from the surrounding weeds. The
infested fields were usually either
poorly titled and weedy or surround
ed by neglected, weedy areas. There
were notable examples in the center
of this district of well-tilled fields OF
sweet corn with clean surroundings In
which injury was negligible.
The menace to the corn crop OF me
country, then, is minimized by the
slight susceptibility of common corn
to borer attacks; by the practical GER
tainty that the insect will be single
brooded over the main corn-growlns
areas and that where slngle-brooded 1t
,inflicts no injury even ON small types
of corn; and that good culture In
clean surroundings appears to be con-
troll measure.
Where Borer Is Known to Occur.
The European corn borer Is now
known to occur over the entire coastal
region of Massachusetts, including
Cape Cod and adjacent islands, and
over several towns in southern New
Hampshire, approximately 1880 square
miles; in New York, in the Mohawk
valley between Amsterdam and Al
bany, about 500 square miles; in
western New York, over an area of
at least 800 square miles, and the area
of known infestaton is constantly eX-
panding as the survey proceeds; ana
over n limited area in Erie county,
Pennsylvania.
In view of this known wide distribu-
ton and the possibility that it may .eX-
ist in numerous other localities, anu
in view, ALSO of the large number OF
nlants on which it feeds, the depart
ment of agriculture realizes that eN'
termination of the corn borer is out OF
the question except perhaps in limited
areas of intensive production and that
the problem now is to determine the
areas infested, the economic impor-
lance of the insectin different regions,
and the possibilities of practical COLI
troll or determination within small
areas. For this purpose, congress has
been asked to make an appropriation :
of 100000. >..

rule, are normal. Even when the
larvae enter the ears, the injury is
certainly not greater than that caused
by the ordinary corn ear worm, which
is reckoned at about Z per cent by
weight of the kernels Of each ear at
tackled. The presence of corn borer
larvae in ears of sweet corn has not
in any case prevented the sale of the
corn and, in most instances, it has been
sold at the ordinary market price.
AS a result of the past seasons in
vestigations, the department believes
that the corn b0rer 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.
+ The only kinds of corn that have
been shown to be damaged to any'ap-
preciable extent by corn borer are
sweet corn and the dwarf flint varie-
ties. The few fields Of common field
corn (dent) grown in the invaded area
in Massachusetts, both by farmers and
as a part Of the departments expert
ments, were practically free from in
festation. In the large area in west
ern New York, determined last fair
to be infested, and where it is be-
lieved the infestation is of ten years
standing, large-stalked corn is com
monty grown. 1t was so scantily in
tested that discovery of the insect in
most fields was possible only by the
most intensive search.
AS a singe-brooded insect, the corn
borer Is negligible factor, even in
the production of sweet corn and the
dwarf varieties. 1t is single-brooded
insect in New York, and, by fair infer
ence, will be single-brOOded through
out the northern portions of the corn
belt. In New York, where the insect
has presumably been present for nine
or ten years, a great deal both of
sweet corn and flint corn are grown,
and no appreciate injury was suf-
fered.
There is, apparently, a possibility
of cultural control. The only place
where appreciate injury has resulted
from the corn borer is the trucking and
small garden district Immediately
around Boston, where the truckers
have universally complained of a short
age Of labor. There has been very
general neglect Of weed growth along
roadWayS, on waste land and even in
home and truck gardens. The insect

Mosquitoes Hate Light.

It has been shown that the malaria
bearing mosquito does not stay In
well-lighted house or modern hospital,
says the Medical Record. Clean, bare
walls and ceilings, large windows and
little furniture do not attract it. On
the contrary, it selects cottages or old
fashioned houses, where the rooms are
"stuffy" and hot, ill-lighted, ill-venti-
lated, with dark recesses, cupboards,
old curtains and much furniture. In
such q place the mosquito is altogether
at home, and if there is restricted liv-
ing or sleeping accommodation infec-
ton is very likely to be carried from
the malaria carrier to the susceptible
person.
