* " -."^ New Kind of .Pole-Sitter â€" No food, no water, iioihinij for a week â€"that was ihe experience of this cat in Windsor, Ont.. when chased up a hydro pole by dogs recently. The maze "of live overhead wires stopped any attempt to rescue puss from the narrow crossbar 25 feet above ground â€" too dangerous, the hydro ruled. But the ending was a happy one. Coaxed by hunger, the cat finally inched its way through the wires that stopped man, to earth and safety. Id a fashion magazine, ol all flacci, I ran acroii the«« vcriM, bjr â- â-  anonymoui author, which I think will appeal to all fruit growtri who read this column, and maybt tooM el th« rest of you at well. Th« title li A FRUIT GROWER'S WILL aad the veriet go like thii: When I am daad Don't aend m«, pU«M To a pUca with white And aad UttU treee. Put m« in th« orcherd, Two spllta dcap, Whar* the worma come mU And the rootlatt Where the aalta and the actd% The phoaphatea and Um% Will make good apple* At apple-picMnf time. And when pickert come On an autumn day, "That tree'e a good one" la what they'll aay. * * • Down in Tampa, Florida, btigF- fighterg from leven different coun- tirca recently attended the joint ace- •ions of the American Entomolo- gical Society and the Aaiociation ol the Economic Entomologitti. And right now I'd like to say I'm glad I'm not the Mayor of Tampaâ€" not if he had to get off those titles Im. his speech of welcome. • » * But in spite of their mouth filling tags, these scientists came out with •ome interesting facta about the â- ever-ending fight against insects. Here's what one observer reported: ♦ • • Men who study insect control are •omething like plant breeder*. Theirs is a constant battlt to stejr eae step ahead of nature. Now and then nature wins a round. By the time Clinton oats were re- leased, plant breeders had better verities well on the way. But nature eroesed up the research mea wltk lUce 45 rust. Race 45 got her* ahead •( the better oats. * • • So it is with entomologists. Thi* year, the European corn borer woti â-  round. But plant breeder* and mm- tomologists win their rounds, too. It is always a s«*-saw battle. For example, none of the •ntomologist* w*re surprised at report* of DD'T- tksistant flies and mosquitoes. They knew that insects many Uad* kave always built up a resistano* to â- lost poisons. • • * So entomologists and chemist* dared not stop with DDT. They fcept on looking for something fettter. It is well established that many •trains of flies and some moequltoe* kave built up a terrific resistano* to DDT in some areas. For the moment, they can be lien. 41*d with other chemicals whieh kave not been so widely ussd. Nor «**d quit* so long. It takst s*T*ral fanerstion* of txposur* to buiki «p a resistant strain of bug*. ♦ ♦ • But in the Department of Agric- •here laboratories at Belttrilte, Frank H. Babers ha* one strain .ol bpwe-f!i«! tjitt rt'jft th* actJcs of PUT an<i fiv* other chlorinated hy- drocarbon chemlcsli in current u*e â€" 'Mk* llndan* and chtordtne. • ♦ ♦ le it it to be expected flies will become retittant to lindane and the «lk*r chemical* now used. What will we do then? Go hack to th* fly- â- watter? Those resistant flies were bred so entomologists could work toward new killers. And new killers are coming. Already they have been tested, and work fine on flies. It remains to determine their danger to people. * * * One thing will work for sure. En- tomologists at Tampa, Fla., who work with fliet all agree on thit. It it more hnportant than chemical control. Fly control begin* with effective tsnitation. Destroy breeding places. "Fly pr«y«ntk>n is always better," ia th* words of Dr. S. W. Simmons. » • ♦ What about other intcct peat*? Com borart, wir*-wormt, cut- worm*, awect clover weevils, and to onF Do we hav* th* answer yet? The answer ha* to be "No." In corn borer research, it could be said w* have come along far enough to now know how little w* really kaow. * » « Maybe born borer* will build up a r*si*tanc* to DDT like gome flie*. Then w* will have to use something esle. On* thing, however, is sure. No resistance is going to be built up until DDT corn borer control treatments have become a general practice for several corn borer gen- erationa. * * * Maybe by that time something better will come along â€" a new chemical, a resistant strain of corn, or a mechanical method. * * * One new approach appeals to some entomologists fighting plant- eating bugs. That is the use of brand-new chemicals that "translo. cats." Now w* put the bug killer oa the