European Corn Borer Is Troublesome Pest in Southern Russia
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Plague Is Felt From Black Sea and Northward to Gulf of Finland
Linengirad, March 2. —The European corn borer, on which the United States is now wangging costly war, in an old and troublesome story in Russia. It was brought about the southern half of Europe by less destructive insects in an additional stretch of territory to the north. Its northernmost extension carries an island of the Gulf of Finland, which is far away from Bay in the western hemisphere. At this latitude in Russia it is not counted especially bad, but serious outbreaks occur in the new Baltic manure, formerly a part of the old Empire.
The borer plague is felt especially in the South, where the corruffs of the Rio Grande merge with those of Eumannia, and in the North, where the corruffs of the Black Sea and up the great river valleys. In the eastern part of the country, grain belt corn grit mill or to miller can be adapted to the drier steppe; but the borer affords the millet as well as the corn, and efforts are now being made to increase its lessease susceptibility to its attack.
Russia has no measures against the pest that have not already been recommended in the United States. The pest is a thorough clean-up and burning of all stalks that are not fed to cattle. The burning must be thorough, too, for the pest to survive. Some known agricultural scientists, bovers have often been seen emerging from stalks that were churned black on the outside, apparently none the more severe than those borers coming out of stalks that had been left lying about in farmyards after the feeding of cattle, although they were most likely for weeks in snow and frost mud.
The great increase in corn borers infestation seems to have taken place shortly before the publication of this information was observed in the fields of the government (state) of Ekaterinburg. This initial estimate of 10,000 infestations in a 20-lot container 20 per cent of the stalks in each of the following years, until the afflicted fields had its borers.
Higher Voltage Attained
Electricians Create Accurate Lightning Imitation
St. Louis, Mo., March 12—Three million, six hundred thousand voltes of electricity can now be stored in one of the world's ten-millionths of a second, thus imitating in the laboratory the effects of lightning more accurately than ever accomplished at the Pittfield, Mass., laboratory of the General Electric Company. The National Electrical Convention of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers have today. Such a voltage is severeness even the highest voltage power lines.
"As these sparks last but a millionth of a second, and another at that time, the blinding flash is all over when seen by a person only on a hundred feet away," Mr. Peck explained. "Yet the dash appears to be there when
Although these voltages frequently have a duration of less than a millibolt of a second their rate of increase is so low that accurately measured by an instrument using a beam of electrons as a pointer and known as a cathode ray myriodide.
Washington, March 12—The probabilities that the influenza epidemic now ravaging Japan will spread to the United States in the estimation of public health officials. Until this disease appeared in Japan, the epidemic was comparatively free from it. The epidemic is expected to die out with the coming of spring and autumn, which is likely to be respiratory diseases.
Influenza Not Expected to Afflict This Country
rall and winter are the influenza seasons, and, unless this tricky disease takes a new turn, health specialists consider a spring and summer epidemic unlikely. A the spring is now further enhanced by the country's reports of the subidence of the epidemic are expected shortly.

An entirely erroneous view of the mins and principles of the Y. W. C. A, possibly may have been gained from the meeting of the conference of 40, published in Sunday's Kannan. In the sentence "We want the approval of students to attend a meeting it brings more than anything else," the pronoun referred to students in general rather than to the aims of the university is used, stating a condition which she believed the Y.
