tracted and concentrated the INSECTS
from the surrounding weeds. The
infested fields were usually either
poorly titled and weedy or surround,
ed by neglected, weedy areas. There
We're notable examples in the center
of this district of well-tiIled fields of
sweet corn with clean surroundings in
which injury was negligible.
The menace to the corn crop of the
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-growing
areas and that where single-brooded it
infiicts no injury even on small types
of corn; and that good culture III
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 $500 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 500 square miles, and the area
of known infestation Is constantly ex-
panding as the survey proceeds; and
over limited area in Erie county,
Pennsylvania.
In view of this known wide distribu-
ton and the possibility that it Ray ex-
list in numerous other localities, and
in view, also, of the large number of
plants on which 1t feeds, the depart
ment of agriculture realizes that ex-
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 insect in different regions,
and the possibilities of practical con-
troll or determination within small
areas For this purpose, congress has
been asked to make an appropriation
of 100000.

RAISING WINTER EGG LAYERS
Chicks Should Be Hatched In March
If They Are of General Purpose
Breeds-GiVe Best Care.

"Pullets intended to produce winter
eggs should be Matched in March if
they are of the general purpose
breeds" says Prof. L. 1T. Schwartz of
Purdue university. 'Leghorns mature
little sooner and need not be Matched
until April. The pullets should be
given every advantage during spring,
summer and fall, receiving the best
of feed and water and should always
have access to shade Adequate VEN
tilation in the house in which they
are kept is essential, and the bullets
should not be overcrowded. Each one
requires at least four square feet of
floor space"

Under average normal conditions
a mature horse will drink from 10

a mature beef animal about the same,
while dairy COWS that are milking
heavily will consume from Il to 10

from one to six quarts of water per

PRACTICE OF FILLING SIL0S
Fair Grade of SiIage Can Be Made by
Running in Liberal Supply of
Water With Fodder.

The practice of filling silos with dry
corn fodder through the winter months
after they have been emptied of their
first supply is becoming quite common
in some sections. BY running a liberal
supply of water in with the dry fodder
and packing 1t very thoroughly in the
silo q very fair grade of silage can be
made in this way, especially If the
ears are left on the corn. 1t is neces-
sary in following this practice to take
especial pains in packing the material
in the silo, otherwise a great deal of
it will spoil.

smaller than those of the chicken hen,

an item OF S10O55 on the books OF

it was paid to the I. w. Nv. has been
widely heralded as evidence that the
organization was used in the steel
trust campaign against unionism.
The following official statement
on the matter has been issued by
Roy A. Brown: 1.-The Industrial
