Washington, D. C., March
12.—Your Federal Govern-
ment has financed, drawn up
battle lines and a herculean;
fight is now under way against p
the European corn borer which
threatens the great corn areas
of the United States..
The enemy, which first made
itself felt in Massachusetts,;
Maine, and the New England;
States and invaded Canada.'
last year swept down from the 1
north into New York, New,
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, and as far
west as Northwestern Illinois.
The infested areas were so
numerous that drastic efforts
were deemed necessary. ,
One of the most intensive j
campaigns ever launched1
against a plant pest is now un-'
der.way. The Federal appro-'
priation of 810,900.000 pro- .
vides for a thorough clean-up ;
on every farm in the western
portion of the infested area.
This clean-up campaign nec-
essitates the destruction, by
fire or burning, of all remain-
ing com stalks and other re-
fuse on and about corn land
and in feeding lots and pas-'s&ry on. the part of all Federal
tures, land State officers, educational

poling, raking, and burning of
such material, to be followed
by plowing so as to turn under
any surface material previous
to putting in the season’s crop.
This is being done in all in-
fested areas at the discretion
of the officials charged with
the enforcement of the act

were well plowed last.fall or'
where methods, of spring
plowing and the condition of
the fields are such as to secure
equally efficient methods of
destruction. All such methods
and systems are subject to the
approval of the officers in
charge.
The regulations will doubt-
less require that all lands in
infested areas on which corn
was grown in 1926 which are
to be used for oats or other
small grains, grass, or millet
crops, in either spring or fall
seeding, must be prepared
with a stubble beater or by
plowing under of corn refuse
completely, in a manner satis-
factory to the officials in
charge, before the crop is
planted.
Federal reimbursement will
be made to farmers for labor
costs incurred in the clean-up
work which are over and above
the costs incurred in normal
farm operations.
tiling Tree Injuries
Woman; Wrecks Wagon
Longview, Tex., March 10.
-Mrs. McBee Fisher had both
bones of her left leg broken
Wednesday morning about 11
a. m. near her home six miles
west of here. She was riding
in a wagon, the wheels of
which caught on a trailing
vine that pulled a tree down
on her. The wagon was
smashed to the ground.

Des Moines, Iowa, March
11.—The old-fashioned fire-
side. with its traditions of hap-
py home life, has passed from
America, at '.east tempor
in the opinion of Mrs.
W. Barry of College
Texas, a speaker before the
American home- national con-
gress.
“The tremendous demands
of an age impelled by a great
mass movement toward ma-
terial welfare” and the com-
who send their boy* to college
with an automobile was mads
by Judge William S. Kenyon
of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals in an addren
before the congress.
The Judge also criticized
the present prevalence of par-
dons and paroles. "If our sen-
tences were carried out today
it would do more toward the
repression of crime than when
paroles and pardons are given
out to many cr all,” he said.

Corad, Neb., March 11.-
Two small boys of Durr, five
>y* of
mercial pleasures which can miles east of here, found nine
be bought without contribut- diamonds valued at approv-
ing to their creation were dted mately .85,000 while playing
as causes by Mrs. Barry, who
is chairman of the department
of American homes for the
General Federation of Wom-
en's Clubs.
“The home, like industry,
must learn to adapt itself to an
industrialized, scientific age.
“The home that serves the
scientific age can not be the
same home that served the
age of sentiment. The prob-
lem is to preserve all of the
fine things of the home, to al-
low it to maintain its indivi-
dualism and yet to be co-oper-
ative.”

day. The diamonds are be-
lieved to be those.wbieh sever-

Discovery of the boys’ find
was made when their parents
investigated reports that they
were selling "diamond rings”
to girls at 10c each.
Well, they have taken per-
jury from the marriage cere-
mony now—that promise of
the bride’s to obey.
