University Entomologists Join Force of 200 Federal Scouts In Corn Borer Infested Area
Eight Kansas University men of the department of entomology were summoned to do federal government last summer by a local government that the areas infested by the European corn borer. The corn borer, balletweaver, has spread to many Hungary in bug camp during the year 1917, has spread to such an extent that more than 200 universities and colleges are out under the employment of the government to trap, the spread of the caterpillar.
The men from the University who were sent out this past summer are: Howard Dewitt M., C. Leonard McGee, J. Bernard Sam Down, c:2; Albert James, c:28; George Gould, A. B. 27; Rajah Gould, B. B. 27, and Bernard Lisson, 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 exposed to infested areas in order that they might learn to identify infested stalks of corn.
James was first安神 to Pennyvania, but later went to New York to do percentage work. By percentage calculations the percentage of the children were compared with the percentage inflicted the year before.
In order to arrive at the percentage of stalks infested in each field 600 and 1200 stalks were taken from each hundred stalks were taken from each corner and 100 from the middle of each corner. The number of stalks were taken from each township, one from each corner and one in the middle. The data has not yet beencompleted. The township has become greater or less
Mathes, who went to Ohio, is still working as an academic foreman under the supervision of J. D. Kjampor, a for-
mer State Agricultural College.
The rest of the University men were sent to Indiana. Dew was made supervisor for that state. At one time during the summer he had 28 crew members. He and Gould and Dews were such made foreman of a crew in Indiana.
One crew scouted each township that had been quantitated but where no corn borers had been found. One crew of the infested territory were also scouted. One part of an infested field was all the evidence of corn borers that was needed to determine how to make certain that the insects that were found were corn borers, the specimens were sent to the government, and then released. Ohio, for positive identification.
Proof that the corn borer is spread
Did you ever stop long enough to study the newly ined soil in front of the new auditorium or -sod anywhere for that matter—because sod is sod and anywhere it's interesting to discover it discovered the little secret about it!
Sod Becomes Beautiful When Secret Is Found
Most of us pass it by with hardly a glance — our sense sensories carry the news to our heads — sod "ugly" shed, grown together and—and there'll be a nice green lawn." But here's the secret of it all—newly laid sod is beautiful and grows well; we develop the imagination! Next time you pass the new auditorium, pause long enough to discover the secret for you if you follow the directions closely. Close your eyes half-way and gradually open and close them—in other words try to create a picture in this state that the secret is revealed. You'll imagine yourself a huge giant city—stresses and lots marked off and all ready for buildings to be erected.

ng in Indiana is revealed in the fact that by Oct. 1, 48 newly infested horticultural areas have been scouts are now directing their attention mainly to fields along main highways leading out of the infested areas, which include the corn burer. The corn fields along he Ohio and Mississippi rivers from Rochester to Grafton are the state of Mississippi are also being scouted to determine whether new territories by high waters.
Suiting you is my business.
Since the European corn borer was first found in the United States near Boston in 1917 it has spread west to within five townships of Lake Michigan and to the south it has stretched past Columbia, Ohio. In the state of Texas it has spread all over and has covered one-half of the state of Pennsylvania.
Government scouting work was first undertaken in Massachusetts in 1918, when quantine lines were established to check artificial spread. Congress appropriated $10,000,000 for the construction in 1926 and likewise each state in the infested territories has made large appropriations.
The European corn borer, which is
brown, is about one inch long and one
eighth of an inch thick. It has a
brown or black head and a grayish-
tinted body.
$CHULZ THE TAILOR 917 Mass.
The moth lays its eggs on the uncovered leaves in June, and the caterpillar week in June to the middle or last of July, according to climatic conditions. The eggs hatch in from three to seven weeks, depending on the under side of the leaves, boring through the leaves into the corn.
The borer becomes full grown about
one month, and it feeds on the corn stalk and about the midst
of May it changes to the pupae stage.
The math comes out about the last
In order to control the spread of *election fraud*, and state government advocates the destruction of the corn stalks by plowing under, burning, or cutting the corn.
In the spring of 1927 the farmers in the infested areas were compelled to clean up the corn stalks. It has alas been communicated but never before enforced.
The federal government does not have jurisdiction over the states, but helps in the control work by furnishing them with help enforced the clean-up measures.
More than two hundred scouts were employed by the federal government last summer in scout work.
The scouting work will close about Oct. 15. The men from this University have all returned now except Dews and Mathes.

It was Saturday evening following the Akgie game and the boys' dates were—well, they were not from Bryn Mawr. So I had to be a little pruprimate would be a much greater success in the dri light of a theater or along a staircase. We had a great lightings of the Varsity dance that night, the boys put up the stall that there was no varsity when K. U. was
The girls refused to believe that A. H. U. students never dance and insisted that they go to the hall "where it'll" make sure there was nothing doing. Being freshmen and not journalists, the victims had not learned
Believing the dance would, of course, be less than reliably reducible concerned to go to his ginnia musum, "just to prove they weren't lying when they said there was not mine."
The boys' hearts sank when they saw the cars parked along the Mount Olympus trail. The bravely approached the window, and asked, "What's going on here, anyways?"
The reply fell like the judge's sentence, "K. U.-Aggel varsity dance How many tickets please?"

