WAGE WARFARE ON
CORN BORER IN
MICHIGAN, OHIO
BY EDWIN L. HECKLER
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

(OHlVeu TTeSS Quail OOITcSpOIluellC)
LANSING, Mich, July 2S.--A
g., line of battle is being established
along a l7J mile front in Michigan
and around the northwest corner of
Ohio to fight the advance of the
European corn borer toward the
granary of the middle west this sum
mer
Warfare of cntOmologists against
the most destructive agricultural pest
of modern times will be carried ON
with unlimited money and vigor but
Michigan state experts who have
studied the corn borer moth say the
task of stopping its spread appears
to be hopeless. Control methods de-
vclopcd are by no means completely
satisfactory, it is said, and merely
delay spread of the borer. Work is
now beng done i'll government lab
oratories to effect new method of
control.
While ii Is impossible to predict
how long ii will take for the borer
to work its way into Indiana, Hi
uois and Iowa where Il wide infcc
zion might threaten economic sta
bilitv of the entire west, the moths
spread from the east lake shore al
most to the center of Michigan in
five years and last year the quar-
antinc area in this state was
doubled. Similar conditions exist in
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Forty inspectors
Forty government inspectors, as
sisted by state police, will maintain
the quarantine in Michigan this year.
The quarantine line runs from the
southern point of Saginaw Bay to
the Indiana state line. No corn of
any sort or corn fodder is permitted
to pass from the infected area into
the n-quarantincd area. In addi-
tion, squads of inspectors will main
tain watch all summer for appear
ance of the pest i'll territory border
ing the quarantine line. Heavily in
fectcd fields will be burned and
farmers instructed regarding meth
DDS of harvesting corn to SLOW the
infection spread.
1t is impossible to stop additional
because the borer moth will fly sev-
eral miles from one field to an
other, ignoring quarantine lines and
wishes of agricultural authorities
with impunity.
Impossible to Control
1t is impossible to control condi-
tions by iessening the corn acreage
. hos n
corn borers live in 2l2 different
plants when there is no corn in the
vicinity, returning to their natural
habitat as soon as corn growing is
resumed.
1t is now virtually impossible to
grow corn in Essex and Kent coun-
ties in ontario where the Michigan
Infection is said to have originated,
according to \. c. Carton, head of
the state agricultural industry bu-
rcau. and similar condition may
develop in any other section where
the borcr is not controlled.
Congressional appropriations are
being used iii connection with state
funds for the work this year. Plans
are now being made for a more cX-
tcnsivc campaign next year which
will be financed in part by other
middle western states. According to
Carton, appropriation measures will
be introduced in corn belt state leg
islaturcs next winter for the Pur-
pose, backed by the various state
departments of agriculture on the
theory it is more economical to
fight the b0rcr away from home
than to await its advance.

BY LUDWELL DENNY

WASHINGTON, July 20. - The
United States government has de
cided upon Il hands off policy to-
ward the Catholic Mexican dispute,
which it considers an internal Mex
lean affair.
Unless religious property owned
by an American is cOnfiscatcd in u
discriminatory manner or i'll viola
tion of Mexican law, this govern
ment considers it has no right to in
tcrfcrc.
In this connection officials point
holdings in Mexico have been the
property of the nation since 1857.
In cases of American ministers or
priests expelled from Mexico, for
violating the law against alien re-
ligiOus ministers and teachers, this
government intends to confinc it
self, as i'll the past, % diplomatic
Of executing the laws without chal-
longing Mexico's right to pass and
enforce such legislation.
Decree IS Drastic
According to official copies of
the new regulations, against which
Catholics are protesting, the dccrccs
make effective religious limitations
embodied in the Mexican constitu.
tion of 1917, which, in turn, follow
ed the 1877 constitution.
These declare all churches aud
their holdings property of the ma
ton; specify that practicing priests
and ministers must be native Mcx-
leans who are prohibited from all
political activities, including criti-
ciSm of the government and it's laws
prohibit monastic orders and prim.
AIRY schools under religious dlec-
tlon; and assert that churches shall
be limited in use to purposes of wor-
ship, and that no acts of public
worship shall be allowed outside of
churches.
