The Corn Borer' S Verdu71

STATE that has suffered as Georgia
~ has from the ravages% of the boil wee
vii should be interested in the pres
ent anxieties of the West over another for
eign insect invasion, that of the European
corn borer. SO serious is it's menace that
eighty scientists, including entomologists,
sgronomists, and other specialists in agri-
cultural problems, are modifying their forces
for vigorous drive in northern Ohio, which
now appears to be the crucial front. Among
their munitions and allies will be fifty thou
sand parasite foes of the corn bandits, i'm
ported especially for this campaign. These
to prey upon the borer's young, for which
they are said to have a voracious appetite.
Meanwhile, the scientists, reinforced by
county agricultural agents, will do frst-hand
educational work, visiting every township in
the threatened region and as many farms as
possible, to give practical instruction in
If effective, the campaign will save the coun-
try billions of dollars of farm wealth and
will rebound to the benefit of almost every
business interest.
No more undesirable immigrant ever
tered America than the borer. 1t is
supposed to have come from middle or
southern Europe in shipments of broom corn
Some six years ago it was found attacking
crops of sweet corn in eastern Massachusetts
and in the neighborhood of Schenectady New
York Westward it crept until last year it
was observed in southern Michigan and
northern Ohio, making steadily for that re-
gion which is to Americas production of
corn what the South is to cotton. No Won
der that Illinois, though two hundred miles
from the enemys present outposts, is plan
ming to cooperate literally the Ohio
front, or that Canadians also are making
common cause with Americans.
In terse and accurate description Science
Service describes the corn borer as appear
ing in the autumn lin the form of a brown
ish caterpillar or worm about an inch Ions
which has been tunnelng into the plant"
There it hibernates LAS soon as warm
weather begins in April or May, the borer
becomes active again and about the middle
of May it cuts a small circular opening from
its tunnel to the surface of the plant in or
der to provide an exit for the future moth.
1t then closes this hole with thin partition
OF silk and goes back into its dugout gallery
where it spins a thin cocoon. About the
first week of June, the borer energies as a
moth which can cover as much as four hun
dred yaUts in a nonstop flight and travel
anywhere from five to ten miles The fe-
male moth usually lays her nearly fat little
eggs in clusters on the under side of leaf.
The young borer, Matched from these eggs,
eats for awhile on the leaves, and then starts
digging itself into cornstaln-, corncobs,
weeds. or other plants, where it completes
most of its development, incidentally injuring
the plant. The corn borer attacks all parts
of the plant. and while it prefers corn and
sorghum there are some two hundred species
of plants which it is known to attack The
most successful method of setting rid OF
this pest has been found to be the destruc-

I believe in persons. That to me is tn

me; that is, to make me kind, honest, AN
brave. This kind of belief is the only kin
Jesus talked about. He continually urge
folks to believe in" Him or believe on
Him; not to believe this or that fact
Religion is matter OF character, not
