Y 1NCLE SAM has undertaken new war with
poison gas as the weapon Of extermina-
ton. The deadly war innovation of the
Germans which added thousands of names to the
casualty lists of all the nations engaged in the
strife, has been introduced into the pursuits of
peace along with hame-throwing machines to
wipe out dread pests that annually cause the loss
Of millions Of dollars in produce. Thus, at the
terrible price of war, science progresses.
The European bOrer, which got into this
country in 1917, is the 'bg bug" enemy against
which the forces Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture arrayed. This grub, which
closely resembles the fat caterpillar that frightens
little girls and timid maiden ladies in the month
of July, is held accountable for the destruction Of
not only corn but Of celery, Swiss chard. green
or string beans, beets, spinach, oats, potatoes
tomatoes, turnips, dahlias, chrysanthemums,
gladiOlus, geraniums, timothy, and even weeds

ragweed, lambs quarters foxtail grass lady's

lane, crab grass, securing rush, panic grass.

It's appetite is cormOrantine. 1t shows no fnical
taste.
But there are two articles Of diet that the
corn borer and like enemies Of mankind do not
rclish-poisOn gas and liquid flame. When these
frghtful weapons Of the late war are directed
against It the farmer scores a 100 per cent VIC
tory. Even the tiny eggs are destroyed by these
modern weapons Of science and whenever one Of
the pests runs afoul of either the gas or the
fame in anti-pest campaigns such as are pic
tured this page, the result to the pest is that
