O. Pepper, exten- sion entomologist, reports. The original infestation of Euro- pean corn borers was discovered in Erie county about 20 years ago. At one Ume the damage to the corn crop in Erle county was consider. able, but recently only a compara- tively small amount of damage has been reported. Many other counties have had serious infestations at one time or another, Field observations made in Centre county last fall indicate the advisa- bility of culling stalks low. Standing stalks show a 45.3 per cent infesta- (Lion of corn borers compared with only 5.75 per cent for stalks cut one ‘to seven inches above the ground Control of corn borers calls for | cooperation between neighbors, Pep- i per said.

That he was looked upon with respect and admiration by his com- peers is shown by the fact that the surviving files of the news sheets of his day, such as the “Patriot” the Whig” and the “Democrat,” name him either as ihe presiding officer of every public meeting reported or held in the county between 1810 and 1830, or as the chairman of its most important commitliee “I'he home al “Rock” was well known to all the notables of the Commonwealth of the early days of the nineteenth century sited bY governors, senators, judges, members of the General Assembly and prom- inent citizens, particularly of cen- tral Pennsylvania, it was the soene of many a gay assembiage, and the place where decisions were made af- fecting the interests of all of our citizens.
