Chemical Plant Fire
In Alexandra Probed

The Alexandria Fire Prevention
Bureau is investigating the blaze
which early yesterday threatened
to- destroy the American Agricul-
tural Chemical Co. plant on the
city's waterfront.
Firemen managed to bring the
flames under control within As
minutes and confined damage to
one small area of the big, frame
factory. It occupies an entire city
block between Lee, Princess and
Queen streets.
Lawrence bunker, general SUI
perintendent of the plant, said he
believes damage has been held
down to between $1,000 and
$4,000 He praised the fire de-
partment.
The blaze came dangerously
close to portion of the building
where explosive ammonia Is stored.
Seventeen f1remen were injured
slightly combating it.
Flames apparently started in a
elevator shaft, but there was no
immediate explanation of their
origin. The night Waterman had
checked the building about 20
minutes before the fire was dis
covered at 1907 am.
The same factory was threat
ened by fire last fall when an old
railroad wasehouse leased by Rob-
inson's Terminal Ware hous G

Power Boat Rams
.Skiff, Killing Woman
Asleep on Patuxent

A Washington woman was killed
yesterday when a power boat
rammed the drifting rowboat in

take a nap and allowed the boat
to drift.
Mr.. Miller said he was awak-
ened by a crash. The side of the
rowboat was caved in and water
was pouring in. Mrs. King was
unconscious and started to 60
under.
The operator of the power boat
Joseph B. Bahen, jr., 26, of 4707
Connecticut avenue NV, pulled
Mrs. King ana Mr.. Miller onto
his boat.
Mrs. Kips was still alive when
brought aboard the power boat
but she died a short time later on
the way to a hospital. Mr.. Miller
said Mrs. King had been badly in
jured in her side, and he believed
she bled to death.
The accident occurred about $50
pm.
Mr.. Miller said he had known
Mrs. King about two weeks. He
said she had lived in Washington
for some time and worked at the
Pentagon. Mr.. Miller works in
the Labor Department.
State police said Mr.. Bahen was
charged with mapslaughter by
motorboat. A hearing was set for
June 81 at Prince Frederick.
Mr.. Bahen told police he did
see the rowboat before the acct
dent.

A Washington area youth, who
is used to winning model airplane
meets, yesterday took the top
honors at the seventh annual Ma
tional Capital Model Air Show,
held at Andrews Air Force Base.
Roger L. Barron, whose home in
Springfield, Fairfax County, Va,
is full of dozens of trophies, once
again showed a record number
of $50 contestants how it is done.
He won The Evening Star
Trophy. the National Airport Club
Trophy, the Douglas Aircraft

said one of his planes disappeared
in the woods, and he also placed
far down the line in one event.
However, his unique position as

Entry Tops
Soviet Time in Model
Plane Endurance Test

DR.. Walter A. Good, the physi-
cist who developed the proximity
fuze of World War II, had figured
it might take at least four trials
lat yesterdays Model Plan Show
to beat the Russian record
for radio-controlled planes.
However, he was so far ahead
of the record on the first trial at
Andrews Air Force Base that he
didn't even bother with the rest
of the test flights.
His model aircraft, a mono
plane with a 6-foot Widespread,
and of DR.. Goods own design,
was equipped with two extra gas
tanks. 1t remained aloft 40 min
Iutes and q seconds to wrest the
Irecord from A. Aizenchteine of
the U. S. S. R., which was made
last year. It was % minutes, Z
seconds.
Assist From Nature.
DR.. Goods plane ran out of gas
after rs minutes in the air, but
favorable thermals (the ideal
kind of currents for model plane
flight kept it aloft. In explain
ing why the later flights were I'M
necessary, the 36-year -old physi-
cist, of 9802 Parkwood drive, Be-
thesda. Md. said:
ut couldn't have been a better
flight. I don't see how we could
have improved on it in later
trials. We worked those thermals
for all they were worth"
BY radio control, the plane, in
landing, came within 100 feet of
the prescribed position. About
500 feet is allowed for this OPP

DR.. Good, who is with the Johns

a little disappointed, however. He
said he hoped his plane would re-
main. aloft As minutes, to double

DR.. Goods aircraft contained a
ione-tube radio receiver. The adj
dition of two more gas tanks
brought his plane up to the maxi
mum weight permitted for the
wing and tail surface of his model.
The loaded plane was so heavy
that it required a 300-foot take
off run to become airborne.
To establish a new record, a full
minute was required above the
Russian mark. Since more than
II minutes elapsed beyond the
Soviet-held mark, DR.. Goods
flight only needs formal certifica-
ton by the ANA and the FAI to
become official.

