University Entomologists Join Force of 200 Federal Scouts In Corn Borer Infested Area
Eight Kansas University men of the department of ontology were sent out by the federal government to the areas infested by the European corn borer, believed to be a new pest of Hungary in broom corn during the year 1974, with spread to such exotic regions as Australia from Universities and colleges are sent out under the employment of the government to trace the spread of the pest.
The man from the University who were sent out this past summer are Howard Dean, Claretta Hoffman, Gordon Sam Dewn, c'25; Alert James, c'28; George Gould, A. B. 27; Ralph Burton, B. 27; and Bernard Lisbon, c'28.
The men first reported to L. H. Worthley, Toledo, Ohio, who was in charge of the burune of entomological corn borer control work. During their stay of a week in Toledo the men were taken over parts of the corn barns in order that they might learn to identify infected nests of corn.
James was first sent to Pennsylvania, but later went to New York to do percentage work. By percentage calculations the percentage of the fieldwork fields were paired with the percentage infested the year before.
In order to arrive at the percentage of stalks infested in each field 500 and 1000 stalks were taken from each hundred stalks were taken from each corner and 100 from the middle of each field. In the same way five field 500 stalks were taken from each corner and one in the middle. This data has not yet been com-puted. The stalk density township has become greater or less
Mathes, who went to Ohio, is still working as seaford man under the supervision of J. D. Kjmport, a for-mer from Kansas State Agricultural College.
The rest of the University men were sent to Indiana. Dewy was made supervisor for that state. At one time during the summer he had 26 crew members, and when Gault and Dews were each made former man of a crew in Indiana.
One crew scouted each township that had been quarantined but where no corn borer were found. The other crew scouted each territory who are also scouted. One part of an infested field was all the evidence of corn borer that was needed to determine whether to make certain that the insects that were found were corn borers, the specimens were sent to the government to be tested in New Mexico, Ohio for positive identification.
Proof that the corn borer is spreading in Indiana is revealed in the fact that by Oct. 1, 88 newly infested swine have been reported. Scouts are now directing their attention mainly to fields along main highways leading out of the infected area and to the corn borer. The corn fields along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers from the flood plain are also the state of Mississippi are also being scouted to determine whether the corn borer has been carried into the state.
Congress appropriated $10,000,000 for corn borer control work in 1922 and likewise each state in the infested varieties has made large appropriations.
The European corn borer, which is a larva of the moth, Pyrrhus bollaria bollard of Corn. It can one-fourth of an inch thick. It has a brown or black head and a grayish-brown body.
The moth lays its eggs on the under side of corn leaves, from the third week in June to the middle or last of July, according to climatic conditions. The eggs hatch in from three to seven days and the young burrowed on the under side of the leaves, being through the leaves into the corn stalk.
Government scouting work was first undertaken in Massachusetts in 1918, when quarantine lines were established to check artificial spread.
Since the European corn borer was first found in the United States near Boston in 1917 within five townships of Lake Michigan, it now spread to much of Columbia County, Ohio. It is the state New York it is spread all over and covers one-half of the state of Pennsylvania.
The bower becomes full grown about the middle of August. It winters in the spring, and the breeze of May it changes to the pane stage. The moth comes out about the 3st
In order to control the spread of the European corn borer the federal Department of Agriculture is destruction of the corn stalks by plowing under, burning, or cutting the stalk.
In the spring of 1927 the farmers in the infested areas were compelled to clean up the corn stalks. It has alas been commended but never before enforced.
Sod Becomes Beautiful When Secret Is Found
The federal government does not have jurisdiction over the states, but helps in the control work by furnishing more and more to help enforce laws.
More than two hundred scouts were employed by the federal government last summer in scout work. The scoring work will close about 10% of this area. This university has all returned now except Dews and Mathes.
Most of us pass by with hardly a glance—our sense sensations carry the news to our heads—"sod"—ugly sod, "grow together and there'll be a nice green lawn!" But here's the secret of it all—well sayled sod is beautiful grass. We grow together and there'll be a nice green lawn!
Did you ever stop long enough to study the newly lied sod in front of the new audioliteror—or sod anywhere for that matter—because sod is sod and anywhere it's interesting discovered the little secret about it!

Varsity Attracts Two Who Preferred Theate.
It was Saturday evening following the Aggle game and the boys' dates were—well, they were not from Bryant. The girls would be much greater success in the dim light of a theater or along a ballet floor than in the lights of the Varsity dance that night, the boys put up the stall that there was no varesity when K. U. was
The girls refused to believe that K. U. students never dance and insisted that they go to the mail "wherever it is" and make sure there was nothing doing. Being freshmen and notjournalsmen, they had not learned to read the Kanan.
Believing the dance would, of course, be at F.A. U., they finally, reluctantly, chose Zechariah as his nationalism, "just to prove they weren't lying when they said there was not one."
The boys' hearts sank when they saw the cars parked along the North Side, which they bravely approached the ticket window and asked, "What's going on here, are you?"
The reply fell like the judge's sentence, "K. U-Aggie varsity dance How many tickets please?"
London, Oct. 23.—Whales make the stout submarines look exceedingly tame when they come to diving. According to E. R. W. Gray, a British naturopath who lives at 800 fathoms, or from 4200 to 4800 feet, when they are attacked. They do not make a gradual, sloping descent, either, but stand on their noses and go right straight down. This behavior is known to whales as "caution."

