dred eggs are deposited by each fe-
male, usually on stalks and leaves
open to air and sunlight. Although
the voracious young caterpillars have
preference for ears of growing corn,
they are willing to feed on stalks of
celery, young beans, beets and nearly
two hundred kinds of other plants,
including chrysanthemums and dah-
lias.
The theory that the moths are
blown across Lake Erie from Canada
into Ohio has been pretty well sub
stantiated. The moth itself has very
feeble power of flight, not more than
two or three miles at low speed,
but stiff wind will carry the insect
many miles. 1t is found also that
after falling into the water the moth
under certain conditions may again
rise and proceed in its enforced
flight.
The menace of the corn borer is a
serious matter. Effective methods OF
protection against it are yet to be
found. In Europe the best remedy
discovered so far is the use Of para
sites which kill the insect OF sterilize
its eggs; but even this plan fails to
exterminate the corn borer.

Studying Foreign Soils.

Results OF the visit to European
countries of DR.. CURTIS F. MARBUT
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture, who goes abroad to
make study of soil conditions, will
be awaited with interest.
One OF the purposes OF his trip is
to learn whether there is any marked
difference between the soils Of the
great wheat growing districts of Rus
sia and Rumania and the land of our
own Northwestern States chiefly the
Dakotas Parts of Germany. France.
Poland and southern England have
been ikened to parts of Maryland,
Pennsylvania and Ohio in the matter
of soil and crop production. DR..
MARBUT will make an analysis of the
foreign conditions and report on the
results achieved by agriculturists
in the districts he visits.
His researches will embrace Italy
and Greece, where crops have been
grown continuously for two thousand
years on land that is rarely il ever
fertilized and, has been without the
benefit of much live stock farming.
The famous English experiment sta
tion at Rothamstead, where as much
as forty bushels of wheat to the acre
is reported as having been produced,
will o1co he yicifad
The American commissioner will
have an opportunity to compare notes
on soil fertility with the best of the
foreign experts at convention in
Prague. When that is concluded
samples Of soil from every country
in Europe will be obtained in the hope
that correlation may be established
in soil work with foreign nations. II
is planned to arrange for the adop-
tion of a common terminology in
describing soils and soil problems.

BOBBY. BEsLER's RECITAL.
Many Small CHILDREN In Audience
Mt Town Hall.

Many children, some very tiny, wero
in the audience at Town Hall yesterday
afternoon when Miss Bobby Besler
gave her annual costume recital of
songs for young and grown up chill
dren"
The children came with their adult
escorts in groups small and large. AT
the back of the hall and up in some Of
the boxes were large numbers of them,
of varying ages and sizes, who had
come from different institutions Of the
city.
Some of the little people prefaced the
entertainment by sucking lolly pops and
some cried or went to sleep while the
entertainment was going on. Miss
Bobby" with Miss Elinor Everitt at
the piano, gave many songs by different
writer's They were grouped as songs
of practice hour" songs from the
South" "songs from old France" Songs
about lots OF things and '.cautionary
tales" Mana Zuccas "My Sore Thumb"
and Dirty Face" were sung and so
were Leoni's Brownies and Leh-
manns "Rebecca-Who Slammed Doors
for Fun and Pcrished Miserably" and
Henry King-Who Chewed Little
Pieces OF String and Was Early Cut
Off in Agonies." (Here the singer,
dressed in Kate Greenway costume,
really sobbed).
Miss Bobby's made up appearance and
limitations of little girl in the practice
hour group was especially good and
at one time she even hoisted herself
up and used the piano top for seat
while she sang. The program, which
was given for the Wellesley College
semi-centennial fund. was very warmly
applauded throughout.

The New Broom Makes Trouble.

Clean sweeping is the traditional
virtue of the new broom; on the
other hand, the spread of the Euro
pean corn borer must be charged
against It. That pest was first dis
covered in the United States in 1917.
and investigation has shown that IL
came here from Europe in bales OF
broom corn.
A survey made in 1920 revealed
an infested area covering eastern
Massachusetts, another in New York
extending across Albany and Scho-
harie counties and third in the
extreme western part OF the State.
This last area OF infection now cx-
tends along the lake shore clear
across the State OF Ohio. The cnto-
mologists of the Department of Agri.
culture believe that the corn borcr
crossed Lake Erie from Canada to
invade northern Ohio.
The corn borer is the grub or cater.
pillar OF a small yellow.whitc moth
about an inch in spread OF wings.
The wings OF the female are trav.
ersed by faint smoky colored lines.
The male moth is slightly smaller
than the female. brownish in color.
with yellow spots on his wings.
There arc two generations each year
and an AVERAGE of nearly FIVE hun.

Some Activities Of the Successors
OF Henry Bergh.

