 STU ALTON SERIOUS
Local Committee Planning Campaign -RcdcmptionS Reported As Un-
 usually Excessive Here.

Chairman G. w. Troop of the New Britain committee representing the savings division of the treasury de- partmcnt has practically com pleted a plan for popular buying of thrift stamps and saving certificates which will hc put into operation early in July.
 Postmaster William F. Delaney, the post office department official New Britain authority, has expressed grave concern at the local situation, re- demptionS being particularly eXces- sive. Last year New Britain did ex- cellent work in taking up the gov ernment'S savings stamp issue, but sales have fallen off materially in the last six months, nevertheless the sale of savings stamps and certificates is relied upon by the treasury depart ment to supply a large part of the governments financial needs and will be continued as a permanent part of the governments fiscal policy. Secretary of the Treasury Garter Glass on June 12 issued the following statement to federal reserve district directors, 'We'Ve got to borrow more money to meet our obligations. To get that money we must sell more savings stamps and certificates
 The purpose of the 1919 campaign is by savings to increase the indus trial resources on which the country's prosperity depends and by accumu- lating savings to increase the security and independence of the worker.
 The total sales in the United States in 1918 reached nearly s1,00O,00 0,000 ,rIo T o,,Jr for this year is even higher. Due in part to poor economic conditions New Britain is not up to her proper place among Connecticut cities as far as the per capita sale of government savings certificates is concerned and an ef- fort is now being made by the state and local committees to improve the relative standing in New Britain's favor,

BOREES FOUND ON
 LOCAL GARDENS
Deadly Insects Were Found Today On Lyons Street Gardcns-SpecimcnS
 Sent For Inspection.

The presence of more than 50 bor- CTS was found today in some adjoining gardens on Lyon street, the first com plaint being made by George Duncan, Whc has a garden on that street. Sweet corn and potatoes were the principal food crops attacked. They were also found on dahlias and hollyhocks. It is not thought to be the European corn borer as the description seems to be somewhat different Their injury is very severe as the plants die a short while after being infected. It is the duty of everyone owning a garden to be on a sharp lookout for this pest and help prevent it from spreading.
 How to locate borer: The larva bores a little hole into the main stem about IS inch in diameter usually near the nodes causing the very top of the leaves to droop and dry up, and finally the entire plant dies. It seems as if they first feed on the inside of the sheath later boring tunnels into the pit of the stalks. Wherever a plant is found with the very top leaves dropping and drying up, you can make sure that the plant is infected.
 Control measure: From the fact that most of the damage is done in the pit and the larva being protected by the outer leaves, it is evident that it must be controlled In some way other than the use of insecticides Probably the best method for control and prevention is the destruction of weeds and all infected plants by burn ing.
 Brief description of borer is: It is about one inch long, dark brown with LI.- IL-a ter one running the entire length. The head is flat and very light in color.
 Specimens were sent to pr. w. E. Britton, state entomo mologist of the Con- necticut Agricultural Experiment sta tion, at New Haven by A. Holmquist, chamber of commerce garden superin- tendent today.
