ton who are now cooperating in an
effort to control ian insect which is
credited with doing the damage.
They contend that all such pests can
be controlled and they believe that
in forest management they have
means to the end sought. II the
birch is to- be saved it must not be
opened to the sunlight by thinning
too heavily, they say. The problem
is being attacked from other angles,
but the work is hampered by the
lack of funds and workers.
This insect not only destroys the
white birch under forest conditions,
but it is the deadly foe as we'll OF
ornamental birches of cities and
towns. Birch was originally "a promi-
nent tree in the Twin Cities and
around Minnetonka, it is stated.
Then came the borer, lover of the
warm corners and sun-shiny places.
The birches in the open yards and
spaces were particularly inviting.
Once infested they were doomed to
die in a few years. Gradually the
white birch has been disappearing
from yards and parks because in
such settings it is short lived
although it's ancestral stock flour
ished in all it's beauty for 200 and
even 800 years.
The borer kills by girdling. The
conductive system of the tree be-
tween the roots and crown is severed.
1t can obtain neither raw food from
the soil nor the finished food from
its crown. Because the borer is a
sun lover, the white brick in its ma
tive habitat in dense forests stands
is practically immune to damage
And because the logger opened up
the Minnesota forest to harvest the
pine, and the balsam, fir and the
spruce succumbed under the attack
Of the budworm, the white birch sas
exposed and in it's turn is dying.
This condition is noted particularly
in Koochiching county, where the
balsam and spruce have been nearly
wiped out and the birch left in the
open without natural defenses.
The adult borer-a slender black
bronze beetle about half an inch in
length-appears in June and feeds
en- the tender leaves and enjoys
sun baths on the bark of the birch
The females lay their eggs in crew

ices of the bark of small birches,
each egg being firmly glued to the
wood. The larvae, minute creamy
white worms, bore out of the under
side of the eggs and spend the re-
mainder of the summer in the region
between the bark and the wood. Wy
tall, when the larvae are fuil-grown,
they bore into the wood short dis
lance and hollow out little cells
where they spend the winter in solid
comfort. In the spring they trans
form to pupae ana in June, as re-
lated, the adult beetles emerge
through holes which they make in the
bark.

BULBS WORTH
S5.Q0Q,000

NEW YORK, Sept. SO.-Holland's
shipments of tulip bulbs to this
country for the current year will
total nearly $1,000 900 in value. ac-
cording to an estimate yesterday by
officials of the American Diamond
Line. whose freighters. running be-
tween New York. Antwerp and
Rotterdam, have the bulk of the
bulb-carrying trade.
During the last few months, four
freighters of the line have brought
$4,000 cases, while three more ships
are en- route to New York with TO-
900 cases aboard. The bulb move
ment ends this month, and by that
time the line will have handled So
900 cases, according to the esti-
mate.
Most of the shipments are tulip
bulbs. although few narcissus
bulbs for nurseries are included.
Last year the bulb growers of Hol-
land were notified that narcissus
bulbs would be faced with an en-
barge, due to parasites. After many
conferences between American bulb
distributors and the Department of
Agriculture a ruling was made that
allows the importation of limited
quantity of narcissus bulbs. These
are admitted for nurseries but not
for general distribution to individ-
ual planters.

test the jurisdiction of the Juvenile
Court

the District Supreme Court through
writ of habeas corpus, that court
holding that it did not have
authority over minors in criminal
cases. This is disputed by the dis
trict attorneys office. to the extent
that the Supreme Court may exer-
else jurisdiction over minors charged
