Protection Against European Corn
B0rer to he Confined

An announcement was made by the
U. 8. Department of Agriculture on
November Bird which will be OF in-
terest to growers of all varieties OF
corn throughout the State OF Maine.
II will be remembered that announce
ment was made earlier in the sea-
son that the quarantine protection
against the European Corn Borer
which Is prevalent in some sections
of Massachusetts and New Hampshire
would be discontinued with the end OF
this seasons work, this change in the
plans of the Federal Horticultural
Board being made at the suggestion
OF representatives OF large corn grow
ing states in the west which were
threatened by an invasion of the corn
borer pest from the north, it having
made its way across Lake Erie from
the original infestations in Ontario.
Corn growers in the New England
States became very much concerned
over this proposed change in the dis
tribution of Federal work as 1t would
leave large areas not yet infested, and
particularly the State OF Maine, en-
tirely unprotected. At the hearing
before the Horticultural Board held
in Washington on October 18th, Com
missioners A. w. Gilbert Of Massa-
cusetts and +. p. Washburn OF Maine,
together with representatives Of New
Hampshire and Connecticut, as we'll
as Of several market gardeners and
Gamers associations, were present
and presented the claims OF New Eng
land in such manner as to convince
the Board that the present quaran-
tine arrangements should be continu-
ed.
The new arrangements went into
effect on November 18th and involve
continuation Of the control methods
on practically the same basis as dur
ing the past season with modified
quarantine as to the western areas
where the insect produces but one
brood annually and is not consider
ed as dangerous as In the New Eng
land area. 1t is believed that this
work can be carried out with the same
appropriation as in former years,
amounting to $4,000 annually. This
is on the basis OF State cooperation,
assurance of which has been readily
given by all the states concerned.
So far as Is now known there are
no European Corn Borers in Maine,
and while there Is likelihood that the
insect may eventually find its way
across the borders of the State, the
continuance OF this quarantine work
will undoubtedly delay its appearance
and greatly restrict its devastations.

Maine Farmers Can Purchase RxplO.
sfve from q. =. Government

Picric Acid Is a surplus war ex-
plosive. suitable for BLOWING stumps
and rocks. The United s ~. e.
partment OF Agricultural " shin p
ton, D. C. has 12,500.0 900 rnu- avail
able for distribution to stimulate in.
terest in clearing land.
Maine is allotted $4,000 pounds.
This will be held in reserve until
May /, 1922 IL not called for nv that
time the allotment viii be cancelled.
Distribution will be made In each
state thru the Agricultural College
II possible. No land owner will be
SLOWED more than 1000 pounds. The
cooperating agency will secure indi-
vidual orders for picric acid, consoli-
date them into car load lots and for
ward to Bureau of Public Roads Each
carload accompanied by a list OF all
land owners among whom the ship
ment will be distributed. No order
will be accepted for less than mini
mum car load because of prohibitive
freight rates.
The freight rate from Sparta. Wis,
where some OF the picric acid Is
stored will be approximately 3.49c per
pound. The cost of catridgeing, dis
tributing and handling In coopera-
ton with state agency will be 7
cents per pound, making picric acid
cost land owners around Presque Isle
approximately II cents per pound.
A cartridge of picric acid as 1t has
been prepared for distribution weighs
about ounces and is about equal in
strength to an eight ounce cartridge
OF commercial dynamite used for ag-
ricultural blasting.
For stump or rock blasting picric
acid can be used exactly the same as
dynamite except No. cap is used
instead OF No. 6 If using dynamite.
For blasting bitches the electric

tailed information and instructions as
