The borers cause the most serious
damage by their work in the stalks
and ears. Generally they enter the
stalk at its upper end and near the
base OF the tassel, and at first tunnel
upward. This damage so weakens
the tassel stalk that it breaks and
! falls over before the tassel natures,
resulting in loss of pollen and the
lack of normal grain formation on the
ears.
In July and August many Of the
moths deposit their eggs directly up
on the newly developed ears Of late
corn. The resulting crop of borers
feed at first upon the silk and then
enter the ears directly, where they
feed voraciously upon the grain and
cob. As many as 15-full grown borers
each about an inch long, have been
found feeding upon and within a sing
lie ear of corn. This injury TO the
ear results in its complete destruc
ton. Some idea of this damage may
be gained from the fact that 70 plants
comprising II hills, were selected al
random from a badly infected Massa
chusetts corn field. and all the borers
found therein were carefully removed
and counted Forty-six borers, on al
average, were found in each plant

again makes its demand for a neu.
trail inquiry into the responsibility
for the war and culpable acts in con-
duct. An impartial commission should
have the right to investigate on its
own responsibility the archives of all
| the belligerent countries and all the
persons who took an important part
IN the war. Nothing short of conf
dence that the question of guilt would
be examined dispassionately can
have the peoples lately at war with
each other in the proper frame of
mind for the formation of the league
of nations.
These are only the most important
among the proposals which we have
to make. As regards other great sac
rifices and also as regards the details
the delegation refers to the accom-
panying memorandum and the annex
thereto.
"The time allowed us for the pre-
paration of this memorandum was so
short that it was impossible to treat
all the questions exhaustively. = A
fruitful and Illuminating negotiation
could only take place by means of
oral discussion. This treaty of peace
is to be the greatest achievement of
its kind in all history. There is no
precedent for the conduct Of such
comprehensive negotiations by an ex-
change of written notes only. The
feeling of the peoples who have made
such immense sacrifices makes them
demand that their fate should be de-
eided by an open, unreserved ex-
change of ideas on the principles:
Quite open covenants of peace openly
arrived at, after which there shall be
no private international understand
ings of any kind, but diplomacy shall
proceed anyways frankly in the pub
lie view
Germany is to put her signature
to the treaty laid before her and to
carry it. Even in her need. Justice
for her is too sacred a thing to allow
her to stOop to achieve conditions
which she cannot undertake to carry
out. Treaties of peace signed by the
great powers have, it is true, in the
history of the last decade again and
again proclaimed the right Of the
stronger. But each of these treaties
of peace has been a factor in origi-
mating and prolonging the world war.
Whenever in this war the victor has
spoken to the vanquished, at Brest,
Litovsk, and Bucharest, his words
were but the seeds of future discord.
The lofty aims which our adyersaries
first set before themselves in their
conduct Of the war, the new era Of an
assured peace of justice. demand a
treaty instinct with a different spirit.
Only the cooperation of all ma
tons, cooperation of hands and
spirits, can build up a durable peace. /
We are under no delusions regarding
the strength of the hatred and bitter
ness which this war has engendered,
and yet the forces which are at work
for a union of mankind are stronger
now than ever they were before. The
