I FARMER BRINGS CORN HERE FROM » HICKSVILLE, OHIO I (CONTINVED FHOM PAGH ONK» ( ting. Howaver. it Is considered highly possible that the corn was infected with the pest. I Befor buying the cprnj from the Ohio man. local grocers asked him bow h« could sell the corn here, since , the county in which he Ilves is under I quarantine. He replied that the corn l he had for sale was from a farm out- . side the quarantine. • The nearest federal quarantine . station to Decatur is located at Edgerton, Indiana, in Allen county, about 25 miles from Decatur, it is said. The corn borer normally travels about 40 miles per year, but It has travelled much farther during the ’ past year, spreading from Ohio and Michigan, into Indiana. ' Th® cooperation of fai mers and ’ the public in general is sought by the government in the flight against 1 the advance of the pest, in hopes that it can be retarded for at least one or two years. Parasites are being (level1 oped and produced at Pjyrdue Univers ‘ Ity to help destroy the pest, but so far. it has been impossible to produce the parasites in sufficient numbers to accomplish the task. In Europe, it is said, parasites have been produced In > large numbers and they keep destroying the corn borers as rapidly as they reproduce, so that very little damage s is done by the borer. .. In Essex county, Canada, the com B acreage was reduced from 100.000 acres two years ago to 40.000 acres last year, and to 20,000 acres this year v on account of the damage done by v the corn borer, it is said. Where the e corn borer is present in large num- ._ bers, the corn crop, and other leshy stem plants are almost totally destroyed. . Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 9. — Ten or I 15 field men fiom the department of ■ agriculture are expected in northeast- ■ ern Indiana this week to begin a • check to determine how far the Eurpoean corn borer has spread. A group of hte borers was found in 9 a hill of corn last week in Steuben II county by state entomologist Frank ■ N. Wallace. f l It is expected that a quarantine will ’• be established socn. prohibiting the movement of any cob corn or fodder from the infested areas. Wallace received a letter toda from j L. H. Worthley, federal corn borer administrator, advising him that he will _ be in Indiana soon to view the situae tion. . o

His Health Ruined By Constipation Tells How He Got Quick Relief. No Sign of Trouble Now. "For five years I suffered with liver trouble and constipation. My bowels were so sluggish they would hardly act more than once a week. My complexion was yellow and I was all run down. My appetite was poor and I had a disgust for food most of the time. I went down to 136 pounds, and my vitality was so low I just had no pep at all. I felt lazy and wanted to sleep all the time. I tried different medicines and nothing did me any good. Then a relative recommended Viuna. Before I had taken half a bottle I felt i better, and by the time I had taken the second bottle I had gained 4 pounds and could eat anything, had a good, healthy appetite and was ' feeling fine. All that drowsiness was gone and I would get up in the ■ morning full of pep. It has been three months since I bought my first bottle of Viuna, and I believe I can 1 truthfully say that I am entirely well. I have gained 20 pounds, and never felt better in my life.”—Paul D. Bragdon, 1523 Cedar St., Anderson, Ind. Viuna acta promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidnevg. It purifies the blood, clears the »kin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you’re not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Icelaud Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.
