MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH Corn Borer Serious Threat to Midvest Loss Last Year in Six States Totals Millions Last year in six states of the corn I elt the European com borer caused a loss of some 300 million dollars. In 23 other states, damage ranged from slight to quite severe. The corn borer appeared in this country in 1917 along the Atlantic seaboard. It has spread steadily until today it has reached states as The high clearance cart above is dusting corn for corn borer. The corn is about three feet high, correct stage for dusting, according to experts. far west as Kansas and Nebraska and the Dakotas, and south to the Tennessee-Alabam- a line. Not only is the pest covering more ground each year. It is, in many places working more destruc-tively. In Iowa, for example, the borer cost each corn farmer last year1 an average of 750 dollars. There is nothing to indicate that the destruction has reached a peak. In fact, unless adequate controls are adopted, the corn belt may find the worse to come. Chemical control must from now on be considered part of the regular production of the crop. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BUSINESS & INVEST. OPPOR.

For example, practically all foot-ball coaches are soaked from ankle to forehead in pes-- : simism. In baseball you get the optim-- i ists up to July. I And probably the : chief optimist of the lot is Fred Saigh, the owner of the Cardinals. Fred was that wav back In We have no idea of selling the Cardinals short. They are the only National League team in over 20 years that has been good enough and game enough to crowd the American League into a rough cor-ner more than once and apply the old right hand to the chin. What other National League team has won four world series in the last 20 years? -- Vanderbilt Uprising The right things in life don't always come to the right people, but a turn in this direction has been taken by Al Vanderbilt and his racing stable. Outside of Discovery, the Van-derbilt stable hasn't been able to give racing too many top horses just before and after the war. You had the feeling some years back that Vanderbilt horses seldom won any races. You considered this point in your visits to the mutuel windows. But there has been a sweeping change in the last two years. Bed O'Koses won $199,200 last year as a two-ye- old. Vanderbilt is a smart horseman. He saw at once, with the war over, that he had to move in a hurry. So he got Winfrey, one of the smart-est trainers in the business, to get his horses ready. He also picked Ralph Kercheval to run his farm. You may have forgotten Ralph Kercheval. Not so long ago he was one of the best backs Kentucky ever had. Ask Shipwreck Kelly, his teammate. Kercheval was also one of the greatest kickers football has ever seen. I mean up there with Ken Strong, the nonpareil of kickers. Kercheval had taken a keeD liking to the thoroughbred game. Both Winfrey and Kercheval have worked together to give Vanderbilt as strong a combina-tion as any racing man needs. Tangled Snarl The fight game has de-veloped the weird habit of moving further and further into the deep, tangled wildwood. As a starter it has only two good divisions today and the better one, the middleweight, is practically twisted out of shape The leading people eligible to fight for this crown are Jake LaMotta defending champion; Ray Robin son, welterweight champion; Rob ert Villemain and Laurent Daut-huill-and Rocky Graziano. The odds now are that Ray Rob-inson is the best middleweight in the world today with Villemain and Dauthuille about even for the runn-er- up spot. Grantland Bice March. Be was still that way in early June. "Don't sell ns short," he writes. "After a rather hectio start, we are now ready to settle down to play some real baseball. We are sup-posed to be a veteran team. We are both young and old. I honestly believe we are going to surprise you and a lot of others." The Cardinals are not going to surprise us. We picked them to finish second last fall and they car-ried the fight right up to the last day. We picked them to finish sec-ond this fall, although rating Ed-die Sawyer's Phillies right along-side. This Cardinal line-u- p is really a remarkable collection. Many of them were supposed to reach their peak in 1940. 1941 or 1942. Here and there some ball club has a survivor from the Neolithic age who lasts eight or ten years. But only one or two are still on the scene. Look at the years these Cardinals reached the big leagues: Max Lan-ier, 1939; Enos Slaughter, 1938; Stan Musial, 1941; Marty Marion, 1940; Howie Pollet, 1941; Harry Walker. 1940; Harry Brecheen, 1940; Alph Brazle, 1943. Here we have eight men who average 10 years service with one club. Make it nine and bne-ha- lf years if you care to. And yet this one club, built on spirit as well as ability, is still one of the favored teams in the older league, a ball club that might well enough go on to beat the highly favored Dodgers and win another pennant. Thcj are the exact opposite of the youthful Phillies many, many years older. Yet neither the Dodgers nor Phillies so far have been able to shake these veterans loose. They have an exceptionally fine manager in Eddie Dyer, a sportsman, a scholar, a gentleman, an able manager and a swell guy. Humans Susceptible To 80 Animal Diseases Animal diseases are a constant threat to the health of human be-ings, two public health physicians declare in the Journal of the Ameri-can Veterinary Medical association. In one report, Dr. F. S. Leeder of the Michigan department of health, said human beings are sus-ceptible to at least 80 diseases of animals. Many of these diseases are prevalent in tlje United States, he reported. The danger that foreign maladies may be imported by high speed air travel is also very real, he said. Most animal diseases to which man is susceptible are spread pri-marily by livestock and wild game with which human beings come in-to contact. Work of veterinarians in helping to stamp out or control such diseases is thus an important fac-tor in bettering human health. In another journal article, Dr. W. P. Dearing, deputy surgeon general of the U. S. Public Health Service, points to the value of having veterin-arians work closely with health de-partments to protect the public against such dangerous maladies as rabies.

Poultry Experts Advise Weeding Out Cockerels All cockerels, except those to be kept for breeders, should be re-moved from the pullet flock by the time they are 12 weeks of age, poultry experts report. If the cockerels are marketed at 12 weeks of age they will command a better price than if they are kept longer. If kept longer their meat be-comes coarse and stringy. The rate of gain per pound of feed decreases with ag and size of birds. |
