Super Gear Shift Opens Vast Motor Speed Range
A complex gear shift with 11 011 speeds goes into operation in California to control electric motors testing pumps for the Colorado River Aqueduct. The device, claimed to be one of the most intricate ever built, uses more than a score of toothed gears with four shift levels, settable in ten positions, delivering pump speeds from 0.5 to 5 000 revolutions per minute. A new stratosphere balloon is also being built in Soviet Russia.

Summer Range For Growing Chickens
A study from the Dominion Experimental Station at Lethbridge Alberta shows clean summer range, unused by poultry for two years or more, as a simple effective method to control diseases and parasites in growing stock. Three ranges are used once every third year to keep parasite levels near zero, with dry, well drained land seeded to alfalfa and brome grass. Where green feed is scarce, annual crops like wheat or oats provide usable summer feed.

Parasite Found Aims To End Grasshopper Plague
University of Town zoologists announced a parasite that targets grasshoppers, potentially curbing the plague they cause. Dr E H Siifer first observed it in mal pighian tubes in 1983, with further work by Dr R King and Dr A B Taylor showing the parasite is fatal to grasshoppers and multiplies rapidly. The parasite spreads only through contaminated food and does not affect other insects or humans.