Wireworms Can Be Controlled
By Treating Winter Wheat

two treated plots in the spring re-
vealed dead wire wirms. These
were usually found adjacent to old
seed kernels. The only living worms
found were below the area of wheat
growth. The untreated plot had
many wireworns actively feeding
and causing damage.
The test showed that a 20.5-acre
plot, treated at the rate Of nine
tenths of an ounce of gamma isomer
benzene hexachloride per acre,
yielded 80 bushels of wheat per
acre more than 12-acre untreated
plot. A 6.4-acre plot treated at the
rate of one ounce of the chemical
per. acre yielded 63 bushels more
wheat per acre.
In view of these results, Corkins
said, it is recommended that winter
wheat seed be treated this fall if
it is to be planted in fields known
to be infested with wireworms.
Treatment should be with gamma
isomer of benzene hexachloride
either in highly purified gamma
isomer form or as lindane, at the
rate of one ounce to the amount of
wheat sown per acre.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-09-01

ON THE BASIS Of tests made this
past year, treatment of winter
wheat seed to control wireworms
can now be recommended, accord
ing to ]. P. corkins, assistant state
entomologist at Montana State col
lege.
In the past, Corkins explained,
treatment was recommended only
for spring seeded grain since it was
not known whether the insecticidal
treatment of winter wheat seed in
the fall would carry over into the
spring when wireworms are active.
This past year, he said, tests of
winter wheat treatment were made
on the farm of Max Lindsey in
Fergus county in cooperation with
chemical manufacturing company.
Various rates of seed treatment
were made with prepared mate
rial which is a combination of funga-
eide and gamma isomer of benzene
hexachloride.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Grass and
pastureland are to receive major
emphasis in the 1858 production
goals program. While feed grain
production still holds the prime spot
in the eyes of production specialists,
they say that farmers are not doing
as well by grassland agriculture as
they might.
The opening gun on the more
and better grasslands drive was
fired by Secretary Brannan at
the recent International Grass
land congress. Brannan says the
billion acres of grazing land in
the United States is only about
IS percent as productive as it
should be. He maintains that
grassland farming is tagging
about Is percent behind adj
vancements in other types of
agriculture.
Brannan's speech apparently was
the keynote" for the 1858 goals
program. PIMA, for the first time
in the history of the goals program,
announced that goals for grasslands
will be set up along with goals for
other crops.
But the goals program for grass
land betterment will be run from a
different tack than for the other goal
crops. Normally, for crops like wheat
and corn, goals are established in
Washington with state PIMA COM
mittee approval. Grassland goals,
however, are to be drawn up for all
counties by the individual PMA
county committees.
The thought here is that county
committees themselves know best as
to what the farmers in their coun-
ties have done along these lines and
what can be expected in the future.

Democratic secretary undoubtedly
would want to take time out to study
the goals before announcing them.
The goals that are in this uncer-
tain category are for corn and all
other spring -sown crops. The present
schedule calls for announcement of
these goals in early January. If they
are announced, officials believe it
won't be much before February.
Goals already announced are not
expected to be involved-and will re-
main as announced. This includes
wheat and other winter grain crops.
Goals for potatoes and sweet potatoes
will be announced about Nov. Is.
OPEN CANADIAN BORDER?
Tremendous pressure is bear
ing down on the Bureau of AMI
man Industry TO open the Cana
dian border TO agricultural inn
ports now that Canada has an
nounced eradication of foot-and-
mouth disease in Saskatchewan.
The pressure is reported as conn
ing from both sides Of the bor-
der.
But BAL officials fear the con-
sequences of an outbreak here so
much that they plan to take no
chances. BAL tells us there is no
chance the border will be opened this
year, unless BAL is forced into it.
The Canadian foot-and-mouth aft
fair has serious implications, not only
on agricultural trade between the
U. S. and our northern neighbor, but
on the entire friendly relationship
between the two nations. Washing
ton officials hint that some spec
tacular developments may be in the
wind.
