 CORN BOXER REAL PERIL
 The European corn borer undoubt ediv is a serious menace to American agriculture. The United States de- partment of agriculture has for some time called attention to the extreme danger from this pest which has be- come well esta blished in both Massa- chusetts and New York. The state commissioners of agriculture state entomologists and others went over the corn fields around Schenectady, N. Y. and Boston, Mass, and saw the methods of destruction practiced by the United States department of agri- culture and the sta te agencies, togeth- CT with the damage caused by the borer.
 The commissioners of agriculture returned to their states convinced of the reality of the peril and of the nec- essity of unifying all efforts to pro tect the farmers of the country from a destructive insect that may quickly spread over very large areas unless most energetic control work is done on a large scale.