Holme's Broomstick Train Life Clearly Depicted Aboard a Stalled Trolley
How the unusual breaks formality! We had started down the hill by way of "Holmes' brookmist train." The rain was sprinkling and we needed to hold our hands under the drops. The car seats were occupied by as decorations a group of citizens as usually start homeward a little before the 6 o'clock hour.
Suddenly we were at a standstill. The motorman took his seat in a position of restful luxury. The rain continued. After a space of some minutes long drawn out, he arose suddenly, stuck his head out of the car and peered toward the rear. Was he interested in the behavior of the broomstick, or was he anticipating a fire? Or was he forward? He closed the door as abruptly as he had opened it, and again assumed a position of easy nonchance.
"It's hailing," exclaimed another.
"There must be water in the carburer," said some one.
"I hope my child is not waiting for me on the corner in all this rain," remarked a woman who had been sitting behind her.
"What street is this? How far it is to Vermont?" questioned a second woman.
Then silence, and patter, patter, dash on the window panes.
"If we stop her much longer, I'll be hungry for that chicken pie," this from the otherwise owner.
Silence again, except for chatting between se-matets, "on board."
"Let's go," said some one.
"Say, motorman, have you any sandwiches up there?" shouted man from the back seat.
"Not today," replied the motorman dryly, while the rain and the hall beat upon the winery.
"No. It's the chicken pie he's interested in,
and the woman half way back, soldered herself
with the knife."
"Let's turn on the lights, any way," remarked a man at the front, cutting the action.
"Here she goes," shouted the motorman, and on we bummed.
A third breezy young mans in run on the car and entered. As the door closed behind her and we started on again she called to her mother. "You don't drive the car, 'I haven't any money. Have you?"
"My child!" was waiting at the corner with umbrella and raincoat.
Two young women boarded the car, shooting across the street as they did so. "Hurry!"

Jingle, jingle, buz, buz, patter, patter, on we went. Then stop! Half a block to home! it was still raining, not April showers, not cups full, not even bucketsful, just tubsful. A half block and home, an open fire, a shaded light, a good book, comfort and -hard luck, a fresh down-pour out side just at the time to eat dinner and -dinner there aren't any chicken size.

The danger of atheism lies not in its belief, but in the heated, bionted and irrational attacks made upon it by its over-zealous opponents. Young America becomes sullen in the face of such displays of temper, and accepts the bludgeoned belief uncritically.
Which Coffin for Marty (Continued from page one)
Used to come into to town and kept raisin' everything about her man. We had to hear to the asylum. She's there yet. The doctor says she's dyin'. She wants to come back here and we're trying to get up a little purse for her. She's not sure if my wife will keep me. Lennie can't live long.
"Well, Clyde Lamphier come back from Golden, that's the minin' school you know, and was prospectin' up in the hills around the mountains," she said. "An awful rain blew up and Clyde sneaked in Mart's tummy to keep dry. He investigated the tunnel and went plumb to the rocky bottom where he'd been his bone's right there lynn by a little spring that had sprung out of the rocks. That ain't all he found either. There was a two foot veil around him, and are popped out just as big as you please.
"Clyde said that mine for a million. Anyway, people around here said it was a million. I guess he really got about two hundred and fifty thousand and a good cut on everything they ship out of the diggin's. He bought the three hundred dollars. A good investment, I call it.
"I was over in Gunlain when Clyde was there. He was buyin' a coffin for old Marty's bones. I happened to go into the store with him. We looked at three kinds of caskets. There was one, a blamed pretty thing. It had four locks. He sat at another for seven-five dollars but I figured Clyde would get the best. No sir, not Clyde. He took the one like the county guys. Wants a coffin; just a damned box. Price was twelve dollars. Clyde it got for ten. There he was burglar; the cheapest one he could get is taxed right in his pocket. Kids host me.
"We've got'ts up that parece to bring Lennie home. 'Olive gave me ten dollars. Can't you get it?'
This Small Town Stuff The Poor Professor Blushed and Walked On
Statisticians and sociologists have spent much time and energy in an attempt to differentiate the rural from the urban communities. These two kinds have been separated as to size and as to population. Neither means that they are always on the same side; in our opinion, characterizes any small town. There's always the town hout where all the boys congregate. And so it is with Lawrence.
The rain had cleared away and everyone was promenading down Massachusetts to their Sunday evening meal. The 'boys' were watching on with a peculiar interest disinterested in air. Something was wrong. We stopped and joined the gang out of an ordinary curiosity.
Along came a professor and his wife. The gentleman, with head and shoulders bent, the man, who was trying to calmly he stopped, reached down, and then I also saw the nickel. My heart jumped a beat. It had probably been all the time the man. The student. It wouldn't hurt. He tried again. No luck.
"Haw, Haw, Haw." His failure was greeted by guffaws and shouts of derision. The prose was penned in a whimsical style.
Students came down the street in two and threes. Some stopped to pick up the coin.
Later I, with my date, walked past the cafe where the coin had been spiked into the sidewalk. I only laughed. "Those country boys can't fool me. I'm from Tonganoxie."
