Called ''Boner by
New York Writer

The stand taken by local Re
publicans in the Virgin Islands
against the appointment OF
any native as Governor was
termed a F'boner' by Robert G.
Spivack Of the New York Post.
The article appeared in a
column called Tn the Towns
Backrooms" and is edited by
Mr.. Spivack with Irving Lie
herman, Ted Poston, husband
of Mrs. Marie Poston), William
y. Keegan and Al Sostehen. II
reads thus:
Talk about boners:
The Republican Party Of the
Virgin Islands sent a resolu-
ton to Ike recently urging him
NOT to appoint any native as
Governor Negroes comprise 81
per cent Of the population"
(The term "boner' as used
on the mainland means, il
short, blunder.)

Insect Control
Dry Fall Didn't
Help Beetles
BY ]. P. CORKINS
assistant State Ent0mOb0 gfs

IOuIlQ IOT Tie llTSt tllIlG III Lewis anu
Clark county. This may be evidence
that this noxious weed of range land
will probably continue to spread
eastward in Montana from the prin-
cipal areas of infestation in western
Montana.
1t is hoped that the goatweed
beetles will attack this pest to the
extent that it is eliminated from the
ranks of important noxious weeds
of Montana range areas. There is
certainly reason for hope. Reports
from California indicate that under
northern California conditions the
feeding activities of the goatweed
beetles greatly helped the general
| goatweed infestation situation.
1t is too soon to be sure of what to
expect under Montana conditions.
| Last spring the evidence indicated
| that the goatweed beetle colonies
were thriving, multiplying and feed
ing readily on the goatweed. During
the drier weather of summer the
goatweed beetle colonies observed
went into their summer resting stage
in apparent good condition. This
summer resting stage is normally in
terrupted by fall rains, at which time
the adult beetles become active, in
flict serious feeding damage on the
fall growth of goatweed, and mate.
Dry Fall
Last fall was extremely dry and
the goatweed beetles remained in
their resting stage. This may or may
not be b good situation. 1t is pos
sible that the beetles will emerge
next spring, feed, mate, lay eggs,
the eggs hatch into young larvae, and
the larvae develop into adults and
proceed in vigorous condition.
We strongly hope that this will be
the case. There is, however, the pos
sibility that the loss of their fall ac-
tivity period may prove to be harm
full and that large proportion of the
beetles will not survive. Unfortu-
nately, this situation cannot be de-
termined until late this coming
spring.
From the standpoint of planning
for the future we must assume the
possibility that the beetles will sur
vive the abnormal conditions of last
fall and that they will reproduce nor
mally, resulting in high goatweed
beetle populations this spring. On
this assumption, the office of the
state entomologist, the Agricultural
Extension service and local Weed
control agencies are planning an in
dividual farmer and rancher beetle
redistribution program for this
coming spring.
This program will be planned and
organized so that if beetles are avail
able immediate and rapid redistribu-
ton can be realized. Such program
will provide western Montana ranch
ers and farmers an opportunity to
plant beetles on their own goatweed
infestations. In addition these agen-
cies will carry out beetle redistribu-
ton to areas of obvious need.
Survey Planned
II the abnormally dry weather Of
last fall caused beetle populations tc
be at low ebb, program will be
planned to re-introduce beetles il
the spring of 1854. Regardless o.
how the beetle situation appears thi,
coming spring, a goatweed survey
program is planned for later in the
summer. This survey will serve a
basis for later beetle redistribution
