11, S. IS BEATEN IN COSTLY WAR ON CORN BORER Destructive Pest Spreads Rapidly Across Nation; Toll Is Huge. lit/ Frrlpns-ffotrord .Wrp <ix>er Alliance WASHINGTON, July 22. —An ordinary sort of worm which came into the United States in a shipment of broom corn from Italy thirteen years ago has cost the nation a billion dollars in crop losses—and the department of agriculture has given up all hope of eventual eradication. Approximately 250.000 square miles in sixteen states are under federal quarantine because of the European corn borer infestation, and the area is expanding at the rate of about 25,000 square miles a year. Already half way across Indiana from his first United States abode along the Massachusetts seaboard, experts anticipate that when the borsi spreads to the great com states of Illinois and lowa he will become more expensive than the boll weevil, which has cost the south billions of dollars in the last twentyfive year*. Plant diseases cost the farmers of the United States a total of $1,500,000,000 annually, according to a recent survey by Dr. R. J. Haskell, plant-pathologist of the agriculture department. The boll weevil, corn borer and Mediterranean fruit fly, which two years ago invaded the Florida citrus belt, make up about two-thirds of the total. The com borer eggs are planted by moths on the leaves of young com. When hatched, the worms cat into the stalk, frequently devouring so much of the pith that the stalks fall. If the dead stalks are allowed to remain above ground throughout the winter, as is usually the case, anew g* leration of moths find their wings iu the early spring. Carried by the wind, they soon spread the eggs to distant fields. The infested area now extends to the northeastern point of Illinois. Only destruction of the infested stalks serves to curb the propagation of the borer. The department of agriculture urges complete eradication of all stalks as rapidly as the com is harvested—either by feeding, burning over the fields, or deep plowing-under.

BABY PUZZLE PONDERED BY 7 SCIENTISTS Staff of Specialists to Make Many Tests in Hospital Mixup. Bu United Press CHICAGO, July 22.—A1l the resources of science were resorted to today in an effort to determine whether Mr. and Mrs. William Watkins should trade their baby for that of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bamberger. It never wouid have occurred to the families to contemplate such a trade had not Watkins discovered on the infant his wife brought home from the hospital the name “Bamberger” on a piece of adhesive tape. It developed the baby in the Bamberger home had beea taped “Watkins.” Seven Scientists Confer In consequence of this mix-up, seven scientists solemnly set to work today to solve the identity of the infants, both born June 30 at ths Englewood hospital. Tests made soon after mistake was uncovered failed to reveal anything to -distinguish one baby from the other. Dr. Arnold Kegel, Chicago health commissioner, assembled his staff of specialists in a preliminary conference Monday night. There was general agreement no single test will be sufficient to show positively the parentage of the infant boys, but taken together a series of different tests will prove conclusively whether the babies are in the right homes or should be transferred, Dr. Kegel said. Seek Riddle Answer The men whose scientific skill is expected to provide an answer to the riddle are Dr, Emil Deutsch, ophthalmologist; Dr. Cleveland White, associate in dermatology, Northwestern university school of medicine; Dr. Hamilton R. Fishback, associate professor of pathology, Northwestern university school of medicine; Dr. Gerhardt Von Bonin, associate professor of the department of anatomy, University of Illinois; Ferdinand Watzek of Vienna, director of the scientific crime detection laboratory at Northwestern university; A. J. Mulvaney, one of the laboratory’s investigators, and Dr. Davis S. Hillis, obstetrician, associated with Northwestern university. Aged Druggist Dies Bu Timm Boecial LIBERTY, Ind., July 22.—A. E.
