(CRANBERRIES Photo) BEEZY'S NOTES * A Report on our Company's New Insecticide Our new insecticide 2,3 Biotha- nol-4,5, Reaminenol-2, Entsecenol- 5, Willkillyouall now is being sold at your local dealers under the sinrplified trade name of 2, 3-4, 5-2-5 BREW. Brew has a comparable toxicity to mamallia of two Brenguns fired simultaneously at close range. Mode of action of the insecticide is also apparently quite similar to that of the Brenguns — cell nu- clei are immediately stimulated and ejected from the cell with a propulsive force which truly leaves the affected mamallian as but a shell of its fornver self. Unfortunately, members of the order Insecta are unaffected by the primary action of Brew — but reaction to secondary forces ap- parently stimulates fantastic growth. Recently, Dr. oethe of our research staff was stepped on by one of our test ants, and had to be counted a total loss. Because of unfavorable public reaction, our company has decided to change the name of BREW to WERB and sell it to insects as a mammalicide aimed at eliminat- ing human pests.

(Continued from Pace 1 ) er was very favorable for comple- tion of the crop in Massachusetts. Color, size and keeping quality re- ported near average. Frost dam- age was unusually light and the harvest was completed about mid- October, somewhat earlier than usual. Losses in screening are re- ported as heavier than usual as considerable soft rot followed the heavy rains of mid-August. Production for the entire country is now estimated at 1,049,300 bar- rels, three percent above the 1954 crop of 1,018,500, 25 percent above the 10-year average of 838,840, but 13 percent below the record of '53 of 1,202,300. New Jersey estimates remain the same, 96,000 barrels; Wisconsin the same as earlier ex- pectations, 315,000 barels which exceeds all previous records. Crop in Washington is now esti- mated at 47.300 barrels, a reduc- tion of 18,100 from estimate of Oc- tober first. Lateness of the season and the early fall frost resulted in smaller berries than were expect- ed, report declares. Also worm damage was I'eported. The Oregon estimate is also down by 1,500 from October to 31,000. Elaven