Nervous Energy Gives Power for Increased Activity
Springfield, Ohio, Oct. 22—A crab fettered by one claw and left with its tail trapped in a scar to death. But put a pelyx, the crab's most deadly enemy, and the prisoner crab will be conquered. The prisoner crab through its nerves will send a violent shock to the tied claws and the claw will come off, so that the crab can escape.
This example of how emotions bring about intense unusual activity in animals was described yesterday afternoon in a paper sent by Prof. Henri Pieron, of the University of Paris, and read before the American college where we are meeting at Wittenberg College to discuss the problem of emotions.
From the amoeba, one of the simplest, tiniest forms of animal life, an upright, quadruped creature is feeling, the French psychologist said. Even purely mental action in man, which we call thought, is regulative and controlled, so feelings become sufficiently intense so that there is an abnormal disruption, the emotional stage is reached.
in Crises
In emergencies, this nervous energy gives the animal or man greater control over its environment; the effect is nervous exhaustion, and temporary disorganization of, the body.

These "Hunks O' Tin"
This is a word in behalf of the student who buys rubber heels instead of rubber tires, and who is forced to journey from Fraser to Chelsea for them. In tenureal navigation by virtue of the undue familiarity of the campus car. The objection is not to be battered about by the usual traffic, but to being misused by large numbers of students on the highroad and dash by with shrieking non-chance, lopping off indiscriminate parts of anatomy as they pass. There are Foeds on this Hill that would cause indesirable ignorance. It was obliged to figure with them in an accident.
A large casuity list is compatible with the crowded condition of the sidewalks and intersections, but, is it too much to ask that if one must be dragged from underneath wheels, the machine should be such that one could emerge without blushing? Not that there is any particular enjoyment in being run down by a Packard, but it would be easy to imply to pay that it one has been threatened with disintegration by a red and blue monosteosity bending, instead of a respectable name plate, "Baby" inscribed in drunken letters across the radiator.
That Settles It
Absolute knowledge have I none, but my aunt's washerwoman's son Heard a policeman on his beat that he shot at me that he had a letter just last week Handwritten in the finest Greek From a Chinese coolie in Timbuco Who said that a son in Cuba knew Toua Mohamed who got it right from a circus clown That a man in Klondyke got the news From a gang of smooth American Jews About some Fellow in Borneo that he thinks he should know A hermit who lived beside a lake Whose mother-in-law will undertake To prove a friend's sister's niece Has stated in a nicely written piece that he might be about The date the new Ford car comes out.
Any rice morning on the campus, "Wby,
you, when did you get that!" pointing
to the toilet.
These College Engagements That Often Last a Month
"Why. Honey, hadn't you heard? I get it last weekend. John's just too wonderful for me."
Two months later, 'Well, Mary Leo, too bad, it better to break off than never...'
And Dame Question asks, "Just how long do college engagements last?"
The quest for pins is ever at hand for indeed a jeweled one, adds much to ones attractiveness, and then there's the thrill of passing the five pounds.
You've all heard the story of the fraternity man who one night, when he thought the moon was really made of green cheese, put out his肝 pin. The next morning when he had fully recovered, he strove in vain to remember to whom he was engaged. If he called this party and mentioned the fact that it were him, the punch they couldn't be given. After much trouble, he succeeded in locating his pin without disclosing the fact that he didn't know who had it.
One girl, much to the surprise of her friends, announced her engagement and passed the five pounds. Three weeks later, it was all off, and she was surrounded by lucky stars that childish fanciers do not last.
A certain number of college women wear "the pin" only when the boy friend is in town but at other times—not on your life. Some people think that a pin means an engagement and it would be terrible to miss a date for this misaken idea.
One of the University mademats who recently went home, waned a former sister who exclaimed, "Ye Gods, you don't mean to say you've been married," and said if you had and haven't attached a pet yet you do?"
But to our joy and pride, there still a few of the old fashioned ones who put on the pin because they believe in all that it stands for. And when she is a guest at "his" house and the brothers sing the fraternity sweetheart song, she asks if she is "his" sweetheart forever and a day.
And these five, make youth, life and life,
beauty and sweetness worth while. They're
real.
Hunting the Crafty Crow
Pursuit of Birds Is Incident
of Much Interest
A Ford jeers along the road in the gray darkness under a pale moon and comes to a stop some little distance from a grove of trees. Several young men, four or five or seven or eight, jump out. They grab long black objects which prove to be shot-guns. There is a general mumbling and mattering. "What time is it?" "Gimme a match." "Five till midnight," "Oh, d... it. I forgot those shells." "Sh. Ab usb dumb-bells. We aren't at a college party."
And now, you are wondering what it's all about. Well, this is simply a portraital of the beginning of a crow-hunting expedition out in South Central Kansas.
The crow has established a reputation of being the craftiest of birds. Moreover, the crow is a large bird and it takes no small amount of food to satisfy his hunger. The crow flies in great hordes which swoop down on the fields or into orchards and in a short time they do a large amount of damage to the farmer's crops. So great is the damage that the farmers on crows-beads, and of course, the farmers are glad to have the crows killed.
The gang of crow-hunters (usually consisting of a Fordland of "stairs", but there have been instances wherein "huntresses" have been taken along, too) go out in the middle of the night to "put one over" on the old yolk cremies. The first problem is to find the cremies of all their leaves may be made to appear very life-like by a berry of crows filling the bare branches.
But killing the big black crow is not the most simplest task there. Is besides having feet and wings, a cocky head and a big body to attack? No, it's what we call which is always on the lookout for danger.
Extreme caution and quiet must be maintained as the hunters make their way to the trees in which the crows by the hundreds are sleeping. And it is not so easy to be quiet while smearing along during a cold night, step-pinning on sticky branches, or having cheeks scratched on protruding brambles or having eyes poked by low-hanging twigs.
Probably because of this difficulty to get close to the crow, rather than because of the profit to be sought, crow-hunting is regarded as a sporting pastime in Reno county. In the winter when there are no watercows to allow crow hunting may take up crow-hunting as a diversion.
