O. Reed, Dept. Agricultural Engineering, Ohio State University, Gives Aid Chronicle-Express Index of News In 1921 a few European corn borers were found along the southern shore of Lake Erie. At that time there were so few of the insects that on the aver age corn borers scouts could find only one borer for each lorty-four days of searth. Now, only four years later— the corn borer in this country alone infests an area of 110,000 square miles in the Lake Erie region, including parts of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michi gan. In some fields in Ontario, just north of Lake Eric, where the borer has worked at least a year or two longer, the corn crop is an entire loss, with iOO per cent of both ears and stalks infested and an average of 40 worms per stalk. Corn hell farmers and scientists who have visited this strick en area have turned a way in horror with the stench of putrid corn fields in lheir nostrils and with the sicken ing vision of what may happen in this country. When asked if the corn borer can be controlled, a scientist who has been in the thick of the fight almost since the pest was first found in Ohio answers: \No one can definitely answer this question at present. We believe it will be controlled in time, but some severe losses may occur before this is accom plished. It Is safe to say that the insect will not be exterminated. It is too well established lor that. Spread will certainly continue, and it is only a matter of time until the entire corn belt is infested.” With these facts staring us in the face it is not hard to see that the fight to save King Corn is anybody’s and everybody’s fignt. Certainly it is a battle demanding the concerted ef fort of all agricultural interests in cluding the farmer, the banker, the packer, the implement, manufacturer, the implement dealer and the host of others who keep our agricultural plant running. PROBLEM REALLY A NATIONAL ONE. In case apathy toward the menace still prevents our awakening to the dangers of the pest, let us remember that the corn belt tanner does not have to have his corn crop entirely destroyed before the pest is a menace. If the borer works, only enough to de stroy the profits in a field it has gone far enough to prove it a pest, of prime importance. If this country’s corn :op is damaged or curtailed how will HIRAM DIBBLE AND OTHERS DIE this affect the cattle and hog feeding industries? If the borer gets into the heart of the corn belt—and scientists say that it will—it is very evident that for a time at least the cost of pro ducing corn will- be increased. There may be a decided decrease in acreage. Either one of these results will tend to raise the price of corn. Economists point opt. that this may raise the cost of living; hence our whole social and industrial structure may feel the ef fect of this national enemy. King Corn is our chief cereal crop; approximately 16 per cent of it moves to market in the form of grain, and 84 per cent in the form of livestock. It is bad enough to have the borer tackle the corn crop, but his threat Is not confined to corn alone. When he cannot get enough of his favorite food he frequently attacks the following, in addition: broom corn, celery, cotton, cowpeas, hemp arid potatoes. The borer also occasionally attacks buckwheat, oats, soy beans, sweet clover, timothy, tobacco and tomatoes. PEST COMES FROM EUROPE. The European corn borer was first reported in the United States in 1917 from the vicinity of Boston, where it was causing considerable damage to sweet corn. Two years later it was discovered around Schenectady. There are broom factories in each of these territories, and it is generally conced ed that the borer reached this country in shipments of broom corn received at these factories from Hungary and Italy. Since its arrival in Michigan a net Ohio the borer has spread steadily. In 1924, which seems to have been an especially favorable season for the pest, the borer’s spread into new ter ritory in Ohio was as great as it had been during the previous three years combined. It has now gone into win ter quarters after a fairly successful 1925 spread. When the moths wen- in the air dur ing the 1925 egg-laying period, the pre vailing winds were from the south and southwest. This, according to en tomologists, partly accounts for the slight spread to the south in Ohio dur ing the past season and for the in creased spread to the north and east in Michigan, New York and Pennsyl vania. In other words, in 1925 the winds favored the corn belt. But will they always do so? (Continued on page eight.)

For the' third Lime the Polyglotte Club of Keuka College will have the signal honor of presenting in its an nual concert series the great master of the cello, Hans Kinder. To those who have already heard him no furth er word is ueeded. At once he is rec ognized as an artist whose exquisite interpretation is but an outflow of his rich personality.. His dazzling tech nique and velvet touch have long since achieved* for him his indisput able rank. As one, critic has said of his playing: \The music's self is graceful, delicate, elegant, not freight ed with a weighty message but unctu ous and plausible to the ear.” Whether the music be from Saint- Saens, Bach, Beethoven, or from the many composers who have been in spired by his playing to write espe cially for the cello. Kindler’s superb mastery of his instrument wins the intense admiration of all who hear him. The concert will be given on the evening of February 10th at 8 o’clock in the auditorium of Keuka College. Tickets are $1.50. Seats may be re served by writing or by telephoning the college office, 74-F-14.

King, speaker at these meetings, discussed the place for sweet clovei in Yates county agriculture and recom mended its use for either sheep or dairy pasture purposes. This crop was also recommended as a soil im provement crop because it adds nitro gen to the soil and also a large amount of organtic matter. ’Farmers growing sweet clover were particular ly cautioned to use the white blossom variety and to make sure that their soil is well supplied with lime. Both communities arranged for i lime demonstrations and instructed their local committees to consider the woodchuck eradication campaign in the spring. The Branchport members requested another meeting to bo held late in February, The following com mittees 'were elected for the coming year: In Yatesville: L. R. Hunter, W. D. Martin, Perl Wheeler, H.

