CORN BORER IN INDIANA FACING UNITED ENEMIES Federal and Slate Forces to Open War on Crop Pest Next Week. Bet 7 imr Karri'll WASHINGTON, July 19.—State and federal authorities will co-oper-ate next week In a state-wide campaign io curb the spread of the European com borer In Indiana. The pest, one of the most destructive which aver has assailed the com farmer of the United States, has been discovered in one-third of the counties of the state. As rapidly as signs of Infestation are discovered In new areas, additional counties or townships will be placed under quarantine. The federal quarantine forbids the shipment of ear com from the Infested area. Shelled com may be shipped under federal inspection. Indiana's quarantined area Is now limited roughly by a line drawn from the northwest comer of the state to the southeast corner of Pranklin county. Twenty-two entire counties and parts of eight others are under the ban. Because the infestation is less than two years old in the state, it has not yet attained the intensity which causes commercial damage. Unless the spread is checked by drastic control methods, however, serious crop losses may result, the department of agriculture warns. If the infested area is extended as much this year as last, department experts declare, Marion county will be brought within the quarantine area. Wind Spreads Pest Evansville still is about 100 miles from the nearest afflicted township, but scouts are already at work in Vanderburg, Pike and Knox counties. The spread normally occurs about this season of the year, when the eggs deposited in the corn stalks of the previous crop are hatched. The moths are carried by wind, which makes the main direction of the spread a matter of chance. Frank N. Wallace, Indiana state entomologist, is directing the Indiana cleanup campaign in cooperation with the plant quarantine and control administration of the department of agriculture. Farmers are being urged to destroy all corn stalks in the infested area after harvest. Burning or deep plowing under has been accepted by the federal experts as the most effective cleanup method. Any method which preserves infected stalks from one season to the next facilitates the spread of the pest. The average intensity of infestation in Indiana is now seven borers per 100 stalks throughout the quarantined area. Commercial damage begins when the borer population averages five to the stalk. Sixteen States Affected First discovered in Massachusetts in 1917, the borer has spread at the rate of about 18,000 square miles a year until today a total of 230,000 square miles in sixteen states are under quarantine. The area embraces the southern two-thirds of New England; the northern quarter of New Jersey; a’.l of New York; three-fourths of Pennsylvania and Ohio; the panhandle of West Virginia; all of Michigan and the northeast third of Indiana. In Canada, the infestation covers portions of the provinces of New Brunswick. Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec. Until 1927 the department of agriculture maintained hope that the borer might be eradicated. After efforts backed by a $10,000,000 emergency appropriation that year failed to check its spread in Ohio and Pennsylvania, however, experts gave up ail hope of extermination and revised their program to one of control. An appropriation of $1,000,000 is available for the fight this year. The various infested states will add considerably to this amount. Indiana’s quarantine area includes all of the following counties; Adams, Allen, Blackford, Dekalb, Elkhart, Grant. Huntington. Jay. Kosciusko, Lagrange, Laporte, Marshall, Miami, Noble, Randolph, Starke, St. Joseph, Steuben, Wabash, Wayne, Wells and Whitney. In addition, fifty square miles or more are under quarantine in Delaware, Fayette. Fulton, Henry, Howard. Madison. Porter and Union counties. I. U.

.THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

INDIANA WOOL POOUNGGAINS Total This Season 439,729 Against 255,000 Pounds. Farmers of Indiana pooled 439,729 pounds of wool this season, according to L. L. Needier, secretarytreasurer of the Indiana Woc4 Growers Association. The 1930 volume shows a considerable increase over that of 1929 when it was approximately 255,000 pounds. Approval of co-operative marketing of farm products by the federal farm board is given considerable credit for the increased patronage of the pool this season. “An initial payment of 20 cents a pound for good grades of wool has been made by the association since our affiliation with the National Wool Marketing Corporation about mid-season,” said Needier. “Previous to that time when we were cooperating with the Ohio Wool Growers Co-operative Association, an advance of 15 cents per pound was made to the members. An average of about 18 cents per pound has been advanced on the entire wool volume. A final payment will be made to growers when the pool will have been marketed in the fall. It is expected tW&t this federal farm board plan of co-operative wool marketing will tend to steady prices through wise distribution.”
