excavated driveways should be
equipped with a guard rail at

numbers of these beetles survive
to cause heavy infection of corn
in the spring. Although these in
sects are the usual carriers of
wilt, infected seed can also intro
duce the disease into a field.
The migration of beetles from
infected to non-infected areas is
responsible for considerable
spreading of the disease during
the growing season. In areas

Cut Sweet Corn Bacterial wilt
With Seed From Late Varieties
Sweet corn growers can solve
many of the problems with Bac-
terial Wilt right now by ordering
sweet corn seed from late mature
ing varieties. These seeds pro-
duce plants that are more toler-
ant of bacterial wilt than the
early maturing varieties.
Drs. H. E. Milliron and j. w.
Heuberger of the University of
Delaware's departments of ento-
mology and plant pathology warn
sweet corn growers about Bac-
terial Wilt.
They say that adults of the
common corn flea beetle harbor
the wilt bacteria in their bodies,
and infect corn plants on which
they feed.

THE OFFICE OF GOVERNOR

HEaI Can Hear It Noto" series completed recently in
The 81. Thomas) Daily News is such an excellent idea that it
should be studied carefully by all concerned with things gov
ernmentaI in these Islands. And this leads to a few comments
the temptation to which could not be overcome.
THE GOVERNOR of the Virgin Islands plays. a most
peculiar role in the government Of these Islands. He is many
things to Congress and the President. He is the Presidents
official representative here, and viewed from Congressional
standpoint, stands guard over the nations interests in these
parts. He is appointed by the President, with consent of the
Senate.
TO H PEOPLE Of the Virgin Islands he may be a
stranger or a friend. He is, more than likely, not one of the
people, and therefore a stranger. He owes no duty to the
people, and in the eyes of one and all is most concerned with
presenting as good a picture as possible to his immediate
superiors, the Department Of the interior.
u BLUNTLY, the position of Governor of the Virgin
Islands is a strange and peculiar creature which cannot be
placed in any given category. This means, therefore, that his
problems are varied and endless, and above all thankless.
He IS one who must up to this point run to Con
ores seeking funds and programs. He is the one who must
solve. all ills, economic and otherwise, taking the brunt OF all
that goes wrong, thus becoming a virtual whipping post. 70
mosf of the people Of these Islands the Governors allegiance
Is to far-off Washington, not to any group or individuals
here. Be this right OF wrong this is, by and large, the con
cept entertained.
FULLR AWARE of these problems and the role they
must play in the constant srging drama superimPosed upon
an unusual democratic background the dwellers OF Govern
mept House have played their parts with varying success.
One of the first ingredients required IS the aDnty % 81
along with the legislature, and the I Can Hear It Not0 series
points this out very well.
WITHOUT enumerating or detailing, it may be enough
, 1955-05-23

to say that adequate attention Of the proper sort given to the
first requirement is likely to reap more success than any
thing else, and many Governors have taken time out to give
much attention to it.
