EUROPEAN CORN BORER ATTRACTS ATTENTION OF STATE OFFICIALS Lafayette, hid., Sept. 25. —Large numbers of Indiana corn growers are making injuiry as to the European corn borer, which has been discovered in the New England states and which is causing a great injury to the corn crop. C. I. Christie, state food director and secretary of the Indiana Corn Growers' association, lias just returned from Washington, D. C., where he was in conference with officials of the department of agriculture concerning this injurious insect and the steps that should be taken to prevent introduction into Indiana. Up to this time the insect has not been found west ot New York. However, a complete survey of the corn belt has not been made and it is impossible to say whether the insect exists in these middle western states at this time or not. The insect has been found in more than forty different varieties of plants, so that it does not confine itself entirely to the corn crop. It is for this reason that it can easily be transported from one section to the other. “Especially at this time Indiana is interested in the securing of sweet corn from the eastern states for next year’s planting. Large amounts of sweet corn are imported each year. The offcials of the department of agriculture feel that if such com is shellid there should be little danger of importing the insect though this medium. For the reason that the corn bcrer locates in the pith of the cob of the corn, it would be unsafe to mpoft the seed corn in the ear.” said Prof. Christie. Mr. Christie is also manager of the train and hay show to be held in Chicago No. 29-Dec. 6 and is interested in determining just how far the authorities will go in excluding corn from states in which the European corn borer has been found. This question is, now under consideration and an announcement will be made in a short time. The Indiana Corn Growers’ association is deeply interested in preventing the introduction of the European corn borer and supporting all methods of cqntrol which will save the corn crop of the state from any further loss. Arrangements are being made to co-operate with State Entomologist Wallace of the state conservation commission in adopting all reasonable and safe measures, ' BIG SURPRISE TO MANY IN DECATUR.
