Flying Ins eets May
Not Be Termites

Property owners frequently
become alarmed at the sight OF
flying insects in or around their
homes. Their 3 first thought
is that these are "winged" ter
mites. However, Ed Ralph, Sus-
sex Assoc. County Agent, points
out these insects are just as
likely to be the winged forms
Of one Of the common species
Of ants that invade houses.
These insects are trouble
some and annoying in many
ways but, with the exception OF
the carpenter ant, do not damage
wood.
Ralph says one way to tell
whether the winged insects you
see are termites or merely fly
ing ants Is by checking their
physical characteristics. The
winged termite has wings that
extend far beyond the end Of its
body. All four wings are of
equal length. The wings of the
ant, however, extend only slight :
ly beyond the end Of the body.
The fore wings are larger than
the hind wings.
According to Ralph, "winged"
termites leave their ground
nests In the spring and fall to
start new colonies. If you should
find a colony Of these termites,
apply a chemical to the soil to
make a poisoned soil barrier
between their nest and the wood.
More complete information on
the control Of these insects may
be obtained by contracting the

they said, it does not necessari-
ly signify a specific and uni
versal approach to the solution
of the problem.
"Most important, we believe,
is the strong evidence further
ing our previous contention that
tolerance to a human renal
homograft is not an all-or-none
phenomenon; that partial toler-
ance may be attained and
abortive rejection Of the graft
may be reversed with further
immunosuppressive the apy,"
they said.
Ideally, they said, donor
would be selected whose tissue
antigens closely match those Of
the recipient to reduce the
chance of the recipient develop
ing antibodies to new antigens
and minimize the amount and
possibly the duration of drug
therapy to suppress the i'm
munogenic response.
The authors pointed out that
a test has been devised for de-
termining whether or not two
persons carry similar antigens
and 1t also has been shown that
antigenic compatibility may be
shared by individuals who are
not related.
In the operation described,
they said, the donor was chosen
purely by chance. However, they
said, the possibility exists that
the donor and recipient shared
a number Of potent antigens and
that this factor favored survival
Of the graft.
Another factor in the success
Of the transplant may have been
the patients long standing kid
ney failure, they said. Studies
have shown that nitrogen reten-
tion resulting from chronic kid
ney failure favors tolerance to
a graft possibly because 1t pro-
notes production Of adrenal
cortical hormones by the body,
they said.
The kidney function of the pa
tient, whose own kidneys were
removed after the transplant,
has been relatively stable for
the last five months but is con-
sidered poor, the researchers
added. He also has anemia which
makes transfusions necessary,
they said.

surgery, and pathology, Peter

Kidney Trunsplunfs

The transportation Of a kid

was termed successful today by
a Boston medical team.
The recipient Is alive and able
Ito work as full time accountant
|16 months after the April 5,
1862, operation.
The case represents the long
est recorded life-S st ain
ing survival Of a kidney trans
planted from a person after
death to an unrelated recipient
with chronic kidney disease,
Drs. j. P. Merrill, J. E. Muir
ray, F. ]. Takacs, E. B. Hager,

min reported in the current
(Aug. 81 Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association.
The same group reported the
first successful kidney trans
plant between living persons
| other than identical twins ir
1860.
The difficulty in transplantine
kidneys between unrelated per-
!! sons is the development OF ar
! immunogenic response in the
/ recipient which causes his body
to reject the graft.
In this latest transportation
the researchers said, the re-
cipient on several occasions
showed obvious evidence Of be-
ginning to reject the grated kid
ney. On all these occasions, they
said, the rejection was reversed
or aileviated by administration
Of adrenal cortical steroids
drugs which perform like the
hormones secreted by the outer
layer of the adrenal gland anc
which suppress the body's i'm
munity, or defense, mechanism

Foxta1 was allowed to grow ir
the crop row only. Knake used
the same technique with soy
beans.
Foxtail seeded the same day as
the corn produced 1850 pounds
of weeds, dry weight, per acre.
On the same plot, corn produced
only 110.3 bushels per acre COM
pared with 1891 bushels on the
weed-free plot. With each sue
cessive three-week period after
corn was planted, dry weight OF
foxtail dropped from 375 to 17C
pounds, then to 20 and finally to
80 pounds on the plot where the
foxtail was planted 12weeks after
corn.
At the same time, plots seeded
to foxtat1 three weeks after plant
ing produced about three bushels
less corn per acre than the
weed-free plots. Plots seeded to
foxtan at 6, 9, and 12week inter-
walls after corn planting yielded
about the same as the weed-free
plots, indicating that corn COM
petes quite we'll when 1t gets ahead
of weeds.
The foxtail-soybean studies
produced even more dramatic re-
suits, Knake points out. When he
planted weed seeds at the same
time as the soybeans, they pro-
duced 2,40o pounds of dry weeds
per acre. Seeds planted three
weeks after soybeans produced
only rs pounds of weeds per
acre. From that point. the soy
beans shaded weeds so well that
Knake recorded no weed weights.
Foxtail planted the same day
as the soybeans reduced the crop
yield eight bushels per acre be-
low the yields on the weed-free
plots, Knake reports. With a
three-week headstart, soybeans
outdistanced weeds all the way.
Weed-free plots produced 35.9
bushels of beans per acre. Beans
with foxtail seeded three weeks
after planting made 35.3 bushels.
The other three plots, with fox
tail planted In succeeding three
week periods, averaged over SO
bushels per acre, Knake conclud-
ed.
I think we can all still agree
that "the only good weed IS a
dead one."
Both commercial growers and
home owners should keep spray
ing where you still have crop
prospects to justify 1t.

Ing production recipe, chances
are you Will get good stands this
fall:
1. Test your soil and follow
fertilizer recommendations.
2. Use plenty of lime.
8. Plow early.
4. Prepare a firm seeded.
5. Choose a good variety OF
mixture.
6. Seed on time (Aug. 10 =
Sept. 15).
2. Band seed.
I have detailed publications
available at our office at the

Information. II you are thinking
about a hay crop, don't forget
that alfalfa is the champ as a
high-yielding, drought-resistant
forage crop.
So, II you want some drought
insurance feed next summer, now
is the time to start planning for
It by seeding alfalfa this fall.
