New Chemical a&s-Murders Flies Gastonia, July 10—Death pene trated the atmosphere in Roy Witherspoon’s milking house be tween Bessemer City and Cherry ▼ille Friday afternoon. Several farmers from nearby had come to see the pre conceived mass murder. One by one they gasped for air, struggling to breathe the life giving oxygen,, but failing, like soldiers in an attack, toppled over, first a few, then many, and eventually the air stilled—not a fly was left alive. I The outside door slowly open ed, a head peeked in, ‘‘bring the scutter grill,” someone hollered In an instant two men came carrying a one yard square grill and placed in on the floor. The deed was done, not a liv ing creature was left for the tell tale scutter grill. 200 FLIES KILLED Just the day before the grill was placed in the barn of R. B. Watterson. on the Gastoijia Ressenrier City highway. Two hundred flies were counted on the board then. When the lethal treat ment had ended, the grill was again brought on.

C. ed on it. Insecticide experts immediate ly pronunced three flies to the square yard living in Watterson’s barn. A half an hour before, there had been from 20(K250 to a square yard. In the case of Witherspoon's, there were none left, but that was because his barn contained less flies from the beginning than had Watterson’s. STRONGER THAN DDT This scene had almost been duplicated years before when DPT was introduced to the public as the answer to flies. Experts- ap plied the new wonder insecticide, and dramatically, flies by the dozens were dead on contact. It looked as if the fly was to become something of the past for small children to tell their chil dren about. Little did the expert know tiiu someday flies would build up an imp',unity to DDT and actually The same mistake will not. be Years * of experiments, which now have reached the stage of trial and error, have brought a new wonder chemical to the mar ket arid Gaston farmers were given a look-see of it Thursday and Friday in four demonstra The new- chemical is known scientifically as O. O. dimethyl dithiophosphate of diethyl mer captosuccinate. CALLED MALATHION To the general public it is called malathion and is believed to lie ’iie most effective insecticide yet discovered. In a laboratory test over a two year period, So generations of Hies had not built up resistance to it Yet, the same number tested with DDT showed that generation number So could resist not only DDT but all other insecticides but -We don' swer to the Frank G. G the fellow mas- ntardei and"1 farm1 fly problem." said Ionian of Charlotte, responsible for the Golem an was' in the days to give demon health department itfice officials, plus scores of farmers. Malathion, he said, has proven to be the most deadly to flies, yet safest to humans insecticide ever j invented. It would take 10 gallons, heh said, taken at one time, to • kill a person. j On hand to view the demon stration were Farm Agent Paul J Kiser- an dDewey Hennessee, his j assistant. Members of the health department were Bill i.ong, pub lic health engineer, and director of the engineering and sanitation department; Sam Holloway, su pervisor of sanitarians, and Jim Huey, Don Kanikn and Gerald Cathey of the summer spraying program. In additir: . many farmers, ■seeking a way to eliminate flies in a safe manner, came to the demonstrations. VFY IT IN LOWELL Long said that the health de partment would keep LDT and other insecticides, hut would prob ably purchase malathion now that r the new chemical has proved so effective. He added that plans are now being worked out to try it on a community basis in Lowell. While not endorsing or recom mending the new chemical, the State Extension Service is pro moting it by sponsoring demon strations in counties throughout the state. The one in Gaston was not sponsored by Extension S*?r Coleman, representing the Carolina Veterinary Supply Co., of Charlotte, which sells the chemical under the trade name i of Malrin. did not comp to the county to sell anyth'ng. Pur chases .will have to be made ’trough the county’s veterin ?! . • -rest is in working with maniv.ii .'kies on effipetive fly ron*: ■' programs. Hi sysf m has •rr.’ady been rd ui'.cd by about 2.5 ,-Ui •< .m 1 count v in North Caro A -p-:?y is used to -oread the chemical on walls and ceiFngs. A coat of sugar to attract flics is actuallv left when. the spray hits. Thus flies are killed from two to four weeks before spraying is needed again. To show how effective mala ithion is, Coleman told this story to the group: I Dewey Hennessee, assistant • farm agent, had accidentally got 1 ten some on his shoes at Thurs day’s demonstrations. Thursday evening and Friday morning he noticed that wherever he stopped, dead flies appeared around his feet. An expression of disbelief hov ered over the crowd, until some one took a sideward glartce at Hennessee sitting near one of the feeding stalls in Witherspon's Five flies day dead at his feet. Wheat Supports | A re Increased | Tlie final support rate on the 1954 crop of wheat has been an nounced, says H. D. Godfrey, state a ldministrative officer for Agri cultural Stabilization and Conser The final rate is 4 cents more per bushel than the minimum prices announced last fall. The average support rate for grades of wheat produced throughout the nation is $2.24 per bushel. God frey compares this figure with the national average support rate of $2.21 per iushel for the 195.'3 crop. The class of wheat grown in North Carolina is soft red win ter wheat. This wheat, grading No. 1. carries a support rate of $2.40 a bushel; grading No. 2, it carries a rate of $2,139; No. 13 - $2,137; No. 4 - $2.34; and No. 5 - $2.31. Godfrey reports that by grade the rate is also discounted accord ing to the condition of the wheat. If tiie wheat is “light smutty”, the support rate is 2 cents less, "smutty”, fi cents less, "light gar 1 icky”, 6 cents less, and "garlicky” 15 cents less per bushel. The 1954 wheat crop will be supported as in the past through leans on farm and warehouse siored wheat and through the pur chase of wheat delivered by pro ducers under purcase agreements. Loans and purchase agreements will he available from harvest time through January 31. 1955. Only Ford Trucks have it! V-8’s and SIX!

Svffivan, Jr. Cherryville, C In North Carolina these loans will mature on February 28, 1955. Producers who elect to de liver wheat under purchase agree ments must notify their County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee within a 30-day period ending on the loan maturity date. To get wheat price support in 1954, a producer must be in com pliance with his 1954 wheat acre age allotment and he eligible to receive a wheat marketing card on all other wheat growing farms in theh cov.ntyi n which he has an interest, Godfrey reminds. FEWER PEARS - MORE GRAPES Pear prospects continue to point to a North Carolina crop of t .'10,000 bushels, accordin'- to the July 1 report of the N. C. Crop Reporting Service. Such a crop would be 4,000 bushels less than theh 195:5 crop and 28,000 bushels under the 10-year average crop ot 15S.000 bushels. Grape production in the State i this year is estimated at 2,700 I tons, 200 tons above production | last year, and the same tonnage j as produced in 1952.
