EXTENSION NEWS
AND NOTES
Is the lumber sound? How
good is the roof? How about the
electrical wiring and heating
plant? Is the site a suitable one?
Questions like these are bound
to arise when a family considers
buying a house in Alaska. Lots
of discusison no doubt will take
place before the rented dwelling
is vacated and the shift is made
to the new home.
To help in answering some of
the questions, the University of
Alaska Extension Service has is
sued a new bulletin (No. 805),
titled “Suggestions for Buying
a House.” Agricultural Engineer
Clarence I. Branton authored the
12-page publication.
Bad News For Bugs
Alaskans fret a lot about the
pesky mosquitoes, but many
other insects are ready to do
damage in many ways.
As noted in a new University
of Alaska circular (No. 452) “Bad
News for Bugs,” there are grass
hoppers, wireworms, root mag
gots to plague the farmer and
gardener, among others. Indoors,
mites, cockroaches, silverfish,
clothes moths and firebrats are
always on the prowl.
The leaflet, written by Ente
mologist Richard H. Washburn,
lists the most useful insect con
trol * chemicals and tells what
each is good for. There are scale
drawings of the major Alaska
pests. A dilution table provides
simplified information on how to
prepare spray mixtures.

publications, visit your local Ex
