U. S. SPENDING TEN MILLION TO AVERT AGRICULTURAL RUIN IN GREAT WAR ON CORN BORER

Hy Joseph 8. Wasney O' P. Staff ('oirespiindent) Washington, Apr. 2,0. (IT.l* )— A little worm one inch in length—the Kiiropeati corn borer litis caused funnels in the Pulled states crop losses totaling millions of dollars. To fight this post which infested New K,, gland iii 1 fll7 and steadily *preail south and westward the government this year will spend $lO.(100,0(11). The campaign to eradicate the corn borer Is probably the greatest ever undertaken against an agriculture pest. The corn borer attacks ears and talks of corn from within the husks. They eat and eat until the corn attacked is valueless. The agriculturist believes the borers' advance westward must he stopped to save eorn farmers from ruin. Not only is corn attacked hy the demon but entomologists say the borer eats as many as 200 different crops, including cotton and sugar cane. Drastic steps are being taken to certail the infestation. The agriculture department has imported eight types of parasites known | to l.e hostile to the borer. Several of the parasites have savagely attacked the pests in some sections. Corn borers now Infest more than 500,000 square miles. They have eaten their way through New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. The great campaign now is aim-| ed to stop the worms’ advance before! they reach the heart of the eorn belt. | Because borers attack corn and other agriculture crops front within, external applications of insecticides are almost useless. The best control methods are plowing under all stubble and crop remnant likely to harbor larvae, shredding it from ensilage or burning all such field refuge before moths emerge, the agriculture department said. In the I‘nited States the estimated economic loss has reached a maximum of about 25 per cent in a few fields. The borers attack sweet corn, field corn, pop corn, or fodder corn in the fields, and a variety of other plants, including field crops, vegetables, flowers, grasses and weeds. Farmers in the infested areas have been enlisted by the government to war against the pests. The government will pay $2 an aefe to all farmers who clean out the pests if their

land passes federal inspection. Half of the $10,000,000 appropriated hy congress will be used to relmbuse farmers ror their work In the campaign. A great education campaign In connection with the borer is also being undertaken by the government. Farmers are told that the eradication of the pest Is their problem hut that the government will aid In the war In every way possible. Through the newspapers, motion pictures, and radio, the control work is being explained and urged. Circulars Issued by the agriculture department concerning regulations and methods of clean up have been placed in every rural mailbox in Ihe infested counties. I'ncle Sam has arranged to supply stubble pulverizers nnd tractors to draw and operate them to farmers whose places are badly infected. A charge of $1 an acre will he made for the use of the equipment. Out of the remainder of the huge appropriation, several million dollars will he used to hire supervisors and inspectors to direct the control work. The rest of the fund will he used to purchase machinery for eradication work. (Juards to prevent exportation of all

In addition to the federal monetary and scientific aid, states arc spending sums approximately as great to speed up control work. The federal government nnd the states both realize the Ktiropeun corn borer is one of the worst enemies agriculture has ever known and no effort will be spared to eliminate it from America, the agriculture department said.
