 Fix Boundary
 Fixing the railroad line that tisects the town as an imaginary boundary, Berlin corn growers are TOW putting up a battle to have state and federal quarantine officials ac- cept the boundary as a basis for placing the quarantine on the Euro pean corn borer. Evidences of the corn borer have been found only east of the tracks and it is only that portion that should be quarantined, the local agriculturists contend. Most Of the corn is grown in the west DOT ton of the town. The attitude Of the government toward such a boundary, however. was expressed some time ago by pr. W. E. Britton Of the Connecticut State Agricultura, Experimental Station, who said that a town was the smallest area con- sidered by federal men in placing a quarantine. To this the local farm CTS reply that Berlin is exceptional because of the fact that the corn borers and the corn are in opposite ends of the town and that recognl. ton should be made of this fact.
