Improvements to the several Pitts
burgh armories were decided on aft
er an inspection of them by the
State Armory Board, which also
sanctioned erection of armory build
ings in Meadville and Erie. Several
Pittsburgh firms were awarded con-
tracts for work on the Meadville

the citizens of Erie had raised a fund
of $4,000 to partially defray the
cost of erecting the armory in Erie,
where lot at the corner of Prade

free as a location.
Reports of the discovery of in
sects closely resem bling the dreaded
European corn borer which has
lately appeared in New England
have been sent to the State Depart
ment of Agriculture from Erie
county. Specimens are now being
studied in the State laboratories and
examined by Washington experts,
The borer is one of the most costly
of pests and must be eradicated.
There have also been received re-
ports of the discovery of the inn
ported pest known as the japanese
beetle in the Riverton district of
New Jersey. Inspections and tests
are being made by State experts.
Withdrawals of food from cold
storage warehouses this fall will be
closely watched by State officials
who are making studies of the high
cost of living here and at Philadel-
phia and Pittsburgh. The reports
of deposits at the end of September

than usual at this season of the year
and also less activity in storing them
this summer.
Pennsylvania bear hunting sea-
son will open on Wednesday and run
until the fifteenth day of December.
The game code allows one bear to
each individual or three to a camp
and no traps or deadfalls are allow
ed. Bears have not been reported
as very numerous in some of the
northern and central counties where
they were a nuisance last year. The
season for quail, ring-necked pheas-
ants, ruffed grouse and squirrels
opens Monday of next week. The
red squirrel may be shot at any time,
as protection was withdrawn from
it by the last Legislature. The
blackbird season has been under way
since August l and many have been
shot, according to reports coming to
the Game Commission.
Systematic search of potato patches
and farms in the mining and indus
trial centers of Allegheny, Wash
ington, Fayette and Greene ana pa rt
Of Westmoreland counties by agents
of the State Department of Agricul-
ture's plant industry bureau have
failed to discover any signs of the
potato wart which caused such havoc
in the lower anthracite field. The
search was made in cooperation
with Federal inspectors who visited
tracts in West Virginia and Ohio
where it was feared that the wart
had appeared and it is believed that
the pest has been localized in parts
of Carbon, LuZerne and Schuylkill
counties and at four points i'll Cam
brla county. In carrying out the
investigation the State experts not
only examined fields and crops, but
used moving pictures, cards and
posters to bring the dangers of the
wart to the attention of the people.
In the anthracite field the pest ap-
peared mainly among the foreign
ers and such settlements were visited
in the bituminous region and inter-
prefers employed to warn the grow
ers of the hazards they ran in not
following directions and also of the
quarantine plans in event that the
wart appeared.
