music to life, artistically and educa-
tionally, speaking at length on the

untold good to be derived therefrom

1t should be remembered that in
france great number of parties ex-
lSt and find representation in the
national assembly. These parties stand
for specific policies of government and
while there arc many alliances among
them, they have an individual vitality
of political activity in the national
assembly. Whether the great size of
the country means that we shall al
ways have two great parties whose
policy in general will be rather SINH
lar one to the other is a question
which cannot be answered History
seems to indicate that it will continue
as long as our methods of political
activity are as they are now consti-
tuted.
8. What has been the fate of
third parties in the United States?
How have they been useful?
Answer: Small third parties have
played very important part in the
history of the United States although
not one has ever risen to the dignity
of a major party. They have come
into being usually to represent some
minority class interest and have often
maintained an existence during sew
eral campaigns The populist party
lived for generation While minor
parties have seldom attained any con-
siderable power their principles have
often become in time a part of the
law of the land. For example,
great number of the principles and
reforms proposed in 1888 and 1892 by
the populist party have since become
policies of one of the major parties
and have been enacted into law. In
a real sense, then, the third party is
very healthy manifestation of politi-
cal action.
On Tuesday afternoon the league
desy being free an informal gathering
was held at the home of the presi-
dent for all members. Mrs. Lund read
some extracts from the National Bull
letin in which the Douglas league had
mention and Mrs. Rex. Rice outlined
the early history of Texas, using some
of Mrs. Frank FisI1's notes, who was
prevented from attending by her
teaching on that afternoon. This his
torical outline had been planned as a
background for Mrs Rice'S regular
study eof Santa Anna in connection
with the history of Mexico being car
ried on in Mrs. Boyre's unit. Every
body. present enjoyed the brief glimpse
of these vivid days in Texas and felt
stimulated to further reading. Tea
was served at 4 and number OF
women from the various units had a
get-together. Twenty-Five m m b er S

MIGRATORY BIRD SEASON
 CHANGES ARE CONSIDERED

The continental-wid migratory bird survey started last fall under the auspices of the United States Ri- ological Survey has attracted wide in terest, and $500 volunteers are en- rolled in making the count in widely different localities, according to Paul c. Redington, chief of the Biological Survey, who is now on his way to the westward to investigate conditions there. Reports from Alaska, he said, in statement given to the Juneau Empire recently, will be especially valuable, and information collected will be of service in any revision that may be made in the international mi gratory bird convention when it ex- pires in 1881.
 The Alaska Game Commission, MT. Redington said, had recommended when such revision is made that the opening date, now September l, for the hunting of migratory birds be ad- vanced to August 15. The season here is shirt, and it seems well estab lished that the supply will not be af- fected by advancing the date. Yukon Territory and Northern British Co., lumbia desire similar change.
 There is an active interest being taken by sportsmen and their organ izations in the survey, MT. Redington said. Last month 1,460 observers made reports, and during the fall months this number will be largely increased.
 Already much information of de- cided value has been assembled. We have mapped North America with ap- propriate shadings, showing the bird movement according to the various seasons of the year. Over period of four or five years we are going to learn a good deal more about ducks than has ever been known in the past. We will get data that will accurately guide us along the regulatory path in the future," MT. Redington said.
 Among other things, the survey is attempting to determine whether crows ond gulis, and predatory ami mals, are making serious inroads on the breeding grounds. An expedition is being sent into Northern Ontario to investigate reports of serious dep- relations by great fiocks of crows. In Alaska a study is in progress of the damage reported from the inroads of numerous coyotes. To certain de- gree these reports have been sub- stantiated in some areas by an official investigator. Once definite knowl edge is at hand, the several Federal and State authorities can arrive at a program of combating the menaces discovered, MT. Redington said.

THE LONDON DAILY MAIL
 CHRONICLES. HAPPENINGS
 IN YEAR TWO THOUSAND

A fine piece of imaginative report ing has been accomplished by the London Daily News with publication of a full 24-page newspape- dated January 1, 2OOO, says the Linotype Bulletin.
 The paper contains an interesting guess of what will be news at the turn of the next century, TeleVision, death rays, super~speedy-- -busses,, ten milesa minute airplanes, crashproof lingerie for the air traveller, and scores of other extraordinary things make up the news la Jules Verne in the Daily Mail for4t the first day of the twenty first. century,,
 There was a fire in Regent Street ia the afternoon of December 3f, 7a9a, and the. reporter covering it writes:
 'The air fire squad (No. 2b sec- tioh) flew from its headquarters in Hyde Park and poured down anti freo from it's chemical extinguishers. Little damage was done.
 The paper announces. Registered readers of the Daily Mail will shortly be .ocereed special -services'in con nection with their televisors. which will he modified to transmit seaside scenes, sounds and ozoaes."
 One of the reporters visited the high speed college in Sutherlandshire and saw the students playing games during their school hours and learn ing their lessons while they slept.

THE MENACE OF THE CORN
BORER
Ernest N. Cory, State Entomologist
College Park, Md.

Ernest N. Cory, State Entomologist

The near approach of the Euro
pean corn borer to Maryland makes
it essential that every man in the
State should familiarize himself with
the pest. That word everyone" is
used advisedly because, regardless of
what ones occupation is, be it farm
err, merchant or banker, anything
that menaces the corn crop, which is
the back bone of Maryland agricul-
ture, demands his fullest attention.
The percentage of destruction in the
corn field may run to total loss
where the infestation is allowed to
build up without restraint. The in
jury may be in stock or ears, or
both, when the festation is heavy
The larvae burrow in the pith of
the stalk, and when numerous, cause
the stalk to break over and prevent
the formation OF fully developed
ears. In addition, the larvae may
burrow through the ears or at the
point where they are attached to the
stalk Both field corn and sugar
corn are injured. and where the in
festation is heavy truck crops and
: weeds are quite likely to be infested.
The infestation to the north Of
Maryland is single brooded, and it
would seem that Maryland IS more
likely to be infested first from that
source rather than from the two
pFooded area in Northern New Jer-
sey. The larvae winter over in the
stubble, pupating in the spring, and
the moths emerge and begin egglay-
ing about the 18th of June, The
most effective control measures
should, therefore, be directed toward
the destruction Of larvae In the
stalks and stuhble, Low cutting,
shredding and ensiling OF the fodder,
followed by the complete blowing
down Of all stubble prior to May I,
offers the best hope for the control
of the pest. Some notifications of
agricultural practices in State may
become necessary but the main de-
pendence for control should center
about the measures outlined above.
Detailed Information in regard to
life history and control measures
will be published by the Extension
Service in bulletin form during the
present winter.