plant. In th* n*w method, yoM us* a bug poison which will be ab- sorbed into the plant. It can go into th* roots or through the leave*. Then it translocoates â€" move* into th* circulation syatem of the plant. The bug Ukes a nip at the plant, or start* to bor* into th* stalk, and he get* a bellyful of poison. * * * But auch a poiaon must not b* harmfel to animals or human*. That it alto one of the problems facing DDT and the chlorinated hydrocar- bont. Enough teste have been made so Kientiat* can tall yoe about how much DDT, chlordan*, lindan* or toxaphene you will find in meat, milk or eggt if animal* arc fed grain *r roughag* treated with a given amount of th* chemical. * « * Bat no one can tell you what happen* to humans who sat such msat, milk or eggs. Thsy know what happens to a rat'* liver If th* rat *att too much DDT. But no one knowi what will happen to you dr to kids that drink too much DDT in milk. Nor when It will happen. Nor how much is too much. * » ♦ There, the Food and Drug Ad- ministration has to operate solely oe th* best opinion that can be mus- tered in the industry â€" and on the thesis, "if it ain't naturally in an apple, it ain't good for you." For example, many research men are loaded with DDT they have ab- sorbed. Probably spray operator* ar*, too. Find a plump research ch«mi*t who has worked with DDT a lot. Gently slice a slab of fatty ti«- tut from him, analyz* it, and you will find DDT, * ♦ ♦ That gives you a rough idea of th* probUm* facing antomologiat*. Chemicals have become vital to con- tinued food production in many casee. These research men have to figure out something that will Idll the buKS and still not hurt the people. And it must be low in ro^t, easy to use. It's some job! mi PY A SixBiTCamc "Was Jo* Louis the Greatest?" is the intriguing title of an article in a recent Colliers Magazine. In it the author attemptsâ€" or at least starts out to attemptâ€" settlement of tthe vexed question of who was the greatest heavyweight of all time. (And, by the way, no men- tion is made of a guy named Sam- son although, according to Cecil b. DeMille's latest opus. Swingin' Sam packed quite a wallop, at that. Still, Samson carried "the differ- ence" openly, in the form of an ass's jawbone or some such, where- as more modern heavies concealed theirs in their mitts.J • â-  ♦ • We said "starts out to attempt" advisedly because, when we get to the end of the piece, we find the question still more or less unsettled. However, the author is a man whose opinion must be respected, even if not accepted, being none other than Gene Tunney, himself a pretty fair sort of leather-peddler and one of the few champions â€" you could count the others on the toes of a timber legâ€" to quit the ring with practically all his earn- ings intact, and his mental eggs unscrambled. Not to keep you too long in sus- pense, Mr. Tunney quickly boils down the "greatest of all" contend- ers to a mere two â€" Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey. And surely it was merely by coincidence that we no- ticed, a couple of weeks after the piece hit the newsstands, that the Brown Bomber and the Manassa Mauler are due to "battle", some time this summer, in a movie en- titled "The Battle of the Century". It wouldn't be that Mr. Tunney â€" and Colliers â€" are sort of bally- hooing that epic in advance, would it? Perish the thought! » 'X » Tunney's method of brushing aside all fighters other than Louis and Dempsey is simple â€" almost too simple. We'll quote just a bit of what he has to say about one of these; "By scratching out 'Black Jack* Johnson too, I'll probably cam the lifelong scorn of a small but vocal coterie which still in- sists that Johnson was the lad who could have leveled Joe Louis. A more or less accurate line on John- ton's real ability can be gleaned from a record book. In three of his outstanding contests, he did not register the effectiveness required of a great champion. • * * Th* three that Gene goes on to cite ar* Johnson's tilts with Tommy Burn*, Stanley Kctchel and Jim Jeffries, pointing out that the first two wer* much too small to b* real contenders, and that Jim Jeff- riei wa* a mere shell of his formar self. But Tunney forgets to men- tion that in those" three engage- ments, in fact in practically every light he «ver had. Jack Johnson was in effect fighting in hand- cuffs. Because of his color, and bscaute of hit out-of-the-ring an- tics, feeling against Jack Johnson ran so high that t^ere are those who believe that never once, in all hit