Apples Turning to Coal? A Penn Yan woman brought into the Chronicle-Express office, Saturday, what was once an ap ple, but what now appears to be a genuine 100 per cent chunk of an th raci te coal. Tho ugh the fruit has staunchly retained its stem and held its original shape, it has turned tar black. Having shrunk a little the creases make it more closely resemble a piece of coal. e Jt is- said that whenever the supply of any of life’s necessi ties become extinct that nature provides a substitute. In this time of zero weather and des perate coal shortage, is nature converting apples into carbon? This is the question that natu rally arises as one looks at this freak of nature. The apple was found in a bush el crate with oilier spies, stored for the winter. It is colored a jet black over its entire surface and feels spongy, qs if it might have been touched by the frost. On the other hand, it looks as if it were affected by what is com monly known as \black rot.” Jf this is true,, it is very unusual, for \black rot” is often found on other fruits, and occasionally on apples, but rarely, if ever, to the extent of covering the entire sur face. ODD FELLOW HAS ENVIABLE RECORD PENN VAN M. E. CHURCH VOTES TO RAISE $25,000 FOR RECREATIONAL HALL Official Board Unanimously Adopts Plans for Exten sive Improvements and Additions to Present Structure—WiU Start Drive for Funds in March ♦ May Build in FaU lAt a meeting of the Official Board of the Penn Yan Methodist Episcopal church held January 18th, it was unanimously decided to follow a pro gressive program calling for the rais ing of $25,000 and construction of a recreation hall under the main audi torium of the present building. The money is to be raised by subscrip tions extending over a five-year pe riod. Plans for the additions are al ready completed. Actual construction work will not start, however, until some $5,000 in cash is in the hands of the treasurer of the project, some time next fall probably. The drive for con tributions is to begin in the immedi ate future. In a general way these plans have been under consideration by the offi cials of the local church for more than a year, and a committee has long been working on them. Not until this win ter, however, were the crowded condi tions and lack of play equipment in the church found to be so acute as to demand immediate action. The plan calling for the addition of a scout room, reading room, basket- times and the activity of organizations outside the church along lines of help fulness. And knowing full well that a busy and working people is a con tented and happy people we desire to make the following report and recom mendations. On the 18th day of March, 1925, tho Official Board of this church adopted unanimously with 21 members present the plans we proposed for the utiliz ing of the space under our church auditorium in sixe 61x74 for the use of enlarged program of activity and also certain other changes in our church plant and some improvements and repairs to our property. ... . We therefore report and rec ommend: 1. That we immediately proceed with the plans for a well-organized campaign for the funds necessary to make the proposed improvements and repairs and the putting in of the recreation hall and equipping it. 2. That we raise the funds on a five- year subscription basis and the follow ing subscription card be used: . . , 3.

TESTING OF CATTLE BRINGS FEW REACTORS Yates County Record Is Exceptional. Sign-Up Nearly Completed in Milo and Benton, The Yates county bovine iuberculu- committec for 1926 held their or ganization meeting in the Farm Bu reau' office last Thursday, January 28. Dr. Ira C. Idc, of Dundee, represent ing trie board of supervisors, was elected chairman of the committee. The other members of the committee were Dr. C. E. Stevenson, representing the county medical society, R. IJ. Hathaway, of Dundee, representing the Farm Bureau, R. II. Duuton, of Middlesex, representing tlie county Grange* and County Agent 0. B. Ray mond jis secretary. Dr. Gregory H. Deau gave his report for the past year showing that 868 owners had had 4026 cattle tested for the first time under thb accredited Norris ti. Dailey, local insurance dealer and a member of Keuka Lodge, No. 149, I. O. O. F., of Penn Yan, N. V., holds a record as a member of that fraternal order that probably few in this country can equal. There are three points in which Mr. Dailey holds an enviable record: First, - he has delivered the past grand charge 1)2 times. Second, he has welcomed 408 mem bers into the order. Of these he Avel- comed 26 when Keuka Lodge insti tuted Wayne Lodge, No 740, on No vember 7, 1895; 67 when the local lodge instituted Odessa Lodge, No. 716, February 1.4,. 1896, ami the remain ing 315 in his own lodge. Third, lie has Avelcomed three gen erations of one family as follows: \ Grand Patriarch Bradley T. Mallory on March 16, 1896, and his son, Chas. H. Mallory on March 4, 1907, and two of his grandsons, Roy B. Mallory on November 7, 1910, and Karl Mallory on March 13, .19)6. The prospects now appear very promising that one of the fourth generation of this fam ily may apply for membership; Mr. Dailey’s experiences shoAV that it is true that all trades, professions and callings are attracted by Odd- fellowship, for he has welcomed Bap tists, Methodists, Presbyterians and Episcopalians; ministers, and homeopathic physicians and un dertakers. Of the local men he has welcomed a (Fred) Cook and (C. II.) Baker, who will satisfy any epicurean taste, (Clarence) Stone, which gives solidity to the structure; (B. F.) Look, and others who do not see so clearly; (Ed.) Swift, and others who can not keep up in the race; (George S.) Shep pard, who always esteems it a pleas ure to aid and advise the wanderers to keep in the narrow path which leads to life everlasting; Judge and .surrogate, who has been in that office 18 years and being so imbued with the principles of friendship, love and truth that, he has not had one of his legal decisions reversed; merchants of all classes, farmers, fruit growers and in fact men of nearly all depart ments of life. One of the greatest pleasures in de livering this charge, continues Mr. Dailey, who is 74 years old, comes when you have a class of candidates who grip your hand and look you squarely in the eye. He took the initiatory degree o f ; Keuka Lodge in September, 1886. j when there were- 94 members. Of these but three still live. They are: Hon. John T.
