STUDY SPREAD OF CORN BORER THROIPSTATE U. S. Scouts Check Score of Counties; Survey Progresses Slowly. While motorists submit to search by corn borer quarantine patrols on northern Indiana highways, Federal scouts are, elbowing their way through the cornfields in more than a score of counties to determine the spread and extent of damage chargeable to the pest in the State this year. Within a month -the verdict will be known. Approximately thirty scouts are working in the sixteen counties, all or part of which are now under the ban imposed by the State conservation department. Within three weeks this number probably will have increased to fifty, said Frank N. Wallace, State entomologist, today. “It is too early to predict the spread or extent of the corn borers’ ravages this year,’’ Wallace said. “Another month will tell the story. Scouts are carefully examining fields, scrutinizing the corn blades for the tell-tale punctures inflicted by the borers’ larvae when the com was a couple of feet high. The surveys, necessarily, are slow. A little later they will be easier when the tassels on infected stocks will drop over.” This year’s fight to eradicate the borer is the third since it put in its appearance in northeastern Indiana in 1926. That year, Wallace said, the worst infection was found in a forty-acre field of corn in De Kalb Count; , where 150 com borers were discovered. Thus far, Indiana has escaped with less than one infected stock in 100 examined. But Wallace fears that this year, for the first time, infection in some localities will exceed this 1 per cent. The State employs but the Government pays the quarantine patrols stationed on twenty-four State highways in northern Indiana. Working in shifts, the patrols stop

From the South Edge of Our Roof For' some time we have been watching the progress of the new building from our south window. The other day we decided to watch it from the south edge of our roof. Just at the) point where we looked over there is no protective railing. As our gaze travel down 125 feet to the street level, and then 43 feet more to the bottom of the huge new excavation, we suffered from a peculiar feeling in,the region of our sojar plexus. For the first time in our life we discovered that gravity was a visible thing. We fancied we could see huge transparent cords of energy pulling loose objects, including us, to the earth beneath. We recalled the tales we had heard about people who had felt an impulse to hurl themselves off high places, and we nervously grasped a rough piece of metal which conveniently jutted out near our hand. Thus pinioned we considered the vast space soon to be filled with a framework of steel; next to be closed in with walls and floored over with concrete. Could these little human flies, crawling about the bottom of that yawning pit really have it within their power to inclose the empty air and divide it into eleven staunch layers for the display of merchandise? With difficulty we tore our gaze away before the distance had us wholly hypnotized and returned to the comfortabe viewpoint of. the south window.
