NEW TRAVEL GUIDE TO ALASKA APPEARS ON NEWSSTAND THIS WEEK

There is now a Sunset Dis covery Book on Alaska which was made available Feb. 20 on newsstands throughout the na- ton for $1.75, Robert E. Ellis, pas; president of the Alaska Travel Promotion Association (ATPA), announced this week. This book is one of the most authentic tourist guides to AL aska for many years he said.
 Many Alaskans, the State Travel Division and Alaska or ganizations participated in fur nishing latest information and photos, but the book was made possible by ATPA which pro- vided the services of Kay J. Kennedy to research and write the basic manuscript.
 We believe that this book will help stimulate travel to Alaska-not only this year but in many years to come" he said.

Travel Group
Produce New
Display Rack

In its constant effort to assist
in promoting travel within the
state, the Delaware Travel
Council has produced a new
display rack for hotels, motels,
restaurants, and others inter-
ested in the travel trade.
President Seymour Gellens
said this week that many mem
bers had requested the Council
to find some easy and inter-
esting way to display material
for patrons. Loose brochures
on counters take up space he
said, and often become soiled
or otherwise wasted.
The rack was designed and
built by employees at Golden
Opportunity Center, George
town and will be distributed at
cost to members and those who
join the Travel Council during
the next 30 days, Gellens said.
Historic and Civic organiza-
tons, museums, transportation
media and others are publishing
an increasing amount of Della
ware literature, Gellens said.

The most valuable hay crop
In Delaware is alfalfa. The
most important pest of this crop
is the alfalfa weevil. This in
sect can cause complete crop
failure IL it is not controlled,
and the only way to control
it is to use insecticides.
The weevil wss first reported
In Delaware In 1852, and since
then has increaseaAo the point
Smyrna times., 1963-09-12

where it Is one of the ten most
important insects in the state.
The adultweevn spends the win
ter at the base of the alfalfa
plants under clods of soil or
other debris. Before entering
their winter sleep they crawl
about the alfalfa fields feed
ing and laying some eggs. The
feeding done by these adults In
the fall is of minor importance,
but the fact that they are pre-
sent and active In the fields
makes fall the best time to OBJ
tain good control with present
insecticides.
With the lengthening days of
March, the adult weevils be-
come active again and begin
laying eggs in great numbers.
The eggs are tucked inside
the stems of the previous years
alfalfa where they are well pro-
tected from the elements as
well as parasites, predators,
and insecticides. Eggs are also
laid In the stems of new growth
alfalfa as 1t develops. The
first eggs to hatch are those
which were laid in the fall.
If a large number of these are
present, the larvae coming from
them can cause severe damage

Der of larvae come from spring.
laid eggs, and usually theypro-
duce the most damage.
The weevil larvae are dull
yellow to bright green with a
single white stripe down the
middle of the back. They feed
in the tightly folded young
leaves, and are difficult to find
until they have grown quite a
bit. The adults are brownish in
color with a darker brown fig
lure on the back. Most of them
spend the day close to the soil

fssiff of this. habit, it is diff
4eult to find many of them DUR
Ing the day, and daytime in
spection of the field is apt to
give misleading information.
Best control of this pest is
obtained If either heptachlor or
dieldrin is applied to the fields
between September rs and Nov
ember is. They can be applied
as sprays or fertilizer mikes
or as granulars. Fertilizer
mixes should not be made up
by the grower, but by producers
who have the proper equipment.
Granular materials should not
be mixed with fertilizer because
such mixtures can not be made
uniform. Many growers wish to
fertilize and treat for weevil
at the time they prepare the
soil for a new planting of al
falfa. This is a waste of time
and money because it will not
control the weevil. Applications
must be made during the period
mentioned above to be effective.
In Virginia and North Carol
ina the weevil has developed
resistance to heptachlor and
dieldrtn, but there are no in
dications that resistance has
appeared In Delaware. Until II
does, 1t is best to stick with
one of these materials.
Treated fields must not be
grazed or used for forage be-
fore the normal cutting period
the following spring.

