While the corn borer is a pest to be

that the corn borer was brought to this
country in 1909-10 with importations
Of about 10000 tons of broom corn,
chiefly from Hungary. Some Of this
broom corn was used near Boston and
some In the region In New York where
the insect was first found In that state.
But the bulk of the broom corn went
to st. Louis, Chicago, New Orleans and
other western and southern cities and
was widely distributed to broom fac
tories. A wide dissemination of the
corn borer throughout the Mississippi
valley, therefore, is entirely possible
