UNJUST DISCRIMINATION. 



The Way B. Hammond Tracy De- 

 scribes the Illinois Quarantine. 



Wenham, Mass., Feb. 2, 1920. 



Tliere has been much discussion 

 iibout the liliiroiiean Corn Borer but 

 the F'ederal Horticultural Board has 

 had it under observation for a number 

 of years and liave decided tliat it is 

 not so very (Ifstructive. The Weekly 

 News Letter (copies of which may be 

 had on application to Washington), 

 gave a very good account of how lit- 

 tle destruction has been caused. It is 

 easily controlled, and is seldom found 

 on well kept farms. The destruction 

 has been greatly exaggerated, and 

 much of the discussion and the result- 

 ing trouble has been brought about by 

 misplaced liolitical efforts. 



On October 13, 1919 Florida put into 

 effect the following Quarantine, Rule 

 43: — 



"In order to prevent the introduc- 

 tion into the State of Florida, of the 

 European Corn Borer; a destructive 

 Insect enemy of com and other crops, 

 known to have become establishe<l In 

 the State of New York and In New 

 England, the shipment, transportation 

 or carrying into the state of Florida, 

 from the states of Maine, New Hamp- 

 shire, Vermont, Massachusetts. Rhode 

 Island. Connecticut and New York and 

 from all other states or countries in 

 which the Eurojiean Corn Borer may 

 be found to occur of any and all of the 

 following materials Is hereiby pro- 

 hibited. 



"All broom com. com. corn fodder, 

 stover, corn stalks and corn cobs: ex- 

 cept shelled dry kernels of com free 

 from pieces of cobs and stems, corn 

 meal grits and flakes' and the cooked

"All hay, straw, grass and the dried 

 stems, leaves or stalks of grasses and
