Mass Meeting Tomorrow

What promises to be one of the largest and most interesting mass ever held in the town hall will be held tomorrow night, when farmers and business men of New Britain. Berlin and vicinity will meet to discuss the corn borcr There will be several speakers from the federal depart ment of agriculture as well as others from the county farm bureau to "N- plain and discuss the cdiCt. The department. in attempt ing to confnc the corn borcr 10 this part of Connecticut. has admitted that there is very little that can be done in relieving the situation, It will be remembered last year that there was one spot in town where the borcr was found. Due to this the town was quarantincd.
 That the matter is ot state and even national interest became ap- parent today when another meeting, almost identical with the one being called in Berlin for tomorrow night was called to be held in Orange next Wednesday afternoon at the Orange Center school. Moving pictures will be shown in an effort to teach those who are interested how the combat against the corn borer is being waged. The announcement states that New Haven and Hartford counties have been producers and growers of some of the best seed corn in the country and the loss will be felt keenly. The dairy farmers will also suffer if they are unable 10 obtain seed corn for silagc planting. as most of this corn is being pro duccd in New Haven and Hartford counties, it is said.
