Forgotten Cash
Seeks Local Owner
There is only one thing more
exciting than finding a gold
mine—one finding you. Noth
ing can be as thrilling as re
ceiving a bundle of unexpected
joy in the form of a wad of
cash from some forgotten ca
che. This is the prospect fac
ing one-time local residents—if
they can be found. They’re the
object of a search by Tracers
Co. of America, a national or
ganization with headquarters in
New York City and whose
specialty is finding all sorts of
missing people as well as long
lost heirs to fortunes, lost
funds, etc.
Right now. they are seeking
about 25,000 missing stockhold
ers in the U.S. and Canada and
more than $17 million is wait
ing for them. It is in dormant
funds being held by banks, cor
porations. trustees and receiv
ers. Some is in the form of un
claimed dividends but part re
presents the redeemable value
of old stock cerificates that had
been forgotten by the rightful
owners. If any of the owners
are dead, the unclaimed funds
will be paid to their heirs up
on presentation of proper and
legal proof.
Here are the names and last
known addresses on the list of
soughtafter stockholders in
this area:

Somebody may know some
fat ’these persons, Tracers Co.
says, and if so, the company
should be supplied any avail
able information about them.
The company's address is Trac

Pillsbury, horticulturist with
the Cooperative Extension Ser
vice of the University of Alas
ka. You should be on the look
out for aphids from now on,
| he said.
Aphids, or plant lice as they
are commonly called, are sap
suckers that drink up the fluid
of the plant. They also trans
mit virus diseases from plant to
plant. They are hard to find be
cause they often cling to the
underside of a leaf to feed.
Many aphids are green, which
makes them tough to spot. too.
Favorite foods for the aphids
include turnips, tomatoes, peas,
delphinium, and birch. They go
for cabbages, strawberries,
green onions, lettuce, endive
and celery too, Pillsbury said.
Aphids can be controlled
with insecticides, however.
Both malathion and nicotine
sulfate will do the job. Mala
thion is usually a better bet be
cause nicotine sulfate is not
very effective unless the tem
perature is 70 degrees or more.
Don’t apply insecticides just
before you harvest your vege
tables, Pillsbury warned. “It’s
the bugs you want to poison,
not yourself!” So, be sure to
read the instructions on any in
secticide you use and follow
the directions.
Malathion can be applied
either as a dust or a spray, he
said. A four or five percent
malathion dust is satisfactory.
Be sure to dust the stems and
both sides of the leaves, the
horticulturist e*jid.
If you prefer a malathion
spray, use a 50 percent emul
sion and mix four teaspoons to
each gallon of water.
Plants can become infested
with aphids again because
some aphids fly. So, it’s a good
practice to spray or dust for
aphids every 10 days or so, as
long as you find any around.
