EUROPEAN CORN BORER
ON IT'S WAY TO WEST

That the European corn borer
is in this country to stay and
ultimately will infest the corn
belt states. is a conclusion drawn
by Dean w. C. Coffey of the de-
partment of agriculture, Univer-
sity of Minnesota, who recently
toured infested areas in northern
Ohio and Ontario with party of
college men and entomologists.
That this invasion of the borer
will affect corn growing but will
not stop it, is another conclusion
drawn from the study of the pest
by Dean Coffey and his col
leagues.
Infestation in the areas men
toned is increasing year by year
and in parts of Ontario has al
ready reached the commercial
damage stage. Experiment sta
ton men in Ohio and Ontario
are centering their efforts to
check the increase as much as
possible
BY cutting the corn close to
the ground, since the less stubble
there is the fewer the borers
which will emerge as moths the
following spring.
By blowing under all stubble
and stalks.
By cleaning up and burning all
corn stalks and refuse.
By planting early maturing
corn varieties as late as it can
be safely done.
By testing various varieties of
corn for resistance against the
borer.
By propogating and introducing
parasites.
At their conference members
of the party adopted resolutions
recommending the continuance
of quarantine measures as a
means of checking the spread of
the pest, also careful scouting of
areas adjacent to Lake Erie in
order to determine the full ex-
tent of the infestation. Full sup
port for research and quaran-
tine was urged.
While the borer is partial to
corn it can pick up livelihood
off of nearly 200 kinds of plants.
It Injuries corn chiefly by feed
ing upon the pith of the stalk and
shank or in the ear. If the Dor
ers are sufficiently numerous the
pith may be almost entirely con-
sumed, thus leaving the stalk
practically hollow. This cuts off
the food supply of the ear which
becomes more or less chaffy.

| VI had a wonderful time-this after
noon, she said in a tense and trem-
bling voice which made a struggle to
appear normal.
Good" said DeWolfe.
Her hand moved timidly forth and
her soft fingers touched his forehead,
brushing back the hair.
Peter closed his eyes.
She leaned we quietly and with a
little cry hardly audible pressed her
lips to his.
He knew what had happened-the
real Muriel had come up through layer
on layer of tradition, training, pride,
habit, restraint. He only was confused
by his own stupidity in allowing this to
happen.
He sprang up.
Il never did that before. 1 never

hands.
ooh, say, Pm sorry" he began.
Sorry! she said.
"Of course he replied with unnec-
essary GOODNESS. "Of course I'm sorry.
I've allowed you to think"
Muriel's eyes were wide and blazing.
She threw her clenched hands apart
until her arms were outstretched to
their utmost. The freight was upon
her face and Peter could see elemen-
tary passions enough upon it.
you needn't say more,' she almost
screamed, so hat suddenly Peter had
a great distaste for the exposure of
things he did not know had lived in
her. you needn't say more, because
1 know"
"KnOw?" said Peter in a low tone,
as if inviting her to speak more quietly.
"Yes-know. It's her!" she said,
pointing toward the wall where the
deer's heads were hung. II know it's
my brother Eversby. He told you
about her. That's why you came.
That's what you've been thinking
about. My brother was a fool"
Peter raised his hand.

I'm sorry" Peter said again.
The girl came on several PAGES and
leaned forward toward him.
For Gods sake, Peter, keep away
from her. She might like you. OF
u she'd like you. And if she liked

Peter. Yes, l do. 1t has been awful,
though. 1 never want to see you again.
If you will only go while l hate you !"
"Of course" he said.
But she is.
Muriel stopped aghast.
"Well?" he asked.

1t is too awful to believe. If she takes
you in, you will This is all 1 can

"What?"

The door closed after her.

solids stirred up to the surface from
the bottom of some kettle. She greeted
him with a quiet smile and pointed to
the empty chair.
Peter, conscious of his shrewdness,
said exactly what she had said-noth-
ing. He sat down across from her, and
for the benefit of the waitress whom
he could see out Of the corner of his
eye as q black dress and white apron,
he pointed to Brena's steaming choc-
late and nodded. He did not take his
gaze from his companions large dark
Y e which had in them the same look
he had seen once before and which had
made him think of eyes which knew no
death but had been looking out upon
the world for centuries and centuries.
A friend of his had nee advanced the
idea, at a dinner party in New York,
that men and wOmen's souls were new
or old, that some of those present had
been aged through countless residence
in human form back through eras of
history, that others had been created
only a few hundred years ago and that
still others were new souls just out of
the wrapping. Peter recognized as he
looked into this young woman's eyes
that if he, in worldly terms, were "a
half a dozen years older than she, in
fact, she had outlived him in rounds
and rounds of ages.
Her eyes were so compelling that it
was difficult to give attention to the
fact that her c%ountenance had in it a
battling riddle. Her face was long with
a straight and perfect nos below a
forehead which might be considered by
a classicist lacking a good fraction of
an inch in height. She had a full
rounded chin below lips so flexible and
of so warm and rich a moist color that
their thinness was scarcely noticeable.
But there was combined in her fea-
tures, which.taken together were by no
means perfect, a still beauty which
represented the Greek in her, with
some undercurrent of shimmering
chameleon elusiveness.
"You are shocked at my behavior
she said at last, arranging the white
ruffling at her throat as if she pre-
ferred to treat Peters state of mind
casually. Perhaps yoX Z nleasedY'

Are you there?" inquired the opera
tor, using the conventional London
phrase. Right Wait, please
He heard a voice which came out of
distance like a voice which m
nearer through a damp grove of dark
green trees, like an aroma which comes
forward on the wind, until it rose
slowly to its full power. When the
words were distinguishable he knew
that some one was asking for him.
Eyes" said he, for the en-
thralled by the warmth end rhythm of
that voice.

Brena Selcoss had come to find him.
She had taken the initiative; she had
come to London. He did not have to
say, "Who is this?' She had come.
Something, however, in that phrase,
Il must see YOU said with intensity
by that extraordinary woman, about
whom the Benhams knew so little and
perhaps Muriel so much, filled Peter
for the moment with an inexplicable
dread. This sudden chill of self-pres-
~ervation was not founded upon the re-
pulsion of that telephone, Il must see

f%orerunner of the unpleasant, nor vas
it based upon the suspicion which he
had always had when, to use n of his
own phrases, "a man ought to know
that no woman who comes toward n

fact that he gave new credit to Mu-
riel's absurd warning that men who
knew Brena Selcoss disappeared like
broken soap bubbles. The dread that
Peter felt was like q dread communi
Gated by some subtle message in a hui
man voice which expressed some eter-

soul for a second, and then was gone.
He became at once the usual Peter,
thinking quickly, alive to the dangers
of a wOman who would follow a stran-
ger to London, suspicious of her and
above all thoroughly delighted to risk
himself in any tangle she cared to
weave for him.
"Where are your" he said genially.

lean of wealth and family, is urged by
an English comrade in arms, Eversby
Benham, to visit the Benham home and
meet the Englishman's mother and sis

young woman about whom there is an
air of mystery.
CHAPTER II. - Muriel Benham,
Eversby's sister, becomes infatuated
with Peter, but he is interested only
in the mysterious Brena S~elcoss, of
whom he has had only a glimpse.
Muriel urges him to forget her, yarn

him he is in danger Of vanishing
