FOREIGN PLANT
ENEMIES CAUGHT

The United States Department Of
Agriculture the other day stopped q
shipment OF foreign broom corn at
New York. 1t came from Venice
and was infested with the European
corn borer. Inspectors OF the Fed
eral Horticultural Board intercepted
and prevented a further scattering
Of the corn borer over the country.
That was just before the Secretary
Of Agriculture promulgated . quar-
antine denying entry to the United
States of theN stalks Of various
plants that serve as hosts to this
pest.
The work OF determining present
distribution of the corn borer Is go
ing forward. 1t Is now known TO
exist In Massachusetts,. New Hamp-
shire, New York and Pennsylvania.
But portions OF the shipment Of
broom corn in which the insect was
originally brought to this country
went to various States besides those
now known to be infested. Efforts
are now being made to trace possi-
BILE infestation through the broom
factories IL has been found that
there age such factories in forty
three States,
