Borers Do Most Damage by Their Work in Stalks and Ears

shell. This injury cuts Off the supply
of nutriment from the developing ear
and greatly weakens the stalk, which
eventually breaks over. Some of the
partly grown bGrers leave the stalk
and enter the ears through the huSks,
and also through the stem and cob.
Eggs Laid in Summer.
In July and August many of the
moths deposit their eggs directly upon
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 vOra-
ciously upon the grain and cob. As
many as 10 full-grown borers, each
about an inch long, have been found
feeding upon and within a single ear
of corn. This extensive injury to the
ear results in its complete destruction.
Some idea of this damage may be
gained from the fact that rs plants,
comprising II hills, were selected at
random from badly infested MasSa-
chusetts corn field, and all the borers
found therein were carefully removed
and counted. Forty-six borers, on an
average, were found in each plant
while one of the plants contained III
bOrers. One hill consisting of four
plants contained 81 borers. At the
average rate of 46 borers a plant, an
acre of corn could contain over mil
lion of these pests.
Although the female moths of the
European corn bOrer are capable of
flight, and may extend gradually the
present limit of the pest by natural
spread, the chief danger of the coun-
try's corn crop lies in the possibility
that such plant material infested
by the insects may be transported
throughout the country and start other
sources of infestation. In order to
combat this danger it will be necessary
strictly to enforce all federal and state
guarantees, prohibiting the transpor
tatiGn out of the infested area of all
plants or plant products likely to be
infested by the borers.
A most effective method of destroy
ing the European corn borer is to burn
all of the previous years corn stalks,
corn stubble, crop remnants and stalks
of garden plants, weeds and larger
grasses that may contain the over
wintering bOrers. This must be done
during the late fall, winter and early
spring, while the borers are hiding in
such material. Infested plants may
also be disposed of when practicable
by feeding them to live stock or by
burying them in manure or compost
heap. 1t should be clearly understood
that each and every plant likely to be
infested must be destroyed. This in
cludes the stubble and upper part of
the roots. Occasionally plants or parts
OF plants which may seem hardly
worth the trouble to clean up are like
ly to harbor enough borers to give rise,
by the end of the season, to as many
insects as were present before the
cleanup operations began.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The European corn bOrer threatens
the future of Americas greatest crop.
This pest plies his trade with the in
dustry Of beaver to the extent that
he is the most dangerous plant pest
that has yet immigrated from foreign
fields to the corn lands of Uncle Sam.
The larvae, or bOrers, hungry as half
starved rats, tunnel through all parts
of the corn plant excepting the roots,
and destroy or severely injure the ears
and stalks. That their diet may have
variety they also attack celery, Swiss
chard, beans, beets, spinach, oats, po-
tatoes, tomatoes, turnips, as well as
dahlias, chrysanthemums, gladiOlas,
geraniums, timothy, other grasses and
weeds. Two generations occur each
year, so that multiplication and spread
are rapid, especially as few are de-
stroyed by natural enemies.
Specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, in Farmers
American corn by the presence of the
European corn borer in eastern Massa-
chusetts. They surmise that the pest
was introduced in raw hemp imported
from Europe for use in Massachusetts
cordage factories, or possibly in bales
Of broom corn imported by factories
in central New York. There are 80
towns in Massachusetts, including an
area of about 800 square miles, infest-
ed with the insect, which has been con-
fined to the limits of it's original infec-
ton except for an outbreak discovered
in January in the vicinity of Schenec-
tady, N. Y, covering an area of ap-
proXimately 400 square miles.
How the Borer Works.
The larvae, or borers, tunnel through
all parts of the corn plant except the
fibrous roots. They cause the most
serious damage by their work in the
stalks and ears, which they partially
or totally destroy. Generally they en-
ter the stalk at its upper end and negr
the base of the tassel, and at first tun-
mel upward. This damage so weakens
the tassel stalk that it breaks over be-
fore the tassel natures, resulting in
loss of pollen and the lack of normal
grain formation on the ears. These
broken tassels, with extensions of saw
dust-like material at the breaks, are
the most conspicuous signs of infesta-
ton in the field. Field counts in badly
infested areas have shown as many as
60 per cent of the tasSelS broken over
in this manner. After destroying the
tassel the borers tunnel downward
through the stalk, gradually increasing
the size of their tunnels as they de-
velOp. Instead of entering the stalk
near the tassel many of the borers en-
ter between the leaf sheath and stalk
at a point lower down, and tunnel up
ward or downward according to their
individual preferences. When several
or many borers are working within the
same stalk it soon is reduced to mere

READ CRITICALLY.
BY H. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
Copyright, l919.)


ANY book that is worth reading at
all is forth reading critically. That
is to say. it should be read with
mind alert to its beauties and its
ugliness, its excellences and its i'm
perfections, it's truths and its errors.
Or, as pnrased by the admora BILE
James Bryce:
one should read in a searching
testing spirit. Our spirit ought. no
doubt. to be respectful to the author
of the book. if he happens to be a
well informed man. But respect is
not the same thing as submission.
IRIS apl.eS to the reading of every
kind of book-even to the reading OF
the lightest of so-called light fic-
ton"
For if we read such fiction only for
the sake of the story it tells, If We
gallop alons intent merely on keep
ing up with its plot, certain unfor-
tunate things may happen to our
mind.
We are lik ely. all too likely. to get
into the habit of reading books other
than fiction m a similar hasty, su-
perficial. unreflective wav.
We are likei: to weakt our power
of discriminating between the
worthy and the worthless in Itera-
ture.
And what is perhaps worst of all.
we are likely 10 develop chronic
ultra-su ggestible mood. causing us to
accept automatically whatever ideas,
good or bad. we encounter on a
printed page.
The result will be to loosen our
hold on reality. to leave US without
definite life-direction. to send us
drifting on the ocean of existence
like a ship without a rudder
re n L q
the plight wherein good many of
US actually find ourselves. And the
responsibility for this rests not a
little with the bad reading habits
widespread in the world today.
To be sure. if we do make it rule
to read all books critically, there are
any number of books with which we
we shall quickly become impatient
and cast aside unfinished
Books that do not ring true to life,
books that teach pernicious doctrines.
books utterly devoid of Intellectual
or ethical or esthetical stimulus
books such as these will not long
claim our attention.
Rubbish" will be our contemptu-
our verdict. And to the rubbish heap
they will be neutrality-suspicious.
iterally-consigned
This will not be any loss to US. On
the contrary, we shall be the gamers.
For now we shall have more time to
profit from the reading of books
which. read in the searching. testing
spirit, will make us more apprecia-
tive of the beauties, the joys and the
possibilities of life.
Aye. and that will directly aid us
to a greater efficiency in the manage
ment of our personal affairs. Every
book that enlarges the personality
by that much adds to our ability to
deal adequately with the problems
which day by day press upon US for
solution.
Thus, it is not question solely of
reading worthwhile books. 1t is also
and always question of reading
worthwhile books in a worth-w lille
way. This is the thing which so
many overlook, to their lasting loss.

Mr.. Harper said it is not his desire
to have the project go forward as
that of any one association. but a

It is understood that some of the

have picked out sites to suggest to
