GRAVE PERIL IS SEEN IN SPREAD OF COIN BORER Annual Report of State Entomologist Wallace Tells of Danger. Seventy-two farms in fifty townships of six counties were inspected for corn-borer during the fiscal year 1928, the report of Frank Wallace, state entomologist, submitted today to Richard Lieber, director of the state conservation department, shows. Scouts for the department examined 643 acres of corn and found 1,208 infested hills, the report points out. “While this may not appear a heavy infestation, compared to 1927,” Wallace explains, “it indicates considerable rapidity with which the borer population is increasing in this state. Real Losses Predicted “If this rate of increase is not checked, real losses will be sustained in a few years, not only in Indiana, but in the great corn belt to the west as the pest spreads and numerically increases.” Out of a total of 249 fields examined in 1927, but nine were found infested and no township averaged even one borer to 100 stalks. The survey this year shows that ten townships in Steuben and DeKalb counties averaged more than one borer to 100 stalks. A warning is sounded about planting corn on land which is often inundated. “Experience proves that the borer is very hardy and will live for long periods submerged in water, according to the report. "Also that an infested corn-stalk may float down stream for miles. Warns of Grave Danger “Because 43,659 acres were planted to corn in 1927 that normally are under water at times each year on an average of two years out of five, this consi' f "tes a grave danger of borer spread by reason of floating corn stalks.” During the last two years, Wallace accompanied more than 500 representative farmers from Indiana’s infested area to Canada, where the borer stopped corn production on 100,000 acres in two counties. The government there has been so successful in control that Wallace now is engaged in taking the same farmers back to show what can be accomplished. RADIO AIDS PHYSICIAN Air Appeal for Anti-Toxin Saves Lives in Michigan. By United Press LANSING, Dec. 7.—Radio has been pressed into service by a Michigan doctor.
