Motor Patrol Stations in Operstion All Over
 Western Conn
TO HOLD-UP TOURISTS

New Haven, July 13-Motor road
 patrol stations moved into operation
 to-day in western Connecticut in en-
 forcement of the European corn

 state and of the territory adjoining
 it is under the restrictions, traffic on
 few of the principal highways is af- fected.
 Automobiles and trucks on the patrolled roads will be stopped and searched first for corn, which is t1l most dangerous contraband goods
 because the borer likes it best, and
 also for certain other vegetables and flowers. If any such material Is
 found, it is coniscated to prevent
 long distance spread of the pest
 Last year 724 specimens of the bor- CT were in the products seized. Most of the stations will be in operation A hours and will be light ed by flares in the road at night Orange and black warning signs have been erected to declare the quarantine, which is maintained by the United States department of agriculture, from headquarters in South Norwalk and the Connecticut | Agricultural experiment station in | New Haven.
