Cub Scout Committee Formed;
 Begin Enrolment

A Cub. Scout meeting was held December IT at the Valley Real Estate office and plans for pro- noting Cub scouting in the Val ley were made.
 Form letters are being sent home to parents of boys between the ages of eight and II years. All parents who are interested in enrolling their sons in Cub Scouts are requested to contact Al Sax ton, Cubmaster, at his office, To- cated across the street from Kos losky's Department store. The committee plans a complete regis tration of these eligible boys and upon completion, dens will be formed in various sections of the area. Parents are asked to regis ter their sons as soon as possible so the program may get under way.
 Committee members are: Al Saxton, Cubmaster; Ed Bergen, assistant master; Ted Buzby, as- sistant master and Paul Martin, Lew Hanks, Harold Moline, Ben Hudgins, John DeVries, Bernard Bouwens and Bill Kelleigh.
 The next regular committee meeting will be announced.

NEW BULLETIN FEATURES STUDS

News from the local Extension Service office this week include the notice that Bulletin FLO, Favorite Recipes for Potatoes, is available at the Palmer office.
 Prepared by Lydia Fohn-Han- sen, home demonstration leader at the University of Alaska, the bulletin offers a buying guide, U. s. grades and specifications, suggestions for winter storage and forword by Mrs. Fohn- Hansen which is printed below:
 ALASKANS ARE LUCKY
 People of the world depend on two main types of food for the bulk of hte diet; one is cereals (corn, wheat, and rice) and the other starchy vegetables.
 Cerea1-eating peoples are sub- .ject to severe dietary deficiencies. Where rice and corn are the main food, pellagra, beri-beri, and scurvy are prevalent. The potato eating people escape these dis eases because vegetables are gen. .erally more nutritious than pol ished and processed devitaminiz- ed cereal foods.
 Potatoes are especially rich in -vitamin C or ascorbic acid, which prevents scurvy, a disease which almost disappeared from Europe after potatoes were introduced.
 Potatoes also have more iron than rice, corn, or white bread, and so help prevent dietary ane- mia.
 The protein in potatoes is equal to the protein in a slice of bread or third of a cup of milk. To supplement the protein in pota- toes, serve them with protein foods such as meat, milk, or cheese.
 A medium-sized potato has the same energy value (carbohydra- tes) or fattening value as an or ange, an apple, a thick slice of bread, 5I9 cup of milk, or two pats of butter. Because it is rich in minerals and vitamins, it is in- cluded in reducing and diabetic diets, and can safely be included once or twice a day in a normal diet.
 Other advantages could be mentioned; the ease of cooking, the great variety of uses and recipes, the bland flavor, and the keping quality. In addition, pota- toes grow well in Alaska and are less expensive than other foods ,of comparable value.

When the Wright brothers lift
ed the first flying machine into
the air at Kitty Hawk 40 years ago
they probably never dreamed their
invention would be of much value
70 the farmer. but IL they were hv-
ing today they could see how vital
~ important aerial agriculture has
become to the operations of farm
ers of this nation and those OF
many other countries.
Mississippi pioneered this COM
saratively new phase of farming
and has contributed more to its
development than most of the 9TH
er states put together.
Aerial agriculture today is big
business. 1t offers the farmer
many fine services, including in
sect control through busting or
spraying. seeding, fertilizing. defo-
liating and photography.
The need for an improved
method of insect control gave birth
to aerial agriculture and that
phase still predominates. From a
modest beginning 2S years ago
great progress has been made in
aerial cotton busting. spraying and
defoliating.
The first experiments with air
plane application of inse ,ticides
were conducted by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture's Bureau
OF Entomology at Tallulah, La, in
1922. but the first commercial
busting was done two years later
at Heathman, Miss. Four hundred
boil weevil infested areas were
busted but an early killing frost
practically ruined the crop and the
\usting could not be evaluated.
News OF the experiment, how
sssr, spread rapidly and many
Delta farmers became interested.
busting soon became commonplace
In the broad. flat stretches of the
fertile Delta and the demand for
pilots and equipment increased.
The first cotton busters were an
adventurous group, largely COM
posed OF stunt filters who thought
1t necessary to put on an air cir
Gus every time they busted. AS a
consequence there were many
crack-ups with an alarming num-
Der Of fatalities.
AS busting spread the "exhibi-
ton" busting pilots began to be
replaced with filters dead serious
about their hazardous business.
They realized that flying two to 10
feet above the cotton plants, hav-
ing to hop telephone wires, trees
and other ground obstacles was
not child's play.
They also realized that preser-
vation of their equipment was of
utmost importance. Most of the
early busting was done with Tray
claire. Waco, and Stearman BIZ
planes. They were comparatively
slow, highly maneuverable and
relatively safe. Many are still in
use. having been rebuilt time after
time, but it is becoming increas-
ingly more difficult to get new
parts for the old, no-longer manu.
featured planes.
Aircraft especially designed for
aerial agricultural work are now
being produced and gradually are
replacing the old aircraft of the
early busting days.

vabuted to the development Of cot

There are approximately SO
Mississippi busting and spraying
companies and many pilots come
from other states during the sea-
son. The operation no longer is
confined to the Delta, but tech

ing applied extensively in these
areas.

room for mistakes. They must
pass rigid physical examinations
and obtain low-flying waivers from

State AerOnautics Commission.
They must protect themselves
from the toxic effect of fumes and
usually avail themselves of a good
soapy bath and complete change of
clothing after finishing a busting
or spraying job.
Aerial Agriculture has survived
its baby days and emerged as a
rapidly growing business that is

passed away Saturday in River
side Hospital, Toledo. He was born
March 8 while Mrs. Pierson was
enroute in an ambulance to the
hospital.
Karchner was arrested last
week on warrant signed by Mar
shal Walter Witker, Genoa, after
he had been called to the home
after neighbors complained of
Persons behavior.
When Witker, Mrs. Della Bo-
lack, case worker for the Otta-
wa County Welfare Department,
and Deputy Sheriff Clarence Ste
phens called at the home, they
found James, Jr., "baack and
blue" from beating repeatedly
administered by the father.
James, Jr., was taken to Wood
County Hospital where he was ad-
mitted March 9 as possible flu
case" His condition is conSid-
cred good and the hospital report
indicated no fractures, as was
first feared.
Two other children of the cou-
pie, Rebecca, 3 IL, and Grace, z,
have been placed in foster homes
on orders of Probate Judge P. w.
Gulau.
Pierson was sentenced to 90
days in Jail and fined 5000 and
costs by Justice Frank Karchner
in Genoa Sunday, after being al
lowed to attend services for the
baby. He had been held in Jail
pending the condition of James,