career, did he dar* toâ€" or bother to â€" cut loose with everything he had. ♦ ♦ ♦ "You don't have to take my word word for this apparently arbitrary dismissal of battlers whose names we were brought up to revere," continue* brother Tunney. "And you don't even have to compare written records or refer to excellent treatise* on th* subject. Television has settled the argument definitely. Recently th* coaxial cable moguls hav* diainterred ancient films show- ing every great fight since Jeffries surprised the world by kayoing Bob Fitzsimmons. These flickers, in- stead of supplying thrills and ex- citement, sent spectiit irs into con- vulsion*. They howled at the ridicu- lous-looking pork-and-beaner stan- ces, the windmill swings and Don- ald Duck footwork, not to mention the beefy spare tires flopping over their trunks. Even Jack Johnson, who had a genuine touch of great- ness in him, looks far from im- pressive in his best bouts when compared with the finely developed ring technique and clever footwork ol Dempsey, Louis and others." Gene Tunney is known, not only as a former heavyweight champion, but as something of a Shakespear- ean student as well. We suppose that if he should happen to see some old, scratched-up film taken of John Barrymore back in the days of the silent movies, he would conclude that Jack must have been a lousy Hamlet. Gene never happen- ed to think that film technique inic;ht have improved considerably too with the passage of the years, did he? But no â€" "Television has settled the argument definitely." Tunney describes at great length what he calls "one of the greatest ring battles of all time" â€" the Dempsey-Willard thing at Toledo on July 'Ith, 1919. Tlien, later on. he admits that he wasn't there personally hut" has seen since in movies of the bout." Demp-iey's long-swinging left hook, wiiicli smashed less Willard's cheekbone into fnigmeiits is. in his opinion, one ot "the three m: htiest blows delivered during the last t'lrc' decades of boxing". » * * Now surely â€" although Gene Tunney never condescended to Hiiiigle much with the rude char- acters oi rin^domâ€" somebody must have told him about the very shrewd suynir' Ti, which still per- sists, tliut .) 'K Dempsey, wlien he cut big Wilhu 1 to pieces that swel- tering July (l;iy, was carrying a teeny mite of illegal assistance. Some say tlr.t his bandages had been dipped into concrete which, after water had been poured ov^er. quickly hardened into rocklikc solidity. Dempsey himself has ad- mitted that he had two or three times the legal amount of tape. There's no doubt that Willard took a terrific beating. But if his hand- lers had been as shrewd as those of the present day, we doubt if Dempsey would have flattened him in any three rounds, or even twice that many. ♦ « * Space will not permit us to go much further into Mr. Tunney's •very thought provoking article â€" but it is interesting to note how he goes out of his way to belittle most everything Joe Louis did and the majority of the opponents he fought. This is htw he finishes the piece; "The answer to whether or not Joe Louis was the greatest ever gets down to what one thinks about Dempsey. For if Dempsey was not, surely Joe Louis was." • * * Tunney leaves little doubt in the reader's mind that his vote would be for the Manassa Mauler, if it came to a vote. Provoking the thought that, as he wrote those words, perchance Mr. Tunney might have been just toying with the idea, "1 wonder if anybody will remember the lad who licked Jack Dempsey not once, but twice in a row â€" a Jad by, the name of Tun- ney." * » * Still, it's a fine article and one one well worth reading in its en- tirety, if you can manage to get hold of it. Still, it leaves us per- sonally as convit>ced as ever that Joe Louis, at his best, would have licked Jack Dempsey, at tops. .Mso that Jack Johnson. AT HIS BEST AND WITH THE HANDCUFFS OFF, would have beaten both Dempsey and Louis â€" with Gene Tunney tossed in for good meas- ure. Iceberg Census An "iceberg census" of the Baffin Bay region has been taken by aerial photography. It turns out that in the 1949 survey there were 40. ''.12 ice- bergs in the region. These bergs later may become a menace to ship- ping in the Atlantic. Hundreds of spotted icebergs will disintegrate on the 2,000-mile trip before reach- ing the shipping lane. Others will not. Danger from these to ocean vessels^n the usual routes to Eur- ope is reduced to a minimum by the iceberg patrol of the Coast Guard. Honey and Hank •• Classified Advertisings.
