European Corn Borer

Frank H. Dudley, State hOrticul-
turist, says that the European corn
borer, one of the deadliest pests
known, has made it's appearance in
Maine, having within a month been
found on the farm of w. Pickering at

The European corn borer is not

to $1.800,000, but it also preys on
about 60 other host plants. so that the

The second brood is the most de-

1T is positive fact that Maine
next year must place a quarantine on
the infected area to prevent it's spread

of such kind that some doubt ex-
lists whether the license should be
continued or. not" continued Capt.
Bagley.
Certain of these homes improve
and are ranked higher as time goes
on. Others do not measure up to a
reasonable standard of child care and
are given special attention or the
license is revoked.
