~ORN Is the favorite food Of
this borer. The damage done
Y by the younger generation to
q promising crop Of corn Is
the difference between profit and loss
Of many thousands Of dollars to the
farmer.
As corn is the food most desired by
the borer, research has accomplished
much in preventing the leak in the
profits. That, Of course, will mean
less success for the thief Of the corn
fields.
In Georgia, South Carolina, North
Caroline and Virginia, and some years
in the southern and eastern part Of
Maryland, the insect has worked
thoroughly. For so many years this
borer had things its own way. Now.
with careful planning, precautions
taken and vigilance maintained, we
will have more corn without getting
the shock of uncovering a husky,
spotted worm, working its way up q
juicy cornstalks, where 1t does its
greatest harm.
The life Of the borer is set in four
stages. First the egg, then the larva
or childhood stage. then the pupa,
the older or interneship days. followed

The determination to solve the
mystery that has bafled science for
generations has become an obsession
with him. He thinks of nothing
else. Most of his time is spent with
his books-and his experiments"

Again Juan shrugged. "Who knows.
One cannot experiment without the
proper ingredients. Certain natives
have mysteriously disappeared during
the past six months. Three weeks
ago a headless body was found in
pit not mile from town"

knew strange curiosity to meet
and talk with this man again.

Unconsciously quickened my step,

I did not not see him again for
two years. The second meeting left
an even more vivid impression than
the first. Juan and I we're renewing
our acquaintance and discussing old
times over a bottle of Cabello's fine
liquor. Across the room an old man
was reading q book.
"Pancho Ortegna" exclaimed
suddenly.
Juan shook his. head. mo, that
Is no one more important than Ca
bello's old father, who comes here
daily to get out Of the heat" His
face became grave. You are curious
about Pancho Ortegna, eh?"
I admitted that was. There were
thousand questions I wanted to
ask, for had thought of the scien-
tist more than once during the inter-
vening years.
Come" said Juan. And once more
I followed him down the blazing
street and into the gloomy interior
OF the shop we had visited before.
This time Juan spoke longer with
the swarthy gentleman behind the
counter. But at length he disap-
peared. I waited with no little mis-
givings. The object that the. shop
owner carried when be reappeared
sent cold wave through my body.
There was no mistaking it. It was
the shrunken head of Pancho Ortegna.
Juan shook his head sadly. Poor
devil. He ventured too far with his
experiments. Such is the price Of
science"

"Pancho Ortegna. the head hunter" F"

against his dark skin.
1T surprises you, yes? This busi-

who hasn't?" I assented. But
who ever believed them?"
Come" said Juan. You Ameri-

I followed Juan down Cano's single
street, beneath the blazing sun, and
into the cool, dark interior of what
might pass as gift shop back home.
Juan spoke rapidly in his native
tongue to the swarthy gentleman be-
hind the counter. The swarthy gen.
tleman looked at me, shrugged, and
disappeared into q back room. In
a moment he reappeared, carrying
in his hand an object that caused
my flesh to crawl.
THE object was a human head,
shrunk symmetrically to about
the size OF an orange. Nose, ears
and all the facial planes were in
exact proportion. The lips were
sewed. Long, silken hair flowed from
the crown
Sweat oozed from my pores. Juan
laughed. You believe now, eh?"
Sure" I said, mopping my face.
"I've got to believe. But this Pancho
Ortegna, he's a white man"
Juan interrupted with a gesture.
The swarthy gentleman offered me
the head for $25. When I refused
1t. he shrugged indifferently and dis
appeared behind the curtains.
"The Ecuadorian government will
fine you $400 for possessing one Of
these heads" Juan explained, as we

COTTON FUTURES
DOWN 81 A BALE
European Tension, Wider
Bombay Parity, Farm
Bill Watched.
By the Associated Press

Dy tIe AbSOClhteQ PreBE,
NEW YORK, March l2.--Cotton de-
clined about s100 a bale during the
past week under foreign and domestic
liquidation promoted by nervousness
over the European political situation,
the widening Bombay parity and be-
cause Of what was regarded as amount
ing to notification Of the Smith
amendment to the farm bill
May contracts reacted from 9.16 to
895 and closed yesterday at 8.e6, COM
pared with 9.06 week ago.
A long-overhanging uncertainty was
removed when the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration announced it
would be impossible for producer to
obtain any earlier cotton price adjust
ment payment, or to obtain a larger
payment, by surrendering title to his
loan cotton. These developments were
regarded as eliminating the possibility
large quantities of loan cotton would
come under the ownership of the c.
c. c. which could not have resold the
cotton until the market had touched
figure of around 1l12 cents or more.
Southern selling was very light as the
market eased below the 9-cent level.
In addition to Bombay selling at a
discount that widened to about IS
American points under New York,
Liverpool and the continent also sold
here. Trade buying on a scale-down
was the principal source of demand.
