took off from Marks Air Force Base Saturday afternoon for Fairbanks, where they are scheduled to join other troops from the Midnight Sun dis trict.
 Their transportation was made possible through the courtesy of the us. Air Force.
 For a while it was uncertain whether or not the Air Force would be able to pick up the boys, so Rotary Club of Nome gener- ously offered to pay the fares of these two explorers to Fairbanks so they would not lose the oppor- tunity of taking part in, the All Alaska encampment at Kodiak.
 Tn addition to full program of lectures and demonstrations on aircraft, weather survival equip ment, helicopter rescue, etc., by the US. Naval Base, the 150 boys will be guests at a coed dance sponsored by the city of Kodiak at the Ski Chalet with music by the Naval Station band.
 Sponsoring the boys for the city will be a committee from the ElkS Lodge Rotary Club, and Cham Der of Commerce. The boys will be taken on a tour which will in clude a visit to canneries, the Russian church and other historic places of interest.

Nation sBankersM Meet
As Warning Of Spread
OF Initiation Is Given
By the Asseeioted Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-Ofhcials of
the Nations commercial banks,
who open a three-day meeting
here today, were warned that
greater imitation may come.
Some 1000 persons assembled
for the 77th annual convention of
the American Bankers AsSocia-
ton, of which 98.4 per cent of the
banks now are members.
The talk of imitation came from
James E. Shelton, president of the
ABA and of Security-First Ma
tional Bank of Los Angeles.
{. He told a pre-convention news
conference that the bankers ef-
forts to restrain inf1ationary credit
may be needed more than ever
before" if defense spending ex-
pandS as expected.
Inventories Piled Up.
This is how he views the present
economic state of the Nation:
Buying is lighter because of in
ventories piled up by two buying
splurgeS since the Korean war.
Many consumers still are max
ing inStallment payments on these
purchases, thus reducing their
current spendable income.
Banks helped limit the inf1a-
tionary effect of these splurges by
refusing loans for non-productive
purposes. AS credit was restricted,
demand for goods dropped.
Total demand for credit is con-
tlnulng to rise, partly because of
higher prices, but the rate of in
crease now has slowed down and
we may be in a transition period
Most credit extended to busi-
ness thus far has been for tools
which have yet to be put to full
use in defense output.
Present upturnS in banks COM
.merclal loans are in part seasonal
and in part for actual defense
production. If the latter picks up
fast, additional credit will be re-
quired.
And the spending from such a
pickup will boost infationary
presSures.
This will call for continued vol
untary programs by Lenders to
restrain credit for nonproductive
purposes which could add to these
preSsures.
Mr.. Shelton said bankers have
co-operated fully on the credit
program, but that many of them
are asking why the Government
itself doesn't reduce its monde
fense spending. He said he felt
neither the Federal, State and
municipal governments, nor pri-
vate industries have exercised the
restraint they could have.
