BIG YEAR FOR BoRERs

This looks like it may be 4
big year for corn borers. A pre-
IminarY survey by the agricul-
ture department. in co-opera-
tion with state agricultural coll
leges. indicates the borer viii
be active this year over a wider
area than ever before.
Montana has been added to the
list of states where the borer is
present. The appearance was made
last year in Richland county, in the
eastern part of the state. New in
festations also were reported in
counties in seven other states, in
Guiding North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Minnesota and Nebraska.
The infested area now includes
1,456 counties in 81 states. New
counties added last year totaled 81.
Despite the greater spread, the sur
vey shows most areas had fewer
borers in 1851 than in 1850.
The most heavily infested part Of
the corn belt was in an area COM
prising southwestern Minnesota,
eastern South Dakota and extreme
northwestern Iowa. But several
eastern and southeastern states also
showed spots of heavy infestation.

100000 fewer hogs his year than

spring to help ease any shortage.
NO NEW FARM BILLS
It seems definite now that you
can just about write off any
chance Of new farm legislation
at this session of congress. Up
to early March not a single
farm bill of any consequence
had been introduced.
Neither major political party will
confirm it publicly, but the fact is
both have reached tacit UNDER
standing not to take up farm legis-
lation at this session. This seems
confirmed by the fact that both
agriculture committees are more in
terested in Investigations than
legislation.
The arrangement was more or less
officially confirmed when Secretary
Brannan appeared before the senate
and house agriculture committees to
discuss farm matters in general. No
official announcement was made,
but it was generally understood that
nothing is to be done.
The arrangement, however, holds
only so far as legislation is con-
cerned. It does not constitute !
truce for the political campaign.
Both parties are secretly preparing
to make a big drive for the farm
vote this year. On the campaign
stump they can talk without having
to vote.

tournament play accepted. Ted
Rhodes OF Chicago and william
SpIller OF Los Angeles. other ma

Vited TO play at Keller also.
II Louis comes to st. Paul his
appearance will increase the
gallery tremendously for the
former heavyweight champ Is

st. Paul Jaycees who sponsor
the Keller Open have been FESTIVE
