A group I I of scientists in goggles and sweat- j | shirts are finding out in field tests ! | here just what size drop of insecti- j [ cide is the most lethal bomb for l i American crop pests. ! The work being conducted by ! j men from the general laboratories | of Socony-Vacuum Oil company is j a sample of the odd, unlikely jobs j that fall to researchers, i In a similar type of research, , but directed at mosquitoes instead of crop pests, Columbia university scientists have been figuring out the best size DDT-infused liquid bullets 1,1 to kill the bloodsuckers. | ' “I never thought botany would lead to anything like this,” grins Dr. A, E. Griffiths, plant patholo gist, walking across a sun-baked i field scattering bits of blotting paper ! and pegging microscope slides j j while a little plane j ; scoots across the scrub pines of cen tral Long Island to eject another test mixture. v ! Since early spring, the field work ! has been underway, a task of sort | i ing out the types of oil bases, the I combinations and the temperature* I j which will provide the maximum j spread for crop dusting solution^. A Figure Out Droplet. The war-born bug killer DDT is eventually to be mixed with the oil base which satisfies the Peed for ef fective saturation and maximum spread. Dr. M. J. Janes, entomologist, has determined, for example, that a droplet 50 microns in size (there are 5,000 such droplets in an inch) ”|is apparently best, for bigger ones I don’t spread out over a sufficiently j wide strip of ground, and smaller J ones drift upwards and scatter inef fectively. The big gimmick id the whole sc | ries of tests is learning what oil combination and what temperature (400, 600 or 800 F.) will be most nearly uniform and also ba tha j most effective DDT carrier. [ An aromatic type oil, for ex- I ample, can hold a 30 per cent con -1 centration of the insecticide, but a paraffin type can hold only about 5 per cent. I The droplet control tests have in -1 dicated that a prewar quantity of i 15 gallons of ordinary fuel oil per j acre can be cut to one pint of high i ly vaporized oil mixed with 20 per cent DDT, or two quarts with a 5 per cent saturation and the same degree of insect destruction can be achieved. Best Killing Size. - With some types of oil being test ed, planes are able to dust a path 200 feet wide, which means many | less runs will be needed across a field-. la the Columbia research, a gun ) named the Hochberg-LaMer gen erator has been developed, consist i ing of a tank of water and a tank of oil carried on a jeep. All the DDT is in the oil. Water is changed into steam in a flash boiler ahd drives the oil out of noz i zles. ORDINARYS’ CITATION GEORGIA, Houston County, W.

Variety of Cotton Assures Mill Demand ; In 2,500 communities, farmers have joined hands to grow one-vari ety cotton, the department of agri culture saying the plan has paid off. For example, in Georgia and Ala bama where the one-variety pro gram has been in use for about 10 i years, the extra income has ranged from $6 to $ll per acre each year. Cotton breeders at the state ex periment stations in the cotton belt, and scientists with the department of agriculture have developed vari eties of cotton that meet the spin- - ning-demands of the cottonmill in dustry. Tests were run to deter mine fiber strength. X-ray ma chines, microscopes, stretching de vices, spindles—all were put to work to find out what kind of cotton was needed. The result has been that depend able cotton fiber is being grown on about one-third of all the cotton acreage in this country. What’s more, this one-variety plan has im proved cotton’s place in the whole fiber picture. When mills can buy large lots of uniform staple cotton ■—ls to 20 per cent stronger than mixed variety lots—American cot ton farmers will have gone a long way in meeting competition from fibers that may be imported from other countries or manufactured synthetically here at home.
