The Worst Kind of Sabotage - By Albert T. Reid |
Entomologist.
“This pest is common throughout
.the South, and frequently very de
structive to corn when conditions
have been favorable for a large per
centage of worms to over-winter
successfully.
“Whiie the newly hatched worm
feed to some extent on foliage and
might be poisoned there, they soon
enter the stalk just above the upper
roots and thereafter cannot be reach
ed by any application of poison or
other chemicals. Control in an infest
ed crop is therefore impossible, and
prevention of infestation is the only
practical measure.
“The larvae over-winter in the tap
root or stubble, and if this is plowed
out and exposed to the elements
during the winter some degree of
control is secured, but much better
control results from the raking an '
burning of the stubble after it has
been plowed out. Late planting is also
oi some value since the emerging
moths do not live long after coming

out in the spring. If no corn be
available for them to lay eggs on
tney die out without accomplishing
their purpose. Rotation of crops is
I also of some value since the moths
i are not strong flyers and are not in
dined to move very far from the
fields in which they were grown.”
In a recent letter Mr. M. S. Yeo
mans, State Entomologist, says, “1
am delighted that the county agents
are sending in these borers. Some of
them have expressed the belief that
they might be European Corn Borers.
I sincerely hope that they will con
tinue to send in suspicious borers,
for no doubt we will get infestations
of the Euiopean Corn Borer sooner
or later, and the sooner the infesta
tion is discovered the better the
chances for complete eradication.”
We urge that you use the office of
the State Entomoolgist for identify
ing suspicious insects. It is important
that they keep in touch with out
breaks of infesation in order thac
their organization may function and
cooperate with the extension service
efficiently.

SANITY . . . comes with work
One result of the depression has
been to bring a good many people
back to a sane outlook on life and the
world they live in. That is particu
larly true among young men and
women who had to think about where
>he money came from.
I know a good many of that kind,
and nearly all of them are finding
•he kind of life where they have to
do things for themselves much more
atisfying than an existence in which
everything was done for them.
That has always been true, that
the only things worth having are the
things one works for. But a good
many people didn’t know that until
they were forced to work.
DOUGLAS . . . he can figure
If and when Mr. Woodin resigns,
the man slated to take his place as
Secretary of the Treasury is Lewis
Dougas, Director o fthe Budget.
Mr. Douglas has had the respect
of official Washington for a good
many years. He was the lone Con
gressman from Arizona for several
terms, and that made him a much
more important figure than either of
the Senators from that State. He
fought a valiant but losing fight
against the Boulder Dam project,
which made him a lot of enemies
but a lot more friends.
When Lew Douglas gets into ac
tion he fights along a straight lino
unti lhe wins or is licked. And when
it comes to figures, he can make
them behave like nobody’s business.
liECURITY . a doubtful course
I have just got word that the
Association for Old age Security has
changed its name to the Association
for Social Security. Having succeed
ed in getting half the states to adopt
old pension laws, the men behind this
movement are now starting out to
get legislation which will provide, as
they put it “social insurance against
old age dependency, and unemploy
ment.”
This is a significant movement, for
it indicates, as many other signs of
the times do, that we are moving
toward a socialized commonwealth,
such as now exists in England. The
burden of taxation of the competent
to support the incompetent wiil
steadily increase, until everybody has
been levelled down to the same
economic status. That is the direc
tion in which we are heading.
Of course, high wages and securi
ty at taxpayers’ expense can’t go to
gether. The justification of high
wages is that the worker should be
enabled( to save something out of his
wages, against illness, unemployment
or old age. That has been our Amer
ican idea. The European idea is to
justify low wages by providing for
public care of the worker in time of
stress.
I don’t like the European system.
It destroys ambition and incentive
to good work. Sooner or later it will
destroy the nations that adopt it.
But I’m afraid that’s what we’re
heading for.
BRAKES .... aind accidents
I got into trouble on the road the
other day. For the first time in near
ly thirty yeaas of motoring I was
caught violating the law! I had just
taken my car out of the garage,
where it had been laid up since last
Fall, and neglected to drive over to
the inspection station and get a 1933
certificate that my brakes and lights
were in good condition.
0
In Massachusetts nobody may
drive a car without a paster on the
windshield certifying that it has had
an official brake and light test with
in six months. I had only last year’s
sticker, so a motorcycle ’cop held me
up and proved me wrong.
I thnik the Massachusetts law is
■i good one. I’ve just seen a report
from the Travelers Insurance Com
pany, which keeps tab on automobile
accidents, which says that in the
past year there has been an increase
of fatal accidents due to faulty
bfakes. Part of that is due to so many
old cars being still in use, but most
of it is due to the failure, in most
states, to require periodical brake
inspection and to keep cars that
haven’t been certified off the high
ways.
TAXES . . . from our pockets
Everybody pays taxes. That is
what politicians try to conceal from
the voters. In the long run all taxes
are paid by the ultimate consumer.
There is no way of taxing the rich,
which the rich do not pass on to the
less well-to-do. If you rent a house
you pay the taxes. If you buy a taxed
article of merchandise, such as ciga
rettes, playing cards, automobiles or
gasoline, you pay the tax. And the
customers of a store are the ones
who, in the long run, pay the store
keeper’s income and other taxes.
If everybody realized that it is
not some mysterious, far-off “high
ups” who pay, but that every dollar
spent by the tax-eaters comes out of
the pockets of ox-dinary folks like us,
there might not be so much agitation
fev schenies to have “government”
do things for everybody that every-

from this low-priced line
For the big majority of today’s truck owners, there s
no longer any question of what truck to buy. They are
making their selection from Chevrolet’s line—the lowest
priced six-cylinder trucks on the market. And it isn t
just low price that makes them choose Chevrolet.
These trucks, available in three wheelbase lengths, and a
big variety of body types, cost less for gas, oil, upkeep
and repairs than any other trucks. You can save with
Chevrolet trucks, the most popular in the world.