What This Country Really Needs

+, This writer would like to join the
many persons around the country who
have urged Barry Goldwater to throw
his hat into the 1864 presidential race
and become an active candidate for the
presidency.
The voters of this country need a
clear-cut alternative to the devouring,
~paternalistic type of government which
we are enduring now and its subsequent
loss of personal freedom which used to
mean so much. For too long the voters
have merely had a choice between
liberal democrat policies and a water
ed-down version of those same policies
adopted by the COP.
For the past several weeks there has
been much moaning among some repu-
blicans about the feared loss of popu-
larity of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller fol-
lowing his marriage to Mrs. Murphy.
They feel that the we'll publicized COM
plications surrounding the marriage
put an end to his potential as a candi-
date in 1864 to oppose John F. Kennedy.
So much the better as far as we are con-
cerned, because even if he were elected
we feel the voters would have a hard
time discerning whether it was 1864 or
1868, or 1886 for that matter.
If the republican party is that weak
The Sidney herald., 1963-05-29

that it cannot afford to lose that one
candidate, then it is more imperative
than ever to offer something unusual to
the voters a definite choice between
the two basic PHILOSOPHERS of govern
ment that are currently popular. If the
republican party hopes to accomplish
its announced goals and put this count
ry on a basis of rational individual free
dom, instead of bringing about continu-
ed abridgement OF that freedom and the
freedom from the control of the "give-
away boys" then it is time that we
have a candidate who believes in that
program instead of paying mere lip SER
vice to the idea.
A republican party which decides to
stand on its principles will make sense
to a lot of voters and taxpayers who
have nothing but a sense of despair over
current policies. 1864 will be the year
when the leaders of the COP. will have
a chance to find out whether they have
a program popular with Americans.
They really haven't had much of a
chance in recent years. Barry Goldwater
can give them that chance to find out
what Americans really want.

China's Aim

Communist China, in splitting with
Russia and Nikita Khrushchev on ideal
ogy, is aiming for world leadership of
communism and while the Chinese have
gained little ground so far, their threat
is quite real and many Americans have
failed to appreciate why this is true.
The Chinese communists are TODAY
arguing that Khrushchev is looking after
Russia first and world communism Sec
ond, and that true Leninism is the re-
verse of this approach. They are calling
Khrushchev a diversionist, a dogmatist.
Nevertheless, the danger is that the
Chinese approach is likely to appeal to

We think some of the supporters of a
No vote in the wheat referendum are
getting a little carried away with their
victory. Some would have everyone in
public office resign if they supported a
Yes vote.
In the case of Secretary Freeman, it
may be justified or sweet revenge. This
was his baby and it never got off the
ground. 1t wasn't too long ago when poor
old Ezra Taft Benson was sportin' a
scalp that wasn't worth a plug nickel in
some quarters. The No vote has provided
an opportunity for those on the other
side of the fence to do a little iabbing
of their own.
We read Friday where someone wants
Senator Mike Mansfield to resign be-
cause he supported the program. Over
in North Dakota, Senator Milton Young,
a Republican, supported the program,
so he should probably resign, too, if you
are to continue this line of thinking.
What we need is some good sound ap-
proaches to the farm program and not a
lot of political hooey.

Africa and Asia to a greater degree than
the peaceful co-existence approach of
Khrushchev. These impoverished masses
want action now and they are not as self

now become, and are slowly becoming

So far Moscow has held most of the
world in line behind Russian leadership.
But how long that will continue to be
the case, as the poor masses in Asia and

lulled by the Chinese propaganda, is a
good question.

Premier K~hrushchev gave the United
States warning again about Cuba. We
failed to understand part of his threats
when he spoke of our promises. Accord
ing to what we know, this country has
made no promises; unless some were
made that the American people don't
know about.
Although it doesn't seem that long, it's
three years ago this month that Soviet
"technicians" arrived in Cuba.
Except for cutting off the Cuban u
gar bonus, the Eisenhower administra-
ton appeared as powerless to do any
thing about Castro as it was about his
appropriation of property owned by u.
5. firms and citizens.
In the 1860 Presidential campaign Sen.
John F. Kennedy called the Eisenhower
quarantine of Cuba "too little and too
late"
He had nothing good to say about the
Eisenhower policy to Cuba.
Yet since our conformation with the
Soviet Union last October. there appears
to be no major policy shift except that
ironically, we now appear virtually tc
be guaranteeing Cuba from invasion
even by Cuban exiles.
