A CORN PEST.
EUROPEAN BORER IN CANADA. Ottawa, Dec. 21. Owing to the continued spread of the European corn borer, the corn crop in North America is in danger, according to a statement by Mr. Arthur Gibson, Dominion entomologist in the. Federal Department of Agriculture. Mr. Gibson says the caterpillar has spread like wildfire during the last two years. Ontario is the only province interested as yet, but the pest has spread into Ohio and Michigan and undoubtedly will soon reach the great corn belt in the. United States. Dr. Howard, chief of the bureau of entomology in the United States Department of Agriculture, makes it clear that there was no present ground for “scare” because ol the pest.—(Reuter.)
