the stalks in corn field may be in
tested. Over two hundred borers have
been found in the stalks growing IN
one hill of corn. Control is made more
difficult by the fact that the borer
feeds on number of other plants,
including the stalks Of weeds and flow
ers. and may live over winter in grass
roots. 1t is so menacing that the pres
ent agricultural department approprl-
alton bill contains an item of S25O,OoO
for fighting it.
The bureau of entomology, Uniteo
States department of agriculture. has
published descriptions of over 3,ooo
distinct insect pests which are likely
to be introduced into this country ana
cause serious loss. About half OF
these are European insects which feed
upon forest and shade trees and the
rest infest various cultivated crops.
Among the important insects which II
is hoped to exclude from the American
continent are the Mediterranean fruit
f1y, considered by entOmolOgiSts to take
first prize as a destructive fruit pest,
and the pink boil worm of cotton, from
Mexico, which Is capable of making
the best efforts of the cotton boil Wee
vii appear puny in comparison.
The life stories of some of these
pests, as unfolded by years Of study
on the part of patient scientists. are
so amazing as to be classed with fairy
stories by those who are little ac-
quainted with the wonders of nature.
White pine blister rust is an instance.
This parasitic fungus is native to the
old world, attacking the stone pine
and other native five-leaved pines OF
Europe. White pines imported from
Germany, France and Holland, brought
this disease to the United States. prin-
cipaliy in 1908 and 1909. Curiously.
the safety of our white pines depends
entirely on whether we can control the
spread of the disease on currant and
gooseberry bushes. The fungus cam
not go directly from one pine tree to
another but first must spend part of
its life on currant or gooseberry leaves
Cllu III inns stage II mas tliC poNSi VI
spreading rapidly and widely to other
currant and gooseberry bushes. The
fungus then develops another stage by
which it is enabled to pass back to the
pines. If we destroy the currant and
gooseberry bushes we prevent the dis
case from injecting our white pines.
Hence. the salvation of these magnifi-
cent trees depends to a large degree
on whether people are willing to fore
90 the luxury of currant jelly and
gooseberry jam.
The system of inspecting the impor-
tations of foreign nursery stock has
proved Intellectual because the eyesight
of the most competent inspector is not
capable of discovering every insect or
plant disease on every plant. Many
of them. especially fungi. are hidden
under the bark ard are entirely invis-
ible 1t must be remembered that OF
many of these pests we have no con-
ception, based on experience in its ma
tive lana, as to its destructive powers
under American conditions.
The question what shall we do
about 2" has been answered correctly
by the federal embargo, which prohib-
its further importation of plants from
abroad except such as are specifically
sanctioned by the United States de-
partment of agriculture.

titles, consuming trees or entire forests,
cotton. These undesirable citizens
that have made America their adopted
home are insects and plant diseases
which have been introduced from for
eign countries, writes Charles Lathrop
Pack, president American Forestry as
sociation, in American Forestry.
There's pest for every plant Some
plants have more than a thousand in
SectS and fungus diseases which attack
some portion of them, causing death
or injury. However, most of the pests
which attack our plants are native to
America and have natural enemies
which keep them in check
"And all those fleas have little f1eas,
upon their backs to bite 'em.
And those again have lesser fleas,
and so "ad infinitum."
Thus native insects have a host of
Voracious enemies, including birds, an
imals, and other insects, which pre-
serve the balance of nature" The
ravages of native pests seldom become
devastating except occasionally in
small areas and for short time when
conditions become exceedingly favor
able for their rapid propagation.
Hitherto America has maintained
an open door to plant immigrants and,
year after year, destructive insects and
70
try on these plants from abroad. Some
of these pests have found the land of
freedom entirely to their liking. Some
times the climate here has been eX-
ceptionally favorable for their rapid
development, at other times they have
found new food plants. In such cases
they have propagated rapidly because
the balance of nature was no longer
maintained In most cases the fight
against imported plant pests has been
begun too late.
The uncontrolled ravages of the late
blight and rot of potatoes in 1916 was
responsible for the shortage in the po-
tato crop which sent prices soaring.
Powdery scale and scurf are two other
potato diseases which have been
brought in from abroad. More recent
ly. the potato wart disease, establish
ed in Pennsylvania from European i'm
portations, has given cause for alarm.
The Hessian fly, introduced from Eu-
rome in revolutionary times, causes an
average annual loss to the wheat crop
of fifty million dollars, and in some
wears the loss from this one insect has
exceeded one million dollars. The loss
of fruit due to the cooling moth, to-
gether with the money spent in control
ling this insect, costs the United States
about sixteen million dollars year.
Another imported fruit insect, the San
Jose scale, entails loss of at least
ten million dollars annually.
The tale of the gypsy moth, in RI
fald rhyme, illustrates what happens
when an insect reaches the United
States from another country. 10

The chestnut blight is a bark dis
ease which was brought to this coun-
try from the Orient on Japanese chest
nut nursery stock. 1t was first found
on western Long Island in 1904. In
ten years it spread over half of the
chestnut area of the United States and
at the present time it has practically
exterminated the chestnut trees within
a 100-mile radius of New York and is
rapidly accomplishing the complete
ruin of our magnificent chestnut for
ests of the South The loss is many
million dollars and its ultimate end
will be the extinction of one of the
most useful and most profitable Amer
lean forest trees, as no remedy has
been found. Only recently it was
found that a similar disease attacking
the poplars had been imported from
the nurseries of France and had spread
over a wide area of the United States.
Other dangerous pests introduced
from abroad are the Oriental peach
moth, the Japanese beetle, the Euro
pean earwig, the Leopard moth. the
alfalfa weevil, the European eelwOrm.
The European corn borer is pest
which apparently was brought to the
