BEAUTY 



If it is true that people 

 Avho live in beautiful 

 surroundings carry 

 with them a certain 

 harmo.iy, then we who 

 live among the flowers 

 ought to radiate kind- 

 liness and loveliness 

 into the world; and if 

 we do, we may be very 

 sure that kindliness 

 and loveliness ^vill be 

 returned to us.

and in some instanced to sections where 

 the 'holier than thou' attitude has 

 become rather oppressive. It is with 

 this point in view that inward ship- 

 ments in the future will be given the 

 same rigid inspection as is being given 

 to outgoing plants. Owing to the lack 

 of funds in the past, this phase of pro- 

 tective work has been impossible and 

 the department has had to rely largely 

 on the vigilance of the inspection serv- 

 ice of the states where such inward 

 shipments have had their origin. Ship- 

 ments have arrived here of late that 

 have borne no such inspection certifi- 

 I'atos, thus apparently showing on the 

 jiart of shippers a disregard for the 

 laws of their own states. This has en- 

 tailed the return of such shipments. 



"The attitude of the department is 

 toward the upbuilding of the nursery 

 industry in this state, an industry that 

 lias been increasing markedly of late 

 years. That there are unusual oppor- 

 tunities hero for the enterprising nurs- 

 eryman is shown by this increase, and 

 any methods by which the game can 

 be pushed along are commendable, es- 

 )>ecially if such methods be toward pre- 

 venting the efforts of the more enter- 

 prising grower from being stultified by 

 tlio laissez-faire attitude of the non- 

 jtrogressive. " 



CORN BOREBS FLY OVEB LAKE? 



An investigation into how the much- 

 dreaded insect, the European corn borer, 

 makes its way to Canada, where it is 

 quite prevalent, to the southern shore of 

 Lake Eric is to be begun shortly by the 

 United States Department of Agricul- 

 ture with the establishment of a small 

 investigational force of entomologists 

 at Sandusky, Ohio. The spread of the 

 corn borer is ss uniform over a narrow

strip extending practically the whole 

 length of the lake that the department 

 believes moths of the insect fly across. 

 The object of the investigation is to 

 tind out if this is a fact. 



If the lighthouse service grants the 

 necessary permission, observers of the 

 department will be placed at certain 

 lighthouses along the American shore of 

 the lake. It is believed that if moths 

 fly from Canada to the United States 

 they are likely to be attracted to the 

 big lights at night. Just how much in- 

 fluence these exert on the moths remains 

 to be seen. 



It has already been demonstrated that 

 moths, under certain conditions, can re- 

 sume flight after falling upon the water. 

 It has been suggested that the islands 

 at the western end of Lake Erie offer 

 resting places for moths in their jour- 

 ney to the American shore, and the in- 

 vestigators will watch to see if this 

 is true.
