Somewhat worse than any of the | other things that come ta us from: Europe in these days of Bolsheviki and straight German propaganda, are the - diseases affecting farm crops, which, despite thie shortage of space, and, on arrival, seem to be allowed free entry at ports on this continent. In 1917, the most un- destrable inmmigrant in this line was the European corn borer, whieh gr rived via Boston, and against which a warning has been sounded by the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture this year. European wart dis- ease is noticeable at harvest time and id characterized by warty, spongy, caulifiower-like growths on the un- derground portions of the plant, and it is pointed out that this and the European corn borer may become the most destructive of two most import ant crops, of any disease known on : co! hv near to 'hear 8 are attacked someone 4 mile: a may hear the bells, and come to tl rescue of the sheep.
