Mr. W. C. O’Kane: In the limited time remaining, I have no desire 
to occupy more than just a moment. You may be interested in two 
notes. Beginning last spring, a major project was started at the New 
Hampshire experiment station on the European Com Borer. The 
summer’s work has shown that this season in New Hampshire the 
European Corn Borer had two generations. The other note has to do 
with the relation of weeds. There is an impression among many that 
there are more weeds to the square mile in New England than in Ohio, 
for example. In the lack of definite information, it would be difficult 
to say. One has to judge by impressions, of course. I have spent some 
time traveling by automobile in Ohio recently. While there is much 
wild land in New England, much forest and hill pasture, etc., so far in 
weeds are concerned I think that the proportion to the square miles a 
Ohio fields is much greater. 
If the weed problem is important in relation to the com borer, I’m 
afraid that it is going to be difficult in the central states.
