Aigh : "TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1927 EE a * 4 BURGLARIES An epidemic of burglary broke out in Osh- awa on August 12, It is believed that the in- 1ection was brought here from outside points, but the progress of the disease indicates that some more ov less citizens of the municipality have contracted the germ. In situations of this kind the usual human impulse is to turn with an accusing glare in the direction of the Police Department. Such glares, if there isn't a solid array of facts and igures to back them, are not worth much, "But without statistics, it is fairly obvious that the city's police is entirely too small to edge with the situation, There seems to be roam in Oshawa's public safety department for a staff of detective constables in plain clothes. The uniformed policeman merely advertises his profession amongst the rodent crew that lives by stealth and prospers by cunning. Another factor in favor of the burglar type of criminal in Oshawa is poor street lighting. It'is something of a marvel that citizens have na more to complain of from the underworld than a series of petty burglaries. 'Conditions are apt to get worse instead of better, and the civic authorities responsible ghould not toy with the situation. Two or three burglaries a week indicate only one of two things: Police inefficiency or police insuffi- ciéney, ; The Oshawa police force seems to be quite efficient within its limitations, There remains only to give the chief constable enough men to cover the city and then demand results, «ah THE EUROPEAN, CORN BORER "The history of cultivation is the history of aniage-long combat between mankind and the insect world, and the price of the survival of the race upon this planet has been "eternal vigilance." The battle-ground is in the fields and gardens the world over, where man waged an unceasing fight against a myriad enemies ~ whose ever-increasing numbers are seriously éhallenging the very continuance of our exist- ence, The newest, and without doubt the worst pest' we have ever had to contend -with is the Eoropean Corn Borer, which was introduced on this continent about the year 1920. Its num- bers in this Province alone are said to have quadrupled every year since that date, and it ig estimated that there are at the present time perhaps. - 1,000,000,000 scattered throughout Ontario In the words of Lawson Caesar, Provincial Entomologist, "The European Corn Borer is the most serious insect pest that has at any time been introduced into North America and ig"likely, unless control measures are carried out thoroughly, to destroy the corn industry in sll the main corn-growing areas of Canada and the United States, It is particularly destructive to sweet corn growing, because it readily at- tacks the ears and renders the crop unmarket- able." ' At this period of the year, when the sueccu- ears of sweet corn are found upon every gble in the land, and corn-roasts are a popular form of evening amusement, one would be loth to believe that there is any possibility that a be, and not only every farmer, but ° of us who raises even'a'few eats of €orn in a back-yand, has a part to play in this tiers wots ; counties of Essex and Kent the corn has been ruined. In fact, it is estimated the acreage under corn this year is less ten per cent. of the normal erop, while which was passed in 1925 and amended in 1926, was applied last year to eight counties, | Grandmother's teakettle sings. to the at nineteen, and possibly «each county concerned is authorized to em- ploy inspectors whose duty it is to see that all corn growers put into effect certain preventive - measures, which it is hoped will have an ap- ~ preciable effect in reducing the numbers of the larvas now bringing devastation and destruc- tion into our fields and gardens, . Unless these measures are carried out with the utmost thoroughness and efficiency, there is every reason to believe that the insect will continue to increase rapidly in the future, and there is unfortunately no reason to believe or hope that nature will come to our rescue and control this imported pest as she has done our native insects, All the evidence indicates that unless the farmers and all corn growers act together, each man doing his share, the corn industry of the Province will ultimately be ruined. : We strongly advise all who have been raising corn in their gardens, either in large or small quantities, te burn all stalks and cobs without delay, The caterpillars remain in the stalk all winter, and in June of the following year change into pupae, from which the moths emerge from the middle of June to early in August, Though some have been found in large stalked weeds near cornfields, the vast majority remain in the stalks of the corn, and it would seem, therefore, that by burning all stalks and roots we are doing a great deal towards the eradication of this terrific menace, For the farmer, of course, the problem of eradication is entirely different, It is absolute- ly necessary that all cornfields be plowed up either in the fall or early spring, and all stubble which is not completely buried must be gather- ed up and burned, Limitation of space prevents our giving a detailed account of the other operations recommended by the Provincial Entomologist, but we will be pleased to send to any interested party a very attractive little pamphlet prepared by Mr, Caesar, which gives all the necessary information concerning this latest and most destructive pest which threat- ens the prosperity of our corn-growing coun- ties, Fie NELSON SET THE PRECEDENT Two lads from Bowmanville want to enrol in the Oshawa Collegiate Institute's night classes, but their application is being held in abeyance while the Board investigate the principle in- volved. : The Board members concerned are acting wisely in this regard, particularly with a view to an early settlement of the County pupils' fees question, Yet, there's these two lads, aged 17 and 18 respectively, and is there anyone who read the story about them who didn't feel a thrill at k:aowing that the fine old breed of earnestness and cmbition is not dying out. Rather, that where boys used to walk four miles to schoglh: these ycuths plan to take two eighteen mile bug trips weekly to get that little more of educa- tion which spells the difference between failure and success. a It well be recalled that Sir Horatio Nelson, at the Battle of Copenhagen, was informed that the fleet admiral had sent up a signal to retire. Clapping his spy-glass to his blind eye, the future hero of Trafalgar declared: "I can't see it!" Neison's precedent might be useful as re- gards the two boys from Bowmanville. As life draws to a close some men take up religion ; and some take up golf, It is provoking to have an automobile driver "honk" his disappointment at having missed you, Some wives would hardly want to claim the credit of having made their husbands what they are. .

For the most part our apples are not noted for their beauty, they lack the high coloring and glossy appearance of the western fruit. That is due to climatic con- ditions, but when you cut into them, their texture and flavor are unsurpassed, and you realize wuut a really good apple tastes like. It is not the rosiest apple that is the best apple, yet it is maily the color that' attracts the buyer at the fruit stands. N TIME 1S MONEY 1 (Toronto Telegr: .

APPLES AND SKINS (From the Halifax Chronicle) That beauty is only skin deep, t least in apples, seems to have een demonstrated by an experiment ecently conducted by Reger B.

The two houses are com- paratively young, the latier having been established twenty years ago and the former eighteen years ago. Both have been highly successful not only in the number of books issued but in the high character of many of the authors they have at- tracted.
