u. S. Battles Grain Moth
From hsectory Near Capital

In an old farmhouse at Sligo, Md,
just outside the District line, the bu-
reau of entomology of the Department
of Agriculture has established head
quarters for finish fight with the most
destructive insect pest local farmers
ever have known.
This is the angoumois grain moth.
whose ravages have cost the wheat
growers of Montgomery county hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in the
past few years. This moth, the oldest
insect pest known in the United States,
makes it's principal forages in the
wheat country Immediately surrounding
the National Capital.
The fight is being conducted by
Perez Simmons and George w. Elling-
ton, who are setting up an insectory
and have a number of field crops under
way at Sligo. They will make the first
exhaustive biological study of the
moth in the hope that some fact will
t4rn up which will make it's defeat
easier.
Attacks Wheat I'm Fields.
The insect first attacks the wheat
after the grain has been thrashed and
placed in storage bins the moth con-
tnues its deadly work, so that often
times the farmer has only empty
has been kept all winter. 1t does al
most no damage in the wheat fields of
the west, but in Maryland, Virginia
and Pennsylvania, due probably to the
greater humidity, it thrives. Mont
gomery county, by the way, Is one of
xu6 TO ~
the United States, considering its size.
Wheat is the chief money crop of the
farmers there.
The grain moth, unlike most insect
pests, was here before the American
revolution and has done more or less
damage ever since. 1t was first re-
ported In Maryland in 1869 and prob
ably was brought originally to South
Carolina by some Huguenot settler.
But in the past two years 1t has be-

before.
Mr.. Simmons was brought to Sligo
from California where he has been
engaged in similar studies.
Study Fruit Pests.
At the same time Dr. E. II. Sieeler
has established headquarters at the
Sligo farmhouse for the study of the
most serious fruit pests of local or
chards. A large number of varieties of
fruit have been planted for this pur-

LETTERS FROM MONTE CARLO. By
Ysobel Roxolo. Boston: The Chris

A pseudonym, of course. Nobody
could manage a real name like this.
However. that is another story. The
matter in hand here has to do
with the beguiling and exciting ex-
lean lady in the wicked resort of
Monte Carlo. The lady gives a
reason-a familiar reason-for the
use Of the pseudonym. Not only is
she concealing herself. but she, by
this device, is also protecting other
great folks. whose names written
right out here would "set off
bomb in the social world" Still.
what is so wicked about it all?
Gambling is natural instinct. going
back to when we dressed in blue
paint and sought chances at the
hands of fearsome and malicious
gods. That, too, is another story.
The one set down here by 9sobel
Roxolo unfolds through series of
clever and sprightly letters that
serve not only to record the personal
adventures of the writer and her
friends. but that serve as well to
describe the games of Monte Carlo
and the various methods and systems
by which men and women have
striven to break the bank, of
Monte Carlo Written primarily TO
amuse a friend, these letters contain
entertainment also for the many
people who wake up suddenly over
any story coming out of this cele-
brated center of the games of chance.

obsession. One day after his exhibi-

remarked to the circus manager.

Nancy noticed a field of loly-pops of

OF course they had to wander

whether they would rather have n

Nancy took a strawberry and Nick
