Info May Lead to New Insecticides LINCOLN Some new basic Information on how an Insect's body functions may give the key to manufacture of safer phos phate insecticides, a University of Nebraska entomologist vc ports. Dr. Harold J. Ball, associate professor of entomology at the College of Agriculture, says re search by University of Wiscon sin scientists indicates the find ings help explain "selectivity" of various chemicals why the chemicals are more dangerous to insects than to humans and livestock, or vice-versa. An explanation of selectivity might allow chemists to build new insecticides which are more powerful yet safer than the on es we now have. The research at Wisconsin sug gets that some selectivity a gainst insects Is due to a "weak link" in the chemical's struc ture. This Is a part of the chem ical which mammalian enzymes can work on rapidly, but which resists the action of insect en zymes. The Wisconsin entomologists have been able to build other weak links into potential Insec ticide chemicals in the labora tory making them much safer for humans and livestock with out lessening their Insect-killing powers. Malathion is an example of a selective insecticide. It's extre mely poisonous to insects but relatively safe for humans and livestock. The study at Wisconsin points out that malathion's selectivity is due to differences in the en zymes of insects and mammals. Certain enzymes in mammal tissues can break down the poi son to non-poinsonous products more rapidly than insects enzy mes can. That means more poi son reaches the insect's ner vous system and it stays effec tive in the body for a longer time. The "weak link" theory also helps explain why malathion be comes more dangerous to mam mals when it's mixed with an other insecticide called EPN. The EPN blocks the enzyme in the mammal which usually de stroys malathion. This prevents breakdown of the malathion and so the mammal becomes as sus ceptible as the Insect. Some phosphate insecticides are selective mammallcldes more poisonous to mammals than to insects. After several years of testing, one manufac turing company has just rejec ted one chemical for this reas on. The Wisconsin Research sug gests a simple 5-minute test to tell whether a proposed new ma terial is likely to have this de fect. This can often save industry millions of dollars in develop ment costs for chemicals which must be discarded eventually be cause of high toxicity for mam mals and poor insect killing pow ers. The Wisconsin research giv es a principle which can pre vent much of the difficulty by merely examining the chemical formula of a proposed poison. Trappers are In the Bucks LINCOLN According to a re cent survey of active trappers, a total of 112,261 furs, including such bounty species as bobcat, coyote, and fox, were harvest ed in Nebraska last season Muskrats led the parade with 83,294 pelts, comprising 74.2 per cent of the total fur harvest.

Subscribe to The Journal Now I Formers: Don't Lose SS Credit Thru Oversight Some farmer are losing soc ial security credit by not report ing their earnings, according to A. J. Piccolo, field representative of the Lincoln social security office. This may mean loss of benefits to a farmer's family If he dies or loss of his own retire ment benefits. A farmer who has a profit ol $400.00 or more in a year Is re quired to file a return and pay social security taxes. This re turn must be filed even though the farmer may have no Income tax to pay. And if a farmer does not have a $400.00 net profit for the year, but has a gross farm Income, of 600.00 or more, he can elect to report his farm In come for social security credit purposes. Farmers wno nave neglected to report earnings for social sec. urity credit may still do so for 1958 or any later years. Mr. Pic. colo stated that any farmer who should or wants to report earn ings from self - employment should get In touch with the soc ial security office or internal re venue service.
