Burriss-Horrison Starts Auction Sole Friday Night The high clearance cart above is dusting corn for corn borer. The corn is about three feet high, correct stage for dusting, according to experts. far west as Kansas and Nebraska afld the Dakotas, and south to the Tennessee-Alabama line. Not only is the pest covering more ground each year. It is, in many places working more destruc tively. In Iowa, for example, the borer cost each com farmer last year an average of 750 dollars. There is nothing to indicate that the destruction has reached a peak. In fact, unless adequate controls are adopted, the corn belt may find the worse to come. Chemical control must from now on be considered part of the regular production of the crop.

In one report, Dr. F. S. Leeder of the Michigan department of health, said human beings are sus ceptible to at least 80 diseases of animals. Many of these diseases are prevalent in the United States, he reported. The danger that foreign maladies, may be imported by high speed air travel is also very real, he said. Most animal diseases to which man is susceptible are spread pri marily by livestock and wild game with which human beings come in to contact Work of veterinarians in helping to stamp out or control such liseases is thus an important fac- or in bettering human health. * In another journal article, Dr. W. P. Dearing, deputy surgeon general of the U. S. Public Health Service, points to the value of having veterin arians work closely with health de partments to protect the public against such dangerous maladies as rabies.
