B.} Hutchinson dean of the College of! Agriculture, University of Califortila. against Developed as a by product of the production of a war cheinical, this substance is proving amazingly effective in the control of plant nematodes. These minute worms are one of the most difficult of the plant pests to fight; in some cases horti; resorted to steam sterilization of the soil to get rid of them. It has also been found that DD. can be used to kill various types of insects and fungi in the soil. Dean Hutchinson says. Demands for the new chemical are tremeidous; Hawaii alone has asked for more than twice the total United States output to use in fighting the’ pinetpple plants: Production of DD has been limited because of difficulties in obtaining priorities to erect new plants for its manlfacture, What little DD is available is being proportioned to schools of agriculture for research projects so that when it is finally available the uses: and limitations will be wnown. Dr. M. A. Stewart associate professor of parasites is coordinating the research for the eleven western states in the use of DD against. nematodes and soiljinfesting insects. Research at the university is being conducted by Dr. Craig, associate professor of insect and W. M. Allen assocfate in the experiment station. WOMTN BEAR BRUNT OF HITLER.

Manpower shortage of nearly 10,000 continues to be ‘Southern Pacifie’s No. 1 problem, Mercier said, pointing out that the company now now 16,477 former employes in the armed forces. : “The Southern Pacific looks to thé future with confidence,’ he declared.-“We are not afraid of post war competition with other forms . of transportation on a fair and equitable ‘basis.’’ SCHOOLS REOPEN Grass Valley and ‘Nevada City schools reopened today after the Christmas vacation.
