For when he thinks love is in the air it could be just a trip set by scientists who want to keep: him out of the potato and lettuce patches of the Pacific Northwest and western Canada, where the sugar beet wireworm causes considerable crop damage,, Scientists reported today the isolation and identification of the chemical used by the female sugar beet wirev/orm to lure males to love-making,, They said it opened up possibilities for a new trap-bait for fighting this major agricultural pest. Researchers Martin Jacobson and Charles Harding of the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Beltsyille, Md. Research station, and Charles E. Lilly of* Canada's Department of agriculture at Lethbridge, Alberta, reported the finding in today's issue of the technical journal Science, They said the sex-lure chemical had been identified as valeric acid - whicfcis also readily available in the chemical indus- ^Industrially, the acid is derived from such sources as petroleum distillates. • It is employed in various kinds of organic syntheses. •_ In laboratory tests, the researchers said, "intense sexual excitement" was stimulated in- inale wireworms when dilute solutions of the extracted chemical were deployed in the laboratory. In field tests, males were lured from distancesofalmost 40 feet when samples oftheiove chemical were exposed toy the air. Indicating efforts would now be made io put the finding to practical use, the scientists said the stability, volatility, and ready availability of valeric acid from industrial sources make it a potentially valuable material for surveying for infestations of the insect. It also could be used as a bait in traps for population control, they said. DRIVE CAREFULLY!

Packers are determined to get more from retailers for carcasses that yield more lean cuts and less waste. "If we can't merchandise the carcasses for more, we'll make -more use of breaking and fabricating facilities to help us sell cutability," said E. A.

New takes the place of several pieses of farm equip* ment and provides other benefits • Minimum tillage reduces soil compaction • Higher germination, stronger seedling growth • \tess soil erosion and moisture loss • Better physical condition of soil • All add up to higher yield and profits Did you ev.er wonder, as you^cr-ba^-and-forth across the same field with several different kind? of farm machinery, if there isn't'a better way of working the soil? Well, there IS a better way--it's the new "one pass farming" concept made possible by Howard Rotavator. The new Rotavator not only saves wear ajjd tear on the operator--it makes farming with the traditional plow, disc, harrow, and cultivator about as obsolete as open-pollinated corn. The Rotavator's unique "slice-loosen-mix" action makes the perfect seedbed in one pass across the field. Besides saving the purchase cost of old-fashioned farm tools, your crop production costs are cut about 20%. "Once over in the spring and it's done" means valuable time saved in cold, wet weather; And you can do custom work in the time saved for even more profit. Sizes and models for every farm and crop.
