HELP CONTROL
CORN BORER
Board of Agriculture Urges
Farmers to Cooperate

l.. II. Healey, secretary Of the State
Board of Agriculture, has sent out
mailing cards urging the cooperation
of farmers in controlling the spread
of the corn borer. On one side of the
card are eolored pictures showing the
destruction wrought by the pest in
ears of corn and in corn stalks. This
is an emphatic illustrated lesson that
it needs but glance to learn.
The other side of the card carries
the following:
European Corn Borer
The European Corn Borer (pyra-
usta nihilalis) is known to be present
in thirty-five towns in the vicinity CT
Boston, Massachusetts, and in two
widely separated areas in New York
State. 1t has also been found in
small area around Milford Connecti-
cut. 1t has spread rapidly and there
is general belief that it may soon
be found in other states. For that
reason every one is urged to cooper
ate in the control of this pest.
Life History
This insect winters over as a cater
pillar in cornstalks and some of the
larger weeds. About the middle of
May it pupates and energies as a
moth, which lays large number of
eggs. sometimes as many as 700. The
eaterpillars from these eggs feed up
on early corn and weeds and do con-
siderable damage. About the last of
July these caterpillars pupate, and
early in August another generation of
moths appears. These lay their eggs
| (this time about 900l on corn and
weeds principally eorn), and do a
vast amount of damage. feeding on
the stalks and ears of corn. One cat
erpillar which is present in the old
| cornstalk or weed in the early spring
may be responsible for $4,000 bor-
ers up to the first of September 1t
is this caterpillar, or borer, that pass
es the winter in the eornstalks and
large garden weeds, such as pigweed,
ragweed, barnyard grass and other
thiek-stemmed plants.

Dublin Jan oo-{By the Associated
Press s).-The Sim Fein parliament pro
vided only one-day sensation. Its mem
bers held brief meeting at the Mansion
house this afternoon, but behind closed
doors Afterwards Count Plunkett told
reporters that a statement of the busi-
ness transacted would be furnished to
the press later A group Of hundred
young men gathered outside during the
secret session, but no excitement was
shown.
The public was far more interested in
the murder Of two policemen In I1ppe-
rary yesterday. at the time the parlia-
ment was meeting. This IS taken to sig
nifty the beginning of a new period Of
terrorism. which veteran Irish politicians
expect will include other assassinations
and attempts to destroy government
buildings and public works.
The extremists are exceedingly anx-
ious To get explosives. Two policemen
were guarding a cartload of gelignitc,
when they were surrounded by masked
men The policemen were shot dead and
the explosives carried off.
The immediate sequel was a prociama-
tion placing Tipperary under the crimes
act which means j regime much like the
Occur led German cities are undergoing.
All meetings are prohibited and nobody
can pass in or ont ofthe district without
permits. None Of the residents may be
outdoors after Z O'Clock without per
nit No letters may pass in or out with
out censorship. Enough troops. were
quickly sent into the district to enforce
these regulations,
The Glare district was recently pro-
claimed under the crimes act and the
measure was enforced with apparent
success.
According to the provisional constitu
tinn Of the Irish republic now before the
'DaiI Eireann," legislative powers are to
be vested in delegates from each parlia-
mcntary constituency. The ministry will
consist of president and four executive
secretaries of finance. home af-
fairs, foreign and national defense. All
revenues will be raised On the vote of

a!tho the government might not lose
anything because Of the maximum wheat

muneratiye basis next year. but he could
make no forecast.
The problem of the farmers and the
stock raiscrs, the secretary continued IS
to develop economical farm methods, so
as to get the maximum development on
business basis from the soil and tho
range.
Mr.. Houston urged an elastic classifi-
cation Of the public lands, SO as to make
them aviable for grazing purposes under
the permit system, similar to that used
in the national forests. Administration
of the grazing permits, he said. should
be in the hands Of the department of
agriculture. altho the title to the lands
should remain in the interior depart-
