Some of the Christmas lights were on full time last year, while others didn’t light at all. Each and every decoration is checked for working bulbs and replacements made before they go up on the poles each year, so we are certain that the problem lies in the

Letters to the editor

Wawasee HS band is first class

Dear Editor: On Saturday, Oct. 3, the Wawasee High School Marching Warrior Band went to the district marching contest at Concord High School. Needless to say, we went with the anticipation of a first division rating. We had a great show put together. All of us gave a 100 percent and we sounded and looked better than ever! When it came time for the awards, we found out we missed a first division rating by a half point. That was a disappointment! We worked so hard on this show and many of us expected a first division rating this year. A big thank you goes out to Mr.

Listening to insects munch

By SEAN ADAMS J.C. Webb isn’t a physician, but you can often see him examining his patients with a stethoscope. Dr. Webb is a U.S. Department of Agriculture engineer, and his patients are nuts, fruits and grain. Sometimes these agricultural products are infested with insect larvae that makes sounds as they eat. You can’t hear the chewing with your ear, but Webb can hear it with his stethoscope. He amplifies the sounds through a loudspeaker, and stores them in a computer to be analyzed. It’s an experimental system Webb began developing several years ago, and it may provide a new way for scientists to tell if produce is infested with insects. A system ready for commercial use may be a few years away, said Webb, with USDA’s Agricultural Research Service in Gainesville, Fla. Today there is no practical method to tell if produce is infested with munching larvae without damaging it. To check a grapefruit, for example, an inspector has to cut it open and examine the pulp under a magnifying glass — destroying the fruit in the process. “With our system, you can rule out an infestation in seconds and you don’t have to ruin the fruit,” Webb said.

On the shores of Lake Wawasee in the Municipal Park of Syracuse, a memorial was dedicated as a tribute to the American Indian. The dedication marked the centennial of the? time when Miami Indian Chieftans turned over their final tracts of land to Federal Land Commissioners. This photo, loaned to us by John Sudlow, was on the front page of the September 23,1937, Indiana Journal, a fore-runner of the present day The Mail-Journal. The photo was taken by Florin Reinbold. The dedication of the memorial was during the

The system is so sensitive that he’s been able to hear, in a few seconds, the movements of a single one-day-old maggot in a grapefruit. It has quickly and reliably detected Caribbean fruit fly larvae in grapefruit, papaya, loquat and guava fruit. Inspectors need away to detect fruit fly and other larvae inside U.S. agricultural products that are exposed, since some countries fear the insects will spread in infested fruit, nuts, grains or other commodities. In the past, commodities such as grapefruits were fumigated with/the chemical ethylene dibromide to kill larvae. But

several years ago the federal government banned the use of EDB, so shippers are looking for alternatives. Webb.said the system will help evaluate the effectiveness of new treatments for killing insect larvae. And if it is commercially feasible, it could replace chemicals or other treatments because shippers would be able to destroy infested fruit and ship only insect-free produce. If that happens, the stethoscope will become as helpful in U.S. agriculture and foreign trade as it is in modern medicine. (Agricultural Research Service. U.S. Department of Agriculture)
