Now the chemists of the Department Of

and sought to make milk sugar sweeter after

The lactose, or milk sugar, has very i'm

Because of these unattractive characteristics,

Beating the Corn Borer

ONE way to rid oneself Of an unwanted visitor
is to provide no place for the visitor to
stay, and, following out this inhosptabe line
of reasoning, the Department of Agriculture
has worked out method of successful battle
against the European corn borer
Usual practice on farms, when cutting corn
for shredding or ensilining, is to the stalks
about five or six inches from the ground This
is due, of course to the fact that the cutting
blades on the mechanical cutters don't go any
lower. These stubbles left in the field offer a
haven to the larvae of the next seasons crop
of horers. The experts of the Bureau of Roads
have worked out new device which cuts the
stalks at ground level, and which can be at
tached at small cost to the average binder

argentina as Competitor

A MERICANS have become SO accustomed to
hearing that the United States is engaged
in serious competition with European nations
for the trade of South America that they are
prone to look on South American trade as a
one-way sort of affair.
The casual observer has vague sort of no.
ton that, t. pay for these imports, the South
American countries produce precious metals
and various raw materials that enter into little
or no competition with the United States
1t is little startling, then, to find that
Argentina has stepped out and entered into q
direct competition with this country and bids
fair to take away one Of the markets for one
OF the leading industries of this country-beef
production.
Statistics gathered by the Department of
Commerce indicate that Argentine beef has
gradually become standard in Great Britain.
and that goody portion of the roast beef
of Old England" now comes from below the
Equator.
The best grade of Argentine steer beef en-
bodies all the characteristics that the British
like in their beef, and the consumption has in
creased until now the South American repub-
lie is exporting $4,000 tons of beef annually.
by far the greater part being chilled beef of q
higher grade, the output of the "frigorihcos,"
which are fairly recent development.
Cattle raising has become one Of the leading
industries of Argentina, as is shown by the
fact that the annual production ranges from
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-09-08

$780, 900 to $500 100000 The increased de-
mand has brought about a corresponding in
crease in quality of the beef cattle, until now.
of the 34.0O0000 steers on the ranges, fully one
half are of the short-horn variety.
Conditions have changed somewhat and
while the demand for Argentine cattle is great.
it is not so insistent as few years ago. and
quality and economical production are now the
paramount questions.
