ONE BAB DOWN. 



In niinois Com Borer Ban. 



The proclamation of Governor Low- 

 den, of Illinois, March 24, which modi- 

 fies the previous state quarantine 

 against the European corn borer, shows 

 in three principal ways the influence of 

 the federal quarantine established 

 March 15. The revised proclamation 

 became effective April 1. 



It adds Pennsylvania to the territory 

 previously affected, including, however, 

 the whole state, whereas the federal 

 quarantine refers to only one town 

 therein. It adds asters, cosmos, zinnias 

 and hollyhocks to the flowers affected. 

 The third and most significant change 

 is that, while excluding the cut flowers 

 and entire plants of gladioli and dahlias, 

 it admits, in addition to their seeds, 

 "the corms of gladiolus and the tubers 

 of dahlia, when accompanied by a cer- 

 tificate of inspection of a federal or 

 state inspector, certifying that they are 

 free from stems or any parts thereof." 



The Better Solution. 



When the first Illinois quarantine, re- 

 ported in The Review of January 15, 

 was issued, objection was raised because 

 gladiolus corms and dahlia tubers were 

 subject to the quarantine provisions. 

 P. A, Glenn, chief inspector of the Illi- 

 nois state department of agriculture, re- 

 plied that these bulbs "were included 

 in this quarantine because we under- 

 stand that a part of the stem is fre- 

 quently attached to them when shipped, 

 and it is this portion of the stem which 

 is likely to carry the larvae of the 

 borer." To exclude from the state 

 stem-bearing corms and tubers seemed 

 the natural solution of the problem, a 

 solution adoj)ted in both the federal 

 and the Michigan quarantines; now lUi- 

 Bois has also come into line.