From the Annual Report Of the A. s. r. @. A.
The usual supervision was maintained
over the horse markets. agents being
present on all sales days to inspect the
horses offered at auction. More than
condemned as being unfit for service
were mercifully destroyed.
One hundred and twenty-five con-
demned police and fire horses were
transferred to the custody of the So
ciety and placed in good homes or hui
namely dispatched. as their condition
warranted. Since the enactment OF the
law making this disposition OF these
faithful city servants ASS department
horses have been provided for by the
society.
The great majority of the Lis cases
prosecuted were for driving horses that
we're painfully lame or had sores chafed
By the harness. Acts OF cruelty out OF
the ordinary do occur, however, as the
following cases prosecuted by the So
cicty's agents during the past year Will
show
A woman circus and vaudeville per-
former was apprehendod for keeping
six performing lions in shipping boxes
In the rear of a poorly ventilated ga
rage on the west side OF the city. The
animals had not been released from
the narrow confines OF their quarters, In
which they could not turn around. for
number OF weeks. The owner was
required to remove the lions 10 an cx-
orcising cage. and after her conviction
and on payment of the fine imposed by
the court she took the animals 10
another State.
Several persons have been prosecuted
and fined for keeping dogs on short
chains and for exposing dogs 10 the in
clcmency Of the weather.
number OF peddlers have been con-
victcd OF selling chamccons, a form Of

Medical Journal Merger.
The New Paper VIII Follow a Policy

To THE New York HERALD The con-
solidation OF the Medical Record with

as stated BY one of your correspondents.
The two viii be printed under the name

Again the statement that this combi-
nation means the end OF independent

for In fact the union enormously
strengthens independent medical Journal

On a Lip Stick.

Oh, perfumed protective!
Oh. carmine corrective.
oh, thwarter of love and devotion!
How now can fond passion
Contend with fashion
That's sweeping the land like an ocean
You plump down before her
And swear you adore her.
And pour out your love TO Priscilla;
But seek then to seal 1t,
You merely CONCEAL 1t
With tallow and oil of vanilla!
Was ever a stupid
The equal Of Cupid
To let such a fad grip the lasses?
He'll lose his position
AS master magician
And have to start calcimine classes!

The last German opera performance
OF the season at the Metropolitan Opera
House took place last evening when
Tristan und Isolde" was given. Mme.
Florence Easton was the Isolde. she
had sung the work before at the Metro-
politan and with great success. put
never had she sung it better than sne
did last evening. Tier voice was III
excellent state and she evidently was
impressed with the significance or the
occasion. She sang with deep feeling.
with repression. with that finer emotion
which expresses itself without violence
and without stridency OF tone. IL was
fine and finished performance that
she gave, albeit lacking something OF
the heroic proportions which have beea
long associated with the part.
Mr. Sembach, who was the Tristan,
was far less able to supply heroic illu-
sion. and his singing, conventionally
good. did nothing important toward put
ting communicative vitality to his con-
tribution to the evenings interest. Nine.
Julia Claussen sang Brdngdehe in a
style which would have won her much
praise in Dusseldorf or Hanover. but
effaced no memories associated with the
Metropolitan.

Argentina's Turf Hero Dead.

South America suffered a great loss
in the recent death Of the young
horse Botafogo, thoroughbred
which excelled anything in the way
of racehorse in the Argentine quite
as much as Man o. War excelled all
other racchorses in this country dur.
ing his campaigns in 1919 and 1920.
Botafogo's career on the turf was
much like that OF Man o War in
that he suffered a single defeat out
OF nineteen starts, only to run away
from the victor, Gray Fox, when the
pair were matched for another race
later in the season. This was when
the colt was a three-year-old. The
circumstances surrounding the defeat
of the South American champion de-
yeloped scandal the echoes of which
are still heard in and around the
home Of the Jockey Club in the city
of Buenos Aires.
There was the same dissatisfaction
in this country when Upset beat Man
o. War for the Saratoga Special in
1919, and il the American turf has
had more unsatisfactory race 1t is
not on the records. 1t was the only
time the son of Fair Play was ever
beaten, and he showed his superior
ity to Upset and all the other horses
Of his own age at. other times in so
pronounced fashion that his single
defeat has never been explained to
the satisfaction of informed students
OF form.
Americans had personal interest
in Botafogo, for his dam, the imported
mare Korea by Raeburn, was owned
in this country for time. She won
several races before going TO the
stud of Major THOMAS J. CARSON.
formerly OF Kentucky but now OF
Mississippi. who sold her in South
America along with others from his
Dixiana Stud at the time OF the dras-
tic anti-racing legislation which we'll
nigh annihilated blood stock breed
ing in the United States in the years
between 1905 and 1912.
Old Man, the sire OF the dead cham.
pion, was grandson Of Bend Or
whose descendants have been doing
big things on tho turf In every land
under the sun for more than a gener.
alton. Botafogo was looked upon as
worthy of carrying on the traditions
or the family in the stud. There are
n number OF fine sires in the Argen
tine possessing strains OF the same
remarkable blood. Tracery by Rock
Sand out OF Topiary by Orme has II
in abundance and SO has the dis
tinguished Craganour by Desmond
out OF veneration II. by Laveno
which finished first in the English
Derby Of 1913, but was put back fol
