Little Fly With Big Name
Arrives to Attack in
Hoosier Sector.

"Corn-borer beware, Exeristes Ro-
borator has come"
Such warning should be radioed
to the European pest that is ravag-
ing the northeastern Indiana corn
fields. The corn-borer is no match
for the little fly with the big title.
Exeristes Roborator Is the para
site most effective against the borer.
Like the borer pest, it was imported
from Europe. 1t was welcome, how
ever, and came in first-class passage
and not as stowaway like the
borer.
Thousands of the creatures are
being propagated to fight the oorer
and many are already at work in
Indiana cornflelds, State Entomolo-
gist Frank Wallace said today.
How 1t Works
This parasite operates with un-
canhy knowledge. 1t looks like an
ant with wings, but has a long har-
pooh tail. Lighting on the infested
corn stalk it walks along with ears
cooked to listen to what is going on
within. II, it hears a borer working,
1t shoots the tiny harpoon through
the stalk and lays several dozen
tiny eggs on the back of the busy
borer. Soon these eggs hatch and
the young grow to adults, using the
borer which transported them as
food.
They then seek out hole in the
stalk and take wing, repeating the
process Of their parents by probing
for borers with their long harpoon,
called "avipositor."
Wallace tells a story Of how one
Of the parasites used his avipositor
to tickle a borer to the top of a hole
in the stalk. Each time the worm

Forester Finds old Theory
of Gaining One Each.
Year Is False.
Bn United Press

By Ontted HFeSS
HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. IT,
The old theory that the age of a
rattlesnake can be told by the num-
Der of rings on its rattle is incor-
rect, according to Howard P. Seese,
forest ranger in the Sproul State
forest.
In blasting the theory of the
snakes age he declares that in
stead Of gaining one ring each year
the rattler gains from two to four
The forest ranger declares that
a snake seldom has more than ten
rings on its RATHER because after
they attain that length the vibra-
ton is such that they drop of and
are lost.
1.-THE idea that a rattle snake
cannot give its warning after swim
ming or crawling through wet
grass is incorrect" Seese declared.
Investigation has shown" he
said, that young rattlesnake is
provided with a single button at
birth. Within a few days it sheds
its skin and commences feeding
In two months it sheds it's skin
for the second time, and then the
first ring Of the rattle is uncovered,
or added. This has been growing
under the old skin as its presence
was apparent in the swollen ap-
pearance of the tail at the base Of
the original button. The last seven
or eight vertebrate fuse together
shortly after birth and form a COM
posite bone known as the shaker,
and it is around this bone that
each cap or ring Of the rattle
FORMS"
Seese said that all snakes have
the habit of shedding their skins
one or more times each year. When
the skin is abandoned it comes of
in a single piece Of very thin and
transparent material, generally
turned inside out.

Federal Council Asserts
Gains Exceed Loss Over
20-Year Period.
Rn rinea Snecinl

BIZ times Special
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Stirred by
reports that the churches are suf-
fering severe losses in membership,
tie Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in America today an
nounced figures for twenty-five lead
ing denominations, showing that
they have grown almost fifty per
cent in the last twenty years.
This statement is made, according
70 the Rev. Charles s. Mcfarland,
general secretary Of the federal
council, in response to inquiries as
to the validity of the public an
nouncement accredited to H. K. Car
roll that "the total yearly loss (of
Protestant churcheS), would approx
innate about half a million"
Report Misunderstood
This estimate" said DR.. Mac
farland, "has been misunderstood,
because 1t had to do only with one
side of the picture. 1t made no
reference to the additions OF new
members year by year. For example.
Rev. Frederick l.. Fagley Of the Con-
gregational Commission on Evangel-
ism, was quoted as saying that
about 10000 members are lost from
the rolls of that denomination an
nually, but no mention was made
of the fact that some $4,000 are
added to these rolls each year and
that the percentage of increase In
membership is greater than that OF
the population Of the country. The
fact is that the net result for all
Protestant denominations has been
a gain in membership considerably
in excess of the growth in popula-
ton.
No thoughtful person should over
look the disquieting drift from ac-
tive to inactive membership, to
which DR.. Carroll called attention,
but anyone who thinks this means
that the churches are decreasing in
membership simply does not know
what he is talking about"
Quote Census Bureau
The statement gives statistics from
the United States Census Bureau
and the Handbook of the Churches.
1t says:
1.-The twenty-five principal de-
nominations in the United States
had a growth in total membership
from 18,762943 in 1905 to 23,638,597
in 1916, and to 27,466,47 in 1925.
There was never time in the
history of the country when so many
people belonged to the churches.
From 1906 to 1916, in twenty
principal Protestant denominations,
the net gain in membership was A.
875,654. From 1916 to 1925 the net
gain was e,827,873. This is gain
of 8,703,5 27 during the last twenty
years. In addition to making up all
their losses from death, removal and
other causes, the churches have
made net increase in membership
of aga per cent in twenty years.
During these same twenty years,
the increase in population of the
country was 365. The churches, IN
other words, gained in membership
much faster than the population.

Breed Dying Out; Shorthorns Are
More Profitable.


More Profitable.
BIZ NEA Service
DEVERS, Texas. Sept. 17.-For
three centuries the longhorn
cattle were monarchs of the Texas
range. Today, the only ones still
alive are the few gathered up here
and shipped to a government pre-
serve near Cache, Okla.
There has been a steady decrease
in the number of longhorns during
recent years, since cattlemen found
shorthorns more profitable to raise.
They were dangerous, too, for they
would charge a man on foot and
usually gore him.
The first cattle OF this species,
tradition says, were brought to
Mexico by Cortez. They were best
adapted to the hot desert country
and for many years were the only
cattle in Mexico and Texas.